Artisan Roast

The 2013 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

This review is taken from the current (2013) edition.

A recent minor decorative facelift has left what was once a pop-up store for these Edinburgh-based coffee roasters feeling a bit more permanent. It is still fairly low key, with small tables in the cosy, wood-lined front and more spacious banquette seating in the brighter back room. But when you’re making some of the best coffee in town you don’t need to worry about swanky decor. As well as being larger than the Broughton Street original there are also more food options here, with soup, sandwiches and a selection of cakes all made from scratch by the multi-talented baristas.

• High point: The best coffee in town?
• Low point: Bigger than Broughton Street but still not a huge amount of space
