Hello and welcome to the final 'Coffice' Review! Today, I'm reviewing Tibo, a contemporary style coffee shop/cafe based on Duke Street in Dennistoun, just a 10-15 minute walk from the university and city centre. I was recommended this coffee shop by one of my cousins who praised their great coffee, tasty food and chilled vibe. After my 15 minute walk, I saw a Tibo Takeaway sign on my right hand side with the shutters closed and instantly regretted my decision to walk all this way for a coffee. But before turning back, luckily, I looked up and to my left was the Tibo Bistro, and to my relief it was open! So keep in mind, if you're thinking of visiting, they have a takeaway shop and a sit-in cafe - if one is closed the other might be open. When I was seated I asked to be sat next to a plug for my laptop. There are limited seats with plug sockets nearby, and the ones that did have plug sockets were already taken, so unfortunately I couldn't get sat next to a plug to ...
Hello and welcome to the first COFFICE Review!
I made my way along Ingram Street and passed the typical places – Pret, Tinderbox, iCafe - but I was looking for something a bit different.
I felt like I had walked too far. After sleeping in and being up all night with my three-year-old I was in desperate need of a coffee. So, I made a U-turn and that’s when I spotted Spitfire Espresso. On the corner of Ingram Street and Candleriggs with wooden benches sitting outside. It was busy for 9am on a Friday morning so I took this as a good sign and headed in.
Speaking of breakfast… the first thing I did was order a cappuccino and poached eggs on toast which definitely hit the spot. I probably chose the plainest option considering the creativity of the menu (which offers plenty for veggies!) Spitfire offers all-day breakfasts, sandwiches, a variety of different coffees/hot drinks and to top it off they also offer a mix of alcoholic beverages if that’s the kind of thing you’re needing to get through your next zoom call.
In terms of remote working, this espresso bar is a great spot, especially for strath students with it being a 5 min walk from the university. They offer free WIFI and accessible plug sockets to charge your phone or laptop and to top it off the staff were all super friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back here, whether it’s to work remotely or just to try something different on their menu. The only downside, of course, was the trek back up that hill to get to my tutorial!
