Caffe Monza Partick in Glasgow City

Coffee is good, cake selection suspiciously similar to what was available at a local wholesale supermarket this weekend. Fulfilled a need this time but will find a more authentic spot next time.

I live locally, so plenty of options if not too many. We walked into a a near empty coffee shop and took a seat (just the two of us) Quickly approached by a female member of staff who advised and I quote “I can’t let you sit there, my boss will be in soon and he won’t be happy if there are two people sitting in a four person booth” ha ha. We looked around for the YouTube prank cams, the coffee shop was near empty, and even if not these booths aren’t huge 6-8 seaters, 4 at a squeeze! I don’t blame the baristas being honest, I think they knew how absurd the request was, but their boss or owner must rule with an iron fist. They did try showing us to another 2 person table but we politely left, whilst laughing our heads off.

Use this cafe regularly for coffee which is always excellent and nice and hot. Only had toasted croissants from the food and just ok The cakes are nice but big. All of the staff are pleasant and nice atmosphere also few outside seats great spot for people watching

Overpriced average food. Inconsistent with what you get when ordering the same item. For example, sometimes you get a hot chocolate that's made with effort with lovely sprinkles and marshmallows and sometimes you get a plain one with no sprinkles but are still charged the same price. Then when you order a croissant you don't so much as get a side salad. Whereas on Byres Road Cafe Francoise charges similar but you get a lovely side salad with dressing. Also it isn't always easy ordering because there seems to be a language barrier with a few members of staff. Overall nothing special.

We have been regulars for a while but won't be back after the service today. We were told out group of 3 couldn't sit in a booth because its only dor groups of 4 even though they're were no other tables. Another member of staff said it was okay so we stayed. We also ordered two cheese and tomato toasties which were a complete waste of money. They were so soggy and only one slice of tomato on half the toastie. Won't be back again.

Great spot and location unfortunately the tall blonde gentleman had a terrible attitude and when I had to ask for a remake on my coffee because the beans where clearly burnt and tasted bitter I could feel and hear him being bitchy about it with other staff His customer service skills are atrocious and should be given some training on how to deliver better service I've been coming here since it first opened about 6/7 years ago and he has put me off going back as he clearly talks about the customers when he is there

We enjoyed out stop for tea and cakes. We had warm chocolate brownie and gyspsy cream and other cakes.All the cakes and tea were lovely and the lady serving was very nice. Will come back again.

Visited this cafe today with two other ladies. As it was busy we squashed round a table for two with 3 seats. I have a broken shoulder and my arm is in a sling. A booth then became available and as we started to move to sit in it as it would be more comfortable and less awkward for me,a man signalled across the cafe from another seat to say that this was “his seat” and he then moved and sat in the booth. I believe he is the cafe manager/owner…his manner towards me was very rude,abrupt and unsympathetic. I will not return to this cafe and nor will my friends. Very poor attitude and customer service.

Cooked food not properly reheated, and the bacon was all fat. Cheapest quality food I have had in a cafe for a long while. Our coffees were like dishwater and lukewarm, and the woman in charge of serving was very rude and aggressive towards customers and the young teenage girl working with her. To top if off, the toilets were dirty, not really a surprise, as the overall cleanliness was very poor. Certainly avoid this cafe and go elsewhere in Partick.

Wel run and popular. But could that be because it is cheap? Soup was "wash up water "style, potatoe and leek. My sausage filled roll less interesting than the sauce (red or brown) that comes with it.

Fantastic would return in a heart beat . J it’s wished I lived nearer and it definitely would be my regular

Rating I would give it a zero circle Now I appreciate its New Year’s Eve But if you are open you should be selling good food I was hungry for a cheese and ham toastie Caffe Monza was busy and looked good My order came as a take away in a brown paper bag I noticed the cheese oil on the paper but as I say i was hungry Took it to my car On opening the bag It was a mush of cheese and bread I couldn’t separate the two sections Eventually prised them apart Tried to cut the one section Bread was soggy with cheese and wouldn’t cut Cheese all over the place And on the outside of toastie.!!! Obviously microwaved I was hungry but couldn’t accept what i had been given It wasn’t cheap either Took it back in Very rude counter girl Said We don’t make them we just buy them in and heat them There’s nothing we can do! As I suspected “micro ping” It gives the look of a hand made food cafe but the toastie certainly not what I expected Toastie should have toasted exterior bread The clues in the title I’d avoid if I was you First time visit won’t be back Maybe their staff could be taught some customer service AVOID !!!

Very nice looking inside. Bit overpriced. Ciabatta is very small and comes with absolutely nothing beside it, no salad, crisps or even coleslaw as you would get in other places for less than the price here. All a bit small and unfulfilling sadly.

Went there a month ago to get a take away americano, for which I paid 3.10 pounds. And I honestly think this was the worst coffee I've ever paid for, even macdonalds sells better coffee than this. Beans where clearly burned to a crisps, it felt like just drinking some kind of burnt substance. Never going there again.

My friend and I (she in her Lunch break) thought we would give this new eaterie a try.....boy! was it a bad decision. Dirty tables....cleaned it ourselves. Nobody to tell you that you have to go to the counter, get a menu, return to your table, make your choices then join the queue again. Stood watching the staff....poor girl on the Till ( only one wearing a mask correctly) was clearly struggling with taking orders over the deafening music and constantly had to refer to a colleague for help with what to press on the Till. Boy in kitchen area, with undernose mask, lifting salad, crisps, etc with bare hands. Eventually gave my order and asked for a receipt which caused panic for the poor till operator who had to ask the man beside her...who seemed to be the Barista. Was handed a little gadget with a number on it to put on the Table.... not sure why as it neither buzzed nor flashed and seemed of no use to the servers. Sat for 40 minutes. Went to the counter and asked how much longer our food and drinks would be; young girl told me that we were next and subsequently brought our drinks. Sat for 20 minutes. Back to counter as we had no more time to wait....Barista man became very defensive....told me they were busy, did I expect to be served first, pointed to the orders on the rack and told me I would be the FIFTH meal to be cooked! Asked for my money back and left hungry and angry. I was prepared to make allowances in a new cafe, but not to that extent. Coffee Monza Greenock will be neither recommended nor re visited.

They don't seem to do much in the way of cooking here. Stopped here for a quick lunch, we both ordered paninis which were pre-packed & cost £5.95 each. Whilst they were tasty enough they were a bit small & didn't even come with a bit of salad, there's better places nearby.

I’ve used this Cafe a few times for coffee and always found the coffee to be excellent. Unfortunately the same can’t be said for the food. Having missed lunch, I ordered a cheese and ham toastie which undoubtedly was the least tastie toastie ever. When...

Was going for a morning walk out at Loch Lomand and decided to grab a coffee and breakfast roll to take away. Place I planned to visit had closed down, so went along to the near by Caffe Monza. Nice enough place, and staff were...

Love this place and how well they handled lockdown with efficiency and safely. Have new wee puppy and he was brought water. Nice atmosphere and one of my fav coffees. Also getting toaster which is great as like some nice toast instead of pre filled...

Great coffee shop with good selection of sandwiches, yummy cakes and great coffee. Staff friendly and efficient. Well organised and set up fo Covid rules.

I went to sit-in at the cafe and ordered the tomato soup and bread (I was charged extra for the bread). The soup came in a cardboard container and tasted like heated-up canned tomatoes. I only finished it because I didn't want to waste it....

Such a great little cafe, staff are so lovely, cosy environment, tasty food and great place to study or have a catch up , dog friendly too!

Distancing in cafe is short. For some reason the male servers don't want to wear their face masks when serving. Lots of takeaway customers not wearing masks. Customers walk around without masks. Lunch roles and wraps not very good. Retun : nope

I ordered decaf, but I'm writing this review at 3am, so I'm pretty sure the coffee wasn't decaf.....

Firstly as someone who loves good coffee.... I've been quite a few times and coffee is really good. Nice atmosphere and staff nice. Food very unappealing which is a shame.... Pre packed panni, toasties and giant bought in muffins. Shame as this place could be...

I was here today to meet my Mum, she was already seated and so I "assumed" her details were taken, it was only on leaving and when i got home I realised there was no one taking details, no hand sanitisers, the tables were not...

no social distancing measures, no one way system, tables not sanitised, people just wandering about wherever, no track and trace contact taken. felt so unsafe left after 5 min

The only toilet is right next to the queue at the counter with the door left half open. Did see any menus on the tables. We ordered coffee and cakes which were brought to our table. The coffee wasn't very hot but it was strong...

This cafe is very central to Partick with a clientele that has caused it to expand the seating area recently! There is little more space but more seating and a cosy wee respite it is! Coffee and hot chocolate are the go to's,with lots of...

A nice bright cafe in Partick, completely spoiled by position of toilet, right next to food counter. This is made even worse as the sliding door to the toilet is often left half open or wide open! Dreadful in an eating place, don’t know how...

Went for Sunday lunch (around midday) with my son, who ordered the full breakfast. The black pudding was burnt to a crisp (quite literally - it split all over the table when he tried to cut it), the square sausage was tough as old boots...

This being my second visit to Caffe Monza, Partick- I had high expectations. I had previously visited in April 2019, where I was greeted by an extremely friendly and polite group of 3 young girls, who took time to chat and personalise our orders as...

Had the most amazing hot full breakfast and a lovely coffee all served with a smile will return again thanks

The staff were pleasant enough but it just seemed that everything went wrong/could have been better. 1) No menus on table. I asked for one and they said the only menu is the one above the counter. This simply does not work in a business...

Sunday Breakfast on a chilly morning. No smiling welcome and no indication of wether to at a seat for table service or wait in the queue. Thankfully we watied in the queue and were served. Whilst wating it was obvious that take away took president....

Sunday coffee stop. Drinks order in (single shot Americano, skimmed milk on the side along with a Cortado) and a heated scone with jam and butter. Simples! Hot scone presented, drinks pending. Waiting patiently watching newly arrived 'takeaway' customers (who were behind us) having their...

I've been to Monza quite a few times over the last couple of years and have always found the coffee to be of great quality, especially if you like rich Italian coffee! That said, I think there is some room for improvement in other areas....

Caffe Monza has always been a favourite of mine when I am in Partick Today I popped in and saw the results of the new refurbishment. I always liked a booth at the window but they seemed to have taken one booth away and despite...

Pleasant little cafe. Was nice to see that they had decaf tea. Lots of choice of yummy cakes. Place was very warm but think the staff were finding that as they opened the door which I was happy with.

Dropped in by chance. Unpretentious place. No two pieces of furniture seem to have been made at the same place. Friendly atmosphere and the coffee is superb!

I bought 2 ITISON vouchers. First time I used it staff were ok, as was food. Next time I went to redeem second voucher the poe faced Karen was on and told me there was virtually nothing left that I could redeem voucher for, so...

Having bought a "Too good to go" deal for Cafe Monza, I arrived at the designated time, to collect my "mystery bag". The door of the cafe was open, however, I was quickly informed by a staff member, that they were closed! When I explained...

Staff falling over themselves to point out that breakfast finished at 11 ( arrived about 11.30) then later took breakfast dish order from an outside table! Breakfast most interesting section of menu. Service not great

Friendly service, good coffee and plenty seats. Free water and brought items to your table. Noticed they have water for the dogs too. Will return.

A great independent coffee shop located in the heart of Partick. Very friendly and attentive staff serving good quality Italian coffee at reasonable prices. The food menu isn't huge but it's delicious and well thought out. The cakes are fabulous also. Definitely the best local...

Dropped in with friends before a walk and then back again after the walk. Great coffee, nice cakes, lovely staff.

Nice cafe with a good menu. Happy to create variations to suite taste or dietary requirements.Nice coffee too.

Really nice place serving great coffee , cakes etc. nice atmosphere . fab music. really nice service. Would go back and recommend.

We popped in for lunch. The cafe offer freshly made crepes, pizza, sandwiches and coffee. My daughter chose a Nutella crepe. It came quickly and was well presented. The crepe was made to order and had far too much Nutella inside. So she left quite...

Visited for some breakfast. Pretty disapointing all round. Opted for scrambled egg on toast - but eggs not creamy or on the toast. No ketchup in the caffe either! My wife had a variant Eggs Benedict which included a slice of ham. Latte needed extra...

Good coffee, good tea, reasonable prices very pleasant staff. Didn't have a chance to try the food but it looks and smells delicious.

We had a voucher for crepes, ice cream and a hot drink. Good value for money. Service was good, helpful staff.

No shortage of coffee shops in Partick these days, but this one stands out. On a prime corner location on Dumbarton Road, it’s a nice airy space with booths, tables and stools at the window. Coffee is excellent, food is muffins, croissants, paninis and the...

Having asked for a club sandwich, I was given a avocado /tomato sandwich! My soya latte was made with normal milk. My partners croissant and Americano were ok. Too much competition around to be so complacent. Won't go back.

Visit regularly, great coffee and pleasant and bright atmosphere and staff. However the poached eggs are a bit of a hit and miss and more recently they have been a miss. Last week ordered eggs benedict. Egg yolks were hard and ham tasteless. Previously have...

Been here on 2 occasions both terrible. The staff that served us on both occasions were ignorant and unfriendly. The service was very poor and slow. The 1st visit was for 2 x cold drinks had to wait 15 mins the 2nd visit was for...

I really like Caffe Monza and the stuff there is always friendly and fast. But I went yesterday and the “ginger guy” at the machine was really slow and it took 15 minutes to make a coffee. This was not the first time that happened....

Waited almost 10 min for takeaway coffee which was cold staff could not look more disengaged or move any slower. Will not be back Patrick is full of decent coffee stops but this isn’t one of them .

Second visit and more disappointing than before. Ordered poached eggs almost cold and over cooked and eggs were tasteless plus sitting area cold and all the tables whether at free standing chairs or in the elevated booths are too high to eat at comfortably. And...

10 out of 10 for the service but pot of tea went cold very quickly and mug was huge which always puts me off; It's not a tankard I want. Might go in for the eggs benedict some time. I see now, from others' pics,...

There's no shortage of cafes in the West end so, it's great to eat in this stand out cafe. I come here regularly with friends and the opinion is that the coffee, food for breakfast or lunch and service are great here. There a mixture...

Variety of food and drinks. Great alternative milk options. Personally I loved the atmosphere and the whole layout of the cafe.

Went to Caffe Monza this morning for the second time and had a quick brunch. Ordered the breakfast special (bread avocado salmon poached eggs and hollandaise sauce) which was good but left me a bit disappointed as the eggs were not poached at all and...

This is a really good cafe in a great position in Partick and is very popular. Interior is nicely decorated and there is, an excellent range of Paninis, focaccias and piadinas plus cakes. Coffee is also very good and you can watch the world go...

Still a great place to indulge your Italian side - canolis are delicious and the cakes most inviting.

I recently met a friend here and was very impressed-as others have said, it's very bright and airy, and is more spacious than it looks from the outside. there is a lovely clock with Roman numerals just above the door which is unusual and adds...

We were at Monza recently and had a lovely time. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. Reasonably priced, too. Will definitely be back soon.

Caffe Monza is centrally situated on Dumbarton Road, very close to Partick Railway Station. It's light and airy, spacious and has free wifi. We went several times for coffee and cake, and were well-satisfied with both. This would be my 'local' if I lived here....

This is a nice spot, usually busy and serving really nice coffee. Unfortunately its rating is let down by a few things which could be easily addressed. First of all, portions. My croissant with cheese and ham was so underfilled that I could barely taste...

It is very nice place to meet friends in the morning talks with a cup of wonderful coffee. I ate poached egg also with avocado and salmon, it was really tasty. Really recommend!

Rick flavoured coffee and tasty eats. What more could you want on an easy Sunday afternoon. Just near railway station.

Wet walk back from Riverside museum & we were intending to get the subway back to Glasgow for a much needed cuppa when we spotted this lovely café. So glad we stopped, had a very delicious coconut hot chocolate - real treat for me as...

Popped in here for a spot of breakfast as I had an hour to kill ahead of a meeting. Lovely little cafe, great atmosphere, welcoming staff (even at just after 7am!). Ordered the breakfast special of poached eggs and smoked salmon on crushed avocado and...

Visited Caffe Monza after a friend had recommended the place for a coffee, I was not disappointed. Decided to try the dairy free hot chocolate and it was the best I've ever had. The person I was with loved their coffee. The staff were friendly...

Attempt at Taste of Italy it's not, two of us visited today, focaccia was dry and inedible filled wth one linp spinach leaf a slice of tomato and dubious little piece of parma ham. My partners focaccia was just as bad. Not a sign of...

The amount of times I've driven past and been unable to park, today was different, I finally managed to park and stop off here for lunch. We had some lonely focaccia from the varied menu. The choices on offer seemed really fresh and there were...

Soup and a sandwich with tasty filling. The breads were fresh, mine herby and complimented the chicken and sun dried tomatoes filling. Accompanied by ministrone soup If only the sun was shining I could have been in Italy. Tomato soup and mozzarella, pesto and tomato...

We only visited for a coffee and cake and left a little bit disappointed. Positives - lovely decor and ambiance; nice friendly staff; nice variety on the menu. What made it negative was the cheesecake, which felt very heavy and not very fresh. Hot drinks...

All style and no substance, not quite but another trendy cafe that offers food and drink to a formula. Looks better than it is. The staff were friendly, the coffee acceptable, the cake was disappointing, the price was very reasonable. The cake was way too...

That scene in Godfather 3 when the traitor is fed canolis (poisoned) ? Haven't touched a canal since until this place - three flavours - nutella, chocolate and pistachio, all good. Rest of the food is excellent too.

Just right for a delicious cappuccino or a quick snack; always busy and that's a good sign. Excellent customer service and free WiFi double bonus.

Popped in here last week for tea and cake with my friend and was disappointed. Tea was not hot enough and despite asking for a top up of boiling water it was only lukewarm. The empire biscuit was average but nothing special. Maybe we just...

Great wee place food is fantastic and staff very friendly and helpful The place looks fantastic walls clad in reclaimed wood well worth a lot ok

Nice coffee and cakes. Just sitting watching the world go bye on a cold and wet Saturday afternoon. ;)

Be here a couple of times, nice place for a coffee and a bite to eat, great location, good layout with booths, tables and stools by the window. Overall very good.

I like form, formatting, design - though I have not one ounce of creativity or art inside me. Recently, I cut my garden and felt just so good about it, that it looked SO nice – yea, that was a work of art for me...
