Cowan and Sons

10 Best Coffee Shops in Edinburgh | Condé Nast Traveler

"In the midst of Stockbridge’s bakeries and thrift shops, the husband-and-wife run Cowan & Sons has steadfastly served the neighborhood for more than 18 years. Distressed white and seafoam-green tiles are keepsakes from the building’s historic roots as a fishmonger's shop; repurposed objects discovered during its restoration were given new life as décor. Mornings offer cappuccinos and other standard coffees, which are brewed from Williams & Johnson Coffee Co. beans; for a little flair, order a matcha or turmeric latte. In the afternoon, trade in the caffeine buzz for European wines, Scottish beers and ciders, or the cheeky list of cocktails." - Danielle Bernabe
