  “I've walked by this many times and always noticed the delicious baked items in the window display. Amazingly different style of cakes. Well worth a visit.”

  “Great customer service. Bought some beans and asked to grind them for expresso machine, but realised they were ground too finely when making the coffee at home. Folks at SLB were happy to exchange the ground coffee for new beans. Thanks guys!”

  “If you are looking for delicious coffee then I’d recommend Short Long Black - it never disappoints. I’m quite fussy with oat milk, don’t massively love all brands but the oat milk SLB uses is yummy! I’d recommend an iced oat milk latte. The pastries are delicious and good vibes all round.”

  “The morning bun is elevated to high art. SLB maintains a humble-but-superior position as one of Victoria Roads most appealing coffee and bake dispensers, which have arguably helped to keep the street mostly clear of international chains. The team will semi-regularly experiment with new drink ideas, often proudly going against the grain to sample flavours and ideas that are available, right down to limited batch, in-house syrups. Cats may not be swung inside, but take a leaning position at the end of the bar at the top of the shop, and be the envy of the more time-poor southside patrons that frequent this miniature institution.”

  “Note to staff: You work in a job where you interact with members of the public. Really nice, friendly and warm people from will come into your store to purchase coffee and baked goods from you. Did you know this when you applied for the job? Normally this type of job attracts affable and social people—Not at SLB! Maybe they’re passionate about coffee. Milk steaming enthusiasts. Bun icing experts. Box folders. One thing they’re certainly not is social or friendly. The staff here would all be more suited to background roles as opposed to customer facing roles. More behind the scenes kind of people.. screenwriters instead of actors. In short: the weird hipster vibe doesn’t suit. You’re on Victoria Road. A diverse and working class area with lots of really great people — try get to know them. Having worked in the hospitality industry for 20 years my unsolicited advice would be to get new staff. Hire locally.”

  “Stumbled upon this cozy coffee shop near Victoria Park and was seriously impressed. I had the iced mocha and an everything bagel, and both were absolutely delicious! The mocha was perfectly balanced—not too sweet, with a rich coffee flavor and just the right amount of chocolate. The bagel was fresh, and had that perfect chewy texture, loaded with dill cream cheese. Such a charming spot with friendly vibes— Highly recommend if you’re in the area and craving something tasty and satisfying!”

  “This was nowhere near specialty coffee—it tasted purely like milk. The barista used a single shot for the flat white, and naturally, it just tasted like milk. When I pointed it out, she confirmed it was just one shot. I explained that the coffee was too milky and that a flat white should have a double shot, to which she replied, "alright." In the end, I paid for an overpriced glass of milk.”

  “The best pastries I've tried in Glasgow so far!! The cinnamon bun was fluffy and big, the chocolate croissant was so perfectly flaky. I've also tried their focaccia sandwiches, delicious and airy. The only problem is that there is nowhere to sit and enjoy in the cafe sadly! Queen's Park at least is very close by so this is the perfect place to grab something and enjoy it in the park.”

  “Very lovely and tasty pastries from Burnfield bakery! Pumpkin and caramel croissant was a little too intense (in a kind of good but sickly way).”

  “A place where coffee is taken seriously. They serve their own roast beans in the espresso. The cups are made of beautiful ceramics. Also, I had an excellent muffin topped with cream cheese icing. Food in general looks great although I haven't tasted it yet. Will repeat again! Thanks for the great contribution to the Southside coffee scene guys! Kudos ✌🏽”
