Papercup Coffee Company Glasgow

A cosy coffee house

""Papercup Coffee Company" Glasgow is a very quaint little coffee & tea house, situated along the bustle of Great Western Road. I love the French toast!"

Papercup is a very quaint little coffee house, situated along the bustle of Great Western Road. There isn't a lot of seating so you need to time your visit carefully (around peak times). It is very much worth the wait: the coffee is delicious and there is so much to choose from! Something to bear in mind is that this is one of few places that is cash only - everything is well priced so it won't do any damage to your purse or wallet!

East enders also have the pleasure of the amazing coffee since Papercup has another spot on High Street. I hear the French toast is wonderful!

They have a small but varied menu to choose from; the French toast is a must and there are suitable options for veggies too! Don't worry if coffee really isn't your thing and you're being dragged here by a caffeine addict, they have a selection of wonderful teas as well. You will find a selection of homemade sweet things to get you through a sugar lull. It's a pretty great place to relax, even if you are on your own.
