The makers

Part gallery, part coffee shop, part kitchen

“A hybrid: part gallery, part coffee shop and part kitchen, but 100% amazing.”

— Brian’s Coffee Spot, 2016

Kiosk (also known as Kiosk Project Space / Kiosk Cafe) is a petite cafe-gallery at 41 Fossgate, next to the Merchant Adventurers’ Hall. Coffee has historically featured Dark Woods and rotating single-origin espresso and filter.

Food comes from a tiny kitchen with a seasonal all-day breakfast and lunch board — sandwiches on homemade bread, soups, hashes, and cakes. Local ceramics and art line the walls.

The former kioskprojectspace.org site is reported dead on listings. Phones appear on aggregators. This demo is unofficial.
