Edinburgh · 4 locations
Edinburgh's founding specialty roaster, roasting their own beans since before the city had much of a specialty scene to speak of. Single origins rotate by farm and process across all four sites.
Artisan Roast · 57 Broughton St
Edinburgh's original specialty roaster, and the operation every cafe that came after took its cues from. Staff offer samples from two rotating batch brews before you order.
Artisan Roast · 138 Bruntsfield Pl
The brew bar runs single origins from the house roastery, rotated regularly enough that there's always something worth asking about. Staff understand extraction, and the room is built around coffee rather than the kitchen.
Artisan Roast · 100A Raeburn Pl
Artisan Roast roasts in Edinburgh. The Stockbridge shop runs two rotating batch brews daily with free refills, and the baristas know what they're talking about.
Artisan Roast · 72-74 Leith Walk
Artisan Roast's Leith Walk shop: the espresso is precise, and the regulars who've covered Edinburgh's specialty scene still come back.
