Went here all the time while I was studying abroad in Glasgow. I think about it all the time now that I’m back home, their coffee is so good!!! I will definitely be back if/when I get back to the city!
This coffee shop is truly exceptional. The quality of the drinks is consistently top-notch, the staff is warm and attentive, and the atmosphere is the perfect blend of cozy and modern. It’s become my go-to spot for relaxing, working, or catching up with friends. Highly recommend to anyone who loves great coffee and great people.
Hands down the most beautiful coffee I've ever had. I've been back a few times and the coffee is worth every penny. The gorgeous gentleman with the moustache, suave attire and lovely manner makes going on for my magical coffee all the more delightful. If the said gentleman is looking for a wife.......❤️❤️❤️
Great coffee spot, first time visiting after stumbling upon it on maps while looking for a space to do some work in peace and quiet. Great coffee too, the house blend smooth with caramel and chocolate notes, and nicely finished with some latte art - which is nice to see! Lots on offer for coffee making at home and lots of beans on offer with expert knowledge to help even the novice.
I had a lovely time at Perch & Rest Coffee, this is a cosy and friendly coffee shop. The staff were very attentive and the coffee was delicious plus their cakes are tasty and fresh. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing spot to enjoy props coffee while in Glasgow.
Hidden away from the main road but a real gem! Coffee was expensive but well worth the premium. Fantastic filter and espresso coffee. Also some of the most beautiful latte art I've ever seen!
Key pleasures of my trip: - location of the shop. On a quiet stretch of Otago Street in Glasgow. A relaxing walk to the shop which gets one in the right mood - the shop: It is amazing what they have done with the otherwise small foot print. A selection of magazines, coffee brewing equipment and more is on display and available for purchase, yet the lighting and use of open spaces and paint tones means the shop dones not feel crowded! I got a travel mug which was a great help with the rest of my travels - Coffee: I thoroughly enjoyed my latte. I appreciated the option to buy a travel cup which held my coffee warm through to the late evening when I was done with that sweet beverage - Staff recommendations: Do ask the staff for recommendations as I did. I got asked a few preference questions and got recommended my latte, as I was not keen on coffee before my visit, so something that aligned with my tastes was recommended. Since that visit, I am beginning to get into coffee way more My review: Nestled on quiet Otago Street in a rather busy side of town, Perch & Rest is quite a sweet coffee shop. On a nice dry Glasgow day (when does this happen?) it would be great to sit outside and have a chat without the usual noise of busier streets On the wet and mildly overcast day I visited, it was brilliant to walk into the cozy and welcoming shop. Prior to this, I had only had my infrequent coffee from the usual high-street outlets, so was greatly blown away with the latte and custom blend (Burundi, it's called) that I got. Safe to say my standard of acceptable coffee changed. Now I know why you need to go to a coffee shop to enjoy coffee. Sorry highstreet chains, you are missing something. The propreitors were very friendly (well, gladly I knew them from another life but expect they are friendly to more than just myself, as they were to the other customers during my visit!) and took time to recommend a suitable coffee drink as I do not drink it often. I alslo tried one of the custome blends, the Burundi, expecting it to be very bitter but much to the contrary, it was very flavourful! I guess I had not had a proper coffee before this visit! My experience made me realise that there is so much more to coffee! Thank you Perch & Rest Coffee!
If you like speciality coffee and are looking for somewhere (pet friendly) in the West end - check out Perch & Rest. Espresso or V60 - they always have a couple of different options available, so if you're into light or dark roasts they'll have something to suit your tastes. The staff are friendly and are obviously well informed and trained on how to get the best out of the coffee. Annnnnd their cakes and cookies are first class too. Great cafe.
So far, best coffee in Glasgow! I like that they have V60 and they have Gardelli coffee! I am talking about premium beans combined with best brewing methods! I also had an espresso, served with sparkling water to cleanse the palate (the right way to serve espresso). They also sell coffee beans and brewing tools (filters, kettles, etc..). Staff are really friendly and informative.
A nice small place, they have a good variety of coffee beans from different roasters. They also sell reusable cups and coffee equipments. The place can get very crowded and noisy at times. Barista seemed lovely and patient with some yet not with others, as he went “oh for *uck sake!” Which I think is not very appropriate. Coffee tasted just ok for me. Though, I appreciated the latte art, you don’t see much of it in Glasgow. Overall, there was nothing that would make me choose visiting this particular place over others.
