Beachside Coffee Shop in Aberdeenshire

Love this café for lunch or coffee. Soups are all home made and delicious, as are the scones and cakes. Staff are always polite, pleasant and accommodating with nothing being to much trouble for them. Would recommend to everyone. Kitchen closes usually at 2.30pm but coffees are sold after this, with scones and cakes.

Love this cafe, it has a good selection of cakes and home made scones. It also does a range of food that is always good value and tasty too. I love a bacon and egg roll washed down with a nice flat white, not good for my waistline but very good for my spirit 😃. Outside is a little play park and seating area and it's very popular in the summer with the wee ones. My grandson loves his ice cream from the shop with a blue sauce topping. It's a great wee friendly place so try it as I'm sure you will be very pleased you did

Popped in after a trip to the beach. The kitchen closed at 230pm but they still accepted our order at 220pm. Lovely paninis and scones and great latte. Not expensive either. Friendly staff and would definitely recommend

This is a large modern, coffee shop within Balmedie Leisure Centre. It was clean and bright with colourful plastic chairs and an outdoor seating area with children's play area. It was busy and lively when I popped in with a friend for lunch. We both had the baked potatoes which were nice. Staff were polite and helpful. The homes bakes looked nice but the piece of Victoria sponge I had was rather dry and disappointing. However this is a nice coffee shop and I would return if in Balmedie.

It's good that Balmedie has a coffee shop. But ignore the brown tourist road signs. Unfortunately it's wrongly named - this is not on the beachside at all. The coffee shop is around a mile from the beachside, in Balmedie village, not easy to find. It's nearer the main road. We drove there to explore the beach, worth a visit, and the windswept dunes are interesting. Some of them are quite high and give views back to the village or out towards the sea. It's also not far from Trump's famed golf course. But the sausage bap bought before the kitchen closed had two tiny chipolata style sausages in a dry roll - certainly overpriced. No butter? The coffee was excellent, which made up for it a bit - until visiting the toilet (cubicle only) and discovering the remains of someone else's lunch had been deposited there in all its sausage-shaped glory. I know this is not the fault of the Beachside's owner - and they're not responsible for the misleading brown road signs either, but it did spoil the visit. I think it closes at 3 pm so make sure you get there before that. Avoid the sausages. Maybe try a scone?

Lovely coffee shop, provides homemade soup and sandwich options at a lunchtime, with a great selection of homebakes. Staff very friendly.

Staying with family in Aberdeen and visited this cafe on two occasions. Both times the scones and coffee were first class. Everything baked on the premises. The staff are all lovely, very friendly and helpful. Our grandchildren love the ice cream selection and it was so nice to see their photos as being the first children on their new playground. A really nice clean cafe with good food.

Lovely bright coffee shop which also has an outdoor seating area. Fine coffee and fresh baked scones and cakes served by friendly staff. Recommend a visit for anyone visiting Balmedie

Lovely cafe serving hot/cold food, drinks etc. Nice friendly staff and good arrangements in place for COVID measures. Worth a visit.

Booked an afternoon tea, since it was a lovely day decided to ask for a takeaway order which staff happily organised for us. The cafe was bright and staff were friendly and very helpful. There’s an outdoor seating where dogs are allowed. The food was lovely and fresh and the portions were generous. Also just a 2 minute drive to the beach where you can walk off all the lovely food.

Had a lovely visit recently on our visit to Balmedie. We both had Panini’s with coffee & tea. Staff were very helpful & friendly

Love this place, the homemade soup is always lovely, staff are brill and it is very very reasonable! Love it!

Whilst visiting the area we spotted this cafe and decided to give it a go, as there didn't seem to be any other cafe in the area. It turned out to be a great choice. The food here is really good, there are plenty of table and chairs and some nice couches to relax on. The cafe is built onto the leisure centre and has toilets available with plenty of free parking outside. The servers were polite, prompt and well presented.

Great to com here after a dog walk at the beach Their home bakes are amazing too as well as their soups and sandwiches

We had a very nice Afternoon Tea for two and everything was lovely. Scones were super fresh and endless tea was welcome.

Had a sandwich and a tea. Sandwich was ok. But the brown bruised lettuce looked like yesterday’s, was expensive compared to the better sandwich and salad I had for a couple of pounds less earlier in week... Place was quite busy but several tables were...

Good destination for a soup and panini or a tray bake and coffee. Centre of balmedie with a easy commute to balmedie beach

Plenty of food, tho more sweet than savoury. Would’ve preferred more sandwiches. All very tasty and fresh Cafe menu varied and reasonably priced

Popular with families, this bright colourful cafe offers drinks, snacks and cakes. We called in at Sunday lunch time after a walk on the beach and had soup, baked potato and a toastie. Parking in the Leisure Centre carpark.

The Beachside Coffee shop is a large, modern cafe situated within the leisure centre. They serve a good range of breakfasts, hot snacks cakes etc. We had coffee, tea and rather good scones. Service was casual and very friendly.

Seems to be the only tearoom in Balmedie so sadly they have a monopoly. Stopped here for a late breakfast after an early morning walk on the beach. Sadly the staff seemed to be more bothered about dancing and having a singsong in the kitchen...

Attached to Balmedie Leisure Centre. Plain decor, a bit utilitarian but friendly welcoming staff and quick service, I had an Aberdeen Angus burger with cheese and onion plus salad and wedges. Everything was well cooked and tasty. The only drawback was the noise, not from...
