Lowdown Coffee
Edinburgh, East Lothian
Service is taken as seriously as the coffee at this pint-sized, basement-level café, and there's a relaxed buzz that makes you want to hang around. If you're not here for a caffeine hit – maybe a £10 coffee flight or a single-origin pour from one of the world's best roasteries – you might like to indulge in soup and a sandwich for under £10, or the decidedly less virtuous toasted chocolate banana bread with tahini, honey and mascarpone. Tea drinkers should note the selection of 'brewed to recipe' infusions from London's cult Postcard Teas.

I can't recommend Lowdown highly enough. Every time I'm in Edinburgh I head straight there. The care taken over the hand-poured coffee is exceptional and the food delicious. I wonder if they should have a policy to restrict the amount of time customers can sit over one coffee and their laptop. This would prevent other potential customers having to turn away and go elsewhere for their coffee.
