"The espresso is complex and robust, and the room on George Street is one of the more comfortable stops in New Town."
33A George St, Edinburgh EH2 2HN, UK
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.
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.
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.
