Whether you are looking for a coffee shop to get your fix or cafes offering blends and flavours from across the world, these Awards will celebrate the best in the Scottish coffee industry who are the real masters of coffee.
The elegant ceremony will take place at The Marriott Hotel Glasgow on Monday, June 27

The awards are honoured by Creative Oceanic but voted for by the Scottish public who experience the joy of a good coffee daily when they get their morning cup or a hot beverage in the afternoon to keep the energy going.
The Scottish Cafe Awards 2022 promise to be a memorable night dedicated to the country’s café industry that employs hundreds of people, enhancing the prosperity of the Scottish communities.
A wide-range of accolades are waiting to be presented to the deserving professionals and establishments, including Best Coffee House, Bistro of the Year, Best Not For Profit Cafe and many more.
A Spokesperson for the Scottish Café Awards 2022 said: “Coffee is the most popular drink worldwide and the trade values billions of pounds.
“As a result, the Scottish Café industry has seen a massive growth over the past few years with many new coffee shops entering the sector, increasing the competition.
“This ceremony aims to acknowledge those who have played a great role in making this sector one of the most profitable industries in this country.
“Undoubtedly, there are coffee lovers in Scotland who look for not just a coffee, but a true masterpiece. These finalists reflect those who put so much effort into providing high quality of food, snacks and hot beverages to the costumers across the country.
