A nice wee place that is also a social enterprise and equal-opportunity employer. Handy for the High Court, and service is reasonably quick. Portions were slightly small but prices were reasonable. Soup and New York deli sandwich were good. Coffee could be better.

Lovely cafe with yummy food, a bright space and a team with an important mission to help people in need, with learning disabilities or suffering from social isolation.

Upon arriving after an overnight coach trip I was greeted with a very warm welcome. The chap serving me was an excellent host and the food and coffee were delicious. Upon leaving we spoke about myself and my travels as the chap seemed very interested. Couldn't of asked for a better experience just after arriving in glasgow for the very first time. 5* will definitely revisit if I'm ever in the area again. Thank you again gentleman, I'm terribly sorry I do not remember your name.

Very good food, friendly staff. Good for the community too

This place has a great concept with their pay it forward approach. Your donations/gratuities go towards customers who are less able to pay for their own meals. The food is very cheap, tastes good, but is very "no frills" - no fluff, no big sides, just small portions of whatever you order.

Nice place to go for a coffee and the New York sandwich was great. You don't feel rushed which is a good thing. Only bad point was the lentil soup which seemed watered down. There was a large group of us so we think they may have not have had enough soup and added water to make it spread but in doing so ruined the taste. Better just to say you have no lentil soup and offer an alternative.

Incredible little secret Glasgow has in this little gem. Stunning café, incredible food (made with love and would recommend the Ploughman's) and amazing staff that cannot do enough for you. This is an employability and community charity project, so also has a Pay It Forward option as well.

Had a wee spot of lunch in here today, good sandwiches and soup. Very fairly priced, and the service was great, they also went out of their way to ensure there were no issues with our specific dietary requirements.
Great ethos with respect to social enterprise and paying it forward.

A fantastic not for profit community enterprise and cosy but classy cafe. Food was was of a high standard and all home cooked. I would have paid much more than was charged for the quality of the food. There is an option to pay in front which means you can leave a donation to pay for someone else to eat.

Staff were busy but friendly. Food was good. There is a pay forward scheme to allow you to leave cash so the homeless can get a meal/hot drink paid for from the kitty. I loved it and will be back. Wheelchair accessible.
