Great vegan options!

Vegan options are somewhat limited, but very tasty. Staff is accommodating and veganised a wrap upon request.
Limited choice of vegan cakes, but the coconut brownie was very delicious.

limited but good.

one of many places which are on HC which I don't think are. aimed at vegans, but have options.
although a meaty place, there is an emphasis on quality products. the vegan options are limited, and there are vegan restaurants close by, but the food is good. they also have a food idea about food and you should have any problems getting something.
if you need a quick bite or takeaway, of are with people who want non veg, it's a decent option.
handy location as well.
Stopped an and had a veg shalwara wrap. Lots of veg with some za’atar, tasty as...
Had a mushroom roll, tip top.


Went in for breakfast and 0900 and they have nothing vegan in the mornings.

Poor service, good coffee!

Sadly, I was initially ignored for a lengthy period at the counter which was an example of poor manners. I was about to walk out when offered service. On the upside, the coffee is excellent. The cake, PB&J, sadly, was heavy and light on filling.

Pros: A few good vegan options, Excellent coffee

Cons: Poor service

Yummy vegan options and all the plant-based milks!

Located almost directly across from the main entrance of Central Station, I popped into Riverhill twice on my trip to Glasgow. There is no sign outside so make sure you look for the number. The first time I had a DELICIOUS, SCRUMPTIOUS squash korma pastie (like a empanada) and an oat milk latte. The second time I had a pistachio mini Bundt cake and an oat milk flat white. Good experiences both times but I'd opt for savoury next time as the cake was a bit dry. They had several vegan options both times and, I noticed even though I'm not GF, lots of gluten-free options. It's a TINY place so don't bring your whole crew and expect to sit and lounge. It's best as a quick bite take for you and your friend or to grab something for take-out.

Pros: Selection of vegan goods both savoury and sweet, Location, Value and quality

Cons: Teeny tiny, No bathroom (use train station, nbd), Vegan cake needs a moisture boost

Good quality food

I pop in on regular basis they made vegan food for me when they had no vegan options left. Usually it ends up being a wrap with delish filling. Brownies are rather good there and so is coffee. A bit pricey but defo worth it.

Bewilderment!

I went in for lunch the other day and asked what options they had for vegan. They girl looked a bit surprised when I asked but sadly there was nothing available and no offer of making anything vegan. Shame.

Nice cakes but no toilet!

This coffee bar has a great location right between Queen Street and Central station and offers some really nice vegan cakes, as well as some good (not great) coffee.

Be aware that they don't have a toilet for customers though!

Pros: Nice vegan cakes

Cons: No toilet

Take me to the river

We stopped off here to grab a hot drink and a cake before catching the train home, as it was nearby to the station. There were limited vegan options available, as it mostly serves meat but there a few vegan cake options available so we decided to order the peanut butter brownie, which was moist and tasty. We also ordered a fresh mint drink that was really refreshing and the local coffee, which was excellent and in total we spent just under £10. I would pop in again if I were in the area, as the items we did order were really nice but there are plenty of other vegan places close by.

Pros: Location

Cons: Serves meat, Few vegan options

Amazing vegan cakes!

As others have said, sadly Riverhill lacks vegan savoury dishes and soya milk, although on offer, is an extra 40p. However, I can overlook these issues due to their amazing vegan cakes. Had the banoffee volcano... soo good!

Pros: vegan cakes options

Cons: 40p extra for soya milk, often no vegan savoury op

Pros: CAKE!

Cons: No vegan breakfast items
