Brunch is the draw on Marchmont Road. The coffee is locally roasted, which puts it a step above the neighbourhood default.

Uplands Roast★★ Specialty

An own-roastery with a direct-trade Vietnamese sourcing relationship and a named producer. Beans retail under two SKUs, Tradition and Pioneer, and go home with you.

Argyle Place★★ Specialty

Roasts under the Mr Eion label and takes the bar as seriously as the kitchen. The extraction runs light and balanced; this is coffee that would be interesting regardless of the food.

Detour Espresso★ Everyday

The espresso holds across the whole team, the kind of consistency a neighbourhood cafe earns over time, not overnight. Marchmont pricing, no pretension.
