About Kudos Cafe

Kudos Cafe is a breakfast restaurant on Argyle St, open daily except Tuesdays for daytime service only. Alongside the main menu, a regularly updated specials board brings dishes like truffle hash browns and tiramisu French toast into rotation, with other options including lemon and blueberry French toast, a steak croissant, and egg benny on thick cut brioche. Açai bowls, yoghurt bowls, and oats sit alongside the cooked plates, and coffee runs to a flat white. Seating spreads across a back section and a separate floor, in addition to a small outdoor frontage. There is no booking system or phone line, so tables are walk-in only, and a wait is common, with a text sent once one is ready. Some customers have tried reaching the cafe through Instagram messages instead.

Customer Review Summary

Diners repeatedly single out the lemon and blueberry French toast as the standout order, with several also praising the tiramisu French toast for its creamy, dark chocolate finish, though one reviewer found that same tiramisu version overly decadent with dry ladyfingers. Close behind, the steak dishes draw strong praise, from the "Sexy Vodka Sando" with its breaded chicken to the steak croissant with chilli jam, alongside the egg benny on thick brioche and the scrambled eggs with avocado. The staff are consistently described as friendly and attentive, and the flat whites and iced hazelnut lattes get individual mentions. The recurring frustration is access: with no reservation line or booking system, several reviewers describe long waits, one noting drinks arrived and were finished before food came, and another resorting to an unanswered Instagram message before chancing a walk-in. One visitor did note the coffee portion felt small. Despite this, more than one review describes being notified by text once a table was ready.

    “I was looking for a breakfast spot today after visiting the Metallica pop-up @ the science centre. The staff were friendly, even if they were struggling with the heat. The food was absolutely worth the wait, which leads to my only small gripe, that by the time the food arrived, we had finished our coffees, but the place was packed, so we ordered more, and all was well. Will definitely be back.”

    “If you’re in the Glasgow area and looking for amazing food, you have to try Kudos. I’ve eaten at so many places around Glasgow, but nothing compares to this. The food at Kudos is absolutely incredible — honestly, I can’t find the words to describe how good it is. This is my favourite place for steak, without a doubt. They deserve 5 Michelin stars!”
  • Kate Tsang
    “Very good food lovely staff good but tiny coffee, ling wait for food and drinks unfortunately, no way to book a table in advance, no booking system or telephone number to call, I tried to book through Instagram message but no answer, place is busy so we was very lucky to chance it turn up and get the table for 4.”
