Artisan Roast's Leith Walk shop: the espresso is precise, and the regulars who've covered Edinburgh's specialty scene still come back.

Edinburgh's own roastery, where the espresso temperature is what the regulars return for.

What we love

  • Artisan Roast is Edinburgh's own roastery, roasting in-house rather than stocking a third-party brand
  • Espresso the standout order, singled out by those who distinguish individual drinks rather than atmosphere
  • Temperature precision noticed by regulars with broad Edinburgh specialty experience
  • Latte art quality holds up under scrutiny from a regular who went looking for faults

Little Havana Coffee Store★★ Specialty

A bean shop where buying starts with a smell and the origins range from Yemen to Java. The owner knows every one well enough to explain swiss-water decaf extraction unprompted.

Williams & Johnson Coffee Co.★★ Specialty

Williams & Johnson roast on-site and pour from the same counter. The coffee keeps people coming back despite the service, which tells you enough.

Not Just Coffee★ Everyday

An espresso-based menu in Leith that takes the coffee seriously, which puts it ahead of most of the neighbourhood. Head here when the cup is the reason, not the backdrop.
