During one of my many walks around Dennistoun (East End of Glasgow), I discovered my new favourite coffee spot! Andina Coffee makes the best coffee (I'm Italian and I have high coffee standards, so trust me on this one) in Glasgow! This spot was recently upgraded with a new espresso bar, a must-visit if you like me are an espresso lover. And if you're lucky you'll also be able to meet the two resident doggos, Mia and Blue, which are usually chilling or napping inside the shop.
The coffee tastes amazing and you can literally taste Colombia with every sip. What makes this spot so special is that the coffee beans travel all the way from Colombia and they are the result of the hard work of many coffee farmers working in small farms where they are provided with fair working conditions.
Visiting Andina has become a ritual and I love to pop in for a visit either for a cortado to go or sit in and fully enjoy its Colombian vibes. The staff is super friendly and the ambiance is great. It's the perfect spot to chill while reading a book or taking a break from exploring the surrounding area! If you happen to be in the West End of Glasgow don't worry Andina has you covered! Their new shop is located by Finnieston, make sure to check this out for breakfast too!
P.S. Make sure to check their Instagram page for the latest updates and food menu!
