"For coffee lovers, from coffee lovers." At home & on the go.
Who We Are
At The Milkman, we are a team of coffee enthusiasts who are passionate about delivering high-quality speciality coffee to our customers. Our journey began in 2015 when our founder, Mark, transformed an old candy shop in Edinburgh's Old Town into a stylish and cosy coffee shop. We take pride in our commitment to supporting small businesses and working with local roasteries to source the finest coffee beans.
Our Coffee
We believe that speciality coffee should be approachable and open to everyone, regardless of whether you're a coffee connoisseur or not. Our expert baristas are always happy to help you choose the best coffee for your taste buds. We source our coffee from local and international roasteries that share our values of sustainability and fair trade practices. From our espresso to our filter coffee, we use only the finest beans to ensure that every cup is a delight.
Our Cakes
While coffee is our specialty, we know that sometimes you need something more to accompany your perfect cup. That's why we offer a range of delicious cakes from local bakeries to pair with your coffee. Our cakes cater to all dietary requirements, including vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options. Whether you're in the mood for something sweet and indulgent or light and refreshing, we have something to satisfy your cravings.
Our Products
At The Milkman, we're not just about coffee. We also offer a range of unique products that make perfect gifts or treats for yourself. From our signature coffee mugs to our exclusive Merchandise, our products are designed to delight coffee lovers of all ages. Browse our online store to discover our limited-edition bundles, handmade ceramic keepcups, and more.
Our Story
The Milkman's story dates back to Mark's great grandfather, who was a horse-drawn milkman in Huntly, Aberdeenshire. Our name is a nod to his legacy, symbolizing the spirit of authenticity and hard work. We are committed to delivering the same values to our customers, ensuring that every cup of coffee is a reflection of our passion and dedication to quality.
