Part of a country better known for its whiskey than coffee, so you may be surprised that Glasgow is bursting at the seams with coffee shops – very good coffee shops at that! Here are 10 coffee shops in Glasgow, that are the very cream of the crop, the absolute best haunts that you must visit!
A regular on best coffee shops in Glasgow lists and a favourite among locals. This spot takes its coffee seriously, even offering training sessions to those interested in the roasting process and latte art. The shop itself is cool, minimal but cosy and is located in hipsters’ paradise – Glasgow’s West End.
This hip West End bakery may be small, but it packs a punch. The majority of the interior is made up of the large counter, but the piles of freshly baked goods that sit on top make great use of it. The coffee is pretty great too – grab a latte and watch the world go by through the large windows that look onto the always busy Great Western Road.
Opened by blogger Kate La Vie – an interior and lifestyle blogger – and her husband, this coffee shop is an Instagram dream. Her stamp on the shop is obvious, from the minimalism, to soft colours and luscious plants. They do some pretty good coffee and vegan cakes too – make sure to give both a try when you’re finished taking pictures for Instagram!
Buying their beans directly from farmers, this spot also takes their coffee seriously. They also serve up organic and vegan treats that compliment the great coffee so well. This coffee shop has almost become part of Glasgow’s heritage – a must visit for any coffee lover.

This caffeine emporium is fairly new to the city and is shaking up the coffee scene in Glasgow. Not only do they sell coffee, they sell it by the bag (of beans) for you to take home.
