Tibo Dennistoun

 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 ...

Welcome to the COFFICE Review

Hello and welcome to the COFFICE Review! 


I am a third-year business student at the University of Strathclyde, and as part of my marketing course, we have been tasked with creating a blog. I have hummed and hawed with different ideas, but I have finally decided to focus this blog on something very relevant and fairly new to a lot of us...

Throughout this blog I will be reviewing a number of coffee shops (and/or) cafes around the city centre, deciding whether or not they are suitable and can be used as a remote working area/office – hence the title ‘coffice’ (coffee, office… get it?)

Over the past few years, and with a particular shout out to Covid-19, remote working has become more and more popular within the business world, encouraging a demand for remote and co-working spaces across the city centre – which I am looking forward to exploring.

In all honesty, working from home was a struggle for myself, as I know it has been for many others – especially in peak lockdown. With many workplaces opting to continue with remote working, and most of our university classes continuing to take place on zoom, it’s useful for us to know of some social settings where you can work ‘remotely’. 


If you’re like me, you’re probably not always motivated by working from home, surrounded by the same four walls, 5 days a week. Working from home can be isolating, distracting and can take a toll on your mental health – but it doesn’t have to! Getting up, getting ready and getting out the house can make all the difference. 

 

Even if you’re not heading to your usual workplace, the hustle and bustle of the city centre, a wee swatch in the shops on the high street, getting some fresh Glasgow air or looking forward to meeting a friend for a coffee can help lift your mood and boost your motivation to work. 

 



Stick by for the first Coffice Review coming soon!

Costa Coffee

 Hello and welcome back to the COFFICE Review! Today I am reviewing a classic and well-known coffee shop – Costa. In this blog, I have chosen to review a Costa local to me as my classes are taking place online throughout COP26. However, as a big chain, there are Costa stores dotted about everywhere. If you’re looking for somewhere quick and easy to get a bit of work done, there will often be a Costa nearby.    Costa is one of the typical stores that come to mind when thinking of coffee shops. There are at least 3 Costa coffee shops in Glasgow City Centre as well as a number of Costas across the central belt but of course, services and facilities vary across stores depending on their size and location.    The positive about going to a chain coffee shop is that you kind of have an idea of what to expect. I went to Costa knowing I would have access to the internet, access to a plug socket, and, of course, access to coffee and cake. At 10am I opted for coffee and ma...

Wilson St. Pantry Merchant City

 Hello and welcome back to the COFFICE Review! Today, we will be reviewing Wilson St. Pantry. Situated in Merchant City, with a contemporary style interior and relaxed atmosphere Wilson St. Pantry offers breakfast, lunch and great coffee!  I was greeted by a friendly waitress, who was happy to find me a table next to a socket so I could charge my laptop while I worked. She told me before I sat down that they could only offer me a 1 hour time slot. This wasn't really ideal for me but I was late (as usual), so I sat down, got set up, connected to the Wi-Fi and decided I'd figure that one out later (or in an hour to be exact). I will start by telling you, the coffee and food was delicious! I had to mute myself and turn my camera off while I scoffed down my mushroom and spinach version of Eggs Benedict. I won't lie, it was amazing. But this review is not just about the food and coffee. I felt a bit awkward and exposed chatting to my laptop while I was sat within a couple of met...
