Our story · Since 2023

For the love of a good book

Some places make
you turn a page.
This one lets you stay.

We opened our doors on Home St in March 2023, bringing books and coffee together beneath warm lights and beside old stone walls.

With around 300 old books to browse, a fireplace and leather armchairs, there's always a reason to settle into another chapter.

Take a look around
The fireside seat — a scone with jam and clotted cream, and a hot chocolate by the stove
Two cups with leaf latte art on the wooden counter
A cup with character.

The other half of the story

Good coffee. Lovely little details.

Just as much
character in the cup.

Beans roasted right here in Edinburgh. Beautifully individual cups and plates with a handmade feel. The little things are part of the pleasure.

From your morning coffee to an unhurried evening read, make a little time for your favourite corner.

Our locally roasted coffee story began with our 2023 opening, as featured in Edinburgh Live.
