Colliery Cafe

you're on cardowan road, glasgow g33, which isn't the part of the city that ends up in travel supplements or weekend roundups, and that's honestly fine. colliery cafe has built something real here, the kind of place where regulars clearly feel a sense of ownership over it, not because the branding tells them to, but because the cafe has given them reason to keep coming back. specialty coffee in a residential stretch like this takes a certain conviction, you don't open a place like this assuming footfall will do the work for you. the community has responded accordingly. if you're passing through stepps or working nearby, cardowan road in the late morning is a reasonable place to be.
