Artisan Roast have to be the best coffee purveyor in Edinburgh. Each time I visit the coffee is faultless. It is an absolute stopoff every time I am in the city centre.

Review of Artisan Roast from 13 June 2012
Best coffee in Edinburgh, hands down. Another dog-friendly bolt hole for Fergus and I, when we need a caffeine pick-me-up. A warm, cosy space, friendly staff and a very chilled out vibe. I love the blackboard with the explanatory pictures of the coffees they serve (the flat white is particularly recommended) and also their fab cakes and pastries.

Review of Artisan Roast from 14 April 2012

Easily the best coffee in Edinburgh. For those interested, AR is about the only place in Scotland that understands that the milk preparation is as important as the quality of the beans themselves. The flat white is creamy, caramel nuttiness with real depth. I promise you’ll spit out your first big chain coffee after tasting this stuff. Having been to the Glasgow branch quite a few times, I can say that it is just as good. Only slight criticism is that the service in general is a little offhand, but I go for the coffee, not to make friends or have great conversation.

Review of Artisan Roast from 3 March 2012

Excellent coffee, the best in Edinburgh in my opinion. The coffee was velvety smooooth and creamy yet it still retained a nice depth of flavour. Presentation also 5 star, the serving staff must be trained Baristas! Atmosphere wasn’t as much to my liking, felt a little awkward, bit too intimate maybe but thats just me! Can always get a takeaway coffee as you’ll be hard pushed to find a coffee this good anywhere else.

Best coffee in Edinburgh. Fact. The white chocolate and lemongrass hot chocolate is pretty delightful too.

    Not for the now. We’ve tried various options, but keep coming back to the family dairy that is Graham’s.

Review of Artisan Roast from 1 September 2011

Great atmosphere, wonderful hospitality and a taste of original blend coffee to die for!! Artisan roast is the one and only place that delivers quality coffee that thrills the mind into unending ecstasy!

For those of you blind sided by the sugary and creamy artificial “coffee” of Starbucks, give your taste buds the true gift of Artisan roast’s coffee.

I have visited Artisan roast for a while now. I like the simplicity of the coffee shop’s set up. The Coffee sack decoration and the sitting rooms gives the shop even more a warmer welcoming ambience for those who seek the best.

If you are visiting Edinburgh and if you are looking for the best coffee in town with quality service, I strongly recommend a worthy visit to Artisan roast.

Review of Artisan Roast from 4 July 2011

I guess I won't get the chance to try the wonderful coffee in Artisan Roast - asked for a cappucino to take away which smelt delicious and I could see great care being taken over its making but I was gobsmacked when they asked for 50p more than the price on the board.
When I queried, this the somewhat snotty answer was along the lines of . Take it or leave it attitude.
I left it.
I make my own green choices and feel I am pretty consciencious re the environment; but this is being dictated to and 50p is really way over the top.

    G’day Bonnie,
    We do have a charge for takeaway cups policy. It’s actually 30p and is written on the blackboard right next to “10% off byo mug”. It’s a policy that we’ve had from the start and I’m sorry that either the policy or, more likely, the “snotty answer” offends you. Fair one. I spoke to Niall who was on that day and he says he felt bad afterwards. He had a queue of coffees to make and that’s why his answer was short. Sorry your experience wasn’t a good one.

Review of Artisan Roast from 21 April 2011

I love this cafe, it is so different. For starters there is no counter between you and the staff so you just kind of wander over to them at the coffee machine and tell them what you want, or sit down in the very cosy backroom which has a nice fire going in winter.
The coffee is just amazing, they roast it themselves and im very happy to see more and more cafes stocking their coffee around the city.
you can also buy a bag of ground roast to bring home.
Hooray for Artisan Roast!
