"A neighbourhood brunch spot on Marchmont Road. The kitchen leads; the coffee, locally roasted, keeps pace."
146 Marchmont Rd, Edinburgh EH9 1AQ, UK
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.
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.
The espresso holds up across whoever's behind the machine, which matters more than it sounds. Neighbourhood pricing, no pretension.
