A NEW coffee roastery, cafe, bakery and training space is set to open in Glasgow at the end of the month.
Thomson’s Coffee Roasters, a 176 year old family business, will set up the ‘immersive coffee experience’ in the city’s Argyle Street Arches.
The Arches venue is being developed into a new multifaceted space. It will retain its community ethos and be home to a number of small local producers, including Platform, a weekly street food market.
Thomson’s Coffee Roastery will occupy the first of the seven adjoining archways where the former cafe used to be.
The cafe will let customers experience the roasting process alongside a 58 seater café and in-house bakery offering pizzas, breads and pastries all freshly baked on site.
Russell Jenkins of Thomson’s Coffee Roasters said: “Opening our first open plan coffee roastery, café, bakery and training centre in Glasgow is a great milestone for the business.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
