Roasted by the people pouring it
Grain and Grind is a coffee roaster and wholesale supplier as well as a café business, with a Master Roaster overseeing its beans. Coffee is sourced directly from growers, with origins such as Brazil, Uganda and Guatemala appearing on the list, so the café is a good place to try something beyond a house blend. New coffees arrive at the roastery regularly.
In the café
Expect espresso drinks made with the company's own roasts and a counter of cakes and bakes. If you find a coffee you like, beans are sold in the shops as well as online, along with brew bags, bundles and subscriptions that make a practical souvenir of a Highland trip. Orders online over £8 qualify for free delivery, handy for restocking once you are home.
A west-bank stop
Tomnahurich Street meets Young Street just over Ness Bridge, so this is an easy first stop when crossing from the city centre, or a pause on a riverside walk towards the Ness Islands. The Glenalbyn Bar, Prime and Encore Une Fois are all within a minute or two for later in the day, and the Columba Hotel is close by.
