Landed in Edinburgh from an early flight and found on yelp as our first stop, so glad we did. It's cozy and inviting, and I was offered samples of the brewed before ordering, which was awesome. I went with the Ethiopian drip and was impressed a single cup did the job. read more

ADORABLE little shop. Batista was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended the banana bread because it was perfect. Latte was delicious as well as the mocha. They have simple chocolate and salted carmel chocolate as choices. Duckers is from a bridal shower and we all have to take them on an adventure. We though he needed a friend so grabbed these 2 cuties from London. read more

A charming & cozy coffee shop. About a 10 minute walk from my market St.. Hotel. Ordered a Cappuccino and it was very bold/strong just the way I like it. They had 3 options for baked goods & all looked very good. I tried the Lemon & Thyme Bar & it was excellent. Strong lemon flavor with a hint of the Thyme. They have other area locations also. Award winning, fair trade coffee & friendly service. Will be back! read more

I kind of get the hype, kind of- maybe I would have properly if I consumed coffee more than just in the occasional portion of tiramisu. However, the coffee did smell lovely, it was cosy, the staff were friendly, and they bake a fine cake. Pleasant, but just not to my niche, so I don't really think I can really give it the full chat- listen to someone who loves coffee!! read more

Artisan have been working away implementing a few positive changes recently so I felt like I should update my review and give an extra star. The cafe has been given a new floor, a new menu board and various small touches to give it a slight refresh which is welcome. They have a new espresso machine; it's not lever controlled like the last one so it misses some of the charm but in general I think consistency is better as a result. There are new items on the menu - in particular I have enjoyed the nitro brew and cold brew options in the summer. Food is still relatively limited but the cakes are good, soup is a good lunchtime option and I've even noticed some sandwiches for sale recently. There is a card machine! I've been waiting years for this as previously you would have to wander over to a newsagent up the road to try and get cash. Contactless. It's still the place I come to most to get good coffee because unlike most other places it's open late (7.30pm on Mon-Thurs). Artisan helped to kickstart a lot of the Edinburgh coffee scene so it's good to see them making improvements and not just relying on their reputation. read more

Mmmmmmm...... A fabulous coffee shop and roastery on Broughton Street, Artisan Roast is so inviting that I could probably spend a whole afternoon there, tucked up in a corner with a new book and stream of flat whites. The roastery room with the long wooden counter, bags of beans and daintily stacked pastries reminds me of Monmouth Coffee whilst the back room is like a crash pad with lots of low seating and stacks of cushions. As for the coffee, you're guaranteed a good cup when all the beans are roasted on site by passionate and thirsty baristas. I've had great cappuccinos and espressos but usually opt for a flat white or americano with a splash of hot milk. read more

What a gem! I bookmarked this spot prior to my arrival due to the positive reviews. I knew I needed to find a place close to my flat that served decent coffee. I have to say that their cappuccino is probably one of the better ones that I've had ever in my life. It's very easy to miss this spot so be sure to pay attention. Once you walk in, you'll see a menu up on their wall. Reasonably priced. If you're getting your cup of joe there, then you'll order and pay after. They have a nice spacious seating section in the back too. It's quieter and happened to be a perfect spot for me to post up and do some reading. I'm a fan. Looking forward to trying some of their other drinks. read more

Without a shadow of a doubt, Artisan Roast 'do' the best coffee in Edinburgh. They take coffee seriously by not only making and serving it, but roasting their own beans too. The website keeps punters up to date with what beans they're currently roasting, so you know what's fresh and in stock. The shop itself is very small with only a few stools to perch upon , however there is a Morroccan inspired chilled out room at the back 'the mooch' where you're welcome to get comfy and enjoy the caffeine based delights. Although the main menu item is coffee, they also do amazing hot chocolate supplied by Coco of Bruntsfield which comes in a variety of flavours (try the Aztec one for a chocolate chilli kick!). The staff here are really knowledgeable and friendly, they manage to know practically all there is to know about coffee without being at all pretentious. If you're a caffeine addict, this is where you should be coming for your fix! read more

Artisan Roast, the Broughton St. location, is a beautiful cafe in Edinburgh that seems a gift to the streets and a little kiss of hipster-cool-creative, and reminds me of Los Angeles that I consider home. It is by far the most glorious cafe I've been to so far in Edinburgh, and as LA Native who has traversed the cafe scene (due to the drinking laws), I've seem some pretty cool cafes. Artisan Roast I visited this past Saturday and was washed away happily by what I found. From the outside, it is a black painted store front with a gold sign cut out with letters declaring 'Artisan Roast'. There is a red bench and people with unmanageable curly hair and alternative attire standing outside. My friends hesitated, but I was invigorated. These were my people. We opened the door, a black walled room with hip barstools and a shelf of freshly roasted coffee beans from their facility down the road. A man of baldness with a rich and swirly beard wearing a light blue flannel said, 'There's more room in the back, feel free to sit down', and so we walked past the huge expresso machine, and into a room that was another world altogether. Low, red cushioned benches lined the room as french press lanterns dangled from the ceiling at eye level while sitting. The walls were decorated with international burlap coffee bags, and there was a hanging curtain fabric that made the room feel like we were sitting in a middle eastern tent. I felt like we had been transported. We made our way back to the front to order, and looked up at a variety of over 20 types of beans and four different brewing techniques,V60 filter, cafetiere, aeropress, and stovetop, as well as the expresso machine. And there was a soup of the day. We went back to our seats and waited for our Monsoon Malabar from India, our Divina Providencia from Honduras, and our Aricha Woreda from Ethiopia. Each one had a different sculpted flavor that was revitalizing and delicious.Artisan Roast2 Wandering back into the streets of Edinburgh, I knew I had left a little bit of myself sitting in Artisan Roast, contemplating life and listening to 'Brown Eyed Girl' by Van Morrison. And I was okay with that. Find more of our reviews at Literarypixie.com. read more

I like Artisan Roast because it has delicious coffee in a cosy, old-worldsy environment. Although I came here to work and assumed they would have wifi (silly me), I still had a great afternoon here and got a lot of non-computer work done after discovering that there is no wifi. My latte was fantastic and the croissants and brownies looked amazing. This place has great quality food and beverages, but what I liked most was that it felt like it was so removed from the hustle, bustle, and technology-obsessed life of the outside world. If you come prepared to chat or read in one of the tall chairs in the bare-boards front room or curl up in the cosy back room, then you'll be set. Just don't bring your technology and expect to be surfing the Internet. Artisan Roast also felt a bit like stepping back a century in time with the spartan wooden benches and it was not the warmest of places to sit for a few hours in chilly November. That said, I really liked the charm of the place and will come back to curl up with a book and a coffee. read more

Artisan Roast - Pastries look amazing! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

I am always looking for good coffee - often it is difficult to find and Edinburgh is not a great place for good coffee but Artisan Roast is one of the places that can actually deliver a good cup of filter coffee. There a few other places in town that can deliver a good espresso or flat white but when it comes to a good cup of filter coffee Artisan roast is the place to go. They roast their own beans and they do a pretty decent job of it. I tried all their coffees as pour overs on the V60. The roasting is a bit dark for my taste (more a fan of the lighter roasting favored by the likes of Square Mile, Tim Wendelboe and Coffee Collective) but they do know what they are doing. I also had a flat white here and that was very good as well. Did not try any of the pastries but they did look good as well. The place itself is nothing special but a nice enough place to hang around for a cup of coffee or two. read more

Artisan Roast - The Guatemalan coffee at Artisan. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

The Artisan Roast is definitely the place to come if you're a serious coffee drinker. The aroma that hits you as soon as you walk in just about gives you a day's caffeine fix. Further, the environment is totally unpretentious and feels genuinely laid back, giving a really enjoyable experience. They're all about sourcing their coffee beans ethically and giving autonomy to the individuals who produce them as well as giving a reasonable price to the customer in the shop. I had a cafe latte and, although I don't drink coffee all that often, it was delicious, rich and creamy. I also saw a tempting selection of cakes which looked well-priced and tasty. The srvice is pleasant and quick, but the clinching factor for me is the chilled out mood which takes over as soon as you walk in. read more

Artisan Roast is without question the "founding father" of good coffee in Edinburgh. Here, they know their beans; they know - inside out - the intricacies of the right grind, the right tamp, the perfect pour and how to get the milk just right. And thats not just for espressos -- if filter coffee is more your thing, then you're in for a taste sensation here. Artisan Roast is passionate about coffee, (but not snobby!) and it shows. My coffee was delicious. The place has real ambience... and "The Mooch", out the back is a cosy place to spend an afternoon. If you love coffee, this is the place to go. If you're not the biggest fan, this is definitely the right place to go to try it again.... you may be surprised at how different, and how gooood, the coffee is when it is made by passionate individuals who really know their stuff. Being a barista is a career choice for these guys... not something they're doing to bide their time. If you need further proof of excellence, Megan, one of the Baristas was a semi-finalist in the 2011 UK Barista Championship. read more

Visited on a Sunday evening, and didn't find a place to sit. Had a to-go Cappuccino, and it is easily one of the best Cappuccino I had. Small cup, but pretty same quantity as what you get at Starbucks in US. Warm, refreshing and great taste! read more

OMG I love this place so much. Though, I've been there only once (on my first trip to Scotland) but God, it is so cozy and welcoming. And the coffee I had was perfect. I'd never be able to prepare one like that myself. We spent there some time, chatting and eating our croissants. It was delicious. I'd like to come back in that moment and live it again. Beautiful. Thank you for creating this place and giving me such warm and precious memories. Keep doing this place special and unlike the others. read more

Great coffee with great service. Highly skilled bean juice extractors serve up perfectly crafted cups of artisanal caffeine. None of that pretentious barista mentality can be found here. Prices are on the extremely high side, most we paid in Scotland, but that comes with their location. I got a latte with oat milk, wife got an americano, and I poured our water. I can safely recommend everything here and not be in any fear of loosing my ravenous cult like Yelp fallowing, comprises of mostly my mother. read more

There is nothing better than getting that first cup of coffee in the morning, taking a sip and letting the warmth run into your chest into the depths of your soul, waking all your senses and making you feel like you can face the day. Seriously, nothing better. And Artisan Roast achieves this beautifully. I've been coming in more frequently lately since I have to drive up Broughton street to get to work. Happy to report the coffee is consistently awesome. I've also started buying my beans from Artisans for those lazy mornings at home and with those beans, I've made some amazing coffees lately. I love the vibe here too. It's a great place to catch up with friends, get some work done, or just to sit and soak up the ambiance. Staff are lovely and seem to know their stuff. Highly recommended if you love great coffee. read more

Artisan Roast - Window nook. Casual and cozy. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

My grandad lives in a farmhouse in Wales. Everything is very rustic there - you know, lots of jute and heavy woollen jumpers and stuff. He has a ceramics workshop out the back where I'm told he throws pots (always nice to have a special place to go when you get that cross, I suppose). He turns wooden things as well (so they face the right way, perhaps) and eats rye bread and there's a rickety old bench next to the log pile outside. His wife bakes really good marmalade cakes and the hot chocolate is never quite as sweet as you think it will be. It is very much like Artisan Roast on Broughton Street. I, as some reviewers have also confessed, am not by any means a coffee connoisseur, so I felt a bit of a fraud coming here in some ways. I'm not the target demographic. But come I did, and Yelp I do, so review I shall. Yoda I am apparently becoming. The hot chocolate varieties are unprecedented in my experience - lavender, rose and black pepper, and another which I can't recall. Being fan of roses as much as, if not more than, of ribbons, I'm surprised I went for lavender, but there we go. It was... exactly as you might expect lavender-flavoured hot chocolate to taste: not very sweet, but rather a faint hint of chocolate spiced up with that kind of pungent floral kick. I've got to say, it didn't work perfectly for me and it was a bit gritty at the bottom, but as an experiment it was quite fun and I wouldn't advise against it. What *really* didn't work for me was the space - I felt cramped and I had to keep shuffling my chair closer into the table to let people past. I was beside the wall, rather than sticking out into the room, so I'm not entirely sure what was going on there. The serving staff took a long time to notice me - takeaway customers were being prioritised and a fair number of people entered, queued, got served and left in the time that I was at my table waiting. This also happened to my friend who joined me later. I'm not sure if you're meant to just go up and grab somebody (there's no actual counter) but it wasn't clear. As a side note, there's a sign by the door that says "J K Rowling never wrote here". That really made me laugh. read more

Coffee bean sacks on the walls and they even have pillows made out of them, these guys are serious about their coffee it seems. And so they bloody should be, all these watered down 'Grande' sized cups that chains pump out, it's nice to see an Americano served that isn't a mile high. There isn't actually a counter top in this narrow converted terrace, just a nice big coffee machine on the side that takes the brunt of the business. Big black chalk boards listing prices but also a nice section explaining what the coffees are and how they are made (the difference between a 'long black' and an 'americano' for example). The 'Mooch' out the back is the cosy sitting area that is just that, cosy, a little low on space but as the benches are mainly all around the sides, it looks a little like a Morrocan smoking den, which is not necessarily a bad thing. The coffee was lovely, was going to get a second but realised I had already drunk a double shot and didn't fancy wandering the streets of Edinburgh looking like a jacked up coke-head high on the caffeine, so quietly tucked into my pain au chocolat served on a rather sweet granny type porcelaine plate instead. read more

Cappuccino just ok. Nice ambiance for a coffee shop, bakes goods tasty but nothing very memorable. Chocolate shavings in the coffee were a nicer than average touch. read more

So I had heard a lot about Artisan Roast and had seen it pop up towards the top of Yelp lists and had been wanting to try it out for a while. However, being a tea enthusiast and not a fan of coffee, I hadn't been in much of a rush to get here. I finally had the opportunity to catch up with a friend who lived nearby Artisan Roast, so I jumped at the chance to go there. I wasn't really sure what to expect, except coffee of course. When you walk it, it has the look of a dimly-lit, unfinished basement. That's cool for me, since it reminds me of a number of coffee shops in Athens and Atlanta, Georgia, where I went when I was at uni. Although, back then, the unfinished basement look wasn't necessarily always intentional :) Ok, so back to Artisan Roast... I did like the vibe. And I had NO idea you could by fresh baked bread there! That's cool. And I was pleased to see a few options of hot chocolate on the wall. The only one that was available that day, though, was the chilli hot chocolate, so I went with that. Having been to quite a few places around Edinburgh, I realise that it's common to have your drink served in fairly small cups compared to high street coffee shops, but at a slightly higher price. As this is understandable for artisan coffee, I didn't quite get why the hot chocolate was so small. As far as the taste, it was good, but again for the price I was surprised that it was from a powder mix and not from real chocolate. The seating would be a bit tight if you were expecting to come here with more than a few other people. Overall, I liked the vibe of the place, but would be wanting to try some other drink on my next visit. I can't say I'm overly excited about Artisan Roast, but as I'm not a coffee drinker you may not want to take my word for it... my friends seem to love their coffee read more

If for no other reason, visit Artisan Roast for what will be the best espresso you can experience in Edinburgh. We went to a few different cafés in Edinburgh because my partner has an obsession with coffee that borders on batshit crazy, and the quality of espresso here fully justifies walking a town in all directions for coffee. Find seating in the front of the café if you are of the tall persuasion. As I do so often love to paint with broad strokes, methinks Scottish folks are, by nature, dwarfs, as evidenced by the extremely tight spacing for bench seating in the rear drawing room. read more

Much as I like to think of myself as a coffee aficionado, I'm really just a coffee enthusiast (snob). That's why I go to Artisan Roast. Run by a bunch of baristas who really are coffee aficionados, they'll talk you through what you're drinking, tell you why it tastes as good as it does and give you advice on what coffee you should buy (Frankly, you should stick with the stuff they roast on site, it's incredible). Alternatively, if you don't want the conversation they'll make you the best coffee you've ever tasted (probably). Order your chosen beverage and take a seat in the 'mooch', cutely decorated with cafetiere lights and hessian sack cushions. I recommend a flat white, but if you want something different the Ampola is delicious and nutty., with hints of chocolate. If coffee's not your thing they do a few teas and a fantastic lemon-grass and white chocolate drink which they get from the fabulous Coco in Brunstfield. If coffee is your thing (and it will be once you've been), look no further. read more

This place is for serious coffee drinkers. You can smell the aromatic coffee once you enter here. Their coffee is strong and straight, like the Italian way. With limited seating and space. You may be lucky to sit at the "Mooch" room. They make full use of their roasting machine. Which means they roast their coffees. So many selections! Been here many times. Today I ordered the hot chocolate. Fantastico! read more

Well considering the last million reviews have been 5 star reviews - I suppose I'm not the only one to discover this amazing place! The coffee is sooo delicious. The hubs and I went here on one of our first weeks here. Our friend knew about it so we wandered around and found it again as it can be tucked away if you don't know what you're looking for. We managed to spend a good 3 hours at least just sitting and chatting in its quaint and cozy little living room in the back. I feel like there should be different names for coffee shops - that sell delicious coffee such as this fine establishment and then shops that sell grade B coffee where you can hang out all day in to study or do homework on your laptop. This is the perfect coffee shop in the sense that it allows you to feel all comfy inside and you don't feel like you ever want to come around and just grab a coffee to go and ditch the place. In fact, a to go coffee here should be illegal. The end. And no, you can't come here to do homework on your laptop but, please, bring a novel if you're coming by yourself. Maybe a warm blanket, some slippers. Okay no? Maybe Artisan Roast doesn't want me advertising that you can come live in their living room. Anyway, the staff is super friendly - so friendly, in fact, if you check out their website there is a pic of an awesome staff member with a super rad mustache. Then there is also an equally amazing picture off a staff member naked. Mhm, naked with a steaming pot. Yes, go, look now. I'll wait. See? Awesome right?! I also loved the food. I had a croissant while my friend had a brownie-delicious-fudge-square-thingy. Both were delicious! Wish this place was a wee bit closer to my flat as I would go here everyday, but, alas, I suppose it must be for special occasions :) read more

As the other reviews show, no one in town questions whether Artisan Roast makes the best coffee in Edinburgh; if you like coffee and want the best, go there. Their coffee is equal to if not better than that available from any coffee scene in the world, from Seattle to Sydney. And I use the word "scene" advisedly. As amazing as the coffee is, this place is something of a "scene". I had to knock a star off because the ordering experience is so annoying. There's no counter and no clear place to stand or anyone to give your order to. You come through the door and you're standing in an open room with no indication of how or where to order or who even works there. Instead you spy an array of bedraggled hipsters languishing in varying shades of befuddlement. Once you've been there a few times you'll know which ones actually work there, so you place your order and once the magical coffee arrives you forget how irritating it is. The staff are nice and helpful, but I really wish they would sort this out as I hate standing about awkwardly, especially when it's busy and no one knows who's next or what to do. But I keep going back because no one but no one makes coffee like they do. read more

I'm always on the lookout for good coffee. It's in my genes. My parents have sold coffee since before I was born, and they love to tell stories about how I would eat the coffee beans off the floor when I was young. In 1990, when I was barely 14, my dad taught me how to make espresso drinks, and to this date people still tell him that they preferred my mochas to his. Any time I go to a new place, I think to myself, "I hope I can find some good coffee". It's a sickness I know, but I can only handle so much of the mediocrity that is Starbucks, Costa, and Nero. Thank goodness Edinburgh has Artisan Roast. I came in here early on a Saturday morning after leaving the other half sleeping in bed. It's his thing. He likes to sleep. I can only handle so much sleep. Since we were here meeting up with people for a Stag Do, I knew my only chance to see anything that didn't involve drinking was in the morning. I looked at the sprawling board, and ordered a double cappuccino. My espresso drinking habits have moved significantly down the milk scale, and I'm still flabbergasted when people order Venti lattes at Starbucks. Who can really drink all that milk? My cappuccino came to my table, and it was perfectly sized. I then noticed they did do filter coffee. Before, I noticed the flat black and flat white, and when it comes to non-milk coffee drinks, I do prefer filter. Oh well, I sat back to enjoy the cappuccino anyway. It was heavenly. Slightly sweet, slightly bitter, full of flavor. Plus the foam was very well done, with a couple of hearts decorated on top as the Baristas today seem to like to do. The woman working was quite friendly, and we chatted about a few things. I also noticed they have a wide range of interestingly flavored hot chocolates which I asked about, and she mentioned they came from Coco Chocolates just two doors down. Before leaving, I asked about the coffee beans they sold. I wanted to take some home to try it in my French Press, and unfortunately, they were out Sumatra (which is by far my favorite region that grows coffee). She did mention the espresso blend was 70% Sumatran, but I took her suggestion and ordered the Bolivian coffee to take home. She warned me that none of their filter coffees were that good with milk, which is fine by me as I don't use it. This morning was the first opportunity I had to make the coffee, and I am pleased with the recommendation. The coffee is absolutely marvelous. I can definitely recommend this place to any one who is on the lookout for delicious coffee in Edinburgh. Apparently they also have a coffee van (and a VW nonetheless) at the Sunday market. I don't think I'd ever go anywhere else for coffee if I lived nearby. read more

I was in need of a caffeine boost so last Saturday I decided to pop into Artisan Roast as I happened to be in the area. So.. what to drink. I was looking at the menu and one of the girls asked me if I needed help. Then I spotted V60 and wanted to know more as I'm still a V60 virgin - or am I? Stay tuned... The girl beckoned me over to show the process of how V60 coffee is made. A filter, a glass jar of sorts and 18grams of coffee + hot water. I was intrigued so I decided to sample it. They told me they'll bring the coffee over. I went to the back room and it was cosy as the wood burning stove was on. I must say that that was the only cosy thing, as the padded wooden benches weren't the most comfortable to sit on. My coffee arrived. It was brought in a glass jar accompanied by a small cup. I asked for milk and the guy explained that the 'floral notes' would not benefit from the white stuff. I persisted, as I'm not a black coffee drinker but I did try it without milk too. The coffee definitely had a lightness about it, but I wasn't particularly wowed. I mean .. filter coffee - isn't this the way coffee has been made since day one? Albeit these days you would use a electric coffee maker. Nevertheless, I do like this place. The staff are genuinely enthusiastic about coffee and are very helpful. I paid £2.60 for my V60 and left. ;-) read more

My name is Anastacia and I am an Artisan Roast addict......I've taken my consuming passion for this place and it's coffee to the point that when I ran out of the beans I took home with me- I started ordering from their web site. Paying in pounds. Do you know what the exchange rate is with U.S. dollars? The shipping costs? F*&% MY CARBON FOOTPRINT!!!!!!!! I NEED THIS COFFEE!!!!! Do you want to know that I bald faced lied to people that I had used all my beans when in reality I had no intention of sharing a DROP? Do you know that I roam the streets looking in coffee shop windows shaking with caffeine withdrawl hoping to find something close in comparison????? read more

Laidback to the point of being horizontal, this is one for those of you seeking no frills or nonsense coffee and tea, with minimal options in terms of pastries etc. Their gunpowder tea has the required edge, the atmosphere's conducive to casting off the cares of the day and the prices are undeniably keen. Nice folk, nice place & good times. read more
