Econic Glasgow

Planet friendly treats and gifts

"Econic in Glasgow’s East End is a hidden gem for eco-friendly gifts, local farm eggs, and unique treats. Enjoy fresh finds, a chat, or a sunny outdoor coffee!"

Econic is such a great hidden gem located in the East End of Glasgow.

Highly recommend a stop here if you're looking for some locally and planet friendly gifts for yourself or a loved ones to bring back from your visit in Glasgow. Or simply have a chat and sit outside with a hot drink catching some rare Scottish sunshine!

Econic has so much more in store than just gifts, the shop is full of carefully selected healthy snacks, amazing alcohol free alternative (great for a post festive indulgence pheraps), coffee alternatives, supplements, eco friendly personal care products, locally handmade soaps and so much more.

I usually stop here weekly on my lunch break to stock up with some fresh bread and the freshest eggs you'll find in Glasgow, straight from a local farm. Trust me I take my eggs seriously and Econic stocks the best ones in town! Although I always leave with at least a new tea or treat to try out.

I have been visiting this shop regularly for some time and I keep on finding new and amazing things to try so pop by and make sure you take your time rummaging around all the little treasures around the shop.

Rafa's Diner

Best Tacos in town

I have only tried their veggie options but the meat options look delicious and my non-veggie friends are obsessed with their Pollo Asado and Barbacoa.
