With sausages you would never suspect are meat-free, smoothies to-die-for (try Coco Loco or Vegan Thunder), and an atmospheric cosy seating area adorned with fairy lights and the works of local artists, this is a Mecca for students and trendy freelancers.
The cafe is the brainchild of food blogger Roberta Norman, who believes that veganism is the healthiest way of life for people and planet.
'Healthy body, healthy mind,' she says. Don't imagine you'll be protein deprived though, all their food is fully charged with super foods.
Mono is possibly the coolest place in Glasgow to go for vegan food.
They do live music so you can enjoy your beetroot and kale pizza while listing to trendy new bands, local and international.
They share a building with Monorail Music so you can be sure to hear an eclectic backdrop to your vegan hot dog, happy in the knowledge that no dogs or other animals were killed in its making.
They run exhibitions, book readings and workshops too.
Keeping with the music theme, Soy Division is another Glasgow favourite.
They are best at comfort food and make everything homemade, even the cheese.
They also make a tasty cheesecake, mac and cheese and a range of homely treats that vegans may feel withdrawal symptoms for.
On the menu there's also a nut and mushroom pie and a hearty breakfast with homemade baked beans for those looking for a hearty dinner or weekend brunch.
