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

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.

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.

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.

Coffee Competition Completed (4)

Papercup Coffee Company 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 returnin...

Coffee Collation (3)

Click the picture at the top to view the menu of blog posts.  4 . 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.
