SEXY Coffee is set to officially open its second Glasgow store this week.
The new spot at 217 Argyle Street, the former Tower Records building, will welcome customers from 6.30am on Wednesday.
Blue Lagoon boss Gianluca Varese, who also owns Sexy Coffee, explained that the company spent six months renovating the store creating a ‘spectacular stylish high-end marbled themed café’.
The new location, similar to the one on Union Street, will be open seven days a week from 6.30am to late.
It will offer coffee, cocktails, draft beers, ice cream, desserts, and its ‘signature’ alcoholic coffees.
Gianluca says his long-term goal for Sexy Coffee is to have more branches throughout the city, eventually expanding to other cities.

Plans to transform the former Tower Records building were revealed in July.
The new Sexy Coffee store is expected to create around 15 to 20 jobs.
Speaking at the time Gianluca said: "We are excited to share the news that Sexy Coffee is coming to another iconic location within Glasgow city centre, which was the former Tower Records unit on 217 Argyle Street.
"Our intentions are to spend close to half a million on the renovation to create a spectacular stylish high end marbled themed café.
"We hope this will enhance the area similar to what we have done on the 115 Union Street unit, see pictures below from the opening day of that store.
"We will hire 15 to 20 members of staff."
A category B-listed building, the venue next to Central Station housed the music chain Tower Records for many years but the outlet closed in 2002.
Music Zone took over the building in December 2006, but they went into administration weeks later, and in September 2011 That’s Entertainment opened but closed two years later.
The property was put up for auction in 2022.
