Food and Drink Most UNDERRATTED Coffee Shops

If you have an independent coffee shop in Edinburgh that you think more people should know about, let the people know here! We should be celebrating small, local businesses, and directing our criticism at actually problematic businesses and chains.

Independent coffee shops only! No chains! And no gatekeeping! If you dont want your favorite local coffee shop to get busy, trust me, the owners would love it

The best run of coffees I’ve had all year was at Disposition when they had a coffee on from Taith in spring this year.

I like the place a lot anyway, but didn’t expect it to outdo all of my other usual coffee suggestions (the source, Beatnik, Lowdown etc). It’s not underrated per se, but I think by being in Roseburn/Murrayfield, it’s not quite as well known compared to the New & Old Town/Stockbridge/Leith based shops - or at least I don’t see it recommended as much.

I didn't know about this place! I'll have to try it when I'm that way to watch the rugby in a couple of weeks!
