You'll find yourself on Candleriggs in the Merchant City, where Sorriso's got that easy continental vibe without any pretension. Walk in and you're hit with the smell of proper coffee and fresh baking — the kind of place where regulars have their order ready before they reach the counter. The space feels lived-in rather than designed, with enough character to linger over a cappuccino and pastry without feeling rushed. It's become the sort of spot where you bump into the same faces most mornings, everyone united by decent caffeine and the kind of hospitality that actually feels genuine.
