A Special Treat in Aberdeenshire

Lovely home made scones and cake in good atmosphere and good service and a nice lunch menu well worth a visit you won't be disappointed

We dropped in for lunch and were pleasantly surprised. The gentleman who served us was very friendly and keen to ensure we got exactly what we wanted. The food was delivered reasonably quickly and was fresh, hot, and tasty. I also had a friendly chat with the gent when paying the bill, and he told me how I could get in touch with Jimmy Buchan, one of my heroes. This was really appreciated as I met up with Jimmy, which was fantastic. .....thanks heaps.

Un salon de thé à ne pas rater si vous venez à Peterhead. La pâtisserie est faite maison, en petite quantité, avec des produits de qualité. Certainement les meilleurs scones que j’ai jamais mangés. Je vous conseille le scone au fudge avec la clotted cream. Une tuerie. Le biscuit millionnaire absolument délicieux. Et les cappuccinos généreux et gourmands. En plus l’accueil est chaleureux et bienveillant, on se sent presque en famille. Tout ça dans une gamme de prix raisonnables. Un conseil, profitez de l’offre 4 scones a emporter. Vous ne le regretterez pas.

Lovely lunch, well presented and good value for money, place was very clean and the staff were very friendly

We had a lovely lunch of homemade soup and sandwiches followed by homemade cake. My husband had an apple and cinnamon scone and said it was the best he had even tasted. The gentleman whom served us was very friendly and informative about the local area. We would definitely visit again if in the area, highly recommend.

I had lunch here on two consecutive days. The place is immaculately clean, and tables are cleared as soon as the customers have left, the tables sanitised and the floor around the table swept. The service is very good. The portions are small, but tasty, there are home made as well as baker supplied cakes. It’s a cafe that seems popular with the locals, proven by the footfall. The computerised coffee machine produces coffee that didn’t appeal to me, so I took tea on the second day. It appears though that a decent cup of coffee is hard to find in Peterhead in my experience, nonetheless, from the obvious efforts in all other matters the place is worth a five star rating.

Had lunch with friends today. Excellent food and service! Definitely be back and thoroughly recommend for place to eat in Peterhead

Lovely friendly cafe. I tried the red velvet hot chocolate and can say it was delicious. Also had the millionaires shortbread which was very nice too.

Just nipped in for a quick cup of tea and ended up enjoying some lovely homemade scones. Very friendly staff and would recommend.

Absolutely lovely place. The service is very friendly, warm and welcoming and the food is high quality, homemade a delicious. Can particularly recommend the strawberry and white chocolate scone! Very clean and stringent in terms of covid regulation compliance and social distancing also. Super experience and will deff be regulars now. 10/10

Lovely cozy cafe, food was a treat and staff are very helpful and friendly, definitely recommend a visit

My husband and I frequent the Special Treat regularly, for our coffee and cakes. Lovely atmosphere, and the staff are lovely nothings too much trouble for them.

Lovely lunch and fine homebakes,served by friendly,pleasant and very helpful staff. Well worth a visit.

Went to A Special Treat during the Seafood Festival. The place was incredibly busy but the staff provided excellent service and there was a friendly atmosphere. I had the most delicious Cullen Skink, which was perfectly made and seasoned. This was served with very fresh bread and the coffee was first class. I had no room after this, but the home bakes looked very good. No skimping on the quality of the ingredients either and my meal was good value for money. I noticed that the restaurant was scrupulously clean and full of local people which is always a good sign. Next time I am in Peterhead I will definitely return.

Very friendly staff - really good for - don’t miss this coffee shop/ tearoom if you are shopping in Peterhead. Convenient location in town centre.

I go to A Special Treat regularly either through work or with family. The staff are amazing and they are so accommodating as they regularly check their products to see if they are suitable for me to eat and also make sure that there are vegan products available such as their lime and coconut cake and some of their soups which are delicious. I would recommend anyone who hasn’t given it a try to do so. You won’t be disappointed 😊
