Owner-run and hands-on, with food that earns its own visit and coffee that outperforms the block.

A Finnieston local that takes the coffee more seriously than you'd expect.

Thomson's Coffee single origins at a West End bar-café, producers named and tasting notes on the menu. The staff will talk you through what's on; doesn't happen often in a room that also lists cocktails.
