Songbird Speciality Coffee
A speciality coffee shop on Dumbarton Road in Partick, open every day, with beans to take home, bagels and cakes, and dogs made welcome.
Songbird Speciality Coffee is a warm, friendly coffee shop on Dumbarton Road in Partick, with a brick wall, soft lights and a bar lined with grinders and bags of beans.
The coffee is made with real care, and there's a good choice of beans to take home if you find one you love. If coffee isn't your thing, the matcha is made just as carefully. To eat, there are bagels and cakes, sweet and savoury bites to go with your cup. Dogs are very welcome here, and there are a few tables outside for a dry day. It's open every day, from 8am on weekdays and 9am at the weekend, until 5pm, so it suits a slow breakfast or an afternoon break. From here it's an easy walk to the Riverside Museum and the footbridge across the Clyde to Govan, or up Byres Road to the Botanic Gardens.

Open every day, with a few tables outside.
There is no booking.
