Daily – Dennistoun
17/20
The hidden gem of the east end. Located in Dennistoun, daily is a must visit spot for all coffee lovers in Glasgow. The team are all super friendly and up for a chat, they have a great selection of pastries, I tried the almond pain au chocolat which should be illegal it’s so tasty. There’s a couple of outdoor tables which are pretty peaceful on a dry day.
Zennor – Duke Street
19/20
If you don’t know, get to know. Due to the Denniston boom in the recent years, more and more concept restaurants and coffee shops have been popping up in Glasgow’s east end.
Zennor is definitely one of the coolest. It has a few small 2 person tables and a large communal table in the back room so you can share this experience with other coffee-loving east-enders.
Papercup – Great Western Road
18/20
Papercup is one of the west ends most popular spots. Their coffee is roasted locally and they make one of the best americanos on Great Western Road. The menu is packed with tasty brunch time treats. Id recommend visiting a few time to try more dishes. One of my favourite coffee shops in Glasgow.
Café Françoise – Byres Road
15/20
Café Françoise is Byres roads answer to Parisian coffee culture. It’s one of the most popular brunch spots on Byres road. If you are lucky enough to get a window seat, or one of their outdoor tables, you’ll have one of the best people-watching spots in Glasgow.
