#3 MCCUNE SMITH CAFE/SHOP

McCune Smith Cafe& Shop Glasgow  3-5 Duke St, Glasgow G4 0UL opening hours mon- fri 8am - 4pm Sat- sun- 9am - 5pm charging ports 2 - bring a charged device Seating - cushioned and hard back , tables to bar stools Wifi: Yes To arrive at McCune Smith coffee shop , is akin to the feeling of entering the home of your eccentric artsy friend.  With personality brimming from every place you look, a current display by @darkroom.memoir displays artists from around Glasgow sharing their first experiences of going on stage.

The place has an undeniable charm, with the art around the wall doing the name of spitfire justice. The staff have a great character to them and seem to love working there , which definitely helps lift your mood when you have an essay due that you feel you just cant do. Again Im all about the flat white, the coffee at spitfire has a proper kick to it and you cant help but love the style of the cups it comes in.  A bit more pricey than  Tapa  but it also offers a class selection of scran and a respectable list of craft beers, for after youve got sh*t done, or if your in need of some liquid ...
