"The seasonal drinks programme is doing something considered: hazelnut miso latte, cardamom iced latte with rosemary garnish, espresso balanced enough to anchor it. Strong pastry work makes this a reliable New Town morning."

The city's founding specialty roastery, and no one in Edinburgh has been doing this longer or with more focus. Single origins rotate by farm and process; staff offer batch brew samples before you commit.
New Town roastery cafe where staff testing new lots mid-service will hand you a pour-over before you've asked. The beans are their own, roasted on-site.
Siphon done properly, in a New Town room where staff weigh every dose and talk coffee at industry level. The flat whites are equally serious.
