SUMMER AT ORIGIN COFFEE EDINBURGH

Introducing the summer series at Origin Coffee. The award-winning B Corp-certified speciality coffee roasters will be hosting guest chef pop-up dinners across August with Sando and chef Archie Herbert, coffee soft-serve with Oatly, and a Negroni bar with local distiller Electric Spirit Co.

GUEST CHEF POP-UPS

Throughout August, Origin Coffee on South College Street will be hosting dinner events with a Japanese-inspired small plate set menu from Sando and a Korean-inspired menu from Archie Herbert.

Kicking things off with Sando between 5th and 11th August, guests can enjoy a fun, five-course menu starting with Wasabi pea-dusted popcorn; followed by 100-layer potato and soy-cured egg yolk served with chilli crisp and chives. Main dishes include an option of Chicken or cauliflower Karaage with miso aioli and pickled ginger; and a Katsu sando with white cabbage and katsu sauce. To finish, an indulgent, pillowy soft Milk bread French toast pudding served with coffee soft serve and yuzu caramel sauce for a hint of umami.

Tickets for the Sando dinners are available online from £40 per person from 5th - 11th August. Two sittings are available to choose from between 6-8pm and 9-11pm.

From 14th to 18th August, Chef Archie Herbert will be hosting a Korean-inspired three-course menu. The casual menu starts with House pickles, Kimchi, and pickled baby cucumbers; followed by a moreish rice bowl of Gochujang marinated pork belly, spicy kimchi, soutéed miso shimeji mushrooms, smacked cucumbers, pickled radish, Korean Mayak ‘drug’ egg and Korean mayonnaise served on a bed of sushi rice. For dessert, a Wasabi ice cream with pistachio for a sweet, spicy, and salty finish.

Tickets for Archie’s dinner will be £28 per person from 14th - 18th August and are available to buy online.

ORIGIN X OATLY

Together with Oatly, Origin is serving a limited edition Origin x Oatly coffee soft serve throughout the summer. Available in tubs, Beija Flor, one of the most popular mainstay single origin coffees is used to create the nostalgic and creamy ice cream perfect for coffee aficionados and dessert enthusiasts alike, offering a sophisticated twist on traditional soft serve.

ORIGIN COFFEE X ELECTRIC SPIRIT CO NEGRONI BAR

Finally, Origin Coffee will join forces with Edinburgh distillery Electric Spirit Co to launch the Electric x Origin Negroni Bar, transforming the coffee shop into a bar space just a stone's throw from the heart of the Fringe.

Throughout August, the bar will offer Electric Spirit Co’s new Kegroni, bringing quality negronis-on-tap to Origin Coffee. The Kegroni combines Electric Spirit Co’s award-winning Achroous gin with aromatic Bitter Fusetti and Valentian Vermouth, making for an exceptional negroni to be enjoyed pre, post, or in between performances.
