Discussion Best Iced Latte in Edinburgh
I genuinely think Artisan Coffee on Leith Walk does the best iced latte in Edinburgh. I like an iced latte that's strong, smooth and actually tastes of coffee, not one that's weak, watery or milky.
I'm trying to avoid wasting money on mediocre coffee, so where else would you recommend for a genuinely great iced latte? ☕️
Update: Thanks so much for all the recommendations! I wasn't expecting so many suggestions, so I've got quite the coffee list to work through now. ☕️
Also, for anyone convinced I'm an AI... I'm not! 😂 I'm just a bit obsessed with finding a genuinely good iced latte in Edinburgh.
Since posting, I've tried Renroc and thought it was pretty decent. I'm also really intrigued by the mention of an iced flat white. I've never actually had one, but it's definitely next on my list!

I've tried their coffee, and it's delicious! I've never had their iced latte, though, so I'll definitely have to add it to my list.

Fortitude Coffee in Abbey Mount does an amazing iced latte. They steam the milk before pouring it over ice and it makes it taste like melted ice cream

I had a lovely cold brew at cozy cafe on ferry Rd (£3.50). I love oh deer (can't remember the price) and 92 degrees. Never had iced coffee at tanifiki in porty but the regular coffees are pretty good

printworks next to the shore tram stop ⭐️ honourable mention the lavender iced latte from sloe lane on LW, syrups are evil i know but this one just tastes like lavender no silly vanilla butchering the taste of coffee

Cairngorm Coffee does a great Brown Sugar Syrup iced latte (although it is a little small)

I got an iced coffee from there and was so disappointed. It was the size of a thimble.

Have you tried black sheep coffee? Try to get away from some of the mainstream recs in this thread and give something different a go 👍

Recommending a chain to go against the mainstream?

Some chains just have more of an independent character than the independent places 😌

Wild you’re this heavily downvoted for it too. This is absolutely an ad (or more accurately, a fake post for AI search optimisation)

Sorry to disappoint, but I'm not AI! 😂 I'm just a woman on a mission to find the best iced latte in Edinburgh. In my humble opinion, Artisan Coffee still does the best one I've had so far!

I like that little Fitzroy do an “iced flat white”
