coffee angel



coffee angel, 24-27 brandon terrace new town, is a cruisy cafe with nice sandwiches and rolls and other goodies like chocolate and cakes.

the folk behind the counter are very welcoming and happy for you to just hang with your laptop or read the paper. it has a great feel, a bit like your own lounge room but with better coffee.

they use matthew algie coffee who are head quartered in glasgow - always good to see an independent coffee roaster, even better that they're scottish!

for us the coffee is a high 'good'. the flavour is strong but not quite gutsy or flavoursome enough. the cappuccino was a bit weak. the milk is lovely and soft, temperature bang on and cup size is good. just a touch more complex on the flavour and it'd be cracking.
