Very happy to find this cafe in Edinburgh being a Melbourne coffee enjoyer - Artisan Roast is much more to my liking than the chain stores that abound in the UK. The opening hours on a Saturday are actually 9am as opposed to 10am as written here, which was lucky as we managed to have a great coffee before flying out of Edinburgh.

There is no official bar, but rather you just stand next to the machine and wait for your coffee. Beans are roasted on site and available for purchasing. There is only bar seating for about six people and a small room out the back (decorated in an arabian style) for about sixteen.

Espresso: great texture, medium acid, dark cocoa, hints of fruit and caramel.
Flat white: creamy, heaps of coffee coming through the milk served in 5oz cups.
The butter: Bohemian atmosphere but a great mix of people. Super friendly service from knowledgeable staff. Eclectic design that is really laid-back and chill.
Result: this place rocks!

And an inviting room it is. My flatwhite has always been good, but next time I'll try a long black as my buddy reckons it is a better way to taste the flavours of their roast.

While searching the web for ‘the best coffee in Edinburgh’ I stumbled across Artisan Roast I just had to investigate, and indeed it was one of the best espresso I’ve had in Scotland. They’ve created a cafe that would make any Kiwi or Aussie feel right at home. It’s worth going to this cafe and spending some quality time with a quality coffee in The Mooch where there are board games, magazines, and local artwork. Not only does Artisan Roast do the best espresso in Scotland but they are well capable of doing a decent flat white. Artisan Roast is exactly as the name suggests, they a...
