About Cairngorm Coffee

Our story started in 2013 when a conversation in the Cairngorm National Park led to the dream of starting a quality focussed coffee shop in Scotland's capital city. An ensuing visit to Edinburgh to visit an empty sandwich shop on Frederick St paved the future for Cairngorm Coffee as we know it now. Let's cut out the third person malarkey.

I'm Robi Lambie, and I've been a part of the shops furniture ever since. In my time tagging along in the Scottish coffee scene I've been honoured do a bunch of cool stuff; from roasting coffee for, and judging the Scottish Aeropress Championships, to being part of a team to launch the currently on hiatus 'Barista Wars'. There's nothing I love more than to build a community around what we do and I think this is something that has been at the core of our business since day one.
