Williams and Johnson posted on Facebook in December of last year and announced they had opened and launched their micro bakery, and hired a baker who will be based at the store.
This means all their products will be created in store, and will be unique to their Leith eatery.
They explain more on their website: “We pride ourselves on our seasonally curated coffees, and our selection changes through the year as we continue to source new fresh crop beans.
“All our coffees are single origin, to celebrate their individual characters.
“We roast in small batches in our café in Leith.
"Each coffee is roasted very specifically to its own roast profile, carefully designed to evoke the bean’s natural character and best flavour.
“Our flagship café is situated in the same space as our Probat 12kg roaster where we roast and pack all of our coffees.
“Visit us to learn a little bit more about the whole process or just to enjoy a lovingly prepared coffee in a beautiful setting.
“Don’t forget you can wander around the gallery at Custom Lane or get your coffee to take away and enjoy a wander along the scenic water of Leith.”
The Customs Lane art space is a “collaborative platform created to identify, support and celebrate emerging world-class design in Scotland.”
The hire space for a yoga studio, community workshop, architects and designers, fashion designers and Williams and Johnson.
The cafe is open seven days a week, Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 5pm, Saturday from 9am to 5pm and Sunday opening hours are 10am to 4pm.
