Spoiled for choice in the Newington area, Machina Espresso is definitely my go to for coffee and a quick bite to eat in the area.
A great place to get away from the rain, cosy nooks with cushions in each side of the shop add to the warm atmosphere and I could have stayed there all day. The service was excellent from the minute I walked through the door, being greeted and ask how my day was so far.
I went here for a light breakfast getting a pain au chocolat and a couple of coffees. There were two different blends on that day which I tried after hearing them described so enthusiastically by the barista.
The Guatemala sierra morena coffee was strong, delicious and perfect initial pick me up. Though the Ethiopian blend was my favourite, with a smooth yet rich flavour with fruity sweet notes.
The pain au chocolat reminded me of the patisseries I would get during my time in France and it was hard to not indulge in another.
The decor has contemporary wooden industrial structures with plants featured around the shop.
I'll definitely be returning for lunch if in the area, as the sandwiches that were coming out as I left looked delicious and filling.
I'd fully recommend popping into here for a coffee and a bite to eat if you're in the area.
Hands down the best coffee I’ve tasted in Edinburgh this place is a must if you’re a coffee lover. Amazing and quick service , small cafe but has really great vibe to it.
Great. Coffee. I went there with a friend to grab a cup; he had a cappuccino while I took a latte, and we both agreed our coffee was delicious. Soft yet rich and tasteful, and at the perfect temperature. A good thing, too, is that the mugs aren't too small. Although you are likely to finish your coffee in a few seconds anyways because of how good it is.
This coffee literally put a smile on my face.
