Perch And Rest

How fortunate I am to find such delicious coffee! Perch & Rest Coffee is the first one which suits my taste best after I came to Glasgow. Flat white and Cortado are my favorites with mild mouthfeel. What’s more, they provide SOE and I was really impressed with its floral flavor. The baristas here are also friendly so every time when I come here I always feel relaxing

Albeit serving solo, the barista was able to welcome everyone warmly. I can see how serious this place in serving their coffee from bean to cup. And it translated into how good my coffee was. I'm impressed, imagine burst of flavour in a cup. My ultimate coffee in town.

Key pleasures of my trip: - location of the shop. On a quiet stretch of Otago Street in Glasgow. A relaxing walk to the shop which gets one in the right mood - the shop: It is amazing what they have done with the otherwise small foot print. A selection of magazines, coffee brewing equipment and more is on display and available for purchase, yet the lighting and use of open spaces and paint tones means the shop dones not feel crowded! I got a travel mug which was a great help with the rest of my travels - Coffee: I thoroughly enjoyed my latte. I appreciated the option to buy a travel cup which held my coffee warm through to the late evening when I was done with that sweet beverage - Staff recommendations: Do ask the staff for recommendations as I did. I got asked a few preference questions and got recommended my latte, as I was not keen on coffee before my visit, so something that aligned with my tastes was recommended. Since that visit, I am beginning to get into coffee way more My review: Nestled on quiet Otago Street in a rather busy side of town, Perch & Rest is quite a sweet coffee shop. On a nice dry Glasgow day (when does this happen?) it would be great to sit outside and have a chat without the usual noise of busier streets On the wet and mildly overcast day I visited, it was brilliant to walk into the cozy and welcoming shop. Prior to this, I had only had my infrequent coffee from the usual high-street outlets, so was greatly blown away with the latte and custom blend (Burundi, it's called) that I got. Safe to say my standard of acceptable coffee changed. Now I know why you need to go to a coffee shop to enjoy coffee. Sorry highstreet chains, you are missing something. The propreitors were very friendly (well, gladly I knew them from another life but expect they are friendly to more than just myself, as they were to the other customers during my visit!) and took time to recommend a suitable coffee drink as I do not drink it often. I alslo tried one of the custome blends, the Burundi, expecting it to be very bitter but much to the contrary, it was very flavourful! I guess I had not had a proper coffee before this visit! My experience made me realise that there is so much more to coffee! Thank you Perch & Rest Coffee!

I like this place a lot. Nice choice of Coffee, super chill and laid back staff & atmosphere. Lovely wet cake. A jewel in the west end which has surprisingly few decent coffee shops. Highly recommended.

Came with some colleagues today for a work break. First time visiting, but really impressed with the quality of the coffee and cakes. Had a short chat with the member of staff behind the counter about various brewing methods, friendly dude. Looking forward to visiting again.
