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.

I am writing this from Ponta Delgada, where the coffee in front of me was roasted about four streets away. Normally that is the whole story.

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 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.
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.
