The Glenogle Swim Centre is the obvious reason to be here. Sam runs the machine himself, and the coffee is better than the setting would suggest.

The swim centre setting undersells what Sam is doing on the machine.

Mr Eion★★★ Purist

Own roastery in a small Stockbridge shop, sourcing at farm level with Costa Rican microlots named to origin. The mail-order list exists because people leave and keep wanting to buy from it.

Fortitude Coffee Stockbridge★★ Specialty

Ask for a pour-over and say what you like. The staff can actually help you choose, which isn't something every cafe in Stockbridge can say.

Artisan Roast Stockbridge★★ Specialty

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.
