Cafe Sono

You'll find yourself on Argyle Street in the thick of Glasgow's city centre, and Cafe Sono is exactly the kind of spot that makes you realise you've stumbled onto something real. It's packed most mornings with people who know their coffee, fuelled by proper Italian espresso and the kind of straightforward cooking that doesn't need to shout about itself. The vibe is genuinely bustling—locals at the counter, regulars who clearly have their usual order down pat, and the kind of atmosphere that comes from a place that's been doing the basics brilliantly for years.
