A Journey through Time

 


As I finish my journey finding unique coffee spots around Glasgow, the fifth and final spot I will showcase to you is 1841. Situated in the West End of Glasgow, this small spot is a perfect place to enjoy your coffee. Offering a number of different roasts sourced locally and globally, there really is no shortage here of hot drinks to enjoy.

Opening up during lockdown, this new location offers a relaxing atmosphere, with a large focus on community. It offers a wide range of roasts, globally and locally sourced. The most popular being the collaboration they have with Thomson’s Coffee Roasters, one of the oldest roasteries in all of Scotland. They have a fantastic variety of pastries and cakes to accompany your drink of choice, with my personal favourite being the Classic Chocolate Brownie.



The light-filled interior offers a great atmosphere for enjoying your brew, alone or with friends. All the staff were also very attentive and chatty, which created a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

Situated on Vinicombe St, just off Byre’s Road, it sits in a fantastic and central location for those in West End. Additionally, just two minutes walk away is Hillhead subway station, so it’s easy to travel to.




1841 stands out as a fantastic spot to round off my coffee adventure in Glasgow. Its warm ambiance, excellent coffee offerings, and thoughtful menu create a space where both quality and community shine. With its great location in the West End and inviting atmosphere, it’s ideal for relaxing solo or meeting up with friends. If you’re after a memorable coffee experience in the city, 1841 won’t disappoint.


1841 - 14 Vinicombe St Glasgow, G12 8BG

For my first post to this blog I'm starting with the  Ottoman Coffeehouse located at Charing Cross. In other stores you often feel a sense of urgency, whereas here, there was a very laid-back mood that allowed customers to feel at home. With décor and products themed off of their travels to Istanbul, there truly isn’t another place like this in Glasgow. The menu offered a range of items, with numerous products that I had never tried, or in some cases, heard of before. I decided to go for the Original Pistachio Baklava, which was amazing, paired with a latte and an almond biscuit. They also offer a number of different types of coffees, differing from the offerings of usual coffee spots.  My coffee and pastry With the theme of the location based upon Turkish décor, its no wonder the place looked magnificent.
