Almondine in Aberdeen City

This place has certainly gone down hill, we visited on Saturday Sept 28 morning, the service was terrible, coffees were cold … We certainly won’t return.

Delightful afternoon tea , everything was just perfect and so beautifully presented, special mention for the crème brûlée macaron , just amazing. Service was excellent we could not fault anything.

I have just had a lovely cappuccino and croissant with a salted caramel macaron on the side. The music is at a perfect level and the atmosphere is relaxed. I haven't been here before but I will be back.

I fell in love with Almondine as soon as I saw its welcoming presence. I didn't have food but the patisserie selection looked INCREDIBLY beautiful! The cappuccino was heavenly so I've asked Suzanne to open a branch in Manchester. Make Almondine a definite stop off when you are in Aberdeen!

What a Gem of a place! Fabulous, we stayed in Edinburgh for 4 days and we visited Almondine 3xs just to get a Hot Chocolate Fix!!! The staff were fabulous very chatty and friendly. The Macarons were delicious 🤤 and the cake was also blooming Lush! Highly recommend loved it here. Thank you x

Visited on a Saturday afternoon. Have been before for just coffee and a cake but this time I brought my friend for afternoon tea. The place was clean but very chilly. Staff were quite disorganized and slow but friendly enough. The sandwiches were pretty tasteless and had some hard edges as kept pre-prepared in a Tupperware box. The pastries were good, scone about average but the sweet selections lacked any real flavour and the little glass with some sort of white cream and compote had no flavour at all in the cream! The macaroon, which I have tried beforefrom here, was a real disappointment as soft and dry. I've definitely had better here so not sure what went wrong. Almost like it had been stored somewhere damp. The toilet area is a real eyesore to be letting people walk through. For £28 each for a few sandwiches, one pot of tea and some tasteless sweet items in a cold setting we were very unimpressed.

Went in a few weeks ago, the food was absolutely phenomenal! We had a quiche each, my wife had a hot chocolate which was incredible, and I a latte. We then went on to have some macarons (the peanut one was amazing), and shared the raspberry pecan brownie - divine! The girl serving us mentioned she was new but I never would have guessed as she was so confident! The man who was also on shift, was extremely polite and welcoming to us but seemed to always be on his phone when the young girl was busy which me and my wife did not think was very fair. We also didn't have time to get a box to take away with us so will be in for that also!

We went to the Inverurie branch of this coffee shop for afternoon tea on a chilly October day. Afternoon conjures up images of comfortable chairs, warm surroundings and delightful things to share. The coffee shop is bright clean and slightly on the chilly side. The afternoon tea booking came with so many conditions that if I had been booking it I wouldn't have. No changes no substitutes etc etc The food itself was very good, nicely presented and precise. No added extra bits- everything was one per person and no more. This shop is apparently known for its macaroons but we all had the same one - that seems a missed sales opportunity to me. If you don't happen to like banana and white chocolate- tough. The girl serving did her job but wasn't particularly friendly and didn't really make it clear about how much tea and coffee we could have - we did get offered a refill quite late in the meal. There was a steady stream of people coming in for coffee and a fancy cake - they had the right idea. Next time I would do that. At £27 per head what we got felt a tad expensive.

Had an excellent afternoon tea here, everything was so fresh and extremely tasty, lovely staff and wonderful atmosphere. Will definately be back. Thoroughly recommend Almondine.

Being new to the area, I keep a look out for places I’d like to visit and Almondine was one of those. What an absolute gem of a place, lovely people and the patisserie is just incredible. We chose an item each and then decided we had to try the macarons too….so delicious. Definitely will not be our last visit….will most certainly be on our list for somewhere to take our visitors

I was there with a friend today and had a cream tea. I had scones and jam but to my disappointment they only had strawberry jam I am allergic to strawberries so no choice of jam but they charged me the same

Stopped by for a cup of tea and a cake on our travels. Normally we only takeaway from here and the cakes are always to die for so this time we thought we would sit in. The cafe is very small but cute with plenty of space for a few tables. Lovely bright decoration. Beautiful selection of macarons and other patisserie items such as eclairs and tarts. Good selection of hot drinks. Served by a very pleasant French man who was very attentive and polite. Had an English breakfast tea which came in a stunning silver teapot with matching milk jug and served in a porcelain cup which makes all the difference! My friend had a flower tea which game in a large wine glass and the flower opened as the hot water hit in and the infusion began. a stunning white chocolate peanut butter caramelised tart, was to die for. The price for all 3 things was £10.50 which for the quality i would say it was very reasonable. Highly recommend this place and can’t wait to return for an afternoon tea!

A very special birthday treat with friends. Food, coffee, service and atmosphere were first class! Highly recommend!

Pre booked afternoon tea for my friend and I. Beautiful, intimate, bright & welcoming with the best selection of savouries & patisseries we’ve ever seen in an afternoon tea selection. The staff are welcoming & very informative, the best afternoon tea we’ve ever had, and we’ve had a few 😉. Highly recommend to anyone. Would be an ideal venue for intimate hen party or baby shower ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Prebooked for afternoon tea as part of birthday gift for my wife. Small intimate venue which is essentially a patisserie shop with a small number of tables. Spotlessly clean throughout… afternoon tea was probably the best we have had! The staff who served us were so welcoming . All in all an excellent visit and we will be back! Highly recommended!

First time I’ve visited, and can’t believe what I’ve been missing. It’s simply a treat in every sense of the word. A treat for the eyes, taste and all the senses. The French quality in the coffee, cakes, and croissants has to be experienced. Again and again!

Decide to pop into the inverurie shop to try a macaroon for the first time. Not knowing what to expect they were so tasty. Also bought a couple of petit gateauxs which were delicious as well

A little gem of tranquility and quality in the heart of town. The place was bright and clean and the food excellent, a real treat, and the staff helpful and friendly. This could become a regular go to destination.

I discovered this place during my visit to Aberdeen. The hotel I stayed was on the same street so couldn't have missed it. Unfortunately, I could not sit in because I was on a tight schedule, however I bought a few cakes and macarons to try them. I must say they were exquisite both in taste and in presentation. It is always busy, when I stopped to buy them, it was full with customers having afternoon tea Highly recommended, just make sure to book in advance

I’ve previously had afternoon tea in the shop in Aberdeen and yesterday was the turn of the new Inverurie shop. As expected, the food was delicious. A nice selection of sandwiches, followed by really delicious scones with clotted cream and jam and then onto the...

My Mum and I normally go to Edinburgh for a Christmas shopping day, but no train deals lead us to Aberdeen. Booked an afternoon tea online, thinking it would be a nice start to our day. Mum was impressed by the little cutlery! We both...

Went in at 4.30 pm with my child as a special treat. It shut at 5pm. Was told they weren’t taking any walk ins by rude lady on counter. She barely looked up from her lap top. We stood there silently as she finished typing,...

Afternoon tea for myself, my Mum and my 2 Grandmas. It was absolutely beautifully presented and tasted divine. Cannot fault it! Best afternoon tea I have had, it’s obvious that everything is super fresh and made from scratch. Amazing ⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️

Was really disappointed with the afternoon tea. Ordered for myself and step daughter. It just didn’t feel worth £42. The sandwiches were barely filled and there was an overall lack of content apart from a couple of fancy looking cakes.

We decided to have a lockdown treat so decided on Afternoon Tea for Two. We’ve had this twice before and wasn’t disappointed this time. The sandwiches were delicious, soft and well filled. The scones light as air and a different selection of sweet treats, every...

Wow absolutely gorgeous coffee and cakes well worth a visit if you’re in the area . You won’t be disappointed the cakes are so delicious also do takeaway and cakes to order . Fabulous place x

What a treat to see places open again after such a long Covid shutdown. We chose here for our first coffee out in five months and were delighted with the charm of the place and the brilliant staff. We felt very safe and comfortable, staff...

Afternoon Tea delivery, what talented bakers Almondine are. The cakes were delicious, we also purchased Macarons too. The summer afternoon Tea features lots of pretty cakes, the scones were divine too with clotted cream & Jam. So lucky having a fabulous Patisserie of this quality...

Almondine’s home delivery of afternoon tea was the highlight of my very special birthday during lockdown. Beautifully made and presented and so delicious. It was the finishing touch. Thank you 😊

Excellent afternoon tea delivered to our home on Wednesday 15th April 2020. Beautifully packaged, varied selection and tasted absolutely delicious. This is one treat during lockdown that we will definitely be repeating. Thank you Almondine.

I visited for the first time with friends and had a croissant with morning coffee. I was so impressed I went back twice, once for an afternoon cream tea and once for a cake with tea. The cream tea provides one fruit and one plan...

We enjoyed a very tasty afternoon here with a variety of delicious fresh sandwiches, scones with cream and jam and the wonderful finale of 4 delicious cakes. The portion sizes were perfect. My scone was a little hard and dry but everything else was excellent.

I purchased a number of macaroons & desert cakes to take away and I have to say they were exceptional! The variety of flavours were excellent and I’m looking forward to going for afternoon tea! I purchased one of the Macaroon gifts online, a silver...

Ive been here half a dozen times now for a latte and a bit of r'n'r. It's just a very comfy, cosy, friendly place to grab a coffee and half an hours peace. The staff have been very polite and friendly, also very attentive. Why...

We went for afternoon tea, and everything about it was just right. Staff were friendly and attentive without being overly so. Well worth a visit

Visit to Almondine with friends was amazing. Food was lovely & so well presented. Staff were very friendly & efficient. Restaurant was very busy that says it all. Cant wait to go back.

Had a morning meeting at this little shop and enjoyed coffee, tea and juice while doing some business. Left with a dozen of their very yummy macarons and enjoyed every flavor I tried. Very unique flavor pairings. The pink peppercorn was a favorite, for sure!

What a delightful tea room Very vintage the cakes are delicious. Can’t wait to go back with more friends

Went here with my daughter , staff friendly and prompt service but by the time we had finished our afternoon tea we were both all sugared out , lovely cakes but with two small deserts aswell we found it just a bit too much !...

This was our first visit to Almondine as part of our small group tours, but it will not be the last! We had our own private dining room which was elegantly set up for our afternoon tea. The service was impeccable and when the tea...

Afternoon tea for two was given to me as a birthday gift. It was absolutely beautiful and faultless but a little on the pricey side for Aberdeen.

Fabulous find on Thistle Street where you are served the most delicious Afternoon Tea (with or without a glass of fizz) on beautiful china by extremely friendly staff. Everything about this afternoon tea was faultless. I'd happily recommend and I would more than happily return.

visited Almondine on numerous occasions . Lovely macaron in beautiful flavours . Lovely coffee served in beautiful china . Afternoon tea is a feast for the senses . A must visit.

The staff were lovely and the presentation of the food was excellent, but unfortunately we had a group of 12 year old children and none of them liked the food in the afternoon tea. At £24 a head this was an expensive mistake! I would...

Celebrating my birthday with extended family. Son and daughter with partners and babies plus daughter-in-law 's susyer and baby! Staff coped wonderfully with 2 high chairs and plenty of space for us. The food was of course all fabulous... Tea, coffee, water, milk as required....

Beautiful interior, friendly staff and amazing food. The best hot chocolate I ever had. Worth the detour.

We had our daughters birthday tea with a couple of her friends and they loved it. The food was beautiful and the staff are soo lovely too. Highly recommend.

We went here at Monday around 1pm - the best time possible as it was very quiet - we booked earlier for afternoon tea. We got our selection after 10 minutes waiting time - IT WAS AMAZING. Every single peace was looking like a peace...

Order flat white coffee but get a giant mug instead of milky white coffee. I won't go there for flat white again..

Feel utterly spoiled after delightful afternoon tea in this lovely gem of a patisserie. Delicious teeny sandwiches followed by yummy melt in the mouth desserts(rhubarb compote my fave) we had to ask very helpful waitress for a take out box as 4 pieces defeated us!...

Super afternoon tea great service great did and a particularly fine Pinot Grigio. Very pleasant surroundings and atmosphere.

We went in for coffee, but were so taken by the place that we ordered a bottle of excellent sparkling wine, a lovely croissant with ham and Brie, and one of their exquisite macaroons. Service was delightful. Decor is elegant, and very french. If we...

Beautiful afternoon tea. Everything made & served to perfection. Cant wait to go back. Fingers crossed my friends can join me on my next visit. Décor is lovely all well thought out.

Beautiful patisserie in elegant surroundings. A perfect venue for a luxurious treat with your girlfriend's.

Very nice tea shop with china tea pots and cups. Delicious macaroons and other cakes. Excellent service and good ambiance.

Excellent and friendly service with tasty tea and very fancy cakes. None traditional fancy nibbles not to everyone's taste. Definitely a special occasion location and very expensive.

In this place we can sit quietly, talk, drink tea and enjoy the sweetest food. Every person who live in Aberdeen or visiting this city that loves sweetness, afternoon tea or other delicacies should visit this place.The interior itself is very cosy. I am sure...

I have just recently moved to the area and was just walking past and noticed the window was very inviting , upon entering I was welcomed by a lovely member of staff I didn’t get her name but she was so helpful and took her...

I’m a big fan of afternoon tea and as result, I’ve had afternoon tea in the majority of hotels and cafes which serve it in Aberdeen city centre. Today, my friends and I sampled afternoon tea for the first time at Almondine which was truly...

In Aberdeen for the weekend and wandered into this compact little cafe and enjoyed a lovely cup of tea and croissant served beatifully. Top notch music playlist and a lovely set up for females to enjoy fizz and food in the afternoon....very nice.

Really really nice afternoon tea, one of the best i've had in Aberdeen!!! The cafe is lovely, the crockery sweet. The food is superb and the bread on the sandwiches very fresh. The service is excellent, right amount of attentiveness. Jenniefer is lovely, very accommodating...

A very pretty Parisian styled cafe with lovely attentive staff but the main attraction of course is the wonderful food. A choice of teas, coffees or juices and then a set selection of delicious finger sandwiches. The patisserie was undoubtedly the most impressive selection I...

We went to almondine as a get together for a birthday afternoon tea. With it being a Tuesday it was quiet, but we felt that was to our benefit as we had a room to ourselves and we were a bigger party. The decor is...

Very nice french macarons, nice place and lovely staff.and i really love it! i will be back soon..........

I think it's a great that a place like this exists in Aberdeen, the macarons and patisseries are certainly the star attraction, though the afternoon tea experience was, I thought, a bit half-hearted considering the price (£30 per person including a glass of bubbles). I...

Having visited almondine before for afternoon tea I thought I would treat my mum to the experience whilst she was visiting. Unfortunately we were both left very disappointed and I would not return for afternoon tea again. To start with the room was freezing and...

I don't want make a big deal of this, because I'm aware the place has almond in the title. Went there with someone else who had macaroons. They were totally out of any cake without nuts. I'm intolerant so that was a shame. Still, the...

Fabulous place to visit . The afternoon tea was spectacular as was the service. Small and cozy with just enough tables and staff .

A wonderful experience, by far the best afternoon tea I ve had in the area. It looked and tasted stunning . The decor is tasteful and the staff very pleasant. Plan to go for lunch next

Visited on Saturday with two friends for afternoon tea, the best I've ever had. A bit more expensive than average but pure class.

You know when you visit Almondine, it will be good. A few days after the festivities were over, and this place was full on a rainy afternoon. Those who had booked ahead were treated to beautiful afternoon teas. Elegant glasses of pink fizz accompanied many...

Went along to Almondine with my daughter for afternoon tea. It was amazing!!! Second visit here. The sweet treats are beautiful and the service was fantastic. We ordered a bottle of pink fizz which just finished our afternoon tea off perfectly. Such a lovely cosy...

Located in Thistle Street this lovely cafe is run by two girls, one of whom trained as a Cordon Bleu cook in France and it shows. We only went for coffee and hot chocolate but we were impressed. The hot chocolate was mouth watering and...

Visited with a group of friends for afternoon tea and had a wonderful time. We were very attentively looked after and the food was fantastic - loved the sandwiches whilst the macarons and the pistachio eclair were to die for. Thank you!

I love this place the macaroons are my favourite however I must say that I find them a little over priced but saying that they are delicious so I don’t mind paying the price.

My daughter treated me to an afternoon tea here after a full on day of Christmas shopping! The interior is elegant but cosy. All the staff were very welcoming. I have had a few afternoon teas over the years and this was one of the...

Been hearing about Almondine from our daughter for ages and at last managed to visit...not disappointed! An oasis of civilised calm and quality. Spotlessly clean. Excellent service. Cakes to die for!! Aberdeen is SO lucky to have such a civilised business where we could chat...

Attended with a group of 4, and we called in the morning to determine if yhere was any space to book for afternoon tea and were told no. When we arrived, there was a 2 seater sofa and when asked if there were any tables...

We keep coming back here for there excellent macaroons and the best hot chocolate in town ! Also do try there coffee with chocolate sprinkled over the top. The service is excellent and all the staff is very attentive .

Four of us enjoyed coffee and cake in the early afternoon. Macaroons are especially delicious but all of the cakes were lovely. Coffee was also very good and service friendly and efficient. Reasonably priced for this level of quality.

I had been given a gift box of Almondine's delicious macarons and was keen to visit for myself. In the end I visited twice during my short trip to Aberdeen. Lunch was a slice of tasty quiche with a well-dressed green salad and a pot...

I walked in having never had macaroons before, and I have a nut allergy so that was silly. The lovely Suzanne was very helpful and helped me choose some macarons for my family (they're delicious- so I'm told - and incredibly well presented. The take...

This coffee spot started as somewhere serving mainly macarons but has now doubled in size and serves iterms such as salads and filled croissants. Wine also available. Staff very pleasant.

Went here for a macaroon and honestly they are so amazing we have been twice now. When here we asked about there afternoon tea and was shocked to find it was £22 a person. That to me is a mental pricing For macaroons. It's the...

Delightful restaurant in the heart of Aberdeen. Two sisters opened this restaurant and they were on a BBC baking show where they did really well. The design is soothing and beautiful and the food is fantastic. My husband and I loved our quiche, my daughter...
