Local partners
Machina are a speciality coffee roaster and café based in Edinburgh, with their roastery just behind Arthur’s Seat. They roast fresh, seasonal coffee for independent cafés and venues across the UK - and now, for us too.
Thanks to Machina, you’ll be starting your mornings with locally roasted goodness at our events. Their coffee is ethically sourced, expertly roasted, and full of flavour, made by a team who genuinely love what they do.
Company Bakery is an Edinburgh favourite, known for its award-winning sourdough that’s earned top honours at the Scottish Bread Championships. Everything is made using wild fermentation, local grains and a deep love for the craft.
You’ll find crisp, crusty loaves, pillowy vegan cinnamon buns, gooey brownies and flaky pastries. Their café is bright and Scandi-inspired - a cosy, welcoming space built around community.
They already supply some of the city’s best cafés, restaurants and shops, and deliver fresh bread straight to doorsteps. Now, they’re bringing the good stuff to early risers too.
Foxglove Offices is a bright and thoughtfully designed workspace in the heart of Leith, Edinburgh. Known for its warm, creative energy and attention to detail, it offers a calm and inspiring setting for freelancers, small teams and growing businesses.
The space combines comfort with functionality - think leafy corners facing Leith Links, natural light, quiet focus areas and well-equipped meeting rooms. Members get 24/7 access, fast fibre broadband, bike storage, showers and free parking.
Additional details
This month’s theme is Mentor, and we’re thrilled to be joined by the brilliant team at Creative Edinburgh for a hands-on session that brings it to life.
They’ll lead us through an inspiring and practical introduction to mentoring, showing how thoughtful conversations can open new doors and spark ideas. You might be thinking about becoming a mentor, looking for guidance, or be curious to meet others in the creative community. This is the perfect place to start.
Creative Edinburgh is the city’s largest network for creatives, supporting thousands of designers, artists, developers, writers, filmmakers and more. Through mentoring, events and community-building, they connect the dots between people, ideas and opportunities. We’re delighted to have them share their expertise with the CreativeMornings community.
What to expect: - A relaxed, fun introduction to mentoring (no prep needed) - Two short, meaningful conversations with fellow creatives, guided by prompts - Time to mingle, reflect, and pin your ideas to the wall
