COFFEE.

Good days in Edinburgh usually start with good coffee. Whether you’re heading out early to beat the crowds, warming up after a windswept walk or simply in no rush at all, these are the coffee spots we’d sent you to.

Cafen

A minimalist brew bar on Dundas Street for guests who like their coffee seriously considered, with an ever changing menu of distinctive, locally roasted beans.

Disposition

Close to Haymarket and the Water of Leith. Part coffee shop, part beautifully curated general store, Disposition in Roseburn pairs speciality coffee and seasonal food with shelves you’ll want to browse.

The Milkman

With two locations on Cockburn Street, The Milkman is a cosy favourite for speciality coffee. The perfect spot to pause while exploring the city’s historic streets.

Margot

Overlooking Bruntsfield Links, Margot is the kind of neighbourhood spot that can start with coffee and easily turn into lunch, think seasonal food, good energy and plenty worth staying longer for.

Fortitude

Roasted here in Edinburgh and served from cosy cafes in Stockbridge and Abbeyhill, Fortitude is the place for sweet, balanced coffee made with real care.
