Ottoman Coffeehouse in Glasgow City

We have wanted to visit here for ages, and we were not disappointed. Beautiful surroundings, relaxed atmosphere, prompt service and oh my the coffee!

Of the beaten track but well worth a visit , very unique place service was excellent.

My friend and I came in for a coffee and something to eat and was very impressed by the vibe of the place and decoration. The girl who served us was really pleasant so I asked for her name to give her a good review (Aria). She was always smiling and had a great attitude towards customers. Anyone who comes here I’m sure will have a great experience.

A friend brought me here for my birthday brunch and it was a wonderful experience! The atmosphere was cosy, our server was friendly and helpful, and our food was delicious! I had a mocha to start and the chicken shawarma salad. Yum! We shared the peshwari naan, which tbf wasn't my favourite, but still good :) We ate and chatted at a leisurely pace and it was the best feeling, not getting the sense that we ought to go and free up our table. I'd love to come back! Thank you all for such a great experience on my birthday.

The food at this restaurant is nothing short of spectacular, a true feast for the senses. Every dish is meticulously prepared, showcasing a perfect balance of flavors, textures, and presentation. The freshness of the ingredients is evident in every bite, and the creativity of the menu ensures there’s something to delight every palate. Whether it’s a hearty main course, a delicate appetizer, or a decadent dessert, each plate is a masterpiece that reflects the chef’s dedication to excellence. The flavors are bold yet harmonious, leaving you savoring each moment and eagerly anticipating the next. Dining here is not just a meal; it’s an unforgettable culinary experience.

Entorno peculiar e interesante. Personal amable que se interesa en cómo le gusta su café y luego entrega la mercancía. Gran variedad de bebidas, incluido el tradicional sahlep turco. Un montón de alimentos salados y pasteles muy tentadores. Me encantó el pastel de queso de Nueva York.

Second visit to this place, its outstanding in every way, like walking into a 1950s chilled living room, great ambience, every coffee/ tea you can imagine, the food is so tasty, full of flavour and perfect portion sizes. We wanted to try everything 🤣 definitely will be back to do that. Lovely friendly vive, staff are lovely, very very busy. You can't book it although we didn't have to wait long and absolutely worth any wait 👌🙏

My friend introduced me to Ottoman Coffeehouse today and I was blown away by the atmosphere, food and quick, friendly service! 100% one of my new favourites in Glasgow.

Very nice and calm. The music was lovely and the service was excellent. Coffee as well

Staff were so helpful and friendly! Atmosphere and interior is so warm and chic, food was well spiced and delicious

Chai latte is top tier! So good, I ordered it twice

¡Extremadamente decepcionado! Estábamos súper emocionados de intentarlo como vimos en Reels, Tik Tok e Insta. El lugar es estéticamente agradable - turco. Sin embargo, esperó 15 minutos a que el personal llegara a la entrada para ser recibido, y mucho menos sentado. Finalmente, sentado, sin menús sobre la mesa, tenía que preguntar. Nos proporcionaron un menú para cuatro personas. Algunos artículos no estaban disponibles. Llegó el café turco, no hay agua separada con él (como era de esperar con el café turco) y no se sirve ninguna delicia turca. Luego llegaron los otros cafés (fríos) - Moca era demasiado amargo sin sabor a chocolate en absoluto. El personal deambula constantemente a su alrededor y se inclina para recoger platos en su mesa, ya que algunos de nosotros todavía estamos comiendo / bebiendo. El personal se equivocó de orden y se olvidó de traer la orden, tuvo que preguntar. Las mesas no se limpiaban cuando la gente se iba, solo se limpiaban. Los baños eran asquerosos. No es la experiencia que esperábamos, no es una experiencia turca.

Fantastic!! What a find!! Seriously cosy coffee house serving very tasty treats and a fabulous range of coffee & chai. Highly recommend.

Been once before, rather enjoyed it. Decided to take my family on a Sunday afternoon, but were told no tables were available. We were told to wait in the front foyer if we wanted to, so we occupied a few of the seats (not around a table) by the front door. After 5-10 mins, the server reappeared to ask if we were ready to order. Slightly confused, we said we'd like to wait for a table, but were told that the seats we were waiting in were for customers only. I asked if we were being told to stand and wait, and he replied yes, we need to stand, even although there were 10+ empty seats in the foyer. He then turned his back on us and walked off, so we left, slightly confused as to what just happened. Not hurrying back

A unique café/restaurant. You must visit.

Lovely place very lovely food cakes traditional drinks and very comfy seating service excellent and feel well taken care of. Can be very busy any day of the week especially at lunch time so if large group please book. Prices reasobable for portion size. Family friendly. No pets allowed. Not wheelchair friendly as up a set of stairs.

We had coffee and baklava here. The cafe was busy with families, students and people of all ages. The interior decor is wonderful. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly and the staff were helpful and attentive. The coffee was great and the baklava...wow! Had planned to take some home, but couldn't resist polishing it all off! The aromas coming from the kitchen were delicious - will definitely come back for a meal. The only issue was the step access into the cafe and the downstairs toilets - difficult for my elderly Dad to negotiate.

Deliciosa comida y un entorno encantador. Muy relajante. El personal era amable y atento. Teníamos una selección de pakora y algunos pasteles encantadores.

The place is nice. Not so much food choice and ordering via qr code doesn't work or is glitchy. Eating a full meal on a sofa is not a great dining experience as you have to hold plate or bend to be able to consume it safely. I couldn't order online and the waiter took the order from me. I tried to order dessert on the phone again but gave up and left. The staff was polite and very efficient at cleaning the table and I felt it was to free up tables.I felt it was about quick turnover and half service. It is a lovely place, just not sure if it is a caffe or restaurant and a bit hipster, but that might not be a bad thing if it is your thing.

Buzzing atmosphere with a great interior design. Coffee was amazing - incredibly smooth with a wide variety of types.

What a fantastic place, one of my favourites for sure 🫶🏼 the food is always banging (love the pakora especially) the coffee is consistently on point, but the thing that really makes this place is the staff. The guys are so lovely and accommodating, they really make you feel at home. Cannot recommend Ottomans enough ❤️

I dont know how many times we must have walked past this place without noticing it was there. Glad we dropped in. Very relaxed atmosphere with eclectic decor. Wonderful coffee (The Turk) & White Chocolate Mocha. Baklava, and Turkish Delight were wonderful.

I had the lamb rib biryani, and chicken it was 10/10 prices were quite decent

Best Coffee I have tasted in awhile! Highly recommend Ottoman Coffeehouse

Great coffee and service. The best coffee in Glasgow the flat whites are excellent.

We have been meaning to stop in here for ages. We were out for dinner nearby and finally had a good opportunity to drop in just before these guys were about to shut. The coffee, service and atmosphere were just great, there is a reason this place has such a good reputation and we will definitely be back, maybe for something to eat next time. The baklava was great best we have had in Glasgow! Cheers guys

Classically decorated comfy interior with good cappuccinos, pastries and friendly service. Definitely want to come back again soon.

I might need to move closer. I always make sure to explore new areas during MOT days (to make lemonade, as they say!) The delicious coffee and almond croissant were amazing, and the staff is attentive and super nice. Definitely softened the blow when I received the call from the garage. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

One of the best places (if not the best!) for coffee & food in Glasgow. Chicken kebab and salad bowl superb! Coffee, cakes and service always great.

Visito a los otomanos regularmente. La decoración, el café y el personal hacen que sea un gran lugar para ir y relajarse durante una hora. La comida es genial también. Muy recomendable!

Wonderful and beautiful atmosphere

I think we are in love! A beautiful space with lovely, quirky decor. The best coffee we've had during our trip around Scotland. Delicious and fresh Oriental food. I think I might have to come back to Glasgow for the Cheesy chips with chicken shawarma 😋 Thank you to the lovely staff!

Nice atmosphere and coffee, although we found £4.5 for the Turkish coffee quite expensive.

Great staff, cakes and surroundings

Amazing atmosphere friendly staff I'll be back.

Saw this place suggested on Reddit as the best coffee place in Glasgow. There was a queue for sit in and take away which was surprising. The coffee experience is amazing. Had my first Cruffin. Also the first time I've had Coffee and a Kebab. Decor, service and ambiance were all top notch. Will definitely go again.

We had a lovely experience here this afternoon: great coffee, yummy cake, warm, friendly staff. However the ladies' toilets were appalling: wet surfaces and wet floor; one toilet door would not shut at all. Also, in terms of safety: at the bottom of the stairs the screws and fixings of a handrail are loose - which would endanger (rather than support) anyone with mobility issues.

A gem in the west of Glasgow. Beautiful decor and wonderful food. Quality in everything we order. We will return for sure.

was recommended this spot by a mate, best coffee i've had in glasgow and the food was banging too. such a lovely looking spot too and the staff are really sound.

Interior and the vibe of this place is amazing, you go inside and you’re like “woahh” The vegan cake with biscoff was one of the best cakes I’ve eaten and matcha is made in a traditional way which is the only way to get good matcha. Totally recommend!

Beautiful decor and amazing pastries. I had the almond croissant which had tons of almond paste and paired it with the pistachio latte, I highly recommend both if you go. Great place to sit and chat, read a book, or do some studying.

We came across this because we were looking to make a stop on the journey from Edinburgh to Ayrshire and wow, what a find! Incredible atmosphere, sublime coffee and amazing pastries. A beautiful space with a bit of a curiosity shop vibe and themed around the ottoman empire. Obviously they take their coffee super seriously, partnering with some of the best Scottish roasters to deliver something pretty close to the perfect flat white. The pastries as well were incredible - a mix of croissants and baklava. Delicious and filling. Staff were super friendly and helpful, we had a baby with us and they could not have been more accommodating. The larger meals also looked great. Will definitely be back!

Dropped in for a coffee and pastry. What a delightful place it is. Its unassuming frontage hides the amazing interior with its wonderful decor and a wide range of types of seating. Totally relaxed venue to enjoy a coffee or tea from their wide selection and excellent range of cakes and pastries. The cappuccino was the best I’ve had for a long time. On my next visit I will be more adventurous in my choice of coffee. Looking forward to my next visit.

Visited today for the first time. Absolutely beautiful inside, the surroundings are just not what you expect from the outside which seems to want to keep the interior a secret. And the food is out of this world, with the best prices for a plateful of food that tastes just amazing. I was too full for a cake, but what they have on offer means I'll just have to come back for coffee and cake. The rose sounds interesting........

Excellent start to finish. The waiter was super helpful explaining the coffees and gave us a tester. The cakes were excellent and the rose coffee was unreal would definitely get it again

loved everything about this place - the coffee, the food, the vibe 💯 Abu Bakr came through with that iced V60 fix 🤌🏽 definitely added to the top of my list for cafes in glasgow

Quite big but still offers a cozy atmosphere. Coffee is not cheap, but it's no less than amazing. We went there on a rainy day and it gave us a good break that refilled our energy. The quality is 11/10, and they offer a good variety for all tastes.

Fab Turkish coffee. Definitely not your average coffee house. So please to have this non generic cafe in my area, am so fed up with the branded coffee chains, same old, same old.

Great food and brilliant coffee

Delicious Turkish coffee and baklava. Warm and calm vibes. Love it!

Lovely ambience love the music great find and worth the walk out of centre. Only disappointment was I couldn't see the brilliant sundried tomato scone listed on Web link to order

I can safely say, this is the best coffee shop I’ve ever been too! I’ll be eagerly waiting for ottoman coffee house to expand & open up a London branch. 10/10

How lovely the people working here are !! Wonderful venue for a cafe -- everyone's playing games and socialising :) Although I only went for a drink I'll be returning for the food as it sounded amazing. I had a beetroot coconut FW and wow it was delish

Incredible. Amazing selection and everything is delicious. It's such a beautiful space too!

Very nice coffee ☕ house nice place to chill out

This is such a wonderfully decorated place! Every table is unique and still within the theme, my friends and I were struggling to decide just where to sit. Everywhere I looked I noticed something interesting, it was honestly wonderful. The food was really good as well. I tried a few of their things, with the pistachio latte being a highlight and the chicken shawarma coming in second! Though the online menu was quite a pain to use, there were too many dishes with no obvious way to search through them other than scroll through the whole thing. Still, it's a cafe I see myself revisiting.

Wonderful food, very comfy, and lovely decor. Had their rose iced latte - definitely recommend!

Lovely atmosphere and despite being busy staff and we were a large party, the staff were polite attentive and service was quick. Looking forward to going back soon.

One of the best iced latte in town i would say. Honestly. Fast service even on weekends and good baklavas! Worth every penny!

An incredible place that mixes East and West. The drinks are exceptional, spicy and spicy with fresh products. Huge choice in a unique atmosphere

World class coffee shop! The pistachio latte (made with pistachio paste, not syrup) was amazing!

The space had a vibrant atmosphere (very homely) and good customer service. They were out of cheesecakes so they offered to give one on-the-house the next day.

What a cosy gem of a place! It has a unique vintage interior and a relaxed atmosphere, perfect to chill in for a while. The coffee was delightful and the biscoff cruffin was delicious! The only slight downside was the fresh pastries/desserts selection was very slim in the late morning. Will definitely be back to try more things from the menu!

Wonderful coffee. They bring in great guest roaster coffees (sumo, square mile and assembly during my visit) and offer v60, syphon and chemex. Also try their cold brew. Delicious. Pastry was good. Big space and very comfortable.

Tasty food. Great little place. Relaxed. Got mixed shawarma.

Turkish coffee was perfect. Direct and to the point! Love the place. So relaxed and they have made it such a nice place to hang out 🌞😀

Very nice place totally different from usual cafe in Glasgow 👍

Second visit to the Ottoman coffee house. It was packed out on a Saturday lunchtime but we quickly got a seat. I had pakora and my friend had a handi, I had a cold coffee and she an afagato- I followed up with carrot cake (which is exceptional) . Great food and service aside, it’s the atmosphere and vibe of the place that stands out. It’s somehow both super chill and extremely high energy; with staff rushing around to serve people quickly and customers relaxing in a variety of chairs. They play an ambient soundtrack which is subtle but works. There is an astonishing range of choice on the menu even for a coffee snob like myself, and I look forward to returning to try something new. Ambience 10/10, service 10/10. Superb range of vegan options. In a city packed with coffee shops and curry houses, it remains one of a kind.

Visited last month for a late lunch, the place was busy but we were able to get a table quick. The decor is beautiful and theres lots to look at. The cafe has a lot of tables and small sofa areas, giving the place a cosy feel where you want to sit and enjoy. The menu has a good variety of food and drinks. We ordered the Hummas starter, Chips and cheese, Chicken shawarma and a Latte. Service was quick and everything was made with fresh ingredients. The staff are lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would recommend. Looking forward to trying desserts next time and iced drinks.

Absolutely stunning coffee house. So totally different you feel like you are in another world. I will be back here for sure!

Cosy atmosphere and friendly staff. Busy inside - but staff were accommodating and we enjoyed our food and traditional Turkish coffee

Our date at the Ottoman Coffeehouse in Glasgow was simply amazing. The place itself is beautiful, with a charming and cosy interior that sets a perfect mood. We ordered a sweetened matcha latte, a vanilla latte and a vegan cheesecake. Each item was extraordinary and bursting with flavours. The sweetened matcha latte was perfectly balanced, while the vanilla latte was rich and creamy. The vegan cheesecake was a delightful surprise and incredibly tasty. We were thrilled to find plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, along with an impressive range of coffee choices. The attention to detail in both the food and drinks is evident and much appreciated. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed and enjoyable date. Highly recommend the Ottoman Coffeehouse for anyone looking for great food, excellent coffee and a lovely ambience. Follow 'AV the Wanderlust' on Instagram. Cheers. :)

A fantastic little gem on the out skirts of City centre. Fantastic coffee with loads of variety of strength and flavour. “Healthy” snacks to die for, main food starts at 11am so don’t expect an early cooked food. Can’t find any fault with this place, a wonderful destination, up there with the best. The coffee was less than £3, but worth more. Xx

As a coffee enthusiast always on the look out for specialty & artisan coffee, right here at the Ottoman Coffee House is one of the best flat whites I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing. They use a Feama E71 espresso machine - an elite in the coffee shop espresso machine world. In addition, a great selection of filter brews and methods (have yet to try). Beautiful aesthetic inside of vintage ottoman mixed with classic British furniture - an overall vintage vibe of dark woods, leather and lamps. Recommendation: you have beautiful natural light that large tall palms and plants would sustain in such a space with your high ceiling. This will certainly add a finishing touch to this space.

A hidden gem in Glasgow's West End, that promotes meditation and relaxation in the busy city. This beautiful location offers an authentic atmosphere of a Eastern coffee house, with the decor and coffee options reflecting traditional Ottoman features. I had the Ibrik which is brewed the same way it has been since 1554, its concentrated taset is strong yet smooth and sits with you for some time, very much worth trying. I also had the Americano which was also presented very nicely and tasted amazing. Fantastic venue to sit and read, chat, or play chess over a cup of great coffee.

I drank a nutty pistachio coffee and a deliciously savory onion and cheddar muffin. Cozy ambiance and friendly staff make it a must-visit.

I dropped in here for lunch after a friend recommended it. The best coffee in Glasgow hands down. We had hummus to start and I had a chicken kebab dish to follow. I had the pistachio coffee made with soya milk. It worked out about £20 per person. Worth every penny. Service is great and ordering in the App is also easy. 100% you should go here it is a beautiful place.

An amazing place, great vibe and products. The only small downside is the ordering website that was a bit fiddly for both me and my partner. Even though it's worth persisting as it's a great place!

Found Ottoman Coffeehouse quite by accident. Very good coffee, we had already eaten sadly. Very friendly staff and great service.

One of the best coffee and food venues in Glasgow if not Scotland. Quality 👍

We found this place almost by accident trying to walk through Anderson and we're so happy that we found it as it is a true gem of Glasgow. Make sure you have a dessert and also try the naan in hummus. Probably the best latte I've ever had.

Probably the best coffee place in GLASGOW. Super friendly staff! Delicious dessert Serving v60 and chemex speciality coffee

Pretty unique place and unique menu too. Well worth visiting for a drink and cake or more.

Wonderful space to drink a super coffee. We tried 2 different types and both were very good. Lots of coffee choice. Will need to return to try the food...

I've visited Ottoman twice, but only because I don't live nearby... otherwise I'd be a regular!! The staff are so lovely and attentive, and the food is so beautiful and flavorful~ the cakes and hot chocolate are delicious from my experience, and I had the pakora biryani with chickpea sauce as a side (pictured) and was so delighted!! Truly the best lunch I've ever had 🤤 The interior is gorgeous too, with lovely music and perfect ambiance. I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in Glasgow!!

We’d heard good things about this Coffeehouse, both on social media and through word of mouth, so decided to give it a go. First and foremost, plan ahead for your parking and ensure you read the parking limitations carefully. We seen a few ticketed cars. This business prides itself on bridging the Ottoman past and present, touching on nostalgia to provide a café as well as a safe haven, for those who simply want to come and chill. This was evident as there was a big student contingency who appeared to be using it as a study place (the University of Glasgow and the Glasgow School of Art are both nearby). From a vast menu, my wife and I opted for a Mocha and White Coffee respectively, Mushroom Pakora (to share), Hummus / Pitta Bread (to share) and two portions of Traybake. All of it was faultless but the real winner, mutually agreed, was the Hummus / Pitta Bread - the smoothest and tastiest Hummus I’ve ever experienced with soft, warm homemade Pitta Bread. Could easily have ordered one each! Our bill, including a tip, was around the £30 mark which was on par with the prices within the west end area. The service was great - limited delays given how busy the place was and friendly staff. My only criticism was the queueing system at the door - a little bit of communication would have let people know what the situation was. Felt like we were bypassed by staff a few times without any indication on table availability / timings. Taking everything into consideration however, this was a five star experience and one I’ve already passed on, to ensure the publicity through word of mouth continues!

An amazing coffeshop, absolutely stunning inside. The Turkish coffee is smooth and delicious.

The serve speciality coffee, many beans options and way of preparing it.

Absolutely stunning place. Cortado was delicious, the taste of coffee was ideal and amazing. The caffe is really cozy and authentic. Staff was kind and friendly. Unfortunately the variety of desserts was a little bit poor, but everything else was nice.

Great place, excellent quality of bakes and reasonable prices. Love the atmosphere, will revisit when I return to Glasgow.

Popped in for coffee and cake as it was near our hotel. WOW, what an unexpected treat. Coffee was amazing and the setting beautiful. Will definitely go back.

We only had cake to go with coffee and tea of which they have a large selection. The service can be a bit slow but this is in keeping with the relaxed atmosphere. Very comfortable and classy Ottoman- style decor.

Great place and very friendly staff.

On my word! One of Glasgow’s hidden gems!

Amazing food and drink, in an interesting and atmospheric setting. Particularly recommend iced pistachio latte.

Busy place, stopped on my way to Glasgow city centre for a coffee. Pistachio Latte was good, I would prefer it to be a little bit stronger. Like the way they have set up this place.

Lovely place, lovely staff, and amazing coffee!

People are super nice 🥹 thank you <3 food is great.

As long as you don't mind a little more expensive place, I got great service, fantastic quality food (get the cinnamon roll!), and the cutest atmosphere!!

These guys love food, service is friendly and staff go out their way to make dining there a complete experience,
