Caffeine fixes at The Cobbled Roastery
SCOTT WILLIAMS’ MUM made the covers for the couple of seats in his shop to be used next time customers are allowed in the door. This is a nod to the homely atmosphere in the newest coffee shop in town. With its pared down look, the emphasis is truly on the beans which are roasted there daily. But although Scott and Vladimir Zadyraka, the founders of the business, have chosen a city centre location, they are not wholly dependent on customers coming to the front door for a daily caffeine fix.
Cobbled Roastery also has a coffee delivery service so that you can make your own fresh coffee while working from home.
When you join the Cobbled Club you will receive a freshly roasted 100% Arabica 250g bag delivered straight to your door once a week for four weeks.
You can choose between Roasted Beans, Ground Espresso, or Ground Cafetière for a monthly subscription.
Both Vladimir and Scott of the Cobbled Roastery are from Edinburgh, have years of experience in the hospitality industry, and had wanted to open a coffee emporium for some time, so even a pandemic was not going to get in their way.
Scott explained about buying beans from a coffee broker: “You tell them what you want - if you want something unusual or more mainstream - so we want something in the middle - vanilla textures with a nice smooth finish and a lovely crema on top. Something to suit everyone. Thistle Street now smells of coffee when we get going. The High Street roasters will over-roast their beans to give them a longer shelf life. Our USP is not to have them sitting on the shelves. We want them in your cup, in your cafetière and in your Moka pots in the house just as quickly as possible. And the beans have traceability all the way back to a farm in Colombia.”
