    Bike friendly epitome of relaxed coffee shop chill. Glass, bare brick and play box filled with good beans and sound humans. Sitting in the sun working away on a laptop I felt cool (despite knowing this is not the case) and at home. I could have spent all day drinking coffee, eating cake and listening to nice bops in the southside sunshine. Bikes beans and coffee daydreams, why did I leave again?

    Lovely place for a coffee but unfortunately I’ve found some of the staff to be quite rude. I live nearby and enjoy popping over, but it lets the place down. Everyone I take there comments on it…! That said, some of the staff are lovely and you get what you pay for. It’s lovely to sit outside and I’m glad it’s been a success. A real asset to Kinning Park.

    The loveliest most welcoming barista and she knows her job well. I had a perfect cappuccino and a delicious almond cake. Both were really really good. Cappuccino had a great taste, perfect ratio and consistency. Cake had balanced sweetness, smooth cream cheese frosting topped with tasty blueberry compote, small but dense and filling. Didn’t feel like the place to sit-in for me today, maybe I’ll try a sit-in experience another day. I had it as takeaway and went to the park just few steps away.

    Latte and hot chocolate were decent for the price, but I'd expect more friendly staff. The ladies took my order was acting as if I owed them 1,000 pounds.

    The person behind the counter was friendly and chatty with the person he was serving. When we ordered our coffee to go his face dropped. He was quite frosty and we felt unwelcome. Maybe we don't fit in with the hipster aesthetic?

    Amazing coffee and great vibe. Loved the ambient tunes. Cool design piece in the toilets also. I have had the coffee previously but this was my first time in the cafe. Impressed!

    I'm from the south, and I can tell you right now I've searched and not found an almond croissant as nice as what I had here! Thinking of flying up for another sometime... Also a very interesting old roasting machine from the old days, and they export their own coffee.

    One of my favourite coffee shops. Great value, the doughnuts are particularly good. Outdoor space is great when the suns out. Staff are always friendly. Signs up saying no laptops due to covid restrictions so don't know if they're keen on having people working there if thats something you might be looking for. Bathroom facilities are available but only one at a time system.

    The staff are friendly and helpful with choice of coffee. They always seem able to pick a coffee beans accordingly to me preference . Refill tins are a great idea for helping with less waste . Will continue to reuse

    Have been going to Good Coffee Cartel for many years now and go through a kilo of their coffee at home every few weeks too. It’s my favourite coffee place in Glasgow by far and that is saying something as there are loads of good spots now. Some come and go but this place has managed to remain solid even during the pandemic. Also happy when I go to another cafe and they are using good coffee cartel beans :)

    Perfect little place for your own space. Coffee’s are freshly made but the carrot cake had an unusual taste to it. The top layer was nice but middle was slightly salty. Atmosphere is great, lovely staff always love to come here on a weekend for some peace and quiet.

    Torn between a 4 and a 5 stars here. Outstanding coffee at very reasonable prices with friendly staff. Not the best for sitting in though as it was quite cold on my visit (don't think the radiator was turned on!) and quite barebones - definitely more a takeout kinda place or go in the summer when it's warmer.

    My favourite coffee place. Stumble upon this place just few minutes from the subway. I love how friendly and kind the staffs are. The served on of the best flat white I've ever experience in Glasgow. Tha place have enough sitting, clean and decorated toilet. They roast their own coffee so expect that delicious smells lingering around the room. A perfect mood for my cup of coffee.

    Been to this coffee shop several times and it is one my go to places in Glasgow for exceptional coffee. It has a real Melbourne cafe vibe and the coffee is very very good. The café has several nice seating areas and there is ample parking at the front. They have coffee beans for sale which I have tried at home multiple times which were great. Highly recommend here if you are in the area and on the hunt for a great coffee.

    So the coffee here is right up there with my other two favourite coffee places in Glasgow Bit out of the way but handy for work these guys have nailed the art. Please open somewhere in the west end and I'll come every day, easily one of the best flat whites I've ever had. Lovely people too which is always a bonus, I'm not torn between 4 coffee houses in Glasgow for the one I prefer the most

    This tucked away place is worth the trip. The coffee is simply said awesome- the vibe is relaxed and has seating both for working at with your laptop or a relaxed catch-up with friends. You can even buy freshly ground coffee to take home. Their quirky toilet is worth a visit as well - like an art piece a plexiglass has been put between a staircase to... and the wash basin. This place is full of delightful details. Definitely going again!

    I got an awesome coffee 'flight' for a bit of variety. Options well explained by the patient gent behind the counter. Other half opted for the flat white and was v impressed with it and the pattern in the milk art! Tasty food selection as well. Quality coffee off the beaten track, will recommend to others!👌🏻

    Great wee spot. Very chilled and easy going. Had my dog and my toddler with me and we felt very welcomed. The outdoor seating area through the back was the ideal spot for the lovely weather. Oh, and the coffee is superb!

  • 3/5 Ali S. 1 year ago on Google
    Tried on 2 occasions 2 years apart. Cappuchino was so light that I could barely feel any flavour. Tasted more milk than coffee and was not fragrant at all.

  • 5/5 Ross M. 5 years ago on Google
    My new favourite coffee shop. Nice atmosphere, good coffee and good cakes from freedom bakery. More cushions on the window seats would make this place even better.

  • 5/5 Sean C. 4 years ago on Google
    My local and my favourite coffee shop in Glasgow. Sustainable ethos, fantastic coffee(!!!), helpful staff, chill vibes, fast wifi, fair prices. A great place to do a bit of work I love the deposit system for take-away coffee. A common thing in cities like Brussels, Good Coffee is leading the way in Glasgow on reducing waste with this and the refillable coffee containers. The only thing that could be improved: I don't see any info on where the coffee beans are sourced from beyond the country - i.e. are they ethically produced? All round, the highlight of the area.

  • 5/5 Agnes O. 3 years ago on Google
    If you saw me creepily stare right into the shop with my face almost against the glass, I was actually.. staring creepily into the window, but not for the nice coffee-grinding, sticker-issuing shop person. It was meant for my friend who wasn't looking. Anyway, if you could move the open/closed sign not to be behind the horse picture, that would be really helpful from afar.

  • 5/5 peter s. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best coffees in town. Lovely and knowledgeable staff and great selection of their own coffee. Would definitely recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Hassen S. 5 years ago on Google
    I'm not a big coffee person but this was the nicest one I've had. Good service. For the avoidance of doubt they only do coffee. No tea or hot chocolate etc.

    Such a cool place so minimal but so relaxing and Todd is such a good laugh

  • 4/5 Caterina B. 4 years ago on Google
    About the most hipster decor you can find in a coffee shop, but really cool place with nice vibes. Quality coffee and cakes. No lunch options, would be nice if they have this too sometime! We had a tahini brownie and a peanut blondie, really nice.

    Your coffee is out of this world

  • 5/5 David J. 2 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    I have a modest espresso setup at home (modded DeLonghi Dedica) but can’t afford a grinder. I buy my coffee beans in-store (£7/250g) and the staff are super helpful in understanding your equipment and help in getting the right grind size. I’m now able to pull perfect shots working from home with great extraction and crema. Can’t recommend these guys enough.

👍👍 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!
