    Now, this place is swish. Think authentic Italian espresso bar; smart and sophisticated. Think fresh, delicious sandwiches and baked treats. And of course, coffee. I'll be honest, I can't speak for the coffee. - I'm just not a caffeine kid. That's not to say I don't enjoy a high quality cup of the stuff. But when faced with the option, I'll always pick tea. Herbal, breakfast, bubble. I love it all and I relish a chai latte. Always. So whilst coffee just ain't my thang, the smell of the fresh beans when I arrived was definitely a pleasing one. Despite me being the only person in when I arrived, there was a general busy city feel. The staff were charming and friendly, ensuring I felt welcome and was attended to. It wasn't long before a steady stream of customers were popping in and out and I could indulge in some mid-afternoon people-watching. So whilst Laboratorio Espresso is definitely a coffee lovers' hotspot, I didn't feel at all out of place or unwelcome. There's not a sniff of pretentiousness. - Just passion for good coffee (it sure smelt good!) and food. Boy, oh, boy was the food good! My chicken, mozzarella and rocket toasted sandwich was the kind of sandwich you dream about for days after, the kind you wished would last forever. The chicken was breadcrumbed, packed full of flavour and perfectly tender. Cower in fear, sandwiches everywhere; you've a lot to live up to after that incredibly tasty bread on bread rendition. Perfect chai latte. Perfect sandwich. Perfect service. With a little hustle and bustle thrown in for good measure. People-watching's never been better.

    A splendid coffee and a good read (your book may vary)

    For a long time, I believed that Costa and Starbucks had the best coffee... I'd still make a case for the Starbucks gingerbread latte at Christmas but that's a whole other argument. Then I graduated on to Tinderbox, and that was better. Then, I believed the Where The Monkey Sleeps was the best coffee in Glasgow. Now, I know that I have found coffee nirvana, and it's here. Stopped in today to try it out after seeing a few people checking in on Yelp (see, it does work!) and was pleasantly surprised. To look at, it's not much. It's on the small side, and fairly generically designed. There's a few seats inside, I'd say maybe room for about 10-15 people, with a few more seats outside. Outside seating in January is not my idea of fun, it has to be said! The service was quick. pleasant and just what you would expect at a busy time of the morning. My coffee, though, was the star. Absolutely gorgeous, and prepared to perfection. I think I noticed that they make their own special blend in house, and you can tell. There's no bones about it - I *WILL* be back, and I will have more coffee here. I may even dabble with some of the pastry.

    Pistachio Aragostine - delicious!
    Gordon M.

    Great Italian coffee, excellent choice of (small) cakes and snacks, in a tiny concrete and wood setting. What's not to like? My flat white was perfectly served, with a delicious roast giving a good dark kick. I particularly like the fact the pastries on offer are small (2 or 3 bites) rather than the massive muffins and danish pastries you get elsewhere. Much nicer for a 'wee something' than the usual stodge. My Pistachio Aragostine was wonderfully crisp, with a creamy sweet pistachio filling, and disappeared quickly! It's small inside so I can imagine seats would be at a premium during busier hours, but it's well laid out, good tunes playing in the background and I'll happily be back. Only downside for me was the lack of any kind of atmosphere. That may be harsh as it was early on a Saturday morning, but the stripped back decor makes it 'feel' a little cold and unwelcome, almost austere? Importantly the coffee was great, smooth, dark and I'll be taking a very VERY fussy friend along to try the expresso - if they pass that test I'll be upgrading to a 5-star review!

    I love this espresso bar - please note I have only just started drinking coffee so an update will be on the cards once I get to sample it! On my previous visits I've indulged in the tea as well as some of the food options. I really like the lunch options (made by Eusebi Deli) - simple, delicious and packed with flavour. They do sell really quickly though, so if you fancy getting a bite to eat you might need to get in early! With simple, modern decor and not much seating, this place is more suited to grabbing a coffee and food and going. Personally, I'm a sit in person but this doesn't stop me going the full 5 stars for this fabulous addition to the city centre.

    My wee espresso!!

    Having visited Laboratorio Espresso on several occasions, I can assure you that this is without a shadow of a doubt the best coffee in the City Centre. This is where I tried my first ever Aeropress and Scott (The Manager I think) was happy to make some recommendations on which one to try. Just the their day I decided to try an espresso and can honestly say, it was delicious. Staff are excellent, friendly and happy to talk to you about their various espresso and filter options. Haven't tried the Cannoli but I have heard good things!! These guys have recently changed there espresso over to Has Bean and I would now give it 6 stars if I could!!

    Flat White and a Cappuccino
    Lainy S.

    Now this is what I call a flat white! Today I went on a coffee date with my friend and when he asked where I wanted to go I immediately chose here. I'd heard great things about their coffee and knowing that he loves a cappucino I immediately suggested here. We ordered our coffees and I got a cannoli limon as a little treat with mine. We sat outside (in mid-October!) and our coffees were brought to us really quickly. I love a good bit of coffee art and the cute little foamy heart on top of my flat white was a good touch. The flat white was beautifully smooth, just the way it should be and as I added a little brown sugar to it the last few sips were like caffienated golden caramel. Yum! My cannolli was lovely too with a sharp lemon cream filling. It was a lovely contrast to the coffee of the flat white. As we sat outside I didn't really get the chance to take in the decor and atmosphere of the place and so I'm withholding that final star until such times I can go and grab lunch here and sit for a while. First impressions though are that Lab Espresso are doing one of the meanest flat whites in Glasgow City Centre.

    Oh dear cappuccino con cannoli
    Laurence D.

    Simply the best coffee in the city centre. Period. Go, try their....anything you fancy and I promise you'll love it. I've had the flat white, the cappucino, the americano, and they were all gorgeous. Next on my list is the macchiato. They also do little treats, in an italian-UK fusion style, where cannoli are sitting next to brownies. The chocolate cannoli are to die for....I suspect they are made with Nutella, or a Nutella base, but I don't mind: Nutella is as italian as it gets anyway. The look and feel of the place is also great, very simple but really trendy and cosy at the same time. My personal crush goes to the light blue and red assorted cups. So, if you are a bit of a coffee snob like me, and want a change from the usual Nero, Starbucks and other places where coffee taste goes to die, try Laboratorio Espresso!

    Double shot (as standard) Americano with 1/2 hot water
    Jeevan M.

    Fantastic wee coffee shop in the centre of town. There's a real absence of good, independent coffee shops in the centre & thankfully we now have this place. All coffees are brewed with a double shot of coffee. Prices for coffee range between £2 - 3, representing great value. There's a cute case full of treats to munch on while watching the world pass by. The decor is very sleek, with grey stone walls & wooden borders. The fact that they use dear green coffee makes it all the more awesome. This is a great wee addition to the Glasgow coffee scene

    This chocolate and raisin (with cherry on top) flapjack was so good. Ridiculously expensive at £2.50 though.

    I stopped in for a quick coffee and pastry this past Monday...or Wednesday...bloody hell where has the week gone! Aaaaaanyway, I had been recommended the Lab by Community Overlord Briony C. in a bid to combat the Starbucks addiction I suffer from and thankfully, this was a positive step forward. Located up on West Nile St (behind Forever 21), this coffee house is more fashionable than Alexa Chung wearing a Ramones T-shirt. Its bare minimalist design with slate walls and plain woodblock furniture make it a great place for those of the MacBook/horn-rimmed glasses persuasion. The blog espouses a dedication and fandom of the Milanese style but let's face it, it was a Monday (or Wednesday), pissing down, Glasgow morning; so I was feeling about as Italian as a haggis supper. That being said, it looked very nice and I'll definitely be trying out a wee meal or breakfast in the near future. As for the coffee, which surely is the main event, I can only say bravo! They made a truly superb wee cappuccino. I asked for a regular, which was a bit on the small side but I then realised that that was only because they didn't half fill the cup with foam like other places do. I forgot to ask what blend they were using so I'll check in again and report back. The pan-au-raisin was alright. I should have went for a slice of cake, which looked much nicer. Four stars.

    I am always interested to try new independent coffee shops and I had read good things on yelp and I was looking forward to giving this place a go today. First impressions were good as the staff were really friendly and I liked the industrial look of the place. They specialise in espresso based drinks and had the full range to offer. Recently I have moved to drinking black filter coffee instead and that is my preference to milky espresso based drinks. Surprisingly for me they had no hot filter options at all. This seemed pretty unusual in my opinion, but they did offer me a cold filter coffee that had been brewing overnight. Cold drip filter coffee is the "in" coffee trend at the moment, so I decided to have one for a change. It was actually quite nice, but it did need the vanilla milk in it as well to sweeten it up as otherwise it could have just seemed like over stewed cold coffee. I went with the intention of having some food as well, but it turns out they don't do it on Sundays as the deli they buy them from does not open on a sunday. This was a bit disappointing to be honest. Instead I went for a small hard pasty with lemon in it which was fine, bit not amazing. Nice place, doing decent coffee, but not particularly ground breaking in terms of current "coffee shop culture".

    Strong and Small, Divided Opinion. Visited one sunny day to get our daily double shot and at least one of us wasn't too disappointed with our fix. There's no doubt that it's small and this seems to have rubbed off on to the food as well as the 1 size coffee. My normal size macchiato was sublime, with subtle overtones of bitter raspberry chocolate and the 8oz Americano was a double with a dash of acqua. Strong, small and possibly not to everyone's taste, inc. J's, especially if you're into Costa type coffees. The food selection includes mini pastries and Cannolis at £1.50 each and unnecessarily small paninis at £4.50 to £4.75 ish. I think the panini prices are a tad above reasonable, but reserve any more judgment until tasted. However, I'd probably be inclined to delve into the creamy cannolis first. I loved the decor, charcoal tile, wood and faux polished concrete walls giving a modern, clean architectural feel, but warming too. Although J's first comment was that the seats weren't comfy and the space between the seat and static table was too wide. Ok, so coffee great for me, but not for her, I dug the concrete effect walls, but she picked holes in the layout. However, we both agreed that the staff were top notch, I think?

    I love this place! It is stylish and modern, yet extremely cozy. The service is great, the coffee of high quality and the WiFi faster than my own! Your coffee comes in a blue cup, and always with water and a little biscuit on the side. Perfection. This is paradise for coffee lovers with a demand for quality. Only downside is that the seats are limited, so you have to be a bit lucky to get one ;-)

    I do love a good cake counter
    Kath R.

    Sniffed out Laboratorio Espresso a wee while ago by chance really; being near the top of West Nile Street it's not an obvious coffee hangout. First thing to point out, it's not just espresso on offer (as my non-coffee drinking friend first thought when I took her, the panic on her face was priceless!), I believe they do a fairly decent cuppa cha too according to her. They also have a scrummy cake cabinet, highly recommend giving the velvet chocolate brownie a whirl, and I've spotted a few Italian treats like cannoli's in there too (oh they're an Italian inspired coffee bar by the way, which some of the décor eludes to if you're paying attention). It is quite wee though...maybe only has seating for 10-12 inside (a couple of tables and the rest is stools and perfect for people watching) but has seating outside which could double capacity (on a nice day!). Wifi is free so it doubles as a nice spot for working too. They're also part of Glasgow's Independent Coffee scene stocking Dear Green so pick up a wee card, collect a stamp in each coffee venue (10 in total) and enjoy a freebie once it's all stamped up! It's also an excuse to work your way round lots of other fab Indie coffee places yay! I wouldn't say this was my top choice for coffee in town but it is definitely worth a visit if you're in the vicinity.

It's not my ideal location for afternoon tea as it's loud and busy but it didn't bother us as we weren't there for the atmosphere. The two ladies working there were really friendly and took our drinks orders quickly. We both ordered tea. I love the tea a Patisserie Valerie because it's loose leaf and served in a suki teapot. We decided to sit outside and watch people go by. It was a Saturday afternoon so very busy. Our food came really quickly. I was very pleased to see scones and real clotted cream. We were also given a selection of mini jam jars which was a nice touch. Sandwiches were also really nice. The cakes on top weren't bad but it wasn't something I'd personally choose, except for maybe the chocolate one. I'm saying a-okay because I felt the tables were too small, and also the tables didn't appear to have been wiped down in a while. The staff didn't really come outside to clear things away when others had left either. But I'd say overall fast friendly service and yummy food!

I bought a coffee and a box of macarons to take to the meeting. The coffee curing my hangover and the macarons made my colleagues even happier than I expected. They were delcious, sweet, cruncy, smooth and light. Everything a good macaron should be. So lets call that a 5 star experience. The sitting in occasion was slightly less perfect. I ordered a latte and a frangipane tart and I took a seat. There were a few other people in the cafe but it was far from busy. The staff were nice enough and my order arrived relatively quickly. Unfortunately my coffee was awful. It's not often that I abandon caffeine but this time I was forced to. The tart was ok - I'd order it again but it wouldn't go to the top of the list. So lets call that a 3 star experience. I guess that's why on balance it gets four stars. Realistically, that sounds about right. I hope the nasty coffee was a one off because I'm bound to be temped back in by the cakes soon enough.

Ok, so I'm a geek. Then, this place was made for me, right? Well actually, this is more for the comic book geek kind of person, but I was still tempted to go along to see what this place was like. It just opened (on Saturday) so I wasn't expecting much. It is pretty easy to see with the signage (look for black/yellow hazard tape coloured signs), and you head down a set of stairs with some seriously cool comic wallpaper. Into the main room and your eyes will be hit with walls of bright yellow and fluro lights. You'll find a cafe, lots of seating, comics as well as figurines and some locally made crocheted characters too. There was a guy standing near the cafe to "brief" people as they came in, if they walked in looking bewildered and confused like I did. I really appreciated this as he was super friendly and chatty without being pushy or overbearing. There was quite a lot of people in here for a Thursday lunch time seeing as it just opened, and in fact they'd sold out of hot dog rolls as well as a couple of paninis, so they must be doing well. I settled for a cupcake (with a batman logo) and had a seat. There is plenty of seating although I imagine if it got busier, you might have to share a table with a stranger (not necessarily a bad thing!). They have a display of comics for you to read while you eat which I thought was pretty cool, as well as board games to play (just leave a £5 deposit). They are still ironing out some things - they are getting wifi, so at the moment it's a reception black hole with no phone/internet (what is a geek to do?!) but I imagine that once that is sorted this would be a pretty good place to hang out for a geek-out. They sell a bunch of American themed snacks and lollies (candy/sweeties) if you are so inclined. I liked the vibe of this place. Geeky - obviously, but also friendly, relaxing and (dare I say it) a bit cool. Nice one, guys!

It's upstairs on the first floor around from the food court. I get the look they're going for (cosy Italian cafe) but I have to say it doesn't quite work yet, probably because they're in a shopping centre. The space seems a little stark at the moment. I was taken in by the display at the counter so headed in to have a look - the guy serving was super friendly and welcoming which was nice. I decided to get a couple of cakes to try and he explained to me what they were - frolla are a type of cake from Naples made with ricotta and they have different flavours. I got two chocolate ones and then a ricotta and pear one. Normally £2 each but I got the 10% off discount. I tried them when I got home and was really impressed - they're quite unusual, not like any cake I've had before and were really tasty. You could tell they're made fresh. They also sell savoury food if cake isn't your thing - cannelloni, lasagne, pizza rustica, potato croquettes - all made fresh in their kitchen out the back. You can also buy a whole one if you want something for dinner rather than just a slice. Plus they do coffees etc if you just want coffee and cake to eat in. I'll definitely be back. It's nice to see something a bit different in St Enoch aside from the food court options!

Yes, it's certainly not what I was expecting to pop up in this slightly unfashionable shopping mall. So, Ddoce is a completely new concept for Glasgow, a real Southern Italian style Pasticceria. There are very few places in town that do real Italian pastries and the ones that do, often serve up Sicilian style cannoli. However Ddoce specialises in the famous 'Sfogliatelle' from the Campania region of Italy. The Sfogliatelle come in various forms, from the most popular Riccia, which is a flaky, very crispy filled pastry with a delicious ricotta and orange innard, to the simple short crust Frolla with various delicious fillings like creme patissiere, chocolate creme etc. On my first visit I wanted to try a bit of everything so I kindly treated the office to a selection of sweets and I bagged a little arrancino for myself. The arrancino was nice, but much smaller than the ones I am accused to in Italy. The rice was coated in a nice ragu and it had a stringy mozzarella middle that served me well on the walk up the road. All the pastries were good and very similar to what I've eaten in Italy. Sfogliatelle aren't quite my favourite style of pastries so it will be interesting to see what the Glaswegians make of them. My favourite pastry was the Black Cherry and creme pat Pasticciotto. Simply delicious!! At £2.50 it ain't cheap, but it's a nice wee treat and I find it better value than what many other cafes dish up. I suppose you gotta bare in mind that all this stuff is shipped in from Naples, so for that price it ain't too bad! Also on offer is savoury dishes like Lasagna, Cannelloni, Pizza Rustica. The portions looked reasonable and the food looked authentic. Next time I visit I will definitely be trying this stuff along with a coffee (which looked good)! Although this place would make a killing in the more hip West End part of town, I hope that people Glasgow head along to try something a little different.

First you go down an alley, only to reveal a secret enclave of an antique store, corner shop, and the tearoom. The square itself is fun to explore and great for photos. Once we sat down in the charming tearoom, we were greeted by a friendly and accommodating server. We ordered the afternoon tea. There was a perfect balance of sweet and savory with yummy finger sandwiches and delectable scones with clotted cream and jam. This is a lovely afternoon tea spot for all ages!

I had their house chai and their London fog, both of which were creamy and SO flavorful and served in the loveliest teapots. The finger sandwiches and cakes were also really good and I actually did leave full, as did my travel companions. The servers were friendly and checked in often, and the place itself was actually fairly big (had 2 floors and we sat in a corner on the second floor), but it had a quant feel. The cost per person was reasonable in my opinion at £16 per person for a mini pot of tea and selection of sandwiches and tea cakes. We really enjoyed our experience there and I would recommend it to anyone looking to have a lovely afternoon tea!
