Coffee taste/strength 5
Coffee quality 5
Convenient location 5
Pleasant ambience 5
Quick service 5

Papercup Coffee Company was one coffee shop I genuinely could not find a fault in regarding these factors, or any for that matter. One of the top-tasting coffees I have ever tried, the strength of my coffee was spot on. The quality from this little cafe is outstanding, you can tell from the taste of this cup, that the beans used have been freshly ground and of high quality, allowing for a more in-depth nuttiness and natural sweetness to my latte while still being smooth. The ambience was idyllic, with welcoming staff and comfortable seating, having some booth seats with lots of cushions, easy to relax once I entered, with low soothing music playing. I was served almost immediately on arrival in the Papercup Coffee Company cafe, and so overall I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here and plan on returning at some point to grab another coffee.


So... did ChatGPT Get it Right?

ChatGPT is a language model using a AI system to provide information to the user. This version used was ChatGPT-3.5, having last had a data update in January 2022 this would answer why four out of the ten coffee cafes it provided were already closed down, also showing the high turnover and how cut-throat the coffee business can be. 


Considering the ratings I have given the number one spot - Papercup Coffee Company, ChatGPT undeniably was reliable, having scored the cafe a perfect score all-round. There was also not a place that I disliked, the cafes provided in the list by ChatGPT and that were still open for business were remarkable in their own ways. The other top UK coffee shop chains included in the list were all reasonably good as well, providing decent coffees, I suppose, being such a staple the coffee has to be a certain level to have hundreds of coffee shops each all around the country.


Answering the question from the first blog post "Does ChatGPT actually give good recommendations?" I think it is evident on this occasion, yes, it certainly did. As seen, however, these recommendations may be out of date, but using this as a tool to find places and then seeking extra information online can definitely work if you're looking for some recommendations, whether it be restaurants, cafes, or places to go in and around Glasgow or any other place someone may be visiting.

Roast & Review: Let the Coffee Commence (1)

Click the picture at the top to view the menu of blog posts. A latte is my go-to choice, as well as only being behind a flat white and black americano in popularity among the population of the UK, this is the drink that will be compared throughout the reviewing process. Having no customisations made towards a medium/regular size of all of the drinks, to have a fair comparison. Each coffee shop factor will be ranked from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest rating. 10. Caffe Nero Coffee taste/strength 4 Coffee quality 4 Convenient location 4 Pleasant ambience 5 Quick service 4 The coffee from Caffe Nero has a nice robust flavour to it, the strength is pronounced but not too strong. The location of the one I went to in Glasgow was on Argyle Street, though there are more than a handful of locations within a 5-minute walk of Central Station. With chilled music playing and low lighting, it would be a great location to study or read a book. The service is prompt, and I got served my coffee withi...
