Went on a Sunday with my neice . Didni't fancy the busy cafe with lots of children. But the food was very fancy and the staff excellent. I'd say go on a quieter day.
After an absolutely knackering day at the salt mines, it was a delight to have the prospect of fine food in fine company to fill the evening hours. The fine company came from regular guest questers Tracey and Susie, who’d recently joined at The Riparian Rooms. The fine food was the concern of the Kelvingrove Cafe on Argyle Street.
I saved the ‘crispy mac’ slider until the end and I was glad that I did! Consisting of a breadcrumbed, three cheese macaroni patty and relish on a mini brioche, this was my favourite of the three! This mac & cheese was gooey, cheesy, not overly-heavy and the breadcrumb coating was extremely light and crunchy. It was finished with a tomato and spring onion relish, which I didn’t expect to work as well as it did. The relish provided a nice tang which cut through the cheesiness and really lifted the flavour.
Not the cheapest of places but well worth it. The cocktails here are the main draw, a huge selection on the book and staff who know what they are doing to tailor one to your likes.
Very laid back atmosphere, good music and friendly staff.
Disguised as a newsagent's office, the Kelvingrove Cafe attempts to imitate a prohibition speakeasy. Not the best disguised I would say, but the ambience is certainly great. I have not tried the food here, but the menu seems to have a few options available. The cocktails and wine list, both are satisfactory, overall a great experience.
Went here for brunch for the first time a couple of weeks ago, mainly due to the location and reading other reviews. It was fantastic! The menu and food quality was excellent and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The place has a lovely relaxing, cosy atmosphere with real fire and they serve the best coffee I've had in Glasgow. Looking forward to visiting again..
Loved it! I had the delicious French toast for brunch and black coffee. Both were amazing!
Staff are very friendly and sweet as well!
The whole vibe was rustic and overall cosy and welcoming. Definitely coming back for more!
This is a really good place to drink, the atmosphere is marvelous, the staff is not only friendly but also patient, even if the language is not very fluent when I order and the staff is not impatient. It was a pity that I could not taste the Death of the Afternoon and BloodyMary this time because some of the base wine and tomato juice in the store were exhausted and not replenished. Finally, I ordered a Negroni, after all, I like drinks that make people easily drunk. The quality of this Negroni is quite high, and I was full of strength after drinking it. I'll definitely be coming back here more often.
Had been here a few years ago so decided to pay another visit on a Saturday afternoon.
Not as good as we remembered it. Probably we were in early afternoon rather than later in evening.
Pints were some of more expensive on street with a pint of Coors Molson's Madri at £6.
Sorry to see the Chieftain IPA off the menu since my last visit.
Service efficient without being friendly.
Very middle class clientele.
Visited on a Sunday evening and it was surprisingly busy. Helpful staff found a table inside for us quite quickly after we sat outside for a short time. The pizza I had was delicious, with a particularly good base. Nice vibe inside, too.
Had a really good lunch here! The chicken orzo soup was just a heartwarming dish 🥰
I really enjoyed my evening in Kelvingrove café. The staff was very friendly and the cocktails (with and without alcohol) were great. We (my sister, my father and I) originally just wanted to stay for a few drinks. But then we ordered some snacks and decided to stay: DELICIOUS olives, the oysters are fresh and great, the fries and the tartar are also excellent.
We were pleasantly surprised and would definitely recommend this place!
First time in KELVINGROVE CAFE , prior to a dinner in THE OX and FINCH with friends. Finnieston is still rocking, place was packed, table service was pronto. No issues.
Firstly would like to say Matthew was a fantastic server - very hospitable, very welcoming, fantastic drinks recommendations. Would have given 5 stars if it weren’t for Sam who then took over serving and was incredibly rude, abrupt, and very keen to usher us out despite having >45 minutes until they needed the table back. Sam made us feel thoroughly unwelcome and honestly upset. We only wish we could have had Matthew serving us all night - we’d have stayed far longer and spent far more !!!!
i was in glasgow for one night and came into this cafe with some friends. the staff were very friendly, and the atmosphere was warm but also classy. would definitely come back again!
Great choice of cocktails and other drinks but very noisy. Booked a table as we know it's popular but wouldn't have got in otherwise!
What a lovely find rite on main road in Argle St,
With its Cuban decor great staff
Warm inviting atmosphere not to mention most enjoyable drinks 😉 (pitty no draft mixers)
Unfortunately we never got to taste anything on the menu we will go back for that !!
BARRY the owner very friendly welcoming and hospitable
Great place for date nite or just a couples ,friends catch up
We happened upon this wee spot on a recent trip... And are so glad we did! Service was friendly and efficient, the food was exceptional and the interior is just lovely. Best coffee I've had in a long time and the pastry to finish was perfect. We will definitely be back, highly recommend!
Very interesting lunch menu items, served by amazing wait staff. Great place to spend the afternoon. Very comfortable, high marks.
Gorgeous little place with an open fire, booths, natural light and banging brunch. Get the beef dripping hash browns which are on another level. The staff are lovely, incredibly friendly and accommodating and they’re part of the reason we’ll be back again soon.
