The explosion in coffee culture in the last decade can be seen all over the world and the Glasgow coffee scene is no different.

With so much choice now popping up in the city, it was pretty hard to narrow it down, but these are the 7 best places for Glasgow coffee…

1. Kaf

A tiny little coffee shop that is incredibly impressive for its size, Kaf also does unbelievably colourful and tasty food. Having one of their big tasty special sandwiches and your favourite brew is an absolute treat.

2. Laboratorio Espresso

You’ll find this world-class coffee shop on West Nile St. They often win awards for best coffee in the UK and even further afield. The owners are always on the lookout for great ideas to bring back to Glasgow to up their coffee game even further – one for the coffee aficionados.

4. MILK Cafe

This community-focused cafe is a social enterprise set up to support women from migrant backgrounds, including refugees and asylum seekers. It's a fantastic spot to grab a delicious cup of coffee while supporting a noble cause.

5. The Good Coffee Cartel

This solid spot was founded by two good friends, Courtney Brennan & Todd Whiteford, who both have a passion for good design and great coffee. They place a big emphasis on sustainability, and make sure that goes all the way back to the coffee farmers.

6. Verse

This coffee store began by popping up at various events and spaces all over the city. Their space is small, but they pack in so much – good food (treats and breads especially) and super coffee, so you’ll be a regular in no time. And if you like experimental, creative coffee-based drinks, you'll love it here.

7. Papercup

Bagging the number one position is a cafe that is renowned for its speciality coffee sourced from around the world. You’ll find this wildly popular spot in Glasgow’s West End, but they also have a roastery just down the road where they freshly prep all their coffee. Papercup also does roaring trade online for their beans – once you taste them you’ll want their coffee on tap 24/7.
