What we love

  • •Sourcing from Dak, Amsterdam; a named specialty roaster, communicated to customers
  • •Cortado noted for fruit-forward character by specialty-literate regulars
  • •Coffee-literate menu: piccolo, cortado, affogato
  • •No-ceremony room; nothing to distract from the drink

Hinba Speciality Coffee★★ Specialty

Single origins rotate through the espresso and batch brew menu, and the staff expect you to have a preference. The City Centre coffee stop a Glasgow visitor plans around rather than stumbles into.
