Have now visited the coffee house a few times and always enjoy it. I have had lunch before with my dad here and the staff are always very friendly. The soups and sandwiches are always amazing. It's also good just for coffee and cake and my friends always love it.

A great little tearoom right in the city centre. Great choice of drinks especially yes and super food. Friendly service, only problem it should be bigger as so popular.

We really really like this venue, quite a crowd of us!! Are regular visitors. Been with friends, family, could take anyone. Relaxed, simple understated classy decor; light and airy. Homemade cakes etc can't be faulted. Coffee great! Don't order a double shot though, I did and I buzzed all day; it's coffee that does the job!! A good read can... More

I've spent a lot of my time on recent visits to Aberdeen searching for somewhere to get genuinely good coffee, and sadly - despite it's name - this is not the place. My flat white was far too big, far too weak, and the milk was clearly scalded. It tasted a lot like the vending machine coffee you used to... More

I went in just to have a quick tea and cake before work and I absolutely loved it! The gentleman that served me was really lovely and fun. The atmosphere was just spot on. I cant wait to go back.

Been there twice recently and it's ok; nothing amazing. Both times I went were late afternoon and the display of the cakes was not the best.. There was either very small variety of cakes or they were smashed in pieces. Once, I was even server a broken one missing a part of the piece.

Very good place to have lunch. I was very impressed with the wide variety of food. I ordered the sweet potato soup and it was lovely. I also ordered a sandwich which wasn't as good as the soup but very satisfactory. The coffee afterwards was fantastic. The atmosphere is quite nice but it is a busy place! even though it... More

Normally, I would have chosen this place over any other coffee places in Aberdeen - the place is beautifully decorated, the owner is lovely and the cakes are scrumptious! However, recently I have found this place to be less than satisfactory. The food is quite low in quality and presentation. The sandwich that my friend ordered was sloppily placed on... More

I have always enjoyed independent coffee shops and have visited the coffee house a number of times since it opened. I used to really enjoy their coffee. Today however, I was in need of a soft drink and something to eat. After 3pm the options were a steak pie or quiche and salad. I plumped for the latter. Did I... More
