Buccleuch St0.2 mi from Newington centrelast reviewed April 2026

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.

Own-roastery on Buccleuch Street, with a filter menu built for people who read the bag.

What we love

  • Own roastery: the beans are roasted in-house, not bought from a supplier
  • Filter sits alongside espresso with named single-origin options across both
  • Several roast and origin choices on the menu; filter here is not an afterthought

MF Coffee Shop★★ Specialty

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 SL28 and Ruiru 11.

Bono Coffee★ Everyday

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.

Onto Coffee★ Everyday

Owner-run on Newington Road, with retail beans behind the counter and a Southside following that's been here long enough to stop explaining why. Straightforward espresso, chai made with loose tea and spices.
