The decaf espresso was outstanding I must say. As there aren’t many good decaf around so it was refreshing to find such long note of toffee and acidity in this espresso. And its bean pricing is also very reasonable - £8.5 for 200g. The barista was most helpful in sharing his tips in the grinding and brewing of this bean. Thanks barista! This is truly a fantastic gem I highly recommended.
One of, if not THE best coffee shops in Edinburgh, beautifully smooth coffee every time, perfect temperature (never burning the milk), baristas are all lovely, fantastic people and the atmosphere is just great. Highly recommend their gorgeous coffee. 😊
Fantastic coffee-first cafe on the edge of Bruntsfield Links.
There's a good range of sweet treats, but really you come here for their passion for coffee. They sell it retail and wholesale as well as running the cafe, and the baristas here are clearly very talented.
Dog-friendly as well, which is handy if you've been meandering around the Meadows or the Links to wear your canine companion out!
I was impressed by the Blue of their decorations. The coffee was so nice. I tried Dirty Chai today, and it really impressed me!
There seems to be an excessive amount of cafe in Edinburgh and not many of them deliverer real quality coffee. Modern Standard Coffee is surely one of the finest I have visited in the city. No mediocre commercial coffee, and they’ve got a own brand of beans (Latin American / African beans) for sale. A two-storey cafe with a simple and cosy environment.
I had an amazing time in Modern Standard over the last two days of my trip in Edinburgh. The coffees were amazing the whole experience was made even more memorable by the talented baristas working behind the bar. Looking forward to my next visit!
Cosy, casual spot to sit in for a coffee. Would recommend upstairs for a quieter visit or sitting by the window to people watch. Really like the energy in here, which I'm sure is down to the members of staff, they're all super friendly and on the ball. Would definitely recommend a visit.
The morning buns and cinnamon doughnuts are particularly delicious!
Such a great cafe with delicious coffee. Interior has lots of space for seating and is clean and simple design. Very pleasing and lovely to sit down for a cup of coffee. Definitely recommend checking out!!
Best coffee in edinburgh and the pastries are great too! The people who work there are so friendly and always welcoming too 😊 Have to stop myself from going every day!
Coffee is one of my favourites in UK, croissants are perfectly laminated and goes so well with their butter/jam, not to mention the best staff!!
Fantastic coffee, superb ambience, and wonderful staff.
Cannot recommend highly enough! 8)
Dog friendly, excellent cappuccino, professional staff, delicious vegan cake
What an amazing place!
One of the best coffee( if not the best) in Edinburgh, amazing pastry and the friendliest team working there!
And the Secret Vanilla Latte is soo good!
Totally recommend this to everyone!
This is hands down my favourite coffee shop in Edinburgh, and I spend half my life in coffee shops! Amazingly friendly people work there, it is loudly pro LGBT+, and they have a great coffee bag return incentive.
I am really nervous around dogs though, and there is always a dog there without fail because it's so dog friendly. I know this is a plus for most people, so I just wanted to flag this for anyone else like me.
Discovered this place today, right after sledding in bruntsfield links :-) The flat whites and apple pastry were perfect, and the whole vibe was super friendly! I particularly liked the bicycle pump and doggie water bowl outside the door - very kind and much needed!
LOVELY. Great filter coffee with refills, very tasty cake, friendly staff. Top tip - donuts with sugar on the outside, while they are delicious, don't go well with hand sanitizer.
Great coffee and lots of seating upstairs! Would recommend to any coffee lovers
Great to see another cafe open nearby, the coffee was lovely. Staff is nice. Good to see markings where to stand for collection and where to queue, something other places lack. Would be great to pop in and sit down once lockdown is over.
What a delightful little gem. Vegan cinnamon rolls and delicious coffee, friendly staff, slick interiors - would definitely recommend!
