artisan roast - broughton st



artisan roast, 57 broughton st, is among edinburgh's best.

passion, aroma, flavour, milk texture, temperature and cup size - all fantastic.

my personal favourite is a flat white which is a double espresso in a normal, tea/coffee sized cup. not a mug or an oversize cup - just a nice, normal cup that holds the perfect quantity. my trusty partner prefers the cappuccino.

the milk has the lovely thick texture of expertly stretched milk, enhancing the complex nutty, choclatey, smokey, caramel coffeeness without a hint of bitterness. the flavour is as good as the smell. you can choose from a range of sprinkles for the top of your froth including chilli or cardamon chocolate, if that is to your liking.

artisan roast their own coffee beans and supply other coffee shops. the picture of their roaster below was taken before they moved it to glasgow.

apart from having some of the best coffee around, you can also take some beans or ground coffee home - ground to your exact specifications.
