Our space

Our space

Edinburgh has an amazing independant coffee scene, which is growing by the day. We are super proud to be part of this vibrant community and hope you enjoy the space we have created.

If this is your first time visiting us, we are on the main drag of Marchmont Road, just across from the Meadows in the south side of the city.

We sit around 50-55 people across two rooms, and from April - September, also have around 24 outside seats available.

Inside expect a spacious cafe with tall ceilings and a bright clean aesthetic.

We welcome everyone across students, locals, families, coffee die hards and everything in between.

Specialty Coffee

Specialty Coffee

All our coffee is speciality grade, sustainably and ethically sourced, and roasted locally at our HQ just behind Arthurs Seat.

On espresso you can select one of two single origin coffees, the first being low acidity geared for milk, the other more complex, geared to be drunk black.

We also offer batch brew (filter coffee) served by the mug, again covering two options geared for milk or black.

Finally, we offer pour over coffee made on a Kalita Wave, which are coffees from our premium Signature range. Expect experimental coffees with complex profiles - fruits, florals, process and heightened acidity.

In addition to coffee, you can also enjoy a selection of teas, hot chocolates and soft drinks.

Food Menu

Food Menu

In addition to our extensive selection of coffees, teas and soft drinks, we also offer a food menu, which differs either weekdays or weekends.

On weekdays, you can select a range of pastries, cakes and tray bakes including our hugely popular Vegan Cinnamon Buns and Kilted Donuts.

At the weekend, we extend our food offering across both breakfast and lunch, including Birther pots, chunky sandwiches (made with Company Bakery sourdough), soups and other light bites.

Vegan and vegetarian options available, served all day.

We refresh our menu every few weeks working with local produce suppliers to bring you good, healthy food.
