My fave coffee spot in Glasgow.Their house and Glasgow roast are phenomenal.Service is A+++,they gave us a taste before we purchased a bag of whole beans. 🌺must try for coffee lovers

Good coffee (the taste itself), but by the time my order was ready, the coffee got colder. I like my coffee to be at the right temperature, especially on a cold day. Basically they make the coffee and then your cup waits if you have a flat white / cappuccino etc so the coffee can get cold by the time they add the milk which happend in my case.

Do you get confused by sizes like Venti, Grande, Tall? Do you, also, find yourself not in the Italian Riviera or downtown Seattle, but in fact in the equally culturally rich and globally influential Scottish city of Glasgow? The beating heart of real, post industrial Scotland and birthplace of the Scottish enlightenment that revolutionised Europe. Do you perhaps want embrace and celebrate these facts whilst creating jobs, wealth and culture in this thriving local economy? Well, say no more, pal. Gordon Street coffee, located quite innocuously at the station main entrance, serves only two sizes: Big, and Wee (if that's confusing.. the Wee one costs less.). You can also get cooked breakfast items to-go, Scottish cakes (empire biscuits especially), and coffee shop favourites like croissants and subs. They sell ground coffee and coffee accessories too. Importantly, for a review, the coffee is very good and the service (even in the jam-packed morning commute) is warm and lovely. It's definitely city-centre prices, but if that's what it costs to keep just one last independent café open in the central station area, welcoming all with warm, self aware Scottish tourist tropes and home comforts for locals, then so be it. There's a particular joy, it seems, in celebrating this entrance to Glasgow. Offering tourists their first, much needed, 'big' coffee and a chance to see real Scottish words in action, like in 'Dinne be a roaster' where one could simply write 'don't queue here' instead. It's not just tourists, though, this is a local hotspot too! Good coffee is universal, of course, but a part of me feels that this celebration of culture extends to the proud city dwellers. Supporting not only local business, but the embrace of Scottishness as a powerful, influential, culture-in-action. Not an artefact of the past or media stereotypes. In a high-street of increasingly homogeneous global corporate blandness. Gordon Street Glasgow Central is a place to touch base, to affirm with your daily grind a connection to something deeper, a thriving culture, a proud national identity, a true spirit of place; the proud city of Glasgow.

This place used to have great tasting coffee. Now it's OK at best. The customer service is barely there. Four people behind the counter chatting and having little regard to the people waiting to order.

Been there thrice or four times - curiously last summer when we were holidaying in and around Glasgow and this time when we had a bus journey to Fort William that had a changeover. Great service (they were open super early on a Saturday which was a life saver for me) and great brunch / lunch type foods as well. Location can’t be beat. For something so close to the station, Glaswegians are a lucky lot!

Great americano and fresh hot tea. Plain and chocolate croissant taste very nice. And great staff, too! Perfect location on your way in and out of the central station.

I picked up a couple of bags of beans from here and I can’t say I’m overly impressed. Speciality coffee is always going to be on the expensive side and what I got from Gordon Street Coffee felt a bit overpriced to me. The staff aren’t very knowledgeable on what is on the shelves. They couldn’t even tell me what roast level the coffee I was buying was roasted to, and as there was no indication on the packaging it was a pot luck purchase. Some of the coffee on the shelf is over a month old! Cheaper and better alternatives can be found on-line. It is in a convenient location and is a beautiful shop.

Good coffee shop next to the Central Railway Station in Glasgow. Very busy cafe’ so don’t expect a lot of personal attention- very good place for a quick caffeine boost

Lovely speciality coffee available in wee and big sizes. Their big is standard size coffee elsewhere. A few tables inside. We sat at the tables outside.

Flat white with Glasgow roast. ☕️ A fruity start with a subtly sweet chocolaty aftertaste:) Balanced yet flavorful, rich and at the same time bright, fresh tasting but not the common sour type. I skipped many other cafes to try the Glasgow roast and am not disappointed. Up to now my favorite cup of flat white.

This was a quirky, unique cafe and roastery next to central station in Glasgow. I liked the little extra touches here with the menu (wee for small!) and the free water with grapefruit. Also the art and decor was unique and full of imagination. The coffee itself was really well prepared and tasted great and there was a good selection of cakes and food on offer. I was really impressed by the server, who didn't catch the name of, but had dreadlocks but was really cheerful, and chatty, and made the whole experience way better. Would definitely return again when back in Glasgow. Ideal location for those catching trains.

Service was a bit slow when I went. It wasn't busy either. Nice selection of vegan food, so they do cater for vegans. Sadly, this is another establishment that takes vegans for fools and charges an unjustifiable 50p surcharge for non dairy milk. Places like this should put themselves in the shoes of the customer and see how deeply irritating this is. I will never pay this discriminatory tax.

Friendly, excellent service, perfect coffee and fresh and delicious bakery

I stopped by for an early morning coffee and breakfast. Small seating area upstairs is a nice place to wait for a train. The coffee was superb and the Square sausage roll was a huge slab of sausage with plenty of brown sauce. The perfect breakfast.

sadly went down hill. their take away coffee was boiling hot and tasted so bitter. no coffee should be that hot it can physically burn you:/

Lovely staff and the cafe had a great atmosphere! The coffee was so good I had to get a bag for at home as well. Also if you have a chance, I highly recommend the pecan bun. It was divine

Beyond flat... white. Used to be a 'go-to' for its nice coffee but the quality has definitely fallen short recently, as they rush service. Using only one machine to peddle coffee, be prepared to wait a while, in a cramped waiting area.

The coffee is great, the only downside is the small size of the drinks.

Great coffee and awesome vegan cakes

Defoe get in here lovely wee treat with the best coffee ever and a wee roll while we waited for a train. Will be back here

Always great coffee

Great coffee. Great food. Great service.

I think the coffee here is wonderful! My typical order is a latte and it's great every time. They also have great pastries.

Great coffee! Warm welcome and relaxed comfortable dog friendly venue. Today we had breakfast rolls which were great start to our day. Kila (our dog ) had bowl of water and lots of attention!

What a cup of coffee

I have arranged a monthly delivery of coffee beans on a 12 month subscription from my local roaster in England for many years for my Glaswegian daughter’s birthday. I thought I’d try this place for a change. Most coffee roasters offer a 12 month subscription to be paid as a total one off amount. The subscription website is ambiguous and although I clearly stated I wanted a monthly delivery of one bag for 12 months, 12 bags were sent in one delivery. Despite emails and phone calls to remedy the situation, Gordon St have not responded. Meanwhile my daughter is stuck with 12 bags of coffee and I am £70+ out of pocket. Poor customer service, not even an acknowledgement of my emails.

I love the coffee in this place. I normally order bags online and have tried almost all of the range. Superb quality, great to stop in for a pastry too when in town 👌

Conveniently located at the station, offers fantastic coffee at reasonable price. Baked goods are good quality as well.

Very small little coffee shop that also does some snacks, filled rolls. The coffee was very nice. I would caution anyone who is in a hurry however not to queue and to go elsewhere or go without, I was about 15mins early for my train and with 10 or so people in front of me it took 15mins before my coffee (a simple black coffee) was served and I missed the train. They only have one station making service when its busy VERY slow.

Lovely coffee, great cakes, doing the best atmosphere wise for a coffee shop in Central Station. Certainly worth a go

Nice coffee, very convenient while I had a short wait for a connecting train. Shame its card only yet there's a jar for tips containing coins.

Nice little bustling coffee shop at Central Station. Decent coffee and tasty sandwiches although a little expensive. (£10 for coffee and sandwich). The staff were friendly and helpful and the cafe is dog friendly!

Great coffee and location. Also the food is amazing. Great for staying for a while to study. Definitely recommended.

My train was delayed by over 2 hours, and this was the best place to spend that time. Everyone friendly and welcoming, plenty of room to set up my laptop and get some work done, and really decent coffee :-)

Great coffee and great staff. My favourite coffee shop in the whole wide world.

Amazing coffee, but waiting for order during a rush can be a bit chaotic and confusing. (You'll see a short queue, then a number of people are just propping up the walls while waiting for their drink.) I placed my order within 4 minutes, then waited 15 minutes anxiously listening out for my order.

Stumbled on this cafe on our first day visiting and so glad we did. Good coffee is hard to find in the area ( in the UK actually). Our only negative would be the time it takes to pick up a coffee………. Not very fast. We waited at least 20 mins ( lucky we weren’t catching a train)!! It didn’t perturb is - we returned the next day and enjoyed our caffeine hit! Thanks

Coffee is fantastic, however their filled rolls? Day1 roll and sausage and black pudding with brown sauce - black pudding was below the sausage. So wrong! Day 2 same roll request this time sausage was below the black pudding but the sauce was below the sausage. Really? Cmon guys you are ruining it for me. Day3 roll square sausage and haggis with brown sauce. Argggggghhhhhhh!!!! The sauce is on the bottom AGAIN! SERIOUSLY! ! ! Well it's Friday so my roll had sauce top n bottom. Nothing like going the extra mile for your customer.

Great coffee and breakfast roll

Good coffee stop

Cosy little place...cakes lovely

Recently on line delivery has become unacceptable and increasingly inconvenient. Shall no longer therefore use this company.

Great coffee, great welcome to Glasgow ???

Good independent feeling coffee shop right in the entrance of the train station. It can get super busy, but there’s a reason: good coffee. Well worth stopping by instead of some of the bigger name coffee chains in the station itself. There’s some seating upstairs, not massive but usually a seat or two available

Love this place always friendly staff and food so fresh

Great coffee

Phenomenal latte ?

Always good

Nice atmosphere and good coffee. Perfect if you want to meet someone who's arriving in Glasgow by train.

Very good team here and the coffee is arguably the best in Glasgow, must try the Edinburgh branch when I’m next through.

A great place to buy coffee, just outside Central Station. You can sit in or take away. That also sell coffee beans (preground) for you to use at work or at home.

*Excellent* coffee - roasted on-prem. Also munchies. So yeah, the coffee is really that good. To be precise, the espresso is *excellent*, and about as good as you'd get at your average joint in Italy (which means it is *good*). It's basically counter-service, or you can head upstairs where they roast their coffee, to sit at a small handful of tables there. There are munchies to be had - good sandwiches, and all sorts of pastry-like fare, most of it quite good too. If you're in the 'hood, and you need coffee, you could do far worse...

Gordon At coffee always delivers. The Glasgow Roast is delicious and the size of the slice of square sausage in my morning roll this morning bumped this from a 4 to a 5 star review! (Edit. Picture of my morning roll!)

Great indie spot amongst the many chains. They even roast their own beans.

The coffee was delicious and was kindly served. I've visited this place to kill the time with work until I move on, and this has revealed a little need to upgrade the place: more and properly grounded charging places. Currently, the grounding is not the best and this circumstance along with the steel-edged - standing - desk is not the best combination.

Best coffee I've had in years. Beats every "chain" by miles. Gluten Free cake available also. Belting. 5Star.

Great place. Really good coffee, in quiet area, relatively easy parking, staff are friendly. Altogether, the vibe of the place is great for socializing and reading. One caveat, I have not tried the food ...

Lovely wee coffee place

Very helpful staff

Glasgow dark blend is cracking ?

Not visited

I wouldn't judge them on their cups of coffee, as they're very busy, and if you're looking for an incredible cup you need so go an artisan coffee shop with less footfall so they have more time to craft each cup, but this is still very good. However, they are definitely the best place for a wide range of lovely in-house roasted beans. I buy a bag each week for house and one for office and every week choose a different one. Their loyalty scheme is great too where you get every 8th bag free.

Worth the walk down and back up to Buchanan St bus station for the ? and cappuccino here

Really good coffee

Nice and small coffee shop. Good atmosphere. Unfortunately our coffees were tepid.

The best in town!

Best coffee in Glasgow. Nice decor, handy location and staff are friendly. Does get quite busy at times though!

Great quality food at reasonable prices. Ideal if you are catching a train at Central Station

Very tasty coffee and nice selection of cakes, in a convenient location. I particularly like their layer opening hours for when I need to plough on with some work in the evening.

Poor tasting espresso

Lovely small coffee shop and different from the big chains.

Excellent food and coffee, couldn't be more central and you can see the Coffe being roasted upstairs as well!

Friendly service, good food, handy for quick visit

Lovely coffee and toasted sandwiches

The coffee is great, the problem it’s with the messy beard guy. Anyone who works with the public must have a minimum of respect, whether the client is British or not. The person doesn't have a good appearance, ok, but this guy…he is ugly, miserable and still uneducated! 🙄 The owner should review his concepts more when hiring his employees. I went to get a cappuccino and when I was leaving I looked back and thanked him, but the messy beard just ignored me and turned his face away. So I looked at the girl and thanked her, she returned my smile and kindly responded and treated me with the respect I deserve. The girls are very polite, the problem is the man at the cash register.
