At the beginning of June, Klaudia of Short Long Black Coffee selected our Honduran Geisha to compete with at her first performance in the UK Barista Championship. SLB are very good friends of ours, and a longstanding wholesale customer — we’re immensely proud of Klaudia’s routine, and we look forward to what she brings next year!

The final roast of Pedro Moreno Geisha is available now — mega sweet with a black tea tannin vibe and a sparkling apple acidity. Try it iced, and finish this one off in style.

Since last year, we’ve been working quietly behind the scenes to bring our vision for a new space to life.

As we mark 185 years of Thomson’s Coffee, our Candleriggs shop brings us back to the heart of Glasgow city centre.

Building on what you know and love at our Gallowgate and Giffnock shops, it’s a space that starts with exceptional coffee, then shifts into your new favourite spot for drinks.

The fit-out is well underway, and we can’t wait to welcome you through the doors in late summer. We’re excited to share more with you soon.
