Pollokshaws Rd0.1 mi from Shawlands centrelast reviewed June 2026

A Shawlands studio where filter gets the same care as the matcha, with a manual pour-over menu and a shelf of bags tagged for filter or espresso to take home.

A Shawlands matcha bar that turns out to be a serious filter room.

The wrong island

I am writing this from Ponta Delgada, where the coffee in front of me was roasted about four streets away. Normally that is the whole story.

Frankie Coffee★★ Specialty

A plant-based espresso bar in Shawlands that runs an Antipodean menu and knows why each item is on it. Order the magic.

Spider Monkey Coffee Southside★★ Specialty

A roastery-backed café in Shawlands where the coffee knowledge runs deeper than the postcode suggests. The southside stop for anyone who cares what ends up in the cup.

Toro Coffee★★ Specialty

Rotating guest roasters with the espresso changing weekly and filter every day or two. The tasting notes are on the menu for a reason: this is a coffee bar where the sourcing is the point.
