"Artisan Roast's Bruntsfield branch runs a full brew bar backed by the house roastery. Single origins on rotation, staff who understand extraction, and a room arranged around coffee rather than the kitchen."
138 Bruntsfield Pl, Edinburgh EH10 4ER, UK
Own-brand single-origin beans from Latin American and African rotations, a full brew programme spanning pour-over to cold brew, and a team that has been here long enough to run it without a misstep. One of the most serious coffee stops in Bruntsfield.
Five rotating single-origins from Black Dog Coffee Co, each listed with farm name, altitude, and processing method. More serious about coffee than the Bruntsfield setting lets on.
The cortado gets ordered by name here, which tells you something. A Bruntsfield neighbourhood spot where the coffee holds its own against food that draws most of the praise.
