About Cafe Sono

On Argyle Street, Cafe Sono operates as a cafe, breakfast restaurant, and restaurant in one space, with decor built around antique cameras, old books, wooden door panels, and a ladder mounted on the ceiling. The kitchen covers breakfast, including a vegetarian option, alongside a wider menu of chicken doner, kebab, cheeseburger, and the Manhattan Burger, with baklava and coffee and tapas bites like haggis also on offer. The cafe opens daily, with later hours on weekends, and reservations are recommended. A step-free, wheelchair-accessible entrance serves visitors with mobility needs. Its position near Glasgow's train station makes it a practical stop for a meal before catching a train.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers repeatedly single out the chicken doner and kebab as standouts, with several calling it among the best in the city and noting the late weekend hours as a draw. Close behind, the baklava and coffee pairing draws praise, alongside the Manhattan Burger, a classic cheeseburger with melty cheese, and tapas bites like the haggis. Others highlight the pakora with hot tea as a comforting stop on a cold day. Beyond the food, diners consistently mention the decor, antique cameras, old books, and a ladder on the ceiling, along with music spanning the 1990s to 2010s, as part of a cosy, quirky atmosphere. Staff come up often too, described as friendly, attentive, fast, and generous. No recurring complaints appear across the reviews. Several mention returning after a first visit, and one diner notes bringing visitors back from a night out specifically for the kebab.

Featured reviews

  • Aleena Ahmad
    “Amazing breakfast , everything was delicious from the vegetarian breakfast to the baklava and coffee. Definitely coming back here again. Lovely service too and owners are so generous.”
  • Lewis McDermott
    “hands down the best kebab in Glasgow. excellent staff, great vibes (though a bit small) and unbelievable food. price is standard for the quality, but being open late on the weekend is a gam changer. I take any visitors to Glasgow here on the way back from a night on the town, cannot reccomend it more.”
  • Lorraine Hanvey
    “A quirky little place serving tasty food, reasonably priced. Loved the tapas bites, especially the haggis. A great find after our concert.The vibes were great too! Definitely recommend.”
  • Avalon Raffaelli
    “This Cafe is a wonderful one, with welcoming hosts and very fairly priced delicious food you cant go wrong! It is a local gem and I absolutely adored it.”
  • Hansa Sutcu
    “We had an amazing, time-saving and truly satisfying experience just half an hour before our train from Glasgow. We ordered chicken doner, and it was honestly delicious. The atmosphere was very relaxed, and the staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and fast. Everything was smooth and efficient, exactly what you need when you're short on time. I’d definitely recommend not wasting time anywhere else — if you want something tasty and quick, this is the place to go!”
