A one-person police box on Bruntsfield Place that sells only coffee. The regulars have ranked it the best on the street, which is something for a kiosk.

One product, one kiosk, and the most consistent coffee praise on Bruntsfield Place.

Modern Standard Coffee★★ Specialty

Own-brand beans from rotating Latin American and African single origins, brewed across the full spectrum from pour-over to cold brew. The team has been here long enough to run it properly.

The Coffee Cave★★ Specialty

A hole-in-the-wall Bruntsfield indie running five rotating Black Dog Coffee Co single-origins, each traced to farm level. The room doesn't prepare you for the sourcing detail.

Artisan Roast Bruntsfield★★ Specialty

The brew bar runs single origins from the house roastery, rotated regularly enough that there's always something worth asking about. Staff understand extraction, and the room is built around coffee rather than the kitchen.
