Williams & JohnsonCoffee Co

Zachary Williams and Todd Johnson, two baristas, started roasting in Leith in 2015 and built a micro-roastery model that keeps everything within sight of the Shore: green beans roasted on Custom Wharf, poured at their own café and supplied wholesale to the city's better kitchens. The international coffee press noticed early — Sprudge profiled them shortly after launch — and the operation has stayed deliberately small, which in speciality coffee is a choice rather than a limitation. Leith reinvented itself around its water; this is one of the reinventions worth the walk down Leith Walk for.
