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.

Machina Coffee★ Everyday

A flat white pulled with genuine care for the espresso-milk ratio, in a room with actual space to sit and stay. The most intentional coffee option Marchmont has.
