Best KPortal Reviews

I had a lovely time at Perch & Rest Coffee, this is a cosy and friendly coffee shop. The staff were very attentive and the coffee was delicious plus their cakes are tasty and fresh. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing spot to enjoy props coffee while in Glasgow.
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
If you are looking for a filter coffee pour over method then this’s a good cafe to visit. Small selection of pastries.
Slow service when it’s busy.
Pricy
Staff needs to smile and be more welcoming
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.
Always wanted to visit here as I enjoy niche coffee spots. This place was brilliant! Off the beaten track, with amazing coffee and cakes. Will definitely be back.
Nice coffee and people, my first time to drink V60 in Glasgow. Lovely coffee specialist “Josef” , definitely I will go bask soon
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!
If it is not the top speciality coffee in Glasgow, it is one of the best! Great coffee beans selection, great baristas with great equipment. I visited them 100 times and they have same quality every single day. I have tried espresso, dripped filter coffee, flat white, all are amazing! Thank you guys for such a great speciality coffee ????????
