I loved the venue, perfect for the amount of people that I had, wouldn't be too good for more than 25 for a party. Staff was super friendly and helpful.

This is such a lovely space for a meeting. So much better than a soulless hotel conference room. They have great coffee and snacks and an amazing selection of records to browse between power points

Really loved this meeting venue, great location, coffee and facility. Will definitely come back and recommend.
Wifi was surprisingly slow but we managed to get by. Chairs could be a bit more comfortable.

About Slow Progress Records and Coffee
Versatile space in the back of a record and coffee shop in the Old Town of Edinburgh. Perfect for meetings, workshops, rehearsals, acoustic music/ spoken word performances. For meetings we can accommodate up to 16 people, and for performances we can fit a lot more.
The space has a calm and relaxed atmosphere, with a garden view out of the window and easy access to toilets.
The front of our business sells coffee and other hot drinks, soup and various snacks that you are welcome to take into the room with you. We also have a curated selection of new vinyl records for sale.
We currently do not have a full kitchen and also do not allow food to be brought into the room from outside the premises unless with prior permission.
Accessibility: the front of the shop is accessible, however the space is up 5 quite steep stairs so not wheelchair accessible. The toilets are on the same level as the event/ meeting space.
