Nestled within Glossop Railway Station, Twig Coffee Shop is a charming haven for coffee lovers and travelers seeking a delightful pause on their journey. As a cozy cafe with a distinct railway vibe, Twig effortlessly combines the bustle of the station with an inviting, warm ambiance marked by twinkling lights and friendly baristas. This unique setting, enhanced by thoughtful decor and welcoming staff, elevates every visit beyond the usual grab-and-go experience.
Their coffee offerings are nothing short of exceptional, truly embodying the spirit of craft and care. Wayne Harffy’s glowing testimony—"Best coffee, bar NONE"—speaks volumes, especially for espresso aficionados who find Twig’s shots superior even to large chains like Costa and Starbucks. Whether you crave the smooth intensity of an Americano or prefer something more adventurous, the Toffeenut Latte with Biscoff Topping or the vibrant Super Food Latte featuring butterfly pea evoke vivid sensory delight with every sip. Seasonal specials like the Christmas Espresso and Gingerbread Latte add cozy festive flair that perfectly complements the crisp UK air.
But Twig shines just as brightly in its food offerings. The menu presents thoughtful choices for quick bites that pack big flavor and comfort. Savory selections such as the Lime and Coriander Chicken Nigella Panini offer a fresh, herby twist that Laura O recommends wholeheartedly for a satisfying meal on the move. On the sweet side, the Gluten-Free Triple Chocolate Chip Cookie and vegan-friendly cakes cater attentively to diverse dietary needs, a quality Karla Buxton praises alongside the stunning latte art that turns every drink into a mini masterpiece. The ‘cuffin’—a croissant baked like a muffin with a sweet filling—is a delightful innovation sure to excite any pastry lover.
Beyond just coffee and snacks, Twig Coffee Shop creates a welcoming atmosphere that invites travelers and locals alike to linger a moment longer. As tortoisebutler charmingly notes, the sound of the coffee machine resembles a “contented dragon,” a whimsical detail that captures the shop’s magical aura. Regular customer Rory Dark Peak appreciates the consistently great staff and uplifting ambience—elements that transform Twig into more than just a station stop, but a memorable part of the Glossop experience.
For anyone passing through Glossop Railway Station, Twig Coffee Shop offers an authentic taste of hospitality, quality, and creativity.

Best coffee, bar NONE. I only drink espresso and this one here better than any other I’ve had including COSTA and Starbucks.
Straight up tasty coffee and great smoothies too. Food is delicious for a quick warm bite to eat - have to try the Lime & Corriander Chicken Nigella Panini
The best and nicest crumpets! Absolute fairytale find of a station cafe. Twinkly lights, nice staff and a coffee machine that hisses like a contented dragon. I have never seen a prettier mocha.
The coffee is actually really good, and they have a reasonable selection of enjoyable food to cover more than one dietary requirement. They have a really big selection of vegan cakes, and gultan free biscuits. The latte art done by the staff is wonderful. And the staff are always absolutely lovely and happy to help if you need it. They also have super food lattes that are absolutely wonderful.
Always love my coffee from twig, great staff throughout all shops and a lovely atmosphere
Cute little cafe with a huge variety of coffee options and a delicious cake selection, with vegan options available. Very friendly service too!
Fantastic coffee and selection of foods! Tried the 'Golden latte' which was peculiar to taste at first but otherwise very lovely, hearty and warming. Also had a filled ciabatta which was beautiful warmed up. Good value for what you get. Friendly atomsphere and speedy service. This is room to sit in but it does get full quite fast! No toilet on site but one in the station just up from the shop. Will definitely visit again!
Located in station a lovely spot and Plenty of vegan options , I got the Sandwich and some Baked goods to Takeaway along with a porridge pot that I’ve always wanted to try and never seen in store before as a Handy grab and go while staying in a cottage near by Friendly service and hidden gem in Glossop A must visit coffee shop
