CIBO

glasgow's specialty coffee scene has been quietly building for years, moving well past the point where you had to trek into the city centre to find something worth drinking. cibo, on victoria road in the southside, sits in a stretch of glasgow that rewards the people who actually live there. the regulars here clearly feel that, and feel it strongly. if you're heading south from the gorbals or cutting through from shawlands, this is the kind of stop that starts to feel like a fixed point in your week rather than a detour. the southside has that quality generally, a neighbourhood logic that chains tend to flatten. cibo doesn't flatten it. worth making time for the flat white on a quiet weekday morning, when victoria road is still finding its feet.
