If you’re in need of some good coffee and fancy going somewhere new, head south down to The Briggait where you’ll find the Dear Green Pop Up. I made my first visit here last year around October, and they’re opening their doors again Friday-Sunday for the rest of summer.
So a few weeks ago when it was like a real life summer in Glasgow, Rick and I went for a walk (as we always do) to catch some rays. And now said rays have (inevitably) disappeared I thought I’d reminisce about the time we stopped into Tantrum Doughnuts at random and treated ourselves to our first Tantrum experience.
So a brunch date to the Trans Europe Cafe happened. I’d been wanting to visit for a while, ’cause I feel like the Cafe holds some kind of reputation for being an ideal casual/delicious brunch spot in the city centre.
A chilly Saturday morning and a break from the endless Glasgow rain meant one thing – a winter’s walk, and a visit to bakery47. My first visit to be exact. With the sporadic opening hours and limited info available online, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. What I found was a warm and welcoming bakery-come-cafe with a pastry selection to please everyone imaginable.
Today we went for a long walk; through the city, down to Queen’s Park then back up and along the River and through the West End. Made a pit-stop at Kelvingrove Gallery then headed back into town, and very happily stumbled across Gesso – a relatively new café tucked away on St George’s Road. I’d briefly read about this on WOW247’s “Best Coffee Spots in Glasgow” post a few weeks ago but had totally forgotten about it.
Glasgow is on a bit of a roll with independent coffee shops cropping up on every corner – and as a huge lover of the bean, I obviously couldn’t be happier about it.
