"Own-brand single-origin beans from Latin American and African rotations, a full brew programme spanning pour-over to cold brew, and a team that has been here long enough to run it without a misstep. One of the most serious coffee stops in Bruntsfield."

Five rotating single-origins from Black Dog Coffee Co, each listed with farm name, altitude, and processing method. More serious about coffee than the Bruntsfield setting lets on.
Artisan Roast's Bruntsfield branch runs a full brew bar backed by the house roastery. Single origins on rotation, staff who understand extraction, and a room arranged around coffee rather than the kitchen.
The cortado gets ordered by name here, which tells you something. A Bruntsfield neighbourhood spot where the coffee holds its own against food that draws most of the praise.
