A warm welcome

A quiet corner of
Morningside.

Arsemia opened its doors on Morningside Road with a simple idea: that a well-made coffee and an unhurried breakfast can set the shape of a whole day.

We work with small roasters, independent bakers and growers across Scotland. Our kitchen is open from early, and the kettle is always on.

Our Coffee
& Kitchen.

Two things we care about, equally. Beautifully extracted espresso and seasonal plates built around British produce — simple, generous and shared.

Espresso being poured
The Coffee

Specialty beans, roasted in small lots.

A rotating single-origin from Ethiopia, Colombia and Rwanda alongside our Arsemia house blend — chocolate, hazelnut, long and sweet.

Brunch plate with eggs
The Kitchen

Slow breakfasts and all-day brunch.

Sourdough from a Leith bakery, free-range eggs from East Lothian, pastries made fresh each morning. Dishes change gently with the seasons.

morning menu.

Our Story

Built around slow mornings and a very good cup.

Arsemia started as two friends, one espresso machine and a stubborn belief that a neighbourhood cafe can set the tone for a city. Four years on, we are still that — only with more pastries.
