Riverside Museum

actually, pointhouse road is one of those glasgow addresses that makes you work a little harder to get there, which might explain why the people who find riverside museum coffee tend to keep coming back. govan isn't the first neighbourhood most visitors think of when they're mapping out a coffee run, but that's fine. the regulars here are loyal in a way that goes beyond habit, the kind of loyalty that builds slowly and holds. what you'll get is specialty coffee taken seriously, without any of the self-consciousness that sometimes creeps into more central spots. no performance, just a good cup in a part of the city that has its own pace. worth timing your visit for a quiet weekday morning on pointhouse road.
