Artisan Roast roasts in Edinburgh. The Stockbridge shop runs rotating batch brews with free refills, and the baristas know what they're talking about.
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.
Ask about the beans and you'll get origins and a taste recommendation, not a blank look. The flat white is what keeps the regulars on Deanhaugh Street.
The Glenogle Swim Centre is the obvious reason to be here. One person runs the machine, and the coffee is better than the setting would suggest.
The baking pulls you in. The decaf keeps the coffee from being an afterthought.
