If you’re wandering along the High Street between the Museum and the University, Cardosi’s Espresso Bar at number 65 is a lovely spot to stop. It’s the casual little sister of Cardosi’s, the Italian restaurant round the corner on Storie Street, and it brings the same family warmth to a cosy, easy-going café.

The counter is full of cakes, and the menu keeps things simple and satisfying, with coffee and tea, paninis, ciabattas, sandwiches and baked potatoes. Grab a seat for a catch-up or take a coffee and a bite with you. Locals rate it highly for friendly service and good-value lunches.

Find them at 65 High Street, Paisley PA1 2AS. Call 0141 887 7555. They’re typically open Monday to Friday 9am–4pm and Saturday 9:30am–4:30pm, closed Sunday (worth checking Facebook before you go).
