Kogarashi Coffee

good roasting in kilmarnock isn't something you stumble across every day, which makes kogarashi coffee on the portland road worth knowing about. they roast their own beans, which puts them in a different category entirely from shops that simply resell someone else's work. that control over the supply chain matters more than it might sound: when something tastes off, they can fix it. when something's good, they know why. you won't find that kind of accountability at most places. the reviews back this up consistently, and not in a quiet, polite way. people keep coming back, which in a mid-sized scottish town says more than any single opinion could. if you're in kilmarnock, make the stop on portland road and order whatever's freshest off the roast.
