The Best Things To See Do In Bruntsfield Edinburgh

The affluent area of Bruntsfield is just one of the many brilliants parts of Edinburgh. Originally referred to as Brounysfelde or Brown’s Fields — in honour of the owner of Bruntsfield House — this part of town was built upon a snippet of land within the Burgh Muir. Today, this buzzing little cultural hub is bursting at the brim with exciting things to see and do. Plan your day and take a tour of bonnie Bruntsfield.

1. Have A Cup Of Joe At Artisan Roast

Coffee Shop, British

What started as a pop up shop at the 2011 Fringe Festival is now a top-notch coffee house in Bruntsfield. Start the day with the alluring smell of artisanal coffee bubbling and brewing away. This snug cubbyhole of a place is as chilled as it is hip. Watch the baristas work their magic at the brew bar from one of the trendy high stools, or gaze outside and people-watch the world go by. The atmosphere is excellent and the coffee is to die for.

2. Satisfy That Sweet Tooth At Coco Chocolatier

Cafe, British

Coco Chocolatier is a purveyor of all things delicious. Once more, everything is ethically traded and organic too. Since 2004, this artisanal chocolatier has been hypnotizing Edinburgh’s chocolate lovers and building up a band of trusty groupies. The chocolate is hand-wrapped and handcrafted — an extra important touch that is a rarity these days — and is the melt-in-the-mouth kind of wonderful. Most of the chocs happen to be gluten-free, although you would never know. Test out the unique and yummy flavours and you’ll see that this place is as addictive as the treats inside.
