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 ...

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...
