Who ate all the pies? Glaswegians of course. Not to knock the bakers themselves, but it's not a coincidence that this city is so unhealthy and that the majority of people (at a guess) eat their lunch from Greggs. If it's sausage rolls, rolls and bacon or square sausage you want, this is where to come - oh aye, and pies. They also do many doughnuts and other cakes, personally I'm partial to a wee fern cake occasionally. It's a shame that they don't heat up the apple pie slices anymore though. Branches all over the city, eg George Square and Byres Road.

The real draw back to Greggs is the terrible advert featuring the "comic" out of Max & Paddy. Greggs are on just about every street and everyone of them is busy. Sells take-away sandwiches, cakes, bread/rolls, and pies etc. Plus hot/cold drinks. Staff are okay but you do get the odd one who needs to learn how to smile. Personal favourites include the Harvester loaf, sells for approximately 87p. The Harvester bread is used for the Chicken & Mango sandwiches, which are a bit steep at £1.89 but very tasty. I find the cakes in Greggs are overly sweet, almost sugary. Whilst the cookies taste undercooked and soggy. However, I must be in the minority as Greggs sell thousands of cakes every hour.
