Artisan Roast

We were served by a guy called Tom who is the friendliest person on earth! He is very knowledgeable about coffee and pointed me towards a Chinese coffee, which was amazing, and something I never would have chosen on my own. Best of all, in this place you get a second cup of coffee if you buy the batch brew, which really surprised me. Such a great, cool place.

We visited Artisan Roast at Broughton Street a few times and tried different espresso drinks there, all were great. It is apparent that the baristas are real coffee connoisseur, and funny guys. They offered us complimentary tasting on different occasions, such as a whisky-infused roast (I guess) which was really nice. Artisan Roast has its own roastery and they retail beans from various sources with different roasts. I have been experimenting with my espresso machine using their darker roasts, and to me they are well balanced.

A wonderful space to just sit back and think about the day ahead, or even the day behind. I ordered one oat milk latte and a cold brew. The cold brew was refreshing, so tasty - like fresh tomato leaves! So strange to find in a coffee of I was really impressed. I bought some of their carefully selected beans and I really really enjoyed them, too. I am certainly going to be getting more in the near future. If you ever need a cafe to visit while you're in Edinburgh then you're in luck! They have the best, and Artisan Roast is at the very top. Can't wait to visit again soon!
