S'Mug Cafe Bar in Glasgow City

service and staff attitude is poor at best. not a smile, not a welcoming word, not a thank you, not even looking at you in the eye. Coffee is expensive (£2.5 for an espresso) but tastes good space is small and noisy, but clean.

Called in on saturday afternoon busy but still had time to look after us with large cups of freshly ground coffee and freshly made tuna melt and swiss bagel with lovely sides .As dog owners we were warmly welcomed and our little dog was given treats and water . It made my day . (O u r dog is small. If y our dog is large may be a problem as cafe is small though thereis an outside eating area but again bijoux) Thank you

Dropped in for coffee and cakes of a Saturday afternoon. Sat outside in the sun and ordered at the counter inside. Lovely service and very good coffee and cakes. Also ordered Cheese and Ham toast which was also very good.

He estado en S'mug algunas veces ahora. Normalmente salgo a tomar un café y un bagel para el desayuno. Siendo vegetariano, me sorprendió gratamente las diferentes opciones que tiene este lugar. A menudo tengo el queso crema vegano en un bagel tostado con un corte de leche de avena, ¡es uno de los quesos crema veganos más sabrosos que he probado! Recomendaría este lugar para vegetarianos o veganos, tiene excelentes opciones disponibles, una ubicación conveniente, y el personal siempre es amable y servicial.

Esta es una encantadora cafetería amigable en glasgows west end. la señorita era amable e hizo un gran café con leche extra a un precio razonable. Recomendaria este lugar

Popped in for a quick lunch. Got a bagel with hummus and veg. Took around 15 minutes to make it to my table (infact the 2 people with me who were having meat fillings got theirs first despite ordering after me) and the waitress brought out my vegan bagel with egg mayo slaw on the side of the plate after saying “vegan hummus and veg bagel?” So totally clueless there. Asked her to remove it which she took it back and took the side of crisps off when I asked if they were vegan she said yes and went and got them again. I was there with 2 friends who had meat, fish and cheese fillings in their bagels and we were all charged the same price for the bagels which is ridiculous as some hummus and veg doesn’t cost the same as cream cheese and salmon or pork slices and cheese. So very over priced if you’re vegan, you also don’t get the two sides (slaw and crisps) with it either with no discount. I wouldn’t bother going again staff don’t seem to understand what that vegan means and the company charges a flat rate instead of by content price.

There's a lot of coffee shops in the Byres road area. S'mug is my favourite. Great coffee, pleasant staff. Excellent wifi and what an 80s soundtrack they play! Just a very warm, vibrant atmosphere.

Favorite place by the people working in the close university for a good reason: good coffee and selection of tea and infusions, tasty cakes and bagels. Free wi-fi.

Me gusta viajes periódicos a los fines para los defensores incondicionales de café y cruasanes deliciosos. Los asientos y la decoración no es lo mejor. Creo que estas mejoras para atraer ayuda a una mayor clientela. Que parecen ser un estudiante y hotspot empresario! Sin embargo, popular entre las parejas. El personal es educado y proporcionar servicio rápido.

Un rico cafesito por la tarde para recuperar fuerzas lo acompañamos con unos ricos cupcakes, buena atencion moderno ambiente y buen precio.

They have a special for £2 takeway drinks for those who show a student ID. They're always friendly and nice, and have a frequent visitor punch card scheme, so you can earn a free coffee every once in a while. They're white hot chocolate is heavenly! Their food is delicious but vastly overpriced. But the drinks aren't too bad, and I love that they have a large selection of non-caffeinated hot drinks, as well as plenty of different types of coffee and tea! I'd definitely recommend it!

Staff have nothing better to do than chastise me for eating outside food (eating a bit of cake given to me) even though I've ordered coffee & am a regular customer who always buys food & drink. Also not allowed to have a take away coffee inside, even though a guy sitting next to me is doing exactly that. I'm a paying customer & don't have to put up with this crap in other local coffee shops. I wont be going back, ever.

Amazing coffee, at such a good price too. Such lovely staff and a friendly, cosy atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend the bagels

Popped in for a snack before going to the cinema, great staff and quick cheap eats. A little bit cramped for me and I'm afraid the cheese and tomato toastie was a bit disappointing as the cheese did not have any taste. Would go back though as staff and coffee excellent.

Yet another lovely interdependent coffee house just located off Byres Road (a stones throw from Hillhead underground station. Really good selection of coffee and tea to select from, and a great selection of food to choose (if going for a breakfast/brunch their bagels with cream cheese are brilliant). Staff are really friendly and will help you with your order no problem.

I've been to smug many many times! Staff are friendly and the coffee is very good. The turkey, bacon and brie bagel is delicious.

The best London fog I have ever had. My friends and I enjoyed hanging out here before class. Food was decent as well.

Had the Lentil Soup which was good to warm me up on another rainy day. The cafe did not have a lot of people in it but it looked like you could come in for a coffee and spend the day on your PC or Tablet without getting disturbed. There was a good choice of bagels but not a good choice of scones or cakes. The staff were efficient and friendly. They also have tables outside where you could sit when the sun shines. Maybe I picked the wrong day. At least you do not get hurried out the door as soon as you have finished your food which often happens on Byres Rd cafes.

lacking atmosphere, coffee isn't great, expensive, bad food. (dirty floor and crammed) Do not recommend

Was visiting a construction site across the road and spotted this wee gem on the corner. Good coffee and very friendly reception, the cheesecake blueberry muffin was delicious too, especially as I had been up since 0500. Certainly would go back.

Lovely place. Only had a cup of tea, but it was lovely. Fancied a bagel, but the sight of streaky bacon consisting of mostly fat with very little meat, and not crispy, was very off-putting. Nice choice of bagels, paninis and toasties.

This cafe is very cozy and lovely. It's nice to sit here not only for a five minutes. Maybe music could be a little quiter. What I liked the most, is that they give huge mugs of Americano.

I meet people here for coffee or lunch all the time. Informal, right by the University/subway/Ashton Lane and a good selection of drinks/food.

Great coffee, brilliant atmosphere, very friendly, happy staff. Will definitely be back. Would highly recommend this coffee bar.

I'm studying abroad in Glasgow this semester and S'mug is just down the road from me. I absolutely love it there and often go to study. The coffee is great and served in generous portions, and all of the food/sweets I've had have also been wonderful. The staff is caring and I always feel welcome. The service is excellent and quick. The one time they forgot to bring out my drink, they gave me a large + a card for a free drink next time. Comfortable seating and fast wifi. Could not recommend higher.

Try to avoid the main coffee shops but my main complaint about individual places is the portions are tiny in comparison - not here!! Had a lovely (decent sized!) cappuccino here last week - not a lot of seating but didn't feel crowded. Think we need to go back and try the cakes next time!!

friendly little café with great coffee and tasty filled bagels. service was prompt, friendly and food was good value for money

Great wee cafe tucked away off Byres road which sells the best lentil soup you can get . Good coffee tea etc with good friendly service .

I pass by S'Mug almost daily on my way to work, and one thing that I love about it is their coffee. At first glance, the prices seem normal, compared to other cafes in the area. But the thing about S'Mug is that their sizes are bigger - my impression is that a "small" coffee at S'Mug would be considered "medium" in most other Glasgow West-End cafes. And it's very good coffee too - so great value for money. They have a large menu, so there is a lot of choice as to drinks. As for food, they have good toasties and good croissants, but I wasn't too impressed with their sandwiches. So I'd say it's an ideal place for a coffee and something sweet, but less so for lunch. Overall though, S'Mug is a lovely cafe.

I popped in one early evening - I like to support the local option (rather than a big name chain) where I can. There was one young man working there. In terms of speed, he seemed to be doing the best that he could - but it was slow service. The "sorry for delay" that came with my simple food request was probably the most insincere version I've heard - or maybe he realized that it wasn't good enough to say sorry. It wasn't really busy but he seemed to struggle a bit and never smiled once to any customer - under too much pressure, bad day or in the wrong job. The food was OK (my order was not complicated) and as I finished it I wondered why I'd bothered going there. No atmosphere, nothing great to offer and poor service. Nothing to be s'mug about. My experience was quite different to the that of the other reviewer - so maybe I was unlucky. Still, probably Starbucks next time.

Great wee gem in the heart of the west end - the perfect place to head when you're wanting to get inside from the cold. Nice selection of food, great range of coffee choices and welcoming staff make this a west end favourite.
