The Herald Cafe Bar in Glasgow City

Been there a few times for breakfast and even though it's simple it feels sleek. All forms in a lovely experience in the beautiful setting if the Michelin Library! After having gotten my order taken from a very friendly and polite staff member Paul we had lovely Scottish breakfast and Veggi breakfast 🙂

Cafe itself is fine for what it is but the staff are extremely rude and unaccommodating. I visited recently with some friends to study and due to the library being exceptionally busy we had to sit in the cafe as all other available seats were on floors that did not allow group discussion. My friends and I bought two drinks each and one of my friends bought a panini from the cafe. We assumed that this would be enough to legitimise our stay but apparently it was not. We were repeated glared at by a young blonde female member of staff and we're told we could not eat our own food (some fruit and a salad) even though our friend was eating food from the cafe and we were all drinking drinks we had purchased there. The same member of staff repeated walked past other groups who were eating food they hadn't purchased from the cafe, who also appeared to not have purchased anything from the cafe itself. Personally as group we felt picked on and couldn't understand why we were being singled out in this way.

Disappointing £4.75 chicken and bacon sub roll, very cold roll, 2 microscopic bits of bacon, cheap coleslaw, nachos were standard. Carrot cake nice and very fresh.

It's a bit pricey for a library but otherwise lovely

Good theatre cafe

Good place to learn

Have ordered hot chocolate and banana cake. Both of them are wonderful. Anyone who will visit the library should never miss trying both of them. As I am the chocolate lover, I gave this cup 5 stars.

Very decent cafe in the historical Mitchell Library. Easy access to Wifi, spacious, bright.

A bit overpriced but good cafe to hang out in while getting some work done.

The food is tasty but a tad overpriced
