Highland Capital Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 As a woke, man bag-carrying, podcast-listening, avocado toast-eating gentleman, I like a coffee shop. For me - Project Coffee on Bruntsfield Place in Morningside (?) is my personal favourite closely followed by Velocity in Inverness. What are your favourites? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice food and coffee, and never too bisy because of all the fuds who queue up for Tim Hortons instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) I'm wary that the coffee aroma in Velocity might be overwhelmed by sweaty cyclists, but as the owner of a brand new and wonderful bean to cup machine, what do you think of the Inverness Coffee Roasting Company on Chapel Street?

Dan Steele Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Has to be the Wee Bear Cafe at Lintrathen. A bit out of the way but well worth the trip. Absolutely outstanding coffee, brilliant home made cakes and great music always playing. Rerr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorongil Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Gro cafe in Nationalist Irvine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Blend in Paisley, Dean’s on Byres Road, Cafe des Fleurs in Dollar, Cafe Continental in Gourock, any number of good independents in the Haymarket area of Embra’. Another place that does a nice coffee (and home made scones) is the cafe at the Wallace Monument in Stirling. Not nasty touristy stuff, really nice home made scran’. A surprisingly good find… IMHO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modern Standard just a few hundred yards further down the road just pips it for me. There are actually too many good coffee shops in the area tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly better than the dross dished out by those costa machines popping up everywhere. Which, unless the pipes are cleaned every few minutes pump out something akin to yesterdays dishwater. Cheap too. Which is nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not bought beans from them but they've got some good stuff. The Yirgacheffe is my go to one, plus whatever their monthly special is. 2 hours ago, Highland Capital said: Another one I like is Cup & Cone in the Crown. +1 for Cup & Cone. I think they use the Roasting Company coffee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Gordon St Coffee is lovely stuff. I do enjoy the odd latte from Costa but since I've started to take my coffee black I can confirm Costa's coffee is bogging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Saline Shaw Near Saline, childhood home to some P&B posters. The cakes are ace, coffee really good, best lentil soup anywhere and some lovely sandwiches. Need a bike or car to get there. Great view of the Ochils too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costa sell more cups of coffee in the UK than anyone else (thanks in no small part to those Costa machines you see) so people clearly agree with this. McDonald's is second on that list btw, which backs up what @UsedToGoToCentralPark said earlier. FWIW I find both absolutely OK. Nothing special, but not offensive either.
