THE FIRST COFFEEHOUSE ON EARTH
THE FIRST COFFEEHOUSE ON EARTH
In 1554, Istanbul’s winding streets saw the birth of something revolutionary: the world’s first coffeehouse. These weren’t just places to drink coffee, they were hubs of rebellion, poetry, and chess matches that shaped empires.
We’ve brought that legacy to Glasgow.
The Ritual
Inspired by Istanbul’s 16th-century coffeehouses, we honor tradition through:
Meticulous small-batch roasting
Cezve service for select guests
Coffee as communal experience
In a world of hurried lattes, we’re reclaiming coffee as it was meant to be: slow, rich, and soul-stirring
