iCafe Merchant City in Glasgow City

Best brunch in town! Fresh, flavorful, and filling

I tried coffee there, and I strongly recommend it. Nice place to sit in and drink your coffee However, they only accept card payment, no cash

Went on a Saturday afternoon. Place was busy but seats were still available. Ice cream is cheap compared to others but the serving size is generous. I got the pistachio and Ferrero Rocher flavors and both were exceptional.

Halal Cafe with free WiFi and very nice food. Ordering can be done through the app or at the front, convenient and easy through the app. Ordered the big breakfast (without mushrooms) and cappuccino, served quickly and fresh, good temperature. Fairly priced food and drinks. 10/10 would recommend and come again!

Really nice place with friendly staff, good food and drink options and a.nice relaxed atmosphere.

Popped in for a quick drink which wasn't that quick and order was made incorrectly. As other reviews suggest we also suffered from not knowing you needed a table number to order. Might be worth considering some signage.

I absolutely LOVE iCafe! It has the best food and chai. It’s the perfect atmosphere for working or a relaxing afternoon.

Lovely little place with a nice selection of halal food. Easy parking right outside but it was pricey. Lovely food and excellent service

We were struggling to find a late breakfast in Glasgow and stumbled upon this place which was fantastic. The choice is huge and some really fun options. My husband said his veggie burrito was the best he's ever had. Really hearty portions too. A great place to get in from the rain and have a leisurely meal.

Amazing Cafe, staff are very lovely and friendly. Food was delicious. Atmosphere was a lovely chilled vibe to just relax

Nice self service coffee bar / restaurant. They have several lovely vegan options! I do have to say their chai latte and hot coco are a bit too sweet and heavy for my taste but everything else was perfect !

Love the laid back vibe with the outdoor space, which is perfect for people watching. The coffee is great and the staff are all so lovely and friendly. I-Cafe is our regular "go-to" in town.

One of the best coffee shops to work in. Great coffee and food, helpful staff and some awesome booths to get some work done. Perfect! It even has a meeting space you can book...

iCafe in Glasgow is the ultimate hangout spot for students! It stays open later than most places, which is perfect for those late-night study sessions or just chilling with friends. With tons of seating and a super friendly staff, you'll always feel welcome here. Plus, their menu is packed with delicious options. From tasty baguettes and smoothies to a wide variety of teas and coffees. The only thing they can't offer is a sunny guarantee for their outdoor seating, but hey, that's Glasgow for you! Whether you're catching up with friends or grabbing a late-night caffeine fix, iCafe has you covered. I find myself here after 5 pm for my social calls more often than not. It's definitely a go-to spot!

Great prices, atmosphere and staff

Very nice place cosy and a very good vibe. The lady at the counter was nice and explained to me what was available. I took a great porridge with fresh bananas which is suprisingly very hard to find in Glasgow. So I highly recomend this place for a good porridge.

Students like to work here with laptops and tablets. That's why almost all tables were occupied. I would like some high tables to have sockets for charging mobile devices. The coffee was very good and the service was customer oriented!

A wonderful experience in every sense of the word, and I tried coffee, a Brazilian crop and a Colombian crop 👍🏼

Very friendly staff, lovely food. A clean place. Would recommend 👌

Great location and has lots of seating available since its on 2 floors. Has free wifi and it was pretty quick. Was easy to order on the phone and to pay or can order at the counter. I got a waffle with bacon with a smoothie. The waffle was good and pretty sweet. The smoothie was also really good. Service was quick and everyone was super nice!

The signature coffees are a mini meal on its own, filled with cream and chocolate. But the coffee in it does taste quite good. I had the cinnamon mocha and quite enjoyed it, although I couldn’t finish all of its cream and chocolate topping.

Cosy wee cafe, but can be really busy and hard to find a seat with a plug

50% chance of finding a server who shows you how much his work is boring him or simply the fact that you are a stranger pisses him off. Friendly waitress, average service, rude waiter.

Perfect place for work - good internet and lovely stuff ☺️

Amazing place to take some hot chocolate and focus on your work :)

Was in town early for an appointment so popped in for a coffee.(had a bagel too) good service and great coffee!

I went to this branch recently for a quick takeaway coffee and was served by the lovely Andrew. He recommended an oat cortado which was fabulous. Lovely friendly service can’t wait to come back!

Spent ages using the app to order food and then panther payment didn't work. Tried my son's phone and that failed as well!

We arrived at 8 p.m., there was still an hour left to close the place. We ordered a blue tea. A pistachio coffee. They didn't serve the blue tea, instead they put what I left them in the photo. The glasses are made of cardboard and not cups when we ask to take it at the place sitting. The poorly served coffees. They brought only 1 cutlery, we are two people, my companion had to eat with his hands. There are no napkins either. It was April 1st, very bad service. BAD !!

Visited 20th March about 2 hours before closing. Service was good, but chicken on nachos had an odd texture - was chewy and bouncy - and the signature drink I ordered did not have any flavourings and was just a regular coffee with cream on top. Really disappointed given the price, especially as iCafe used to be one of my favourites. Probably won't be back for a little while.

Great coffee, great selection busy for a good reason.

Service was good but drink left a lot to be desired. Food was dry, definitely frozen and not defrosted properly. Will not be back.

I had high expectations for this place but was really disappointed - bought a sandwich which wasn't very nice but the worse was the vanilla chai - one third of the mug was undissolved syrup and of course the rest was bland. The presentation was awful as well. I felt I wasted more than £9 on this visit, definitely not coming back. Seats are not comfortable either.

Takeaway coffee, fast and good coffee. Friendly service.

Free WiFi and place to work and study. Staff nice. Place clean.

Nice place for a short stop. The coffee is good and generous, cakes as well. Serving is prompt and kind. Toilets could be cleaner.

Spacious coffee house and internet cafe with an eclectic selection of tasty dishes, mostly vegan or vegetarian-friendly. Friendly relaxed environment, and swift cheerful service.

I was there on Saturday evening with my son for coffee and we both had the sweet chilli wraps which were absolutely delicious... the coffees were lovely, really tasty... would definitely have no hesitation in recommending this place... the stafff are always so helpful... 5 stars ⭐️ all day long 👍

Good spot for coffee and food but also space to work. More space than you think with upstairs area. Ordering by app is useful too.

£5 menu is fantastic and meals are delicous

Great spot to work from for a few hours.

This is where I order my favorite mocha coffee which feels like a vitamins which makes me alive all day!

Dropped by here on my way to office. Just tried their coffee and it was surprisingly flavorful that suits my taste buds! will definitely come back here.

Coffee was decent, better than your usual chains Costa, Starbucks etc but nothing special like you might find in a small independent coffee shop. Good in a rush

Nice cafe, good coffee and lots of nice cakes/traybakes on offer

My friend and I went there and the place was stuning and the staff were friendly and helpful. I ordered cinnamon Mocha it was tasty and my friend ordered white flat coffee also he has said it was nice! Definitely recommended.

I go here regularly to study, I really like this place, a bit expensive but the quality of food/coffee is good. I particularly like their loaded bap, that thing is banging. It does get pretty busy and there is limited seating upstairs which brings me onto my only real criticism. The bar stools upstairs are really tall meaning you are hunched over the wooden surface. This leads to it being really uncomfortable after like 20 mins. I think people would use this area more if the stools were a bit shorter and you could get more usable seating. Lob some wood off the stool legs and its 5*.

Love this place! Delicious coffee and halal food!

Good coffee and nice atmosphere

The perfect place to study while enjoying a great meal.

We usually come here for food but it was disappointing today. I ordered my usual panini for takeout and was asked if I wanted it heated, which I said yes to. This guy worker gave me a panini that was not heated and the waiting time was long. Not sure if the worker is new, as he also didn’t know how to cut a panini. I also ordered a latte for takeout and the cup was half filled with cream, for the price I expected more latte and less cream. Disappointed this time, will come back again as it is one of my favourite coffee shops in Glasgow, hoping that it will be better.

Far too expensive. Sandwiche and a hot chocolate cost me a tenner...

Worst breakfast I've ever eaten. Flavourless scrambled eggs and turkey rashers are the only source of protein. And it's overpriced.

OK coffee. Wanky atmosphere. Expensive for the quality of the drinks.

Good little cafe to work remotely from

Enjoyed a coffee with my kids here.

Really large selection of vegan drinks and food. Would highly recommend the oat pistachio hot chocolate. Staff are friendly and helpful. For somewhere called iCafe, there is a notable lack off plug outlets, at leats downstairs. It can get quite busy so you may not be able to get a table depending on the time of day.

Popped in with the 2 kids during a trip to Glasgow. They went upstairs while I joined the queue for service. There were only two staff and so service was really slow, this is exacerbated by the fact they bring your coffee to your table rather than just allowing the customer to fetch it themselves. The man taking orders was particularly slow, and so it took ages to be served. The server asked for my table number, I replied that the kids were upstairs and I didn’t know what table they were at. He told me he couldn’t take my order unless I had a table number. Given I would need to rejoin a rather long queue, I just collected the kids and took them somewhere more customer friendly.

Not the cheapest place around, but you get what you pay for. My mocha was perfect. The menu is big and varied. I ordered a wrap, it was delicious and very filling. The service was good and friendly, the staff did check backs and cleared my table. Plenty of seats inside and out too, overall really nice establishment!

I’ve been coming here for ages and the food & staff are nice. A bit overpriced, but understandable for an Internet Cafe as people come here to study/work. So it’d be worth paying the extra IF it weren’t for the fact that they make it impossible to concentrate by BLASTING the music at a volume you would expect from a late night bar.

Je zoekt eerst je tafel uit en dan mag je pas bestellen. Een uniek concept die voor nogal wat verwarring zorgt als je gelijk plaats neemt in de wachtrij. De bestelling wordt dan wel weer aan je tafel bezorgd. Dat is een fijne service.

Cracking little cafe. Great food at very reasonable prices.

Wifi works less than half the time, pretty pointless for an internet cafe

Love the atmosphere of the place. Food was nice. Delicious lattes!

Most bland and tasteless breakfast I had in a while. At least coffee was alright.

The order {falafel sandwich / cheese tomato toast + teapot + flat white} The whole order is delicious.. The flat white is rich in coffee and delicious foam. The service is good.. I recommend it 👍🏻👍🏻 الطلب { ساندويتش فلافل/ توست جبن بالطماط+ ابريق شاي + فلات وايت } الطلب كله لذيذ .. الفلات وايت غني بالقهوة و الرغوة اللذيذه . الخدمة جيده .. انصح به 👍🏻👍🏻

Reason for 3 stars: The toilet is badly needing cleaned and decorated .

It's a lovely cafe.. and their drinks are amazing Loved it Friendly staff, cozy ambiance

very good cafe to watch the world go by,we went upstairs,

We both needed a tea after exploring the cathedral and necropolis and this cafe is perfectly situated on the way back to the main part of the city centre! They do an excellent if slightly unusual tasting breakfast tea and my husband’s milk chocolate shortcake also won his approval; the other cakes available all looked very tempting!

Great little spot in town for a late night coffee. Need more places open until evening for coffee

It is a good coffee place as the coffe and food is decent and there seems to be always space to sit down...

Good cafe. They have a good granola and yougurt. No filtered coffee but they have Americano

Cake was nice but coffee wasn't hot

They may be open at 8 but their kitchen is not. Just had coffee, it was fine.

The waitress with cool eyeliner is lovely and welcoming, come all the time and the service is amazing. Ice coffee is scrumptious I rate it and recommend.

Waited 15 minutes for a fruit juice. They prioritised a larger order before making my one even though I'd ordered before. Pretty pricey too

I like this branch. Lee from the staff is lovely and always welcoming. Thank you so much for this great service and positive energy.

Nice outside when the sun is out but not great. Sorry but very average.

We rented the meeting room here for a day a couple of weeks ago. The meeting room was really well equipped, with a screen that just worked (which seems to be a real rarity!), a white board and a flip board, a big table and 8/10 chairs. We were also able to dig out an extension lead which was useful given we all had laptops. The layout of the room was very good, and the design was quirky. The drinks we had were very nice and the cakes looked great - I was a little disappointed with the toasted sandwiches we got at lunch especially as some of the other options looked amazing (like the breakfast pancakes!). The service was good, the wait-staff bought our drinks to our room (which also happened if you didn't rent the room). The internet offered was good too - no complaints about wifi!

Buen sitio en Glasgow para tomar un gran breakfast a un precio de 10 libras. Buenísimo y baratísimo. Servicio muy atento y amable. Planta de arriba con mesas para estar con el ordenador y zona de cibercafé.

Wrote my dissertation here, strengthened by espressos and the occasional waffles and nachos. A great place for work and meet-ups. One thing thought - the food is on the expensive side and is often not good value for money. For instance, the filling of the chicken wrap was cold on various occasions, although the wrap itself (the outer bit) was warm. Twas very disappointing, especially as it cost almost 9 quid.

Good cafe, first floor you can get space to study/office work. Staff is super friendly and free wifi available.

Variable standard - today it was a stale dry old pain au choc obviously left from yesterday. Really shouldn’t sell.

Great drinks, terrible cakes and pastries

We went for breakfast. I got the pancake stack with maple syrup and butter, and a small classic hot chocolate. The portion size was good, the wait time was reasonable and the staff members were friendly. The food tasted nice and was good value for money. The cafe has a nice chilled atmosphere. I look forward to going back.

Brilliant service and really helpful to an older guy who was struggling to work out how to print off something, that might have been me, and the espresso was excellent too

Great good for lunch, cakes etc. Nice vibe.

Pleasant for a coffee and cake though not the easiest for parking and can feel a little crammed when busy

I Cafe is one of my favourites, because they have great seating, indoor and outdoor. The view is wonderful. There is an accessible parking area in front of the cafe. The coffee and sandwiches are great and halal. They also have sweets, cake, and ice cream. It is a good place to study. Also, they have accessible printers for students. The staff are very friendly and kind. Great experience. قهوة اي كافيه من المقاهي المميزه في غلاسكو، عندهم جلسات خارجيه و داخليه و على اطلاله رائعه. قهوتهم مميزه و لذيذه و عندهم ساندويشات و حلويات و كيك و بوظة. الموضفين رائعين و لطيفين. اي كافيه مكان جيد للدراسه و للطلاب ايضا، و تصلح للمجموعات، عندهم طابعات يمكن استخدامها. تجربه مميزه

Lovely seats out front and nice decor inside, however I was really disappointed with everything else, sadly. Seats out front always look lovely so thought I'd try here for the first time. Menu had lots of options. I ordered a Mocha to drink - and I can honestly say it was like warm sweet milk. Couldn't taste any coffee, nor chocolate and its was quite pale in colour (see pics) maybe the person who made it is new and needs more barista training? Then someone came out with our food both dishes on the tray and she just popped my partner's food and table and just walked away with mine - didn't even ask to see if we needed anything or if we were waiting on anything else literally just walked away - it was quite funny to be honest. After 2 mins she came back with my food and again just put it down didn't ask if needed anything. I ordered scrambled eggs on a bagel. It came all separate so you had to build it yourself (not necessarily a problem, just found it weird) there was butter on the plate to spread the bagel but no knife, the butter was also melted liquid so the knife didn't matter anyway hahah. There was no salt or pepper so my eggs were pretty bland. The whole experience just became comedic really. Gave my partner and I a good laugh. But yeah don't think I'll come back. More training customer service and barista required on your part iCafe

Been a few times and always have a nice refreshing smoothie. Got a slice of Caramel cake to eat too but the slice was huge so only managed about half of it! Value for money and lovely seating area outside.

Nice spot for coffee and sandwiches . Also dog friendly with beautiful view of merchant city’s mural . Only negative one of the table was broken but it wasn’t their fault.

I attended a meeting in the room upstairs and was looking forward to lunch but unfortunately after I put in my order discovered it was card only. I did not have a card with me and even if I did, on principal, I would not have used it as we are all heading to a cashless society of total control. I then had to leave to find food elsewhere. Will never be back and hopefully the person in charge of the meeting will find another more friendly venue.

Great and cosy atmosphere lovely staff that make you feel very welcome. Wifi acess upstair . 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

a great wee cafe to sit and study and service is so quick, friendly staff and really good coffee and selection of food too! :)

Love this iCafe! The food and coffee are very decent and affordable. Great service and big venue with plenty of tables and booths. This is a great place if you want to study or get some work done, order a big coffee, some cake and have some hot food when you're hungry.

Great place and a great meeting room which we hired for the afternoon, all kitted out with white board, screen, stationery etc.. staff were great as was the food, will definitely go again thank you

The icafe offers not only cafe facilities in the front on two floors. They have also a wee conference room on the top floor. The cafe is very popular with students.

Service was great and polite. The hot chocolate was good
