Hometown

you're on haddington road, east linton, which isn't the kind of place you pass through by accident. the mart building gives hometown coffee roaster a grounding that a high street unit couldn't, and the roasting operation here means what ends up in your cup started its life nearby, not in a warehouse distribution chain. east lothian has been quietly building a food and drink identity for years, and a roaster operating out of a working rural site fits that pattern better than any slick café concept would. the reviews sit high and they've stayed there, which takes consistency, not luck. if you're coming from haddington itself, it's a short drive east on the a199, and the morning filter is the reason to make it.
