    Great coffee and Bacon sandwich to die for😊 keep your eyes open as the shop is down a set of steps of the street.

    I went back for the first time in years, and was not disappointed. They make the lunchtime sarnie grab interesting, and a soulful experience. Different menu, and some space to hang out when less busy.

    Favourite sandwich shop in town! With a kind of underground / heavy metal style and feel, the extravagant dishes are named appropriately and the style is executed so well, not too over the top. The decor is amazing and it has little rooms where you can chow down and chew the cud in semi privacy. Even the toilet is entertaining! It is plastered with magazine cuttings and pictures, with the off bit of hilarious graffiti to boot. This place is where the cycle couriered used to hang out and you can still feel their presence, even if they're long gone from the corner of blythswood square...

  • 5/5 Sean C. 5 years ago on Google
    Great little breakfast place! Reasonable prices especially given the high quality of food on offer, and very pleasant staff. The location is quirky, being a cellar but it doesn't feel particularly subterranean or claustrophobic, and the artwork hanging on the walls is a nice touch. For me the 'Manfosh' bagel was the perfect start to my day!

    Great independent sandwich shop with a dazzling array of hot and cold sandwiches. Limited seating inside. Staff are nice and friendly too!

  • 5/5 Anthony H. 6 years ago on Google
    Very cool little place. Got a toastie, firewalker, and 2 sodas for only about $15 USD total. The toastie was our favorite!

  • 5/5 Sarah L. 9 years ago on Google
    One of my favourite places to eat lunch in town. Alright, so there's a bit of a queue if you come right in the middle of the lunch-hour rush, but it's worth it for the delicious bagels and other menu items. Apparently you can phone an order in as well which would save time. Prices are on the high side yes but you can still have an absolutely massive bagel / panino for £5 sit-in (or less take-away).

    Just eaten here this morning. Quirky little place with plenty of seating and a great menu. My partner had a man's bagel with bacon, cheese, poached egg and brown sauce, looked amazing. I had porridge with honey and it was worth the wait. Freshly made, creamy and delicious. I highly recommend a visit if you're in Glasgow.

  • 2/5 Kristian S. 4 years ago on Google
    Had eggs benedict. Everything was luke warm, coffee included. Too much vinegar taste in the poached eggs. The toast had gone soft. The place smelled of fried bacon. The only good thing about the place was that the prices were fairly low.

  • 5/5 Colm O. 4 years ago on Google
    Can't knock the food or service which was top notch. However on the day I visited it was like walking into a sauna. Was a bit humid outside and it is in a basement but still could do with some air-con.

  • 5/5 Lorraine H. 4 years ago on Google
    Hands down the best sandwich place for lunch in the city centre. Potentially Scotland.

  • 4/5 Paul R. 4 years ago on Google
    Stopped in here for a late breakfast/early lunch, we both had bagels and they were both great!

  • 2/5 Elin 4 years ago on Google
    Had eggs benedict and cappuccino, both were almost cold when served. The cappuccino was covered with chocolate powder which made it taste like hot chocolate more than espresso. The toast was soggy and the sauce tasted too much of vinegar.

  • 5/5 Luke M. 4 years ago on Google
    Fantastic, their stews of the day are brilliant. I eat here at least once or twice a week.

  • 5/5 Callum O. 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious paninis tbh

  • 4/5 Jason C. 9 years ago on Google
    Good food, hip buzzy place with a feeling of undiscovered ness! Decent find and worth the 15m walk from town

  • 5/5 Maggie M. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 lucia b. 4 years ago on Google
    A nice place where to have breakfast. I highly recommend all the bagels they prepare. Good coffee as well!

  • 5/5 Daniel M. 4 years ago on Google
    Love this place ?. I'm not in Glasgow very often now but always call in when I'm there. The choice is great, service is quick and the sandwiches/paninis/bagels etc are *so good*. How can they get them so right, when just about everywhere else is just slightly disappointing!

👍👍 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! All steaks come with house fries they can up upgraded to chunky chips or sweet potato fried but we honestly...
