The seasonal drinks programme has real flavour logic behind it, specific combinations rather than trend-chasing. The espresso underneath is balanced enough to justify the visit even without the specials.

The seasonal drinks programme is doing more flavour work than the neighbourhood expects.

What we love

  • Seasonal menu with specific flavour combinations: hazelnut miso latte, cardamom iced latte with rosemary garnish, pecan oat.
  • Espresso balanced enough to anchor the drinks programme, not just a vehicle for flavour additions.
  • Matcha alongside espresso on the menu.
  • Strong pastry selection makes this a reliable morning stop.

Artisan Roast Broughton street★★★ Purist

Edinburgh's own independent specialty roastery, roasting in small batches and pouring the results on Broughton Street. The range runs single origins by roast level and process, with a Rare Club subscription for the micro-lots.

The Cobbled Roastery★★ Specialty

The roastery is on Thistle Street, not off-site. Staff testing new lots mid-service will hand you a pour-over of whatever they're working through before you've ordered.

Bastard Barista★★ Specialty

Siphon coffee done to industry standard in a New Town room where doses are weighed and the staff can hold a proper trade conversation. The flat whites match.
