Caffè Crostini

You'll walk into Caffè Crostini and immediately get why locals keep coming back — it's the kind of place that doesn't try too hard but gets the fundamentals right. The coffee is genuinely good, pulled with the sort of attention you'd expect from somewhere that takes their Italian roots seriously. There's a small counter where you can watch the action, and the pastries are proper too. It's become a proper fixture on Dumbarton Road, the sort of café where you see familiar faces and the staff actually know what they're doing. Nothing fancy, just honest work.
