Order the cortado: proper technique, proper ratio, the kind of espresso care that most Newington cafes aren't bringing. Relaxed room, and no one is going to hurry you.
Gets the cortado right in a neighbourhood that mostly doesn't.

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.

The 'Roasters' in the name is literal. Filter and espresso run on their own beans, with enough single-origin variety on the menu that what you order is a considered choice.
The coffee starts at MF's own washing station in northern Malawi, sourced from smallholders the founders know personally, before Papercup Glasgow roasts it. The micro-lot menu names varieties down to the cultivar.
A Newington independent where someone has thought about the beans. Not a detour, but if you're on South Clerk Street it earns the stop.
