New Town espresso bar running a Slayer and a rotating cast of Danish roasters. Ask the barista what's on, they'll tell you which farm it came from.

Rotating Danish roasters, geisha on the menu, and a Slayer doing the actual work.

Artisan Roast Broughton street★★★ Purist

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.

The Cobbled Roastery★★ Specialty

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.

Bastard Barista★★ Specialty

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.
