Uplands Roast★★ Specialty

Uplands Roast sources direct-trade Vietnamese coffee from a named farm, roasts it in-house, and sells the beans to go. The supply chain is real, not marketing.

Argyle Place★★ Specialty

A Marchmont neighbourhood café that roasts its own coffee under the Mr Eion label. The bar takes extraction seriously enough to adjust to how you drink it.

Detour Espresso★ Solid Local

The espresso holds up across whoever's behind the machine, which matters more than it sounds. Neighbourhood pricing, no pretension.
