What bongo2008 doesn't like about Pena:
I swithered whether to point this out to at the time but decided not to. The veggie haggis sandwich is really bad I’m afraid. You have to do something more interesting than just shoving veggie haggis on bread with leaves and tomato and toasting it. Check out Papercup on Great western road for inspiration. Very very disappointing. View all feedback. What clairearmstrong3 likes about Pena:
I have visited before for a toastie and coffee. The toasties were perfect crisp on the outside and melted on the inside. The coffee was powerful and robust. The Japanese food from the pop up kitchen was tasty but not the most flavoursome Japanese in the west end. The staff were lovely and the location and atmosphere is perfect!! View all feedback.

I usually take away but the service is pretty quick. It's not overly pricey but I wouldn't go every day to buy lunch. Great coffee. I think the last time they'd...

Love this little place tucked away in the West End. They offer tasty little toasties and tremendous coffee. Not much to the veggie option — go for the fisherman...

I was surprised to discover a place like this in Glasgow; it's the kind of eclectic, hip cafe that you would typically find along a palm-fringed beach in Southe...
