Revival Speciality Coffee and Vinyl★★ Specialty

A West End specialty shop that earns the name, where the pour-overs are the reason to make the trip.

1841 Cafe & Bar★★ Specialty

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.

Space Speciality Coffee House★★ Specialty

A multi-roaster counter in Partick where the rotating selection is the draw. The sister cafe runs latte art training, which tells you how seriously the group takes it.
