Artisan Roast Broughton street★★★ Purist

The city's founding specialty roastery, and no one in Edinburgh has been doing this longer or with more focus. Single origins rotate by farm and process; staff offer batch brew samples before you commit.

The Cobbled Roastery★★ Specialty

New Town roastery cafe where staff testing new lots mid-service will hand you a pour-over before you've asked. The beans are their own, roasted on-site.

Bastard Barista★★ Specialty

Siphon done properly, in a New Town room where staff weigh every dose and talk coffee at industry level. The flat whites are equally serious.
