Very friendly staff and a very cozy atmosphere. These is one of my favourite cafes in the city. There’s a great seating area around the back that has a couch and chair, perfect for lounging with friends or a book.
Tinderbox is a great little coffee shop offering both hot and cold food. Their coffee is out of this world and just by the university meaning it is often a place where students gather.Good vibe, great food and just
Overpriced…. Better than the Byres Road branch, and the staff are sometimes less impersonal, but the prices are still ridiculous, but that’s the whole point for the crowd they are playing too (overly poncy, overly trendy).The cakes are pretty nice (friandes, reasonably authentic liege waffles) but once again are stupidly priced for what they are…I usually go to sit down and write/read for a few hours after work, waiting for my other half to finish their work.If I’m lucky it’s pretty quiet and I can get some work done. Tether your laptop to your phone’s data connection because it’ll be a damn sight cheaper than buying wi-fi time!I used to love Tinderbox but I’ll be totally honest I’ve started to spend more time in Peckham’s on Glassford Street, I can get a plate of food for about the same price as a bowl of soup in Tinderbox (neverminding Tinderbox’s most expensive pie and baked beans you will ever find in your life…!)PROS: Plenty of seating, plug sockets near most tables (but not all) for laptops/phones, nice cakesCONS: Can sometimes be noisy when filled with ‘trendy’ types, overexpensive, no free wi-fi like most places are offering now, mostly impersonal staff.
Overpriced, clearly lost its way. I used to like Tinderbox, great alternative to the main chains. Not anymore, sadly. I’m sitting writing this review in the cafe! I’m tethered to iPhone as they want to charge me for wifi. Rip off!I like the coffee, but my cappuccino isn’t. It’s a latte in a cappuccino cup.Also, service with a smile hasn’t reached here yet.Off to Caffe Nero next time. It’s far nicer, and also cheaper! What a shame.
Toasted Bagel. Unfortunately, bagels from Tinderbox are more often crushed and burnt in a Panini press than toasted, resulting in a thin, hard, destroyed bagel, only fit for the bin. In fairness, I’ve had some good ones (which is why I bought more), but its just luck whether you’re served by someone who’s perfected the art of cooking a bagel in an unsuitable appliance. While the coffee is fantastic, the food from Tinderbox gives the impression of trying to be something its not and is a tad overpriced!
Love it. Been to Tinderbox many times (although tend to go to the newer Princes Sq cafe) and I love it. Very trendy cafe and even trendier customers. Delicious coffee (amongst other things) and a great selection of paninis and cakes.
Tinderbox is not vegetarian but it does offer se veggie options. The chichpea and spinach dahl soup was great but spoilt by the stale ‘crusty bread’. Not many options for special diets, especially for wheat free. Staff were friendly and helpful.
