Artisan Roast in Edinburgh, City of

The range of coffees here was quite impressive. The atmosphere was welcoming and I must say that the staff provided excellent service.

Nipped in for a coffee with my friend, the iced coffee was good but the service was not. The person who served me was so rude and abrupt. When they brought our coffee over to the table they slammed them down and walked away. I understand everyone has bad days but there is no need to talk to someone the way they spoke to me, especially when they are charging over £4 for a coffee. Side note, the other staff did seem accommodating and friendly.

Coffee always great. However staff are not consistently good. Last few times I’ve been served by someone who looks like they can’t be bothered being there. Then something that i really find intolerable and offensive, they showed me the contactless payment machine with the tip option for 1 takeaway coffee. Seriously? Do the honourable thing and tap ‘no tip’ before the customer has to, after all this is not a restaurant with table service!

Enjoyable cake … infact very good. Coffee was however was in a very small cup, especially for the cost. Service was ok, nothing special though ie didn’t offer to help bringing to the table outside

A delightful spot! Staff were very friendly, the coffee was excellent, and the raspberry cranachan was superb (and gluten free!). Seating inside and out. Can’t wait to go back!

A small, very overpriced and average iced coffee with a single espresso shot. A complete joke. Do yourself a favour and go elsewhere.

Great surprise while on the Water of Leith route. We bumped after lunch into this quiet, peaceful cafe and we loved it. Grrrrreat delicious coffee, lovely place, quiet music. What else???

Even with oatmilk, which I don’t usually like in most cafes as I’m not keen on lots of the brands used.

If you are looking for a quick treat and coffee this is one of many cafes in Stockbridge. The coffee was OK but nothing special.

Really disappointed to find breakfast tea wasn’t possible and it would be be delivered until next week! They’re 30 paces from a coop so buy some! Can’t believe staff can’t go out and get them. Had a cappuccino instead and it was almost cold. They don’t do sweetener either as people steal them. They have nice pastries but drinks were a disaster. Pretty scruffy toilets too. One good point is it’s dog friendly .

Sorry. This place looks amazing. But they seem so desperate to be hipster rhat they're not focusing on the coffee. I had an absolutely disgusting double espresso. I can make it better at home. And the chai was lovely in taste but Luke warm. Not what you want when it's - 2 outside! Disappointing will not return for a coffee or tea experience.

This was easily my least favorite coffee experience of the last 12 months. I found this cafe online and decided to walk to Stockbridge and enjoy an exceptional coffee on a wintery afternoon. Unfortunately what transpired was utterly unsatisfactory, and I know it's just a cup of coffee, but for a company that prides itself on roasting their own beans, to the point of classing themselves as artisan roasters, it really should have been above par. As I sat and waited for my order (which was quite miserable at best), I watched the barista bang out coffees with a hypnotic fury that bordered on disdain for her craft and base ingredients. It was like watching a tragic production line in which the workers had absolutely no interest in what they were creating, or of the consumer's enjoyment of the end product. If this was a shoe factory in Vietnam, that may be justified, but not in a so-called artisan cafe in Edinburgh. Extremely disappointing.

I have tried their Leith Walk branch, which I hadn't noticed before. The room is very spacious, with high ceilings: it feels airy and pleasant. The coffee on the other hand was just OK, a rather indifferent blend, and not so impressive for a speciality coffee venue, called "artisan roast", with matching prices. The execution of the flat white was also not the best.

No WiFi, determinedly so, with signage on tables exhorting customers to talk to each other. Very odd. Perhaps the owners might go the whole hog and grind coffee beans by hand after roasting them over an open fire. They could have a cow (and goat) out back.

Extremely expensive. I paid 4 pounds for a small hot chocolate to go. I understand that this place could be especial for its artisan coffees but the hot chocolate was pretty standard.

Arrived 14:25, ordered a few minutes later. Coffees arrived more or less immediately but two toasties were forgotten about and only arrived more than 30 minutes later when we queried their very late arrival. Fortunately they were delicious otherwise this review would have been scathing. Staff need to up their game - it’s not difficult to send an order from the till to the kitchen!

Comfy Afternoon Coffee My friends and I stopped by for afternoon coffee on a sunny day and didnt regret it a bit. Really cute any welcoming place, the food looked great too

We visited here for the first time late morning and enjoyed the coffee, food, service and atmosphere but were put off by the single shared toilet which is in need of refurb and redecoration - dark and dingy. Wouldn’t return for this reason.

Hemos visitado Artisan Roast varias veces mientras visitábamos mi ciudad natal. El café es genial como la mayoría de la gente reconoce. Sin embargo, estoy perplejo por no mencionar la comida. Teníamos la tostada de queso pastrami y pepinillo con una cebolleta Mayo. Era enorme y súper fresco. Gran pan e ingredientes de buena calidad.Si tiene uno, no planee comer mucho por el resto del día. No tendrás espacio. Buen ambiente y personal amable.

A must for coffee (especially black coffee) lovers visiting the area. Bonus points for dogs to ogle whilst caffeinating.

We love Artisan Roast - when we are able to get a seat - not easy on a weekend as it gets really really busy. The coffee is great and we always find the staff friendly and attentive. The food is nice - although a bit small for the price. But mainly its about the coffee - nice and strong and made with love :-)

Amazing place with really good toasties and coffee! Been here a couple of times, and the food never disappointed. The staff is always friendly as well. Good place with a nice atmosphere.

Crafted coffee of a seriously high standard awaits you at this cafe. Love this place as it is a no-nonsense venue serving one of the very best coffees in Edinburgh. Some locals would say the best. Cakes and pastries also available. Service always friendly.

Bonito café mimado por los perros en la cafetería. Los perros que se sacuden el pelo por todos los bollos y pasteles que están sentados no es mi idea de diversión. Probablemente sea bombardeado por amantes de los perros, pero francamente no me importa. Los perros y la comida no deberían mezclarse

He estado aquí varias veces para tomar un café y me pareció bien, incluso si los servidores pueden ser menos que amigables. Hoy entré y pedí un chocolate caliente. Le pregunté al servidor si no tenía gluten. Ella fue a buscarme y regresó diciendo que sí. Más tarde la escuché hablar con un colega sobre la alergia al gluten, y ambos se rieron y dijeron "No me importa". Me preocupa que pueda haber estado sin gluten, ya que realmente me pone muy enfermo, y de su conversación quedó claro que el servidor ignoraba asombrosamente la enfermedad celíaca y la alergia al gluten. Es decepcionante que el personal no cuide mejor a los clientes, especialmente dados los precios, que son caros incluso para Edimburgo.

The coffee is great and the scones are delicious. It is child and pet-friendly. If you are looking for a homey, cosy and warm cafe in Edinburgh, this is a good place.

Estuve en Stockbridge la semana pasada en el Grange Cricket Club y entré aquí para almorzar. Es un lugar pequeño pero definitivamente lo recomendaría. El café era muy bueno y el sándwich de pavo tostado, queso azul y pera era, francamente, el mejor sándwich que he comido en años. superior, de primera calidad. 6. 50 para un sándwich puede sonar un poco caro. no lo es Valió cada centavo de eso. Los alrededores estaban limpios y cómodos y el servicio fue rápido y amable. Definitivamente en mi lista para volver a visitar.

A tiny, tasteless, luke warm cappuccino and small brownie, takeaway for £5.75! Then, they expected me to get the brownie myself, bag it myself and, get this, leave them a tip for the experience. Hipster hype at it’s worst.

Visited this place this summer when i was on holiday in Edinburgh. First morning over there i woke up early and my friends were still sleeping. Visited this place to do some leftover work and enjoy a good cup of coffee. I enjoyed the great weather and bussing surroundings for quite a while. Ended up going there every day for my daily cup of coffee. Very good place, excellent coffee

Popped in for a quick coffee while visiting friends in Edinburgh, the smooth but strong flavour to their cappuccino was the best coffee I've had in a long time! Seriously they know how to make good coffee. Staff are friendly and professional, didn't try the eats but they looked good. Ambience a fabulous place to hang out.

I have had coffee in this place more times than I can count and it is without a doubt one of the best in town. The staff here are always friendly, welcoming and very sweet and the coffee is always good (I have not had better in any of the other coffee shops in Scotland but I have often had much worse, I am THAT person that will send a coffee back if it tastes wrong) and the food is excellent.

We had breakfast. Great cappuccino, good avocado toast. Fresh croissants and cinnamon roll. Great exhibition with Photos in the cafe. Friendly staff.

Popped in for a coffee a couple of weeks ago, the coffee was nice but the staff weren't the most welcoming that I'd every met. When I went to pay my bill the girl behind the counter snapped at me that she was still serving somebody although there was nobody standing in front if her.

Lo siento, pero voy a decir otra vez. . Todo el personal en cada "asado" cafetería artesanos en Edimburgo son groseros, arrogantes que creen hacer pretencioso urbanitas un café es el equivalente a curar el cáncer. Como ya se ha señalado en muchas otras críticas por muchas otras personas, el personal es muy grosero es tan desagradable que nunca voy de nuevo. Yo vivo en Edimburgo y me encanta "café artesanal", pero me niego a dar mi dinero a estos chicos de nuevo. He estado en los 3 de sus lugares y ahora parece ser parte de la "cultura". Aquí está el mejor, su café no es ni tan buena. . . .

Visitamos este establecimiento ayer por la tarde con mi familia, no hay comida disponible sólo pequeñas tartas muy caro y café. Muchas de las personas de estar usando sus teléfonos y iPads pero no pasar. Sentados en el área de la puerta de entrada mi silla cayó por un agujero en el piso! ! Fuimos al único wc y encontramos un pequeño inodoro sucio tremendamente anticuados, uno de los peores que me he encontrado. No visitar.

Coming from Melbourne, We are spoiled by good coffees. Been to many cities in the Uk this probably came the closest to Melbourne coffee (I drink black coffee only), well done. Food was quite nice too.

Tienes tu café en el mostrador justo al entrar en el café. Que su propio asado, que huele, en mi opinión, un poco como hazlenut, que realmente me gustó. Venden sus granos de café y así un pequeño folleto "independiente de café torrefacto" (o algo similar) donde puedes encontrar un montón de otros gran lugar café en Edimburgo y otros lugares en gran bretaña. Realmente me gustó la sandwichera que pedí para acompañar mi café. En resumen, un sitio fantástico.

Well.. If you're looking for coffee it might be the place! I never had my chance to try as staff completely ignored me.. Poor customer service.

Sitting in Artisan Roast in Stockbridge having just enjoyed the best coffee in ages.Rustic contemporary interior and very friendly staff. Almond croissant was delicious. Well worth a visit

Fuimos en una tarde muy caliente en Edimburgo. Me había pasado este lugar muchas veces pero nunca entramos ya que hay tanta competencia a lo largo de esta calle popular. Este ha sido mi pérdida porque el café es genial. No comimos, ya que el lugar estaba por cerrar temprano, así que no podemos opinar sobre la comida. Tal vez la próxima vez.

Disappointed by the cakes etc on offer. But it was later on in the afternoon so maybe all the nice ones had been eaten !

Me encanta asado artesanales! ! El servicio es siempre muy amable, el café es increíble y mucho más razonables que los de otros lugares en Stockbridge. No me gusta, así que conseguir mi café lácteos con leche de avena y siempre increíble (utilizan Oatly Barista estilo que es la mejor). Las tazas de café son reciclables y cuando lleve su propia taza tienes una gran descuento - significa a veces mi plana blanca es casi la mitad del precio de otros (no tan bueno) lugares en Stockbridge. No sé qué haría sin ella! !

Gorgeous coffee: the best in Stockbridge. A nice selection of pastries and interesting scones (I had one with bits of onion and peppers: yum!). Buzzy and quirky atmosphere, staff and customers, which I really enjoy. And it's dog-friendly, which is nice too.

Un salto de la mañana el domingo estaba abarrotada. Logramos tomar un asiento en el sol afuera y pedimos un par de cafés, muy sabroso y fuerte. La chica que tomó el pedido parecía estar en otro planeta completamente, lo cual fue una pena, no tienen ese toque simpático. Apreciar el sentimiento de ser amable, pero vi un perro Labrador roban un croissant de una mesa y tipo de perdido mágico. Probablemente en un tiempo más tranquila de regreso.

Loved this coffee shop. Extremely good coffee and cake. Unfortunately it was very busy so had to sit outside. No hardship as coffee and cake were delicious. Highly recommend a visit. We will return.

We visited for a lite lunch and as was previously the case, the home made soup and food were very good indeed. The coffee was also excellent however the only thing letting this place down was the indifference of the staff. All it needs is a smile and and an effort by servers to make you feel welcome.

Not the cleanest place to be honest but the coffee is amazing, scone and jam delicious and girls are lovely and helpful. Will definitely come back and recommend to others

My hubby and I had just landed in Edinburgh and were waiting to get into our air bnb. We took a walk down the road and found this lovely cafe. We sat outside in the sun (Amazing I know). We had great coffee and ordered a salmon bagel (when in Rome)and ago,salmon and poached egg on sourdough...wow it was Amazing! Tasty,big and well priced!

Me encanta una buena cafetería y este lugar le pegaba conmigo el resto de mi vida. Sonidos extraños, pero este lugar es bueno. epically A vibe es impresionante. Todo está hecho a mano, orgánica, fresca y deliciosa. Tuve dos lattes y mi esposa tenía una mocha (que le dieron a elegir tres chocolates, no los jarabes de chocolate pero real).

Intenté pedir comida caliente a los 16. 04 dijeron - lo siento la cocina cierra a las 4:00 pm - realmente apart de verano, donde la norma sería más horas, no 4 minutos hacen taaaaan muchas diferencias. Bueno, perdieron una venta - parece una tontería

Una parada de todos los días para mí, el personal encantador con el mejor café de Stockie. Buen almuerzo come demasiado y las tartas.

Vino de visita aquí en nuestro camino al mercado stockbridge un domingo por la mañana y fue casi completamente lleno dentro (que es siempre una buena señal), pero nos las arreglamos para conseguir un asiento en la puerta. El café era fuerte y sabía muy bien que compartimos un trozo de tarta de manzana y almendras el cual era tan deliciosa degustación extremadamente fresca y los sabores de café. complementaron Mi única queja era que no me pareció particularmente niños - quizás esto es intencional; no había nada realmente para mi hija aparte de un vaso de zumo de manzana, que fue demasiado para ella! Mi segunda cuestión es un poco más en serio. Me di cuenta de que tanto los platos que comíamos fuera eran bastante severamente agrietada que es sólo un caldo de bacterias a través de la aún cuando poner lavavajillas! No estoy seguro si las patatas fritas están allí para dar el desaliñado, rústica que es muy popular en los cafés plena en estos días, pero no me convencía de que tales platos rotos se utilizan para el público

Como cabe esperar en una cafetería como este, Artesanal asado sabe lo que está haciendo. El café es excelente, y la decoración interior del café es muy pintoresco. Sin duda recomendaría para un café y una bandeja de hornear!

Tiene una reputación de ser demasiado pretencioso. . . cuenta que es debido a la actitud de ciertos empleados. A la izquierda inmediatamente y nunca regresaré.

As a regular and long-term customer of Artisan Roast, I wondered why this particular branch was receiving such poor reviews, and now I think I know one of the reasons why. When I commented on the size of my take-away coffee and its value for money, this seemed to antagonise the member of staff who was serving me. When I next visited the café with a friend and was about to approach the counter, this same member of staff, on catching sight of me, began to shake his head and smile in a disparaging manner. We went elsewhere for a coffee …

Enjoyed a lovely lunch here: soup, salmon salad - and Belgian waffles! All tasty, fresh and beautifully served.The portions were generous, but not too large, and everything was made with fresh and high-quality ingredients.

wherever you are just get a taxi to this place now. There fantastic coffee has saved me many times in the morning! Cute wee building with awesome beans for drinking!

Can't review as we were ignored at a filthy table. Don't bother, it's not worth it. Won't be back. If there are 3 staff members doing nothing then the owner has a problem

Only popped in for a quick coffee - had spotted this cafe when Ealing passed the day before and had to go back the next day to check it out! Really lovely staff and wide range of drinks and food. I had a bit chocolate which I usually struggle with as I find them very sickly, but the staff were happy to make it weak for me! My partner really enjoyed his cappuccino and said it's one of the best he's had! We wanted to visit a local cafe rather than one of the branches like Costa or Starbucks and we're pleasantly surprised! Really really nice experience! Slightly expensive but no more expensive than the branch coffee shops and we were happy to pay, knowing we were helping the locals. Thank you to the lovey staff that served us today! You made our day!Will definitely recommend to everyone!

We got a puppy just before Christmas and after one of her first cold walks out discovered this cafe where we could get coffee, cake, soup and so could she! They don't actually serve things up to dogs per se, but your dog can sit beside you, make friends with the variety of other discerning doggy customers and share a bit of your cake if you are so inclined! Coffe is good, tea likewise proper leaf variety and pastries, breads with a twist, savoury scones etc are fresh and both the puppy and I were impressed. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and friendly helpful servers. I almost hate to write the review at the risk of it being so popular we can no longer get a seat.

First time in. Heard good things. Coffee was nice and tasty, cakes were great.....but....I had a spongey cake thing, with crushed pistachios on top. I was munching away when I suddenly crunched down on something hard and thought I had broken my tooth. Turned out to be a pistachio nut baked hard in its shell. I told the staff, and they were like, soz. Small apology. Nothing more. Like Joe B, I thought they were rather cool and unfriendly. Sometimes you can be too hipster and tattooed and cool and forget customer service, you know? Left with a nagging tooth. Don't think I'll be back.

Really friendly staff and great quality of food and drink. I had the chilli hot chocolate with oat milk (as I'm a vegan), staff were very helpful in advising me of vegan options. It is VERY strong but so delicious! Will definitely be back soon!

As my title suggests - this coffee is so good its hard to describe properly. Cold winter's day in beautiful Edinburgh, a decent meal in a nearby restaurant, time to head home....via this quirky little cafe. The coffee had to be take away because the place was so full with a delicious 'buzz' of energy and conversation and it looked as though people had settled in for the day. I have to recommend the coffee, but next time I go, I hope I can sit in and just soak up the atmosphere too.

Visited for a late lunch. First time here so was interested to give it a try. Tried a filled bagel and the Moroccan soup. Both were delicious. A very trendy feel to the place, relaxed and non fussy so felt quite comfortable. Only observation was that the staff seemed a little cool and not overly friendly. In fact when I asked if they were still serving soup (given it was late afternoon) the look and response was a bit disappointing. Made me feel stupid for asking. Anyways, perhaps just a bad day and won't put me off returning.

Have had lots of great coffees here and the lady who manages the place is so kind and polite. Def worth checking out

Been here a couple of times now, great coffee and great service, like many places in Stockbridge it is dog friendly so even better.

A favourite place of my host for the weekend, so much so we skipped coffee at home to save ourselves for this place. A lovely coffee shop, with helpful staff and great coffee. The pastry selection at the counter was impressive, the raspberry and chocolate brownie we tried tasted brilliant. We came to indulge our caffeine needs, but our children weren't to be left out, babychinnos for the youngsters, including an oat milk version for the one with diary and soya allergies. I'm not as big into my coffee as my friend that brought me here, but I'm glad he shared this place with me.

Talented baristas, excellent food menu, cakes and comfortable seating. My only wish would be that the place needs to be bigger as it is (quite rightly so) very busy on weekends.

I don't understand how this place can have 3.5 stars on average! It was certainly a 5, and that is coming from two coffee fanatics (wife and i). However, we didn't try the food, but for an excellent cup of coffee, this is THE place to go !

Used to be a florist and slowly changed to coffee shop. Coffee quite tasty but service quite slow. A bit studenty also but relaxed.

Very impressed by the original 5 years ago on Broughton St. and this time went there and the Stockbridge branch. Excellent coffee with wide range of options (aeropress, v60 etc.) and knowledgeable baristas. Highly recommended.

Walk by stock bridge and found an Great Artisan coffee, comfort sit, good service, perfect atmosphere on that day. Make my day start happy. ;)

We stopped in for a drink and a snack yesterday. The shop is warm and inviting - love their decor and the simplicity. Coffee was fresh and delish. We usually aren't impressed with the coffee shop baked goods, but today were completely surprised. The banana bread was spectacular. It was moist and actually tasted like banana - and the chocolate addition was something I would do at home. So yummy. Our son had tea and a yogurt mixed with fruit and oats/granola. Also so delish. I kept stealing spoonfuls :)

My daughter lives in Stockbridge & when I visited her this year, I was very pleased to discover the 'new place on the block', Artisan Roast. Their coffee was wonderful, their home-made goodies scrumptious, their daily special soups delicious, & their ambience welcoming & friendly. I was taking the dog for a walk one day & the rain was suddenly upon us - thank goodness we were both welcome at Artisan! What a lovely, desirable spot!

There are many coffee shops these days but Stockbridge in Edinburgh is lucky to have some of the best in my opinion. Artisan Roast in Stockbridge is one of my favourites due to the guys n gals that work there. They are so knowledgable about their coffee. They have a wonderful food menu and a selection of freshly baked delicious cakes baked on the premises! Very dog friendly! Every barista has a different playlist too, expanding my music repertoire with every visit! This is Sam one of my two dogs chilling in Artisan while I partake in my morning coffee.

Great coffee and great breakfast. Keep coming back !Ideal place for a lazy Sunday morning.A must if you are visiting Stockbridge

Out of our travel experience, this place sells most flavourful coffee with choicest of coffee beans. Each cup is bursting with flavour. They also sell coffee beans (Kenya,India, Columbia our faves) and we buy these regularly as well.The ambience is wacky, chilled out and cosy. They sell good cakes which go well with the coffee.

Excellent coffee, chilled atmosphere, cool interior, quality pastries. Faultless. They also serve cappuccino in the right volume, which makes a refreshing change!

You can be spoiled for choice for coffee shops in Stockbridge, Edinburgh. However the standout for consistantly good high quality coffee is Artisan Roast. Good sandwiches too. Well worth a visit.

They know their stuff about coffee here. Was in town for a few days and stopped by many times, practically filling up one of their punch cards for a few drink. Excellent coffee and espresso drinks and pastries.

Artisan can roast coffee to perfection, they can make excellent coffees in their cafes but they are so artisanal that their cafes are rough and ready to the point of uncomfortable shabby in-chic. We had coffees and a cake and while those were fine, we had to perch at wee tables. Maybe they see the market as take away.

I love this place - coffee is taken very seriously here. I ordered a Pepito, a preparation I had not had before, very strong, I loved it. Grab a stool or a seat outside or in the "parlour" and your barista will prepare your choice of coffee. Obviously a popular place but off the beaten track for tourists. Service is very friendly and as each order is prepared separately be prepared to take a seat and wait - it is worthwhile! There are bakery items but I did not try any this time.

We stopped by on Saturday morning to get some coffee to takeaway and enjoy over at Inverleith Park. The coffee is really well made and tastes delicious. We will definitely go back and try the cakes next time along with our coffee. Staff were friendly and clearly take pleasure in making your coffee and put the effort in.

An absolutely delicious slice of lemon drizzle with blue berries cake and Earl Grey tea served in the sunshine today. Definitely will be back and I have already looked the recipe up to try it myself!

Lovely small coffee shop in great location. Music was varied and at a perfect volume to allow for easy conversation. Coffee was perfect! I asked for milk and was given the option of hot or cold, the barista also left enough space in my coffee to add the extra milk. Excellent presentation and knowledge of the coffee. Although I didn't have a cake they looked great! I will be back here soon.

This is a nice little coffee shop and we enjoyed a relaxing coffee and bite to eat. The staff were friendly. The cafe is decorated in a rustic fashion which is nice.

I wonder how this place gets a supposedly good name for coffee making. It looks fantastic and the pattern on the top is exquisite but why is it lukewarm? Might be 65 degree milk but it must have been chilled cups as it could be downed in one ten seconds. Had another two made for us but just the same, might be needing their thermometers re-calibrated or is it guessed by ear or touch? We won't be back as others say there are a few cafes in Edinburgh so much better

We stopped in here for coffee and cake. The ordering is quite odd - you order at the bar but do not pay until you leave. We did offer to pay when we ordered (when there wasn't a queue), but there were loads of people milling around the till as we left and it took quite some time to get served when we wanted to leave, making me wonder how much money they must lose from people just walking out.The lemon and lavendar cake is delicious and the coffee is very well made. If they sort the odd ordering out it will be a great spot...

I have been meaning to come in here for ages as it looks lovely - recently done up and nice looking coffee and cakes. Never again!It was interesting to see a review below saying that staff were too busy rolling cigarettes and messing on phones as both of these things happened today when I was there too. I rarely write bad reviews on tripadvisor but really have little positive to say about this place. We were passing today so went in to check it out. Three staff behind the counter all too busy on their phones to bother themselves saying hello. After we had cleaned our own table which was covered with plates and cups, I went up to order coffee but again, their phone correspondence clearly took priority over serving paying customers. Eventually someone came to take my order. Coffee was ok. Cake looked nicer than it tasted. I am a stickler for customer service - or common courtesy at the very least. Will absolutely not be making a return visit. Far nicer and friendlier places in Stockbridge.

Really excellent coffee - always good to see an Aeropress in a coffee shop! Really nice helpful chap serving who also recommended some fantastic freshly roasted Kenyan beans for me to take home. Worth making the effort to seek out when your in Edinburgh.

Just reliably great coffee, served in a civil way. I've been a number of times and can't fault the caffeine hit I've got on any occasion. Isn't that the point?

Artisan has a earned a reputation in Edinburgh for serving up good coffee and has grown throughout Edinburgh and Glasgow. I met a friend for coffee today in the Stockbridge branch. I had the unpleasant experience of going to there loo. It really was very grubby, dark and dingy with a dribble of watered down hand soap. The lino was coming of the floor. I wonder how the staff wash there hands after they have used the loo and serving food and drinks up to customers. Needless to say. I ended up not using there toilet and left rather disappointed as the cafe itself was really nicely thought out. It's a shame that the detail hasn't been carried throughout. Not some where I would visit again.

Perfect independent coffee house, great coffee. Doesn't take card though so make sure you have cash! We only got take away but lots of choices of coffee and some seats if you want to drink in.

I don't usually write reviews but I feel I have to because I honestly can't believe how shockingly bad service was..We walked in and were met by 3 staff members glaring at us. Almost as if we stumbled into a party we weren't invited to. We stood there and the staff members just ignored us, played with their phones and fiddled with the music. Coffee was very small and toilet was downright filthy, looked like it hadn't been cleaned years.Upon trying to pay, the 3 staff members ignored us again. One staff member was actually rolling a cigarette in the coffee preparation area and next to the cakes while we were standing waiting to pay and only decided to serve after moaning that he 'the filters had gone missing'.I understand the whole look like we aren't trying hard vibe but then there is looking like you don't care at all and that customers are like dog crap on your shoe.Avoid and save your money or support a more caring business elsewhere.

I've been to this location once and is probably the only Artisan I'll ever go back to. The coffee is burnt, I have no idea why people think burnt coffee is good. The decor here is great, multiple rooms, seating out front with the flowers shop in and outside and the massive front windows, the awesome part.

A perfectly poured cappuccino. Silky,creamy, no aftertaste... For under £3... World class. Full of bearded hipsters but don't hold that against them ;)

Amazing coffee and delicious pastries. A must try for all in Edinburgh you won't look back. Great relaxed atmosphere.

I absolutely love this place! not only because their coffee is exceptional (wide range of different brews and ways of serving) but also service delivered always to the highest standards! Relaxed atmosphere, friendly, easygoing and so professional staff plus definitely best coffee on Stockbridge.

Coffee in here is delicious best in Stockbridge. Personally think they should do away with the flower area and have sofas in the whole shop.

I live near the store and go regularly because the coffee is fantastic. Unfortunately however, it is becoming increasingly difficult to justify. Every time I go in, the dark haired Australian barista with the nose ring and arm tattoo makes it uncomfortable. He is entirely unfriendly, rude and difficult. I've experienced it personally, and seen it experienced by other customers more than once. I work in a far busier hospitality venue than this place, and know that it can be challenging, but there's no need for the level of rudeness and pretension that this guy delivers.
