Fancy somewhere to have a coffee where there is no problem with parking and there is free wifi?
300 Edinburgh coffee drinkers were today rewarded with a complimentary stylish reusable Bert’s Coffee Mug when Edinburgh’s award winning Corn Exchange opened its doors of new venture – Bert’s Coffee Bar.
The idea for the coffee bar came about after numerous and repeated requests from clients, local businesses and friends of the Corn Exchange who wanted somewhere they could get a high quality barista style coffee experience.
The Corn Exchange is a family run business and “Bert’s” is named after second generation Bert Demarco who is renowned for his love of quality coffee.
Scott Snedden, Venue Manager commented:- “After a significant financial investment and many months of planning, training, and hours of coffee and cake tasting we are delighted that Bert’s Coffee Bar is now open for business. The aim is to offer a consistently high quality Barista experience for our customers old and new. Having retained all the original features of the listed building, the atmosphere is stylish and welcoming at the same time family and business friendly. Offering free Wi-Fi has also meant that on day one we already have several hundred social media followers. “
The coffee bar, the first of its kind in the Slateford area of the city is located within the stylish grade 1 listed original part of the Corn Exchange on Newmarket Road, Edinburgh. It offers just over 50 seats, and during the warmer summer months for those who prefer their coffee al fresco there will be tables located outside the main entrance.
