Cafe Ahoy in Aberdeen City

Found this place by mistake. Went back for breakfast and it was brilliant. Really friendly staff and the food was great. Heartily recommend Cafe Ahoy for the whole family and their dogs. Well done guys, keep up the great work.

Went here for breakfast and it was good- breakfast was exactly what you look for in a traditional breakfast! Service was okay but nothing spectacular. Atmosphere was nice- the place is clean and nicely decorated !

Went in today for breakfast and was not disappointed. Pancakes and the bravacodo. Will be back next time we are in Aberdeen

Excellent food and service, our server Craig was very polite and chatty. Will definitely recommend and be back in future.

Food is impeccable, such good value for money. We spent the weekend here in Aberdeen and enjoyed our breakfast at Cafe Ahoy both mornings. Staff are lovely and friendly and the service is quick. Don’t miss out on this fabulous place for food and good atmosphere!!!

Delicious breakfast and coffee to start the day before heading to a wedding. Came back the very next day on our way back home. If you’re in Aberdeen and need breakfast brunch or lunch don’t miss on Cafe Ahoy!

Excellent service by Craig today. Very attentive and friendly. Food was lovely and excellent value for money. Shall definitely be returning.

Lovely place with a great service. I went there just once, but I will definitely be back. I ordered avocado toast with poached eggs, and it was delicious!

We had full breakfast, I loved mine, partner less so but more of a taste rather than quality issue. Very nice atmosphere and doggo friendly.

Lovely place very clean, friendly and attentive staff. Breakfast was good. Would recommend and will visit again. It is dog friendly which is a massive bonus. Thank you.

Lovely place for a breakfast, the staff are young but very friendly and good at their jobs

Went here for breakfast as my friend recommended it. Seemed a little expensive £14 for a full Scottish breakfast. Very obvious everything on the plate was cheap produce nothing had any quality about it. Potatoe Scone was like cardboard that had been cooked with a hairdryer and everything else seemed like cheap supermarket produce.

Good food delivered with a smiley face.. pleasant staff, would recommend..

Met here for the 1st time with a friend and was very impressed. Had the full breakfast was was very tasty. It's dog friendly sondef a place I will revisit

Great place for catch up with friends. Serve snacky food, toasties, panini etc.👍

Went here for breakfast after reading the reviews. The menu had some good vegan/veggie options but nothing one wouldn't find elsewhere. I am sure the meat based options are a big draw. The veggie sausage is best avoided in hindsight. Good decor and very friendly staff. Parking available.

Food was overpriced and disappointing. Leek and potato soup was nothing more than tasteless water! Smoked salmon/smashed avocado salad was a bowl full of salad leaves, half a tomato, three small slivers of salmon and approximately a quarter of an avocado overpriced at almost £10!

Handy to have a car park, although ULEZ will massively affect my journey there so less likely to go, which is a shame. Good food & coffee. Read reviews on here & decided to try out. Did find prices a bit higher than expected but it tasted good. Busy place for brunch.

Great coffee and food. Staff bants on point.

Lovely restaurant nearly across the road from our holiday accomodation. Raging we didn't go on the Saturday morning too. Lovely food and the staff were delightful. It is dog friendly which I love BUT not when the dog is a bit on the big side and very barky!!!!

Nice cafe with a good selection of items on the menu. Some parking outside, and also on the street, free at certain times.

The staff were very friendly and the soup was so tasty. Would deff go back.

Came here on Sunday lunchtime. Privaye car park and free customer WiFi - good start. The food was really nice - I had their katsu carrot soup which was good. The staff were excellent, the manageress (blonde witj glasses) was a delight. The price was £11.50 for soup + toasted panini. I would come back again.

I used to love this place, but it's had a big difference. There were dogs, which were nocking down chairs, my food was really good, I have a cheese and ham panini and loved it, one of my parents said the macaroni was just pasta with cheese on top, and she didn't enjoy it. And my other parent said the stovies were watery. So I can't really give more than a 3, but I love the place, it has a good aesthetic to it.

Have come here for lunch a few times, and always had good food with great service from friendly staff. The range of gluten free options makes it very useful when arranging lunches with friends who are gluten intolerant.

Great cafe we have brunch there most Sundays very relaxing, family , & dog friendly. The staff are excellent.

Dog friendly cafe with good coffee/food.

Excellent cafe. Breakfast was very good. Coffee was lovely. Great place.

Visited for brunch with family on Saturday morning, the staff were amazing as numbers increased from 8 to 11 at the last minute and they happily moved tables and chairs to accommodate us. Food was delicious from a very large menu and kids menu is great. They even did a take away for the family dog (it is dog friendly). Would definitely recommend.

Excellent food very quick service we booked a table for 12 no problem, very good waitress kept the food warm for guests who were late. Even better news little furry friends are welcome!! I left with a barking brunch snack for my dog. 1st time visit will definate return, I highly recommend a visit Service how it should be!

Absolutely lovely place with delicious food and friendly staff! Our little puppy even got puppy pancakes here. Love this place!

Amazing seasonal drinks their ginger bread latte is very nice staff were friendly and approachable definitely recommend for the honeycomb latte.

Very nice, dog friendly, and has a small car park.

Only recently found this little gem of a place. Wish I had discovered it earlier. Can’t fault anything to be honest. The food is excellent. Times I’ve been it hasn’t disappointed. Guys out front are always welcoming and smiling. Tend to your every need.

We had a lovely late lunch and enjoyed every part of the meal. Smoothie was delicious, my avocado sandwich amazing, my partner really liked the full Scottish breakfast and our dog had chicken pancakes which also looked pretty good! Portions are big and it’s good value for money. The cafe is dogs friendly and have nice freshly prepared dishes for dogs (even those with allergies find something good). Nice atmosphere and lovely staff! Will be back soon.

Paid £50 to not get what was requested/paid extra for or any substitutes. Two tiny pancakes is also a joke. Not worth the money. In reply to the comment it was through delivery, no one wrote a note or anything to say if you were maybe out of something. Missing hash browns and black pudding. A traybake was not given. Only the things I ordered and paid for wouldn’t have said anything if there was something to compensate for it!

Happy smiley faces here with swift service and good quality food at a reasonable price.

Good Breakfast, good size of portions. Cappuccino was very good. Nice and quick service.

Visiting home from Dallas TX had a hard time choosing from specials went for the Stovies absolutely fantastic 😋

Food is lovely and my dog loves to visit

We love this place - staff so friendly/helpful and the food really fresh. Orders arrive quickly without any rush or panic

Best place in Aberdeen for brunch, would highly recommend. Lovely cafe, the food is exceptional and the staff is wonderful. The minute you walk in you’re greeted with amazing service, massive bonus that it’s dog friendly as well. I go here regularly with my dogs and they love it just as much as I do! You’re missing out big time if you don’t give this place a visit, my favourite place for some great coffee and an awesome brunch.

Went today with my kids as they always remember it's been good whenever we've been before. Their pancakes were up there with the best they've had and the brunch stacks are ace. Waitress was greet, very nice, friendly and was happy to help with everything. Love this place.

Can't fault it really food was great and the staff excellent, recommended.

Staff are wonderful. Food tasty and good value for money. Very friendly.

First time trying cafe ahoy, excellent service and quality of breakfast. Driven past must be hundreds of times wished we'd stopped earlier. Will definitely be back for breakfast and look forward to trying lunch. 5 stars all the way.

Nice place for breakfast / brunch / lunch. Had a few breakfasts here but today was lunch. Haggis and mozzarella panini was really nice with a small salad and crisps. Partner had a panini off the specials board and the grandson had a ham and cheese sandwich which he completely finished and that doesn't happen often. I like their coffee which arrives well before the food as its freshly prepared. Small outdoor area if it's a nice day and dog friendly inside and out.

Lovely dog friendly cafe lovely fresh food and great coffee very friendly staff great service outdoor seating available as well worth a visit

Popped today to get in from the rain. Lovely facilities and staff, bone China cups were a game changer will definitely be back next time in Aberdeen

Rent å pent. Hyggelig betjening og god service. Anbefales

Amazing breakfast! We love the pancake and brunch stacks stacks.

Excellent dog friendly cafe with a great brunch menu. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating, welcoming for families too.

Lovely place to go with our dog. She loves the doggy pancakes.

Great little Cafe on the Boulevard. Food good too.

I recently visited cafe ahoy and was greeted with nothing but smiles and warm hearts. I cannot begin to express how magnificent the food and atmosphere were, although the real star of the show was the service. All staff were lovely but one girl in particular was a standout, thank you to the oh so charming ginger girl who made our day at the cafe ahoy. 10/10 would recommend !!!

Had lunch here today. The waitress was friendly and efficient. I asked for something different to what was quoted on the menu and it was no trouble at all. Will definitely recommend to friends and will be back soon.

Googled somewhere dog friendly while we were in Aberdeen and very pleased with our visit! Food and staff were lovely, and the cafe itself is very cute!

Delicious, great service. Children’s breakfast especially good value

Great food, very different dog friendly and excellent parking. What's not to like.

What a LOVELY place! Sunday morning brunch with Hannah waiting on me. Tea was tasty with milk & sugar. The bravacodo was so tasty. Avacado with hint of lemon with 2 poached eggs and 2 hash browns. Very filling and delicious. When sister and her DH arrived they had carrot & coriander soup, also delicious and we split a slice of carrot cake. Loaded with frosting, it was heavenly! Lastly, I had a hot mocha which topped off the meal perfectly!

Was the first time we had ever visited café Ahoy and initially, we were pleasantly surprised at the attentiveness of the staff. They were great and couldn't really fault them. However, when it came to the food, the quality and standard was well below what I was expecting for a place which charged £16 for a full cooked breakfast. Some of the ingredients were alright such as the eggs, black pudding and pancakes but it was very noticeable about the quality of the sausages which reminded me of the Tesco value frozen sausages (the pack of 20 you can get for £1.50). the beans were tasteless, the haggis had an extremely odd taste to it and the potato scones (tattie scone) was so hard and dry that it hurt my teeth trying to bite into it (texture was as if it had been re-heated after being cooked hours prior and was hard). Not a place I would recommend based on the food or plan on ever going back unfortunately. Disappointed as had high hopes for this place.

Absolutely brilliant, great big portion and the quality was outstanding, Ultimate Scottish breakfast was top notch!

Very friendly welcoming staff, popped in for a breakfast, food was excellent as was the service. Very relaxed laid back atmosphere. We will definitely be back

Went for a Full Scottish breakfast for lunch and did not disappoint! Friendly staff and good food!

Visted here with my dog, the young man serving was very attentive and the food was lovely. I will definitely be back.

Looked on the internet for a dog friendly cafe to go for some food while in Aberdeen and this place popped up. What a lovely find it was. The man serving was polite and attentive. The food I ordered was lovely. I will most definitely return. Handy it allowed dogs in also. Highly recommend

Vegetable sausages were lovely. If you visit here you must try the Scotch Bonnet ketchup it is amazing, not as hot as you would think. Well worth a visit, lovely place

Great little café with loveliest staff, great tasty food and nice inside and outside seating choices

Heaven on earth, perfect through out.

Outstanding as always! Our go to for daytime dining. Staff are lovely and food is amazing! Recently renovated and the outside space is such a cute addition. Very chilled and welcome atmosphere.

Went today for lunch and had an amazing panini, the staff were great and the ginger girl was lovely and so helpful. Would definitely come again. 5/5 stars

We visited Cafe Ahoy for breakfast during a short visit in Aberdeen. While the menu is not overly large there is a good variety of choices. The food was tasty, the coffee was rich and strong, and the service was friendly and efficient. Prices are reasonable too. I liked the bright airiness and decor of the space. We would go there again.

I took my girls out for their birthday and we had a fantastic time. I would recommend for anyone looking for a tasty breakfast and a wonderful atmosphere.

Lovely place, friendly & great food!

Nice dog friendly café, great friendly. Lucky find while exploring Aberdeen

We visit cafe ahoy on a regular basis it's the best place to eat down the beach. I love the varied selection of specials available and both my kids and I would attest to them having the best pancakes. I'd also recommend the bravacado and the sharing boards are perfect!

Great breakfast spot, looking forward to getting back outside once the weather turns warmer!

Delicious food and great service. Had visited for breakfast multiple times and never been disappointed.

, Great tasty food, great service. Lovely small cafe, not open every day of the week so check before you go.

Staff are great. Attentive and friendly. Really good food too. The breakfast AHOY is our go to. Would recommend. Kids would as well. Parkings good too.

One of the first places I went out to for food when I moved to the city. I always enjoy the breakfast options and the staff are really friendly and hard working. The cafe is dog friendly and has outdoor seating for when the weather is better. A great visit near the beach and main city centre but never too busy.

Friendly and professional, great location for a work meeting or workshop. And yummy sandwiches!

I always pass this place & I finally got to go there today for a spot of lunch with my friend. The place was really busy & the young man that served us was really friendly & efficient. He was rushed off his feet but he had everything under control. Big selection of food to choose from. We decided on a pot of tea, white coffee, freshly baked cheese scone a piece of homemade apple cake & a bowl of freshly fried chips. My friend thoroughly enjoyed her scone. The apple cake was so amazingly yummy I could've ate another one, chips were so crispy & hot. Will definitely come again. Thank you 😊

A bit expensive for breakfast I thought, saying that all eateries have risen their prices.

Friendly service, and delicious food - I would recommend the veggie breakfast, especially the sausages.

Excellent food, staff and service. Dog friendly (they have their own little menu too). Worth coming up the hill from the beach for a great, calm vibe.

Always enjoy our time here ,good food and dogs are welcome, will be back ,and of course we help a charity

Loved the food, haggis had strong flavour, the bacon was a little tough but the food was good and staff were friendly. Dog friendly too.

Easy to park, with a selection of menu choices. Polite staff, lovely outside area. Dog friendly

The best pancakes in Aberdeenshire! Service was quick, food was quick, perfect coffee and the best pancakes we ever had! So Fluffy and tasty. Will be definitely back

I had a very filling hearty meal and a lovely coffee while meeting with friends. Very friendly staff.

Nice cafe, especially for breakfast.. It was clean and the staff friendly. I had the veggie breakfast which was nice. Pleasant atmosphere and parking available outside.

Came by one morning for breakfast and coffee. Full breakfast was very nice, not over cooked or too oily. Our server was a lovely young lad, very attentive and quick. Latte was very pleasant. We sat outside as inside was small and quite busy, making it extremely warm. We would definitely recommend to try out.

Terrible breakfast! Everything was luke warm except from the hash brown. God knows where the potato scone was from, like cardboard. The haggis tasted sour also. Told staff and was still charged for it! Wont be going back.

Fantastic. I was staying close by with friends for a wedding in an Airbnb. Sure we could have catered for ourselves but why bother when there is such a great cafe nearby. I had the full Scottish breakfast one morning and the bacon and maple syrup pancakes stack the next. Both highly recommended. As is the veggie breakfast had by one friend.

Pros: Very nice ambience and seating outside Great to sit outside when the sun is out Good food and great staff Parking for about 8 cars at a time and there are disabled parking. Toilets within site. Cons: none really !

The breakfast was yummy and the sausages to my fussy friends liking. I also had a fruit smoothie which was totally tropical. Will be going back.

Great brunch here with lots of space and outside seating. Would recommend the bravacado and the hard shakes if you are looking for something alcoholic! Friendly staff and dog friendly with parking!

Fresh pannini and salad good service and very clean 👌

Nice cafe, outdoor seating area is nice, good food, and good prices. Personal recommendation for breakfast: It's a Scramble.
