This review is taken from the current (2012) edition.
Given the West End’s upmarket reputation and affluent surroundings, it always seemed an oversight that you couldn’t get a really good cup of coffee anywhere. Thanks to Brass and Copper, ladies who lunch can now latte too. Neat and understated, with white-washed walls doubling as a gallery space, it isn’t purely the domain of those who frequent the area’s trendy boutiques; it’s a favourite with local professionals and residents too – in fact, anyone that appreciates decent coffee. Owned and run by siblings Joel and Tara Klein (who make all the cakes, pastries and nibbles themselves), it’s very much ‘coffee with complements’ rather than full-blown café, but what little they do, they do very well indeed. Even if you’re not addicted to the roasted bean, snacks such as chorizo, mozzarella and chilli jam panini and the rich, moist sticky stem ginger cake make it worthwhile stopping by.
- High point: Top-notch coffee
- Low point: Not open at the weekend

Brass & Copper CoffeeReport -
Excellent coffee, delicious - as well as colourful - soup and sandwiches, along with great tray bakes and pastries. This coffee house is new to the west end and is run by a very affable brother and sister team. There's exhibitions for you to muse whilst you sit in with your coffee or soup. The atmosphere is calm, understated with a classic, contemporary style. I think this place is well worth a visit - it's so much more worthwhile than the dull high street brands on offer.
