Cult Coffee Roasters in Edinburgh

Cult Coffee Roasters

Newington, Edinburgh

A long-running Southside cafe where house roasting, solid food, and a genuinely usable room all pull in the same direction.

Share

Cult Coffee Roasters has a cobalt-blue frontage on Buccleuch Street, exposed brick inside and a long, narrow room with seating on different levels. South of the Old Town, near the university and the Meadows, it serves espresso and filter coffee with breakfast and lunch.

Coffee

Cult began as a cafe before adding its own roastery. It serves house and guest coffees as espresso and filter, with beans and brewing equipment for sale. Staff can help explain the selection.

Food

The menu includes poached eggs on toast, breakfast platters, chicken Caesar sandwiches, cheese toasties, sourdough, cakes and pastries.

Service & Room

The café is friendly and busy, with space to work or catch up. Seating can fill up at peak times.

Why Filter Notes shortlisted Cult Coffee Roasters

Choose Cult when you want espresso or filter alongside breakfast or lunch on the Southside. The long room offers several seating areas, but tables can fill at peak times; it suits a busy café visit better than a quiet tasting.

“the cafe is long inside and has plenty of places for tables.”

“It’s very complex, with lots of fruit notes, but well-balanced. It was incredibly smooth”
