Where The Monkey Sleeps: Café/gallery with outstanding sandwiches
Where The Monkey Sleeps (WTMS), which opened in 2001, offers an eclectic range of sandwiches, film-star-themed smoothies and great coffee to boot.
A popular haunt with office workers and bicycle couriers alike, it can get very busy on weekday lunchtimes — however, pop in later in the day or mid-morning and you’ll find it blissfully calm, so take advantage of the comfy sofas and enjoy the temporary exhibitions in the gallery space.
Set up by a group of Glasgow School of Art graduates, it began as an escape from their jobs with multinational coffee chains, and has grown over the years to become a smart, fun place to eat. They place great emphasis on fresh ingredients, and the food is hearty and homemade — a far cry from that served by their rivals.
