Service from Artisan Roast

The service I received from Artisan Roast when I needed to exchange some goods was just excellent. They went out of their way to locate the item I wanted. Communication was so good when the product was difficult to source and they were so lovely, polite abd efficient. Thank you Artisan Roast! Kath R

Exceptional Customer Service

Being a bit of a coffee noob, I popped into their shop in Broughton Street to buy my first bag of beans. They couldn't have been more helpful - talking me through the options, and even giving me a small cup of grounds away with me to show what kind of grind level I should be aiming for, for my Aeropress - excellent service.
After my first bag of beans ran out I ordered some different varieties using their online store. Thanks to my own silly error I ordered green beans for one of the bags instead of roasted beans. When I let them know they immediately shipped a replacement bag of roasted beans and asked me to either mail the green beans back or drop them off at a store - again, excellent service.
And the beans? I've only opened 2 of the 4 bags purchased so far, but they are both excellent.

Best coffee

I've bought coffee from a few different mail order companies over the years. The coffee from Artisan Roast is definitely the best I've tasted. Great quality and taste.

Webchat was very helpful. Thanks Olivia

I made an order for collection and recieved some confusing emails. I got onto their webchat and Olivia was excellent in contacting the collection cafe and enquiring about my order. She passed the information down to me immediately and was very helpful in answering my questions.

Subscription service is great!

I've been using the subscription service for a while now, so that I don't have to try and remember to pick up good coffee beans when in town! For me it's well worth the small postage cost for the convenience. The quality of coffee is always amazing and it's nice that they send a surprise variety/roast each time, with a wee description card. When I needed to skip a month, they sorted this for me straight away and it didn't incur any extra fee.

Everything about AR screams quality

I adore Artisan Roast!
Quality- The quality of coffee is amazing, choice is great, you can find some gems! Very carefully selected collection which changes regularly, which is dream come true for anywhere who wants to have unique experience. I order my coffee for home usage, on regular basic, love to wake up to quality delicious coffee (usually French press)
Website- each coffee is very well described, great help when you are unsure which coffee to go for, also if you don’t know much about types of coffee and regions , you can learn a lot! Also very aesthetically pleasing.
Customer service-professional, quick and helpful. I recently made a mistake with my order and contacted CS, Olivia was amazing.
Price- considering the quality of coffee you are getting which is very high, and service I really think products are very well priced. Plus free delivery is such a bonus, grateful! AR please don’t ever take it away :)

Very Good Experience

We had a few questions, mostly as a result of our own missteps and Olivia from customer service was just terrific in sorting it out proactively, including forwarding to me an email unintentionally sent to Artisan by a family member that was intended for me!

Great beans, great online help…

I buy beans from Artisan Roast once every couple of months - there’s a few really good options in Edinburgh and I like to use them all. AR has some unique roasts (whiskey thief) that I’ve really enjoyed and always like to try.

The online help I’ve received has been very good too.

Would recommend.

The best coffee beans!

The best coffee beans!! We get a monthly subscription of the decaf coffee beans - they are freshly roasted and taste absolutely incredible! I’ve always struggled to get good tasting decaf coffee beans until I came across artisan coffee roasters! Any friends or family who taste it cannot tell it’s decaf!
We’ve also ordered the various different caffeinated coffee beans and given them as gifts which friends/family have loved!
Customer service is excellent and Olivia answers any queries/replies immediately.
Couldn’t recommend more!!

It was ok

It was ok - didn’t listen to my request, remade the drink (a luke warm chai latte which I asked to be a bit warmer) but it was exactly the same. I know they will tell me about optimal temps but this was not ‘my’ optimal. Staff pretty indifferent and not particularly friendly. Left the drink and the cafe 😢

I love their cafe in Leith

I love their cafe in Leith. Great coffee and very pleasant staff. Also, as the cafe doesn't have wi-fi, you rarely get customers having long, loud conversations on their phone which is a real bonus for me.

Best coffee in Scotland

I'm buying coffee and equipment from Artisan Roast for years and their coffee is consistently of a top quality that can be bought in Scotland for great price. I like trying new roasteries across UK, but Artisan Roast are the only ones that I have a coffee subscriptions from since I know I can rely on them that much.
Whenever I needed to contact them about anything their customer support is excellent, responsive, positive and always helped me out.
Honestly if you are after excellent coffee grab a bag or two from them, totally worth it.
Keep up the great job you are doing guys.
