A Nicolson Street fixture for over two decades, Black Medicine is one of Edinburgh's longest-running independent specialty coffee shops and occupies a large ground-floor space close to the university. The evening study sessions offering unlimited coffee for a flat fee have become a student institution. Consistent espresso quality and a full food menu running until early evening keep it relevant across different audiences.
