Williams & Johnson serves coffee inside Custom Lane at the Shore in Leith, Edinburgh's waterfront district northeast of the city centre. Roasting, packing, bean sales and café service share the building, which houses a 12kg Probat roaster.
Coffee
The coffee selection changes with the harvests. Single-origin beans are roasted in small batches for espresso and filter, and bags are available to take home. Ask what is on the bar when you visit; specific origins and flavour notes change as lots sell through.
Service & Room
The café is inside Custom Lane, with covered cobbled seating near the Water of Leith. Beans are available to take home.
Custom Lane also has a gallery, and the covered outdoor seating is close to the Water of Leith.
Why Filter Notes shortlisted Williams & Johnson
Head to the Shore for single-origin espresso and filter beside the roasting equipment, fresh baking and covered courtyard seating. It fits a Leith walking route particularly well, with the Water of Leith just outside.
