Bikes and Coffee

*instagram: msgram

Apologies for using instagram photos that you probably already saw yesterday,

but it was dark and rainy so real camera photos were just not happening.

Stephen and I took a little break from wedding planning/PhD applications/work/etc

and went to this new cafe that opened up down the street.

Cute little cafes, restaurants, and my personal favorite, a salon and spa

have been popping up all around our flat.

This makes me so happy,

because while we live in the nicer area of Glasgow, 

if there is such a thing...

just kidding...

kinda..

our specific location on the west end has been needing a little sprucing up.

Siempre Bicycle Cafe reminds of something you would see in LA..

or  maybe more so Portland and SF,

where people tend to ride bikes more.

It is a cafe/restaurant that supports the urban cycling revolution.

It's indie, and trendy, and very cute.

You can actually buy bikes and cycling gear there in addition to getting a latte and some food.

They pride themselves on serving fresh produce,

and are anti coca-cola. 

They believe in providing you with nutrients that will help you live better and "cycle faster and longer"

The coffee is really good...

 the food is not the best, 

but I am learning to expect that.

I would recommend sticking to the simpler dishes like the yogurt and granola,

their homemade protein bars,

eggs etc,

and stay away from the sandwiches and more "main" meals.

I think they are still figuring out how to execute nutritious food that tastes good.

baby steps.

However, the customer service was fantastic,

which was such a nice change of pace from the service we typically get out here.

If you find yourself in Glasgow for some strange reason,

hit them up,

if not for that adorable cappuccino alone.
