Simply delicious scones, perfect taste and texture. Coffee wasn't the best, but definitely worth a visit for the scones.

Love this place. Several home made soups to choose from with either a doorstep of bread and butter or a scone. Lovely atmosphere and delicious reasonably priced food. You will not be disappointed.

Very friendly staff, delicious chai latte (with oat milk), typical prices, calming environment though a little off-putting that it’s in a church. There is also no signage for the cafe until you enter the church which confused us.

The church atmosphere is a little off putting unless you worship god, but the chai latte is cute and tastes very good so it mostly balances that out.

Really neat dining experience in the heart of downtown Glasgow. The restaurant is accessible through the side entrance of the church that houses it, and boasts a lot of seating comfortably spread out amongst the dining room area (the church's nave).

The menu features primarily soups with bread, scones and a number of other desserts, as well as coffee, too. I ordered a scone with cream, and my friend ordered tea as well as a scone. The service here was amazing and quite quick, with friendly staff members, and my scone was great (vanilla scone). My friend's scone was also good (pumpkin, sunflower scone), but it was not nearly as good as the one I ordered, and the tea was also pretty decent.

Additionally, I should point out that the cream was a very good move, as it was excellent, and that the scones come with their own little jar of jelly, too, which is very good and tastes fresh. Other nice things included an accessible restroom at the back of the church, and the interior feeling warm yet also nice and airy.

The small complaints that I do have are that the restaurant does not have menus that they pass out to you, and you need to stand near the entrance to look over the menu and order, which can be a problem when people are entering the restaurant or when it becomes busier. Other than that, a great experience (plus they have strong wifi with a code on the menu at the front!)

What an amazing place. A cafe in a church. Wonderful peaceful atmosphere. I just had a scone today but will definitely be back. Love that you can "pay it forward" so that food is given to local homeless folks. Fantastic!

For different rendezvous in Glasgow this is a regular central venue to grab a coffee and chat. A good selection of scones and cakes. Add a bowl of soup. Good service and prompt.

Really peaceful place with lovely range of soup on offer. Staff very helpful but did have to wait 15 mins for a table. A great outreach from the church.
