Pulp

Gibson Street's got that particular Glasgow vibe where everyone's somehow both pretentious and completely unpretentious at once, and Pulp slots right in. You'll find yourself queuing on the pavement most Saturday mornings, watching folk in vintage Adidas trainers and charity shop coats waiting for a table. The menu's refreshingly straightforward—smashed avocado that doesn't cost a fortune, eggs done how you actually want them, sourdough that's worth the hype. The coffee's genuinely excellent, the kind that makes you realise how many places get it wrong. It's intimate without feeling cramped, buzzy without being unbearable.
