Overview

Piece on Argyle Street in Finnieston is the original branch of Glasgow's well-known gourmet sandwich chain, opened in 2008 by John Moore and Tom Lauckner. Co-owners John Moore and Jon McDonald still run the business. It is one of the few Piece sites open seven days a week (Mon–Fri 8–4, Sat 9–4, Sun 10–4), so it covers weekend brunch as well as weekday lunches. Sandwiches are made to order in front of you from house-roasted meats, house pickles and sauces, with prices typically around £5.75–£6.95 and salad bowls about £7.50. Standouts include the Reuben, Piece Club, Cubano, NY Deli, pulled-pork Banh Mi and the cauliflower Veggie Banh Mi, plus vegan options such as Hummer, Nottolenghi and Cali Beets. Coffee, soups and sweet bakes round out the offer; click-and-collect is available from the website. The shop sits on the Finnieston stretch of Argyle Street near Kelvingrove. Exhibition Centre rail station is roughly a 7-minute walk; Kelvinhall Subway is about 10–12 minutes. Expect a busy lunch trade, a lively playlist, and a casual sit-down or takeaway setup rather than a full restaurant booking.

I’m absolutely disgusted with the so-called “Caesar Salad” I got. What I received was basically an out-of-date bag of supermarket salad, some cheap chicken thrown on top, and a tub of garlic mayo. That is not a Caesar salad, and certainly not worth £7.50. It looked awful, tasted worse, and was a complete waste of money. Selling this as a Caesar salad is misleading, and frankly a joke. I highly urge anyone who is planning on visiting to get a salad bowl to avoid as you’ll get a hair in your food 🤢

Enjoyed breakfast coffee and croissant 🥐 at Piece. Then returned for a Rueben sandwich and cookie for lunch. Food was fresh and tasty and coffee was great.

Popped in for lunch after being given a glowing recommendation. Went for the NY Deli and the person serving suggested the white bloomer bread which I went with. Worked very well with the ingredients, very filling and tasty. One of the best sandwiches I have in a while. Staff all friendly, service quick and efficient. An easy five stars. Photos don't do it justice.

Just had one of the best sandwiches of my life - Persian turkey - at this cafe. Food is exceptionally fresh, fantastic taste combo and really friendly staff. Should be ranked #1 in Glasgow!
