Alfie & Co Coffee Roasters

you're on forrest street in g40, which isn't the part of glasgow that gets written up in weekend supplements, and that's fine. the east end has its own rhythm, and alfie & co coffee roasters sits inside unit 16 doing exactly what an independent roaster should: sourcing, roasting, and getting coffee out to people without making a spectacle of the process. they roast on-site, which means what ends up in your cup hasn't been sitting in a warehouse for six weeks waiting for a delivery window. the standing here is genuinely strong, built quietly over time. if you're crossing the city for it, go early in the week when things tend to move at a steadier pace, and start with whatever single origin filter they're pouring that day.
