Sexy Coffee

Image
  With the season we are in it is only right to finish off with the most popular seasonal drink that coffee lovers wait all year long for....                    pumpkin spice latte (PSL) &  for this I chose a new little coffee place located just next to Glasgow Central train station.  Not only is a caffeine pick me offered here but cocktails are also on the menu! A place where your quick coffee stop could turn into something else. This being the case for some... although on a Saturday night we chose a Pumpkin Spice latte over a Espresso Martini. Weird one. The decor inside is beautiful, in my opinion bringing an upscale New York coffee spot vibe. The service was extremely fast, we were hardly sitting down before our coffees were ready to be collected next to the till. So... the pumpkin spice latte.  Wow.  The first time I have ever tried a pumpkin spice (late on the trend I know), now full of regrets seeing w...

Coffee Boy

Coffee Boy!   The calming and comfortable environment that is created within this coffee spot makes it the perfect place for you to carry out multiple activities. The welcoming environment created from the layout design, chosen colours and furniture, and the staff bring in a diverse customer group for all to enjoy what Coffee Boy has to offer. On my last trip here I seen; a man enjoying a Saturday morning coffee reading his newspaper, a women catching up with some studying and a group of friends out socialising with some good food and coffee! Now the coffee.... Your morning coffee can make or break your day in my opinion, so getting it right is extremely important! For those that struggle to choose between syrups, Coffee Boy have the perfect drink to solve your issue.  'Coffee Boy' A switch up (slightly) from my usual coffee order... This signature latte consists of, both, caramel syrup and vanilla syrup! The perfect mix for those indecisive people.  As the colder weather...

Coffee Counter

The place all my money goes... where my Gran & Granda continually tell me I don't need to get another. I do. Coffee Counter. My absolute favourite place ever.  Currently with the cutest autumn set up...    Coffee counter is a small business which have expanded their original set up into multiple locations. - Sunnyside Train Station - Drumgelloch Train Station - Croy Train Station - Cumbernauld - West End Glasgow  and even a van for on the go coffee pop ups! The train station locations makes this an easy, accessible spot for you to pop into on your way to/from work, uni or your daily activities. Even without what some would call a 'valid' reason for being at a train station, I still find myself there daily. Coffee, to me, a valid reason... From the range of hot/cold drink options, flavours of syrups, alternative milks, hot/cold food options and sweet treats you really are spoilt for choice! My order recently changed when I discovered their protein lattes are!...

Coffee Brunching

Weekend brunching wouldn't be complete without the perfect coffee accompanying, and for this I have my favourite spots also. Rustico                                                                                                         Rustico Coffee is a family owned restaurant located in Mount vernon. From their range of food, cake and coffee options, this little place has it all. A place where a 20 minute wait for a table is actually 2 and your order is freshly made and placed in front of you in what feels like 30 seconds. Their fast and friendly service is what keeps this place constantly filled.  My favourite part... the coffee! It's strange how the same coffee order tastes completely different at every place. But wow wo...

Starbucks

A favourite with my friends and I. A trip to Starbucks isn't just about the drink, rather the whole experience they have created with it. A quick service, there is minutes between you ordering and picking up you're beverage at the end counter. This element keeps Starbucks lovers returning. No one wants to be waiting 10+ minutes for your morning coffee - especially if you're already not a morning person... If you're not just in for a quick pick me up, Starbucks environment can be utilized in multiple ways. A catch up over a coffee, a place to study or a place for you to relax, it caters to all. My all time go to drink would be an iced vanilla latte  with oat milk, I swear by this!  Although an iced drink, this can be enjoyed all year round. Personally, Starbucks iced coffee tastes much better than their warm - not something most people would agree with or notice but is definitely true! The perfect summer drink! A Strawberry Acai with Lemonade.  I say summer drink but thi...
