    Honestly I feel this is the best coffee "on" Great Western Road. The iced coffee tastes like a smooth coffee ice-cream? And they always have a great choice of cakes and pastries. Never super busy. I think it's a hidden gem as you can't spot it from the road.

    Great cafe with top tier coffee and brilliant cakes. Please start doing Empire Biscuits! My only complaint is that I've passed by here numerous times for takeaway up to 20 mins before closing and been turned away because they're already shutting. A bit annoying!

    A cute cafe beside the Kelvin river. Once you’re inside it has a spacious open feeling. The indoor and outdoors blends well so you don’t feel shut away. Also has outdoor seating for the sunnier days. -

    Cosy and so nice cakes and coffee. Next time I will try a soup!

  • 5/5 Sarah L. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing cafe with the BEST and most unique grub options around! Tucked away by the metro it gets the evening sun :) There’s no WiFi, so not much of a study place but bringing a book on the weekday for a matcha and a bite to eat is idyllic. 🙌 Amazing and friendly staff!

  • 5/5 bokyung l. 2 years ago on Google
    I love this place! Cozy area with calm, friendly staffs. I had been here more than 4 time since this year and I feel shame that I had not been here before! Awesome brunch menus, reasonable price, delicious teas and coffees (I love their decaf teas)

  • 5/5 Carla M. 2 years ago on Google
    Incredible artisan coffee, a cute and charming atmosphere, and lovely fresh bakes on the counter. Located right adjacent to Kelvinbridge station and park, this place is the perfect little coffee nook for true coffee lovers!

  • 5/5 Eric J. 5 years ago on Google

    Really chill place to meet up or work. And dog friendly!

  • 4/5 Stacey S. 5 years ago on Google
    Sweet little place! But when I say little, I mean tiny. One of my mate's favorite places to meet for coffee...if we can nab a seat!

  • 5/5 Andre 5 years ago on Google
    My fave latte. Good place to enjoy coffee/tea and delicious cakes, but irregularly closed at times.

  • 5/5 Mark P. 5 years ago on Google
    Lovely cafe, great coffee, good food, cosy and friendly. Tiny and popular so not guaranteed to get a table, but worth looking in ikf you're in the West end

  • 5/5 AlvaRo m. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice atmosphere. Great people in there. The coffee are really good and the cinnamon rolls spectacular.

  • 5/5 Emily K. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful cakes. Cinnamon buns best in the West End, blackberry and yoghurt cake also delicious. Coffee and service top rate.

  • 5/5 Christopher L. 2 years ago on Google
    Caitlin was a delight! I felt absolutely blessed to be a part of her baking experience. When I tasted the foccacia I just HAD to meet the baker, if you want quality and a warm atmosphere then Kelvin Pocket is somewhere you can have your foccacia and eat it! Seriously troops this is star baker quality stuff!

  • 5/5 Bev M. 2 years ago on Google
    Tremendous coffee & dog friendly! I also had a tasty lemon iced bun last time I was in, which was divine.

  • 5/5 JLo 1 year ago on Google
    Favourite place for tea, coffee light lunches and cake. Vegan cafe, though I'm not, but excellent food and always friendly service. Recommended.

  • 5/5 Wee D. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely artisanal coffee, (but not pretentious or weird) nice chilled out vibe. Strongly recommend.

  • 5/5 Arthur L. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely little coffee shop! Their coffee is really good and I haven't had a single bad cup so far (been there quite a lot). Sandwiches and baked goods are delicious and there's always a nice variety of options. Definitely worth the visit.

  • 4/5 Michelle B. 1 year ago on Google
    Cute coffee shop, that you might not know is there. Lots of yummy looking cakes and savories. Lovely vibe. Well worth a visit

  • 5/5 Katie T. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Tom S. 1 year ago on Google
    lovely place, very nice coffee and baked goods. gunna swing by again earlier in the day to catch the toast!!

  • 3/5 Sarah G. 1 year ago on Google
    I love Kelvin Pocket , the stuff very friendly the vibes amazing, the coffee ♥️ literally every things, but today I ordered white chocolate pudding and it was a disappointment, I literally could taste the butter and smell the eggs, it wasn’t even baked well I think, i felt sad that i had to pay for it actually.

  • 5/5 J M. 1 year ago on Google
    Always wonderful. Nice buns, nice chat, good healthy options for light lunch. Often full. Often full of dogs. Has floor space for a dog or pram too.

  • 5/5 Tony M. 4 months ago on Google
    Food was really top notch for a small cafe. Very good coffee too. Nice staff, not the comfiest seat but I'm being picky. Highly recommend a visit. Also does take away.

  • 5/5 Karyna T. 6 months ago on Google
    A small and cozy place located near the metro. The atmosphere of the coffee shop is incredible, the staff are very polite and friendly! Coffee tastes so good!! And the brownies were incredible!🌻

    “What has it got in its Pocketses?” Perhaps not a magic ring,but this hobbit hole, craftily sequestered, if you will close to the “underground”world of Glasgow’s mercurial hobbits - has enough for breakfast, second breakfast and 11’s. A place where Tolkien, Lewis, Augustine and Aquinas all could easily have written their tomes of academic fortitude while sipping an espresso or macchiato! ( not suitable for the fragile literature of Potter-types). The coffee was as it says on the cup “decent“ I wasn’t able to identify the beans of said flat white but a return visit with an espresso in mind might reveal “the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true! Right? “ we shall see! The chocolate brownie was gf and again decent. A place where the Telegraph and the Guardian maybe found among the coterie of those who still prefer the book or the broadsheet to the tablet. I look forward to my next adventure

    Made an amazing matcha latte, need I say more.

  • 5/5 Gabriel J. 7 months ago on Google
    Really lovely cafe tucked away from the busy streets of Glasgow. Great place to grab a well made coffee and a quick bite. Would recommend their focaccias. Staff are always lovely too.

  • 5/5 Kris P. 5 years ago on Google
    The finest coffee in the land - first time coming here and will definitely be back. Perfectly smooth and with an excellent flavour.

  • 5/5 Kuba 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Lea T. 5 years ago on Google
    Beautiful little cafe with cakes and great coffe. Some of the cakes are vegan and oat and soy milk are available. The inside is nice and cosy. There is also a small outside seating area. A good place to grab a coffee and a treat before or after walking through Kelvingrove park!

  • 4/5 Patrick T. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely wee coffee shop with nice food. Limited options and limited seating, but a good stop for coffee!

  • 5/5 Hannah M. 4 years ago on Google
    Kelvin Pocket is one of my absolute favourite little cafes in the West End of Glasgow. It's a lovely bright space which is very accessible from Great Western Road and Kelvinbridge subway station. The coffees are delicious, the baking is heavenly and everything caters to many different diets. The staff are all delightful too, and always make me feel very welcome. My only small gripe would be that it's not a great place to hang for extended periods as it can be a tiny bit chilly and there's only one toilet. Don't let that stop you visiting this wee gem though! When you go I highly recommend the cheese scones 😊

  • 5/5 Daniel 6 years ago on Google

👍👍 An excellent experience at Miller and Carter tonight. The food came out quickly and was so incredibly delicious - the steak was cooked to perfection and the beef dripping sauce was to die for! All steaks come with house fries they can up upgraded to chunky chips or sweet potato fried but we honestly...
