About Us
Slow Progress is an independent vinyl record and coffee shop located in Edinburgh's Old Town, opened in 2022.
We stock a curated selection of new vinyl across various genres; indie-rock, alt-rock, punk, emo, hardcore, post-hardcore, post-rock along with an increasing selection of modern-pop, electronica and hip-hop.

In the shop, alongside our records, we serve up fresh Santu coffee and snacks. We are vegan friendly so won't charge you extra for oat milk. Come in for a drink and a browse, or order from the comfort of your own home to collect in-store or via our UK delivery service.
