Roast & Review: Let the Coffee Commence (1)

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

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 within 5 minutes so overall impressed with this place.

9. Tinderbox

Tastewise, the coffee wasn't as smooth as I had hoped for, as well as being relatively mild in strength, though it was adequate. I went to the Tinderbox on Waterloo Street just a few streets up from Argyle Street, again there are a number of these locations predominantly in the centre of the city. It was comfortable seating though was a bit rowdy whilst I was in with a few social groups, probably the reason the service wasn't very quick too.

8. MILK Cafe

My latte here tasted great, not too strong nor weak. Coming in a compostable cup the coffee, it was good quality as is everything this cafe does by the look of the food menu and online reviews. Located on a busy high street, it is situated just 10 minutes from the city centre by a train or car. The ambiance was extraordinary with it having a quirky warmth from the interior decoration and the friendly staff, with the added bonus of a swift service.

Laboratorio Espresso Coffee taste/strength 5 Coffee quality 5 Convenient location 4 Pleasant ambience 3 Quick service 5 This modern Italian-style little cafe in the center of the city is a must-try, the latte being made to perfection and having a smooth full-bodied taste again having a double espresso shot in it. Coffee quality from here would make the Italians proud - having exceptional quality, a slight sweetness and some nuttiness to it. Situated in the middle of Buchanan Bus Station, Queen Street and Central Station, there is no excuse not to stop by for a quick caffeine fix. The ambience could have been more relaxed, although the coffee and quick service made up for this. 3.
