I've always driven past this place, and today I finally decided to give it a try. And let me tell you, it was worth it! The cafe itself has a charming decor, with a couple of window seats that offer a great view. If you prefer a more cozy atmosphere, there are additional seats available in the back.
The staff was friendly, although they could use a little more energy and enthusiasm. However, the real star of the show was the coffee itself. It was unlike anything I've tasted before - smooth, creamy, and absolutely delicious. Unlike the usual strong and bitter taste I'm used to, this coffee was pleasantly mild. Although I forgot to ask where the coffee was sourced from, I would guess it's Brazilian based on its unique flavour profile.
I also tried their rolls, and while they were okay, the bread was a bit tough. However, that didn't stop me from enjoying every bite.
In short, whether you're looking to grab a coffee on the go or sit in and chat with a friend, this place is a winner. I'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a caffeine fix. Cheers!
Ps what a cracking shot!...
   Read moreI visited Hinba after a very traumatic decaf experience. It had to be one of the worst I've had. After doing a wee recce of this wonderful wee place I decided to try the decaf americano with just a dash of cold water and hold the milk to take away. Wow I had to try it while standing before the amazing baristas who were more than lovely and definitely know their stuff. That decaf has definitely restored my love for decaf coffee and more. There was a taste that I couldn't quite place...then half way up Byres Road I shouted out...Scottish homemade treacle toffee. This decaf had this exact taste. It was so beautiful and comforting at the same time. So will I return to Hinba? Try and blooming well stop me. Thank...
   Read moreConnected to eighty-eight, this is a fabulous coffee shop with a good seating area at the back of the shop as well as having some outside seating on nice days.
My empty cup should be a testament to how delicious the drinks are in here. The earl grey tea here was obviously not made in house but was well priced and delicious. If you are in for a hot drink the coffee here is excellent, so excellent Iâve always finished it without taking a picture!
There are plenty of savoury and sweet treats awaiting your arrival complimenting the wide variety of speciality beans. Heavily recommend this spot for a relaxing weekend or a quick pitstop during lunch.
Also really friendly and helpful staff,...
