Spill The Beans
About This Spot
Step inside Spill The Beans on Skirving Street, and you’re immediately wrapped in the kind of easy warmth that only a well-loved neighborhood café can offer. This is a place where the pace slows just enough to savor more than your cup of coffee—the hum of friendly chatter, the gentle clink of cups, and the quiet rustle of newspapers and laptops create a relaxed, unhurried rhythm. It’s the kind of spot where familiarity sinks in, whether you’re a first-timer or a regular stepping through the door to those welcoming smiles behind the counter.
The atmosphere is comfortably lived-in, with an eclectic mix of artwork on the walls that reflects a creative, constantly evolving spirit. It’s not trying too hard, but it quietly invites conversation and connection—whether you’re catching up with a friend over a cappuccino or grabbing a quiet moment to yourself with a flat white and a freshly baked scone. The team here moves with a calm confidence, knowing their craft well and always ready with a warm hello or a helpful suggestion.
Spill The Beans doesn’t just offer coffee; it opens up a comforting space to linger over more than just drinks. From toasted bagels to heartier midday fare like a gently spiced yellow curry or a slice of homemade apple pie, the menu feels thoughtfully curated for anyone looking to enjoy a genuine local experience. The food arrives with a sense of approachable goodness—honest, satisfying, and perfect for sharing or solo enjoyment.
Regulars praise the balance of great coffee and the atmosphere that feels like a second living room, where friendly faces are part of the draw as much as the lattes and paninis. Dog lovers appreciate the welcoming vibe for their four-legged companions, which only adds to the café’s sense of community. Whether you’re popping in for a morning boost or a laid-back afternoon pit stop, Spill The Beans holds a quietly confident charm that’s unmistakably Southside Glasgow.

The only place in the Southside to drink coffee... IMHO. Still the same as of 2022 Oct. So, took a trip back today - July 2023 - and it's still great coffee and the loveliest of staff but... My god, the art work on the walls has changed and it's dreadful. It's that spray painty, gairish, multi coloured sort of art that was in fashion in 1996 Jun the 13th. Won't stop me going in of course best place in the Southside for a coffee. Update: Oct 2024... The art work in this place, it's on sale yet year after year it remains, starring down at you with an aggressive grin. GO, go buy it people, save me from the swirls, twirls and, ummm, atch go have a look and see,maybe I'm just wrong and this is true art.

if you're ever in the area, Spill the Beans should be your first stop. Being a regular at Spill the Beans, the coffee? Hands down, it's one of the best. But what really sets this place apart is the amazing team. Ryan, John, Tristan and Alan are not just baristas- they're the heart and soul of Spill the Beans. They make sure you feel welcome from the moment you step through the door. Their customer service is exceptional, always delivered with a friendly smile, genuine warmth and a willingness to go the extra mile to get to know the community they're fostering. They make each customer's experience perfect, no matter how busy it gets. They're always up for a chat, making sure the vibe of the place stays relaxed and inviting. Plus, the atmosphere is bright, comfortable and the layout encourages people to relax. Great Coffee, perfect service and an amazing team. Highly recommend.

Service was excellent! Coffee was tasty, Banana loaf was delicious but the brownie was very dry. Dogs very welcome inside Would visit again

If I could just spill the beans, my advice would be…. Visit this lovely little coffee shop! Great coffee, lovely pastries (+a whole load of great looking food) and friendly professional staff too

I’m a electric wheelchair user and I was in today, plenty of room in the cafe for me to move around and the toasted baguette and soup were delicious and a first class latte, just adding this on, maybe you could consider having more tables that only sit 2 customers because like me and my wife and a few other customers, we were only a couple and we had to sit at a 5 person table, but amazing food, service and more importantly coffee, thanks again
