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.

Wonderful place nestled in a beautiful location with cute, bright minimalistic interior and leafy outside seating too. Coffee is divine and made with extremely well sourced beans of very high quality. Highly recommended! Great selection of dairy free milks available too so vegan friendly and great selection of cakes! Authentic noodles for offer too, cooked to perfection by authentic Chinese chef. Friendly, professional staff too. This is a place to watch!

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!

Wonderful oat flat white and almond pastry. Highly recommended and great location on quiet street. On a sunny day, outdoor seating would be lovely.

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

I found this place while looking for another place I wanted to try out a few weeks ago. I made a point of coming back to as it looked so inviting and after reading other reviews I am glad I did. A lovely hot day in Glasgow, I sat outside and people watched. I had the Spanish sandwich toasted and a large lattee that was so smooth one of the nicest I've had and I drink alot of lattes from different places great selection of different teas and coffee, cakes and sandwiches. Busy wee place, plenty of seats inside and out. Staff where friendly and a nice relaxed vibe to the place. Definitely be back

Great coffee spot, first time visiting after stumbling upon it on maps while looking for a space to do some work in peace and quiet. Great coffee too, the house blend smooth with caramel and chocolate notes, and nicely finished with some latte art - which is nice to see! Lots on offer for coffee making at home and lots of beans on offer with expert knowledge to help even the novice.

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.
