    Super cute lil place. Came here for lunch with a friend. We ordered soup and a vegan tuna sandwich. Unfortunately the soup machine was broken and they offered us anything else for the same price as the soup, so we just opted for the sandwich (which was absolutely delish). I did find the service a bit slow though. The place was empty other than one other table of 1 and a table of two which came in after us - who were served, and had paid the bill before we were served our sandwiches. I also found the menu to be slightly overpriced for a simple lunchy menu, but still happy to pay. The waitress was lovely regardless and the interior is so cute and cosy. Will come back and hopefully next time the soup machine is working 😋☺️

    Vegetarians! The menu on the website is not the current menu. Not sure if it has changed hands but now it is a cafe which doesn’t do hot food and there were no vegetarian sandwiches. We came here hoping for a yummy vegetarian meal but weren’t successful:(

    Pretty little cafe and nice staff but unfortunately my soup still had an undesolved stock cube in it. I chose to sit in but was very disappointed to see that my soup still came in a disposable container with disposable knives and forks and even the butter for the bread came in a disposable container! What a waste! I'd expect a veggie/vegan cafe to have a lot more consideration for the the environment!

    New and lovely Greek coffee place. You can enjoy friendly service , good coffee and milshakes, some food likw traditional fillo pastry with different fillings and fresh sandwitches too. You will leave feeling loke you have been in a Greek tavern .. walls are galery space with some good local artist to enjoy.

    Came here a while ago and was a rather weird vibe. No one sat us nor did anyone come take our order or tell us to order at the till. Felt uncomfortable regarding we were one of the only people there

    Delighted about this cozy and lovely decorated cafe in the heart of Finnieston. All vegan home made food super yummy. Dog friendly and zero wasters! Great artwork in the walls too. Coffee is made with love too. Very important.

    When I saw vegan Black pudding I was cautiously optimistic, had no idea what it'd be like. But it was fantastic! Had the old Clyde sandwich and would definitely recommend. Friendly staff and the coffee was excellent too.

    We discovered the Cran about 6 months ago and LOVED it; those big burritos with all the trimmings, ooft, they were the best. Phoned in a (Burrito) order to collect last weekend, went to collect and if was poor. Very small and totally different to the original ones (no rice and the guac, sour cream, salsa etc were separate in plastic tubs.) A small wrap and 2 small turmeric lattes came to about £23 (I could be a bit off but it was over priced) Very disappointed to say I won't be back since the 'new owners' changed things...

    Recently changed ownership - the menu on the website is not the current menu. We visited based on previous reviews that said it was good for vegetarians but this is no longer the case.

    Super cozy relaxed vibe in here. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. It was my first lunch I had in Scotland and highly recommend it.. I had the chai latte and the green sandwich. The latte was better than most I've had in NYC and the sandwich was fresh. Highly recommend this place.

    Delicious, good value, attention to detail and friendly service. Stopped in for lunch and coffee, both were delicious and good portions. Nice decor and nice background music.

    Best eatery in Glasgow that I found for a coffee and a Light meal. Can’t wait to return.

  • 5/5 Emma C. 6 years ago on Google
    The Cran is such A lovely chilled place to be, my 20 month old daughter thinks so too! There were toys for her to play with while she ate her toast and I enjoyed my coffee and amazing vegan cinnamon bun. The staff were just lovely and friendly too. We will 100% definitely be back.

  • 4/5 Haroon L. 6 years ago on Google
    Food was very tasty, sourced from various local suppliers, very fresh and good variety of deserts which were equally good. Only down side was the cappuccino which was slightly on the sour side, but otherwise very good overall.

  • 5/5 Paul C. 6 years ago on Google
    Really good coffee, great vibes and most important they have outstanding carrot cake.

  • 5/5 Hamza M. 6 years ago on Google

    Special place in finnieston. Great vibe and a selection of treats for vegans and veggies alike.

  • 4/5 Jb J. 6 years ago on Google
    Decor is quirky and interesting and the overall feel is very cosy and pleasant. Service is friendly and quick. The veggie burrito is pretty nice although could use a touch more flavour (lemon, fresh herbs?) and a lot more spice. Definitely worth a visit.

  • 3/5 zouglas7 5 years ago on Google
    Vegetarians may like it a lot. Although not a vegetarian i enjoyed having lunch there. Foods were tasty but I would say a bit expensive for this type..

  • 5/5 Ananya S. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is amazing!!! In love with everything about this including the ambience, the staff were so nice to talk to and very very kind and the food. Being vegetarian I really loved the menu and even my non-vegetarian friends loved it. Will go again, and you should too :))

    Most amazing place in Finnieston for coffee, cake and sweet treats. The owner and staff are the loveliest people, so kind hearted and welcome of everyone. If you are looking for a creative and cozy place with delicious vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options this is the place for you!

  • 5/5 Jasmin S. 1 year ago on Google
    A very nice little cute café, which is new here. A very warm atmosphere with a mix of gallery and vintage. Nice music and very quiet. Coffee is also very tasty. Staff are accommodating and euphoric. My friend and I love it! There are also many beautiful extraordinary pictures of the owner on the wall.

    Very nice staff, really cute wee place and good food. The only thing I think it can go better is more variety in the menu for lunch. Will repeat thought!

  • 5/5 Amanda T. 1 year ago on Google
    We were looking for a breakfast spot and even though they hadn’t actually opened we were offered coffee and cake by the super friendly chef. Delicious toasted tea cake, good coffee and tasty tea. Thanks!

  • 4/5 Kirsty M. 5 years ago on Google
    Great food! I wish they’d go 100% plastic free though, composible plastic is still plastic. I choose to eat in and everything was still disposable - the knives and forks and even the soup container.

  • 4/5 Cindy C. 5 years ago on Google
    Lovely, cozy place to enjoy a hot drink and some good wholesome food, but also to do some work. Kind staff and warm environment. The only thing is that the menu items are a bit pricey.

  • 4/5 Peter M. 5 years ago on Google
    Great place. Like a living archaeological dig of Glasgow - the walls are stripped back to reveal the history of the various lives of the building. Plus good coffee and great vegan breakfast rolls AND pastries!

  • 1/5 Frank B. 4 years ago on Google
    Facebook page says they open at 8. Google says they open at 8:30. It’s 8:35 and it’s all shuttered. Maybe closed for good?

    Way too expensive for a tiny sandwich! Payed £11 at Lunchtime for 2 cheese sandwich and they didn’t give us the sides. Only cheese in that mini sandwich....

  • 3/5 Keren P. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Engel neighborhood is pleasant and friendly. The pub is pleasant for a beer. Pleasant crowd and friendly atmosphere (Original) שכונת אנגל נעימה וידידותית. הפאב נעים לבירה . קהל נעים ואווירה ידידותית

  • 5/5 Carrie 5 years ago on Google
    The staff working here are super friendly and the matcha lattes are out of this world - the green tea taste is really earthy and added to the soya milk it's just sweet enough and delicious. The interior is lovely and there's a nice little seat at the back tucked in the corner right next to the window which is nice on a sunny day. The food is a little pricey, but being a vegan place they use a large variety of ingredients which is really refreshing.

  • 4/5 Alice E. 5 years ago on Google
    Great staff, good avocado toast, seating a bit undergraduate

  • 5/5 Michael R. 5 years ago on Google

👍👍 An excellent experience at Miller and Carter tonight. The food came out quickly and was so incredibly delicious - the steak was cooked to perfection and the beef dripping sauce was to die for!
