Brew Lab serves expertly brewed single-origin coffees in a cozy, rustic spot near Edinburgh University, perfect for coffee geeks and casual sippers alike.
"Edinburgh’s coffee scene is thriving, and it would be remiss to not shout out a few more: Lowdown, for its forensic attention to detail and basement hideaway; Fortitude, for unfailingly warm service. Brew Lab is here for a few reasons beyond coffee : it’s open until 11p.m during the Fringe.; it serves Union of Genius soups (more on those later); it’s focussed on delivering a quality experience at speed, despite being near-permanently rammed during Fringe season." - James Hansen
"Located near The University of Edinburgh, Brew Lab is the brainchild of coffee aficionados Dave Law and Tom Hyde, who—as the shop's name suggests—take a scientific approach to brewing. A variety of pulled, brewed, and filtered phenomena prevail here, all highlighting methods and single-origin coffees from partner roaster Union-Hand Roasting. Each type of bean is selected to complement different milks or straight-up black espressos. In the afternoon, you can also order locally brewed Pilot beers." - Danielle Bernabe
