Food Scene
The food here is great! The place is small, only seats around 12 people in total but worth going to.
Try the scrambled egg with mozzarella or the roast asparagus, eggs and hollandaise, or anything else, it's all amazing.

One of the original sparks to ignite the explosion of Artisan coffee in Scotland, Artisan Roast was the first speciality coffee shop and roastery in Scotland. First opening its doors in 2007, the Broughton Street branch is where it all began, and even though the roastery has
outgrown its home and made a new one nearby, the cafe remains one of the city’s busiest coffee hangouts. Along with an extensive range of brewing methods and a good selection of espressos pulled through the sleek Mirage Kees van der Westen machine, the coffee shop offers hot soups and a delicious range of bakes, as well as a superior class of banter and advice, plus lost key storage for those who pass through.
