What kind of human did you grow up to be? Coffee-ista or Tea-Jenny? ☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕ It's a bit of both here at What's Happening Scotland, but a well crafted cup of coffee with just the right amount of bitterness, a hint of nuttyness or a zesty twist and the perfectly steamed frothy milk really hits the spot first thing in the morning, around elevenses, at lunch, mid afternoon and evening! 😊 Here's another collection of fab coffee shops across Scotland to get your daily fix... 📸 @spitfireglasgow now a babycino didn't exist when I was wee but these are great for today's future generation! 📸 @glenlyoncoffee is perfect for the more adventurous of us out there. 📸 @eh9.espresso I'd the newest edition to the Dundee coffee scene - opening this weekend!! 📸 @badlands_coffee this blew my mind (and hair) a coffee shop and barber combined! 📸 @unorthodoxroasters by @dundeecoffeeguy may be showing my favouritism here, but like Mark we 💕 LOVE the guys at Unorthodox Roasters! 📸 @dailygrind_coffee_co in Dundee and Arbroath offers lovely coffee and a stunning insta account 🥰 📸 @figmentcoffee found in leafy Aberdeen, with scrumptious looking pastries and even a bike shop! 📸 @cactuscoffeeltd not only does interesting coffees but welcomes in all our doggy friends too! 🐶 📸 @moopiegelato if you prefer your coffee with a sweet twist then you HAVE to take a look at Moo Pie in Edinburgh. 📸 @kula_coffee_hut love a bit of culture and heritage with your flat white?
