I'm on a tour of Glasgow sandwich shops and this was the latest on my list. I have to say I've visited another amazing cafe, and it's a hidden gem because it's the other side of the Clyde. There's a fantastic menu, full of different soup, sandwiches and more for lunch. I will also highlight their excellent breakfast menu which I have tried but my friend loves their rolls in the morning. I ordered the Chicago Meatpacker, an empire biscuit and a coke. Waited for a few minutes and then I was on my way with my lunch. The first thing I noticed was how warm the sandwich was in my hand. I mean it was wrapped up but it was hooot. That's a good thing btw. I got back to work and ate my sandwich and admit that I loved every bite. Then I had my empire biscuit and woah, outstanding. I realised I never mentioned the staff were so friendly. So it's another place I recommend, another 5 stars, and thoroughly deserved.

Mulkanwan is such a great spot for lunch! Super fresh ingredients, varied menu and good value. Their online portal for ordering is super handy and although this place is always busy the team are not only friendly but super fast! Couldn't recommend it enough.

Lovely wee shop! The area isn't exactly a hub like merchant city, but it's convenient to get to and was a pit stop on my way to the M8. I ordered online in a rush and my sandwich was ready in less than 7 minutes. I had the Italian on focaccia and it was absolutely amazing. Great size portion and delicious flavors. Worth every penny! They had loads of drink options and some cakes, definitely will be back to try more. Staff were friendly for the short bit I interacted with them!

The Italian Stallion has got to be the best sandwich in Scotland. Friendly staff, great selection of sandwiches and cakes. Home made Viennese swirl was also amazing!

This place is one of my favorite in Glasgow. I always go for the egg sandwich (so good) and their coffee never disappoint. The staff are really kind and friendly all the time, the place got nice feeling. Chill and simple, just feels good. It’s one of the few places I actually enjoy going to. I always leave happy. Really recommend it if you are around
