I'm lucky enough to work round the corner from the Cafe Wander and love going in for breakfast or lunch. The welcome is genuinely friendly (non of your fake Starbies training manual friendliness here!) the atmosphere relaxing and the food good and well priced - do try it! More

Found this little place by accident last year and now every visit to Glasgow includes a visit to Cafe Wander - the service is friendly and home baking is terrific and the frappes are to die for - give it a go :) More

Great coffee and food served by warm and friendly staff who welcome you with a smile. supports local art too. With so many chain coffee shops in the city centre it is great to find a coffee shop without the chain branding and sameyness!! More

Cafe Wander is brilliant for either a quick coffee, a takeaway lunch or a relaxing sit in meal. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming which really makes the atmosphere of the place unique. The food is always delicious; different specials each day, new soups and weekend breakfasts mean you'll always find something you like. I'd heartily recommend their... More
