Dee-Licious in Aberdeenshire

Great food and good coffee! My husband had the big breakfast which was great value at $24. The rest of us had the corn fritter with bacon, pancakes and eggs Benedict. No complaints.

I was here on Saturday the 18th of February, I was in with a friend and had nothing but the most pleasant experience. The young woman that was on, was working by herself and she was so professional, polite and friendly to every single person that came in. She was helpful and got everyone served in a timely fashion even though the establishment was very very busy! Definitely an asset to the business. Homemade cheese scones WERE Homemade scones. Proper cheesy and proper good, bacon rolls out of this world too. Divine coffee, will be back for sure!! 10/10

My husband had the soup and scone (what a size the scone was) £6 bargain I had the lemon drizzle cake, it was delicious So scone was ginormous, light and amazing , soup was tasty and lemon drizzle cake to die for. My husband had a black coffee, I had a pot of tea, it was really tasty, plenty of milk for more than two cups.. Keep it up girls, I will certainly be back.

8 cyclists went on Saturday. The cafe was small and not really ideal for groups. Service was a little slow but the food (bacon, scrambled eggs and toast) plus coffee was really nice. Huge portion and decent price

Banchory has several coffee shops and Dee-licious does nothing special to distinguish itself from the others. It's perfectly acceptable for coffee & cake but could be so much more.

Lovely wee place. Great range of specialist teas. Great for an informal lunch and has a nice selection of cakes and sweet treats too. It can be quite busy but being a small place it doesn’t get too noisy. Nicely presented food.

We needed lunch after walking along the Deeside walk. We were able to get exactly what we needed here. Soup and a sandwich was ideal at a reasonable price. This is not the type of place for an evening meal but great for daytime refueling.

Popped in for a light snack at lunch time , but did not expect to have such a memorable experience. The menu was varied and could be mixed to have a Meal package, I decided on a Sandwich and Soup Deal and my Wife ordered a Tea and Scone. The staff were extremely attentive and knowledgeble. When the meal order arrived the server asked who was having the soup and the sandwich ? She looked surprised when i said i ordered it as a meal, her surprise became clear when i saw the portion sizes , either would have been enough for me at the time , so i took home half the sandwich for later. My wifes Tea and scone were both plentiful , which was also surprising , as in previous visits to other places , the Tea was just about a cup full and the scone was usually on the small size , on this occassion both were plentiful ! The quality of the food was excellent and the sandwich was only made after the server took my order , ensuring that I had the sandwich made to my exact preferences. Overall a really good visit , Great Staff , the Menu was variable and affordable. We will definetly visit again when next in Banchory.

I was passing through Banchory recently for a wedding and stopped off to meet friends last week ... In a strange town where you have to take pot luck on eating I plumped for here ...and glad I did... Having read a report previously below this no doubt saying over priced and burnt I would have to say - No way ! The ladies who served me here three times in total in my stay were polite and friendly and the food excellent. It was in fact SO much better than the breakfast at the local hotel TaNaCoille I avoided breakfast there and went here. I thought it was sensible prices and good portion sizes and a nice friendly ambiance. I would highly recommend it as an eatery especially for breakfast. And that Lemon Drizzle cake was superb for the drive home - ideal accompaniment to my coffee.

Came here for lunch on a saturday lunchtime. The 1st telling sign was that it was the only coffee shop in the area that had space for us-we should have taken that as a sign not to bother. The older blonde woman behind the counter came across as rude and rather detached from serving anyone. When we asked if the bacon rolls were still available as it was now after 1pm and they were on the breakfast menu we were given a snarky yes and an eye roll. The same response was given when asked if bacon could be added to the brie panini. The young waitress looked miserable and didn't speak when serving our food. The bacon roll was cremated, it was sent back. No apology just a sigh and another eye roll. The other 3 plates had salad on them which was limp and brown. They then had the cheek to try and charge almost £25 more on our bill. They have a sign saying all the cakes are made with love...definitely wouldn't be served with happiness. Wont return here again.

Popped in for a cuppa and a roll, with friends. The service was efficient and done with a smile. Food & drinks were hot & tasty. Well worth a visit.

Service quick, friendly staff, good chicken noodle soup for one and chicken mayo sandwich came with salad garnish and crisps. Ideal for a quick stop off when passing through. Clean toilet too 🚽😀

Fab wee place, very cosy and welcoming. Tasty paninis, and great range of teas! Staff good, and food cooked fresh to order and always lovely.

The food is very nice, so are the staff. The have a range of cakes and things to eat alongside drinks. There is a toilet in the corner of the small cafe. Prices are cheaper than costa or Starbucks. It’s also in a reasonable place.

Visited most days we are in Banchory to enjoy you great soups and muffins. Thank you ,recommended stop for lunch if you are travelling.Lovely staff

A basic coffee house. Nothing fancy but clean and friendly. Nice choice of basics. The staff are friendly with papers and magazines complimentary.

We have visited a number of times over the years and always found it innovative with foods for normal, gluten free, dairy free and vegetarian friends etc

I popped into most the coffee shops in area and this was up to the high standard of cafes here; a good cup of coffee with friendly service.

Popped into this café whilst up visiting family. Had a cappuccino and delicious date and walnut scone, which was served warm. Very very nice!!. The staff were friendly and service good. Bit expensive but its a small business so understandable. Will definitely return next time we are up in Banchory.

Great local coffee, tasty home baked scones. A good variety of scones. Service great, staff friendly.

Have spent many occasions sitting at the window reading the paper or looking on to the high street of this delightful coffee and cake shop ( which also serves light lunches etc).

He estado en este café un número de veces durante las vacaciones en Aberdeenshire en los últimos tres años. Gran variedad de tortas, realmente recomiendo los bollos recién hechos. He probado la sopa y sándwiches, Paninis todo bien. Personal muy amable y servicial. Si buscas un buen café hecha y este es el lugar para usted! ! Muy recomendable, volveremos más adelante este verano.

Vine aquí hoy después de subir una colina scolty. Yo tenía un pesto realmente encantadora, pimientos y mozzarella Panini que venía con ensalada y patatas fritas. El Panini estaba realmente delicioso, y me pareció que la ensalada de patatas fritas acompañan y era muy agradable, ya que no me esperaba el Panini de venir con nada. Sin duda recomendaría este lugar a cualquier caminantes hambrientos.

Fuimos un pequeño bocado con un amigo. Ambos tuvimos Panini y una bebida. Era un poco caro ya que era de más de 9 libras, pero la comida era buena y el personal era muy amable y educado. Volvería si yo estaba en la zona de nuevo.

He ido a Dee - licious un número de veces durante las vacaciones en Aberdeenshire y nunca me ha decepcionado. Sirven una gran variedad de bebidas calientes y frías, batidos, sándwiches, paninis, sopa, scones, ensaladas, pasteles y galletas. Las tartas siempre muy fresco con un delicioso sabor casero, lo mismo para los bollos y sopa. Las raciones son de buen tamaño y el ambiente es confortable y relajante. Gran servicio, un muy bien equipo.

Dejamos aquí después de un largo paseo por las colinas. En realidad intentó entrar en la cafetería, pero pusieron fuera de Birdhouse por su falta de una mesa de repuesto y su estrecho espacio. Dee-licious es mucho más luminoso y espacioso.

Almorcé aquí. Sopa y pan casero delicioso. No muestra las muchas tartas tenían en exhibición, pero parecían muy bueno y capuchino era yum

Me visita Deelicious una vez a la semana para el almuerzo o un café y bollos. La comida está recién hecha, el pasteles y sopas varían de un día a día - siempre habíamos eelicious' - y hay una gran selección de buena bebida caliente....

After a busy day in town due Xmas shopping. We decided to back home. Deelicious was the best option to have our late lunch. Orderer two paninis with salad and crips.one was bacon,brie &cramberry, the other pest,peppers and mozzarella.Absolutly Deelicious!!!!! We had to leave quick, so we dont order dessert, but the cakes looks so yummy.Of course we will back. As ussual great service, nice place, staff friendly.

My wife and I drove up from Dundee and stopped in to dee-licious coffee shop in Banchory we had coffee and fresh sandwiches. Food and coffee first class, service excellent keep the good work up ladies.

Amazing food, fabulous staff! Soups are always tasty, great selection of fillings and cakes are yummy!

Bang in the centre of Banchory! Comfortable seating inside but what is more, seating outside too! Great place to watch the people walk by! Around the corner, near the NHS centre, there is a huge (paid) parking area. Main street parking is often difficult to find. Great fresh coffee and tasty cakes, well worth a visit . Reasonably priced, too. Recommended.

If in Banchory why not pop into the Dee-Licous tearoom for a well earned cup of tea and a home made scone or pancake, here they are all home made, recommend the large cheese scones which are warmed ? staff are always smiling and helpfel

Delicious mocha served with divine freshly baked gluten free scones. A great treat when you're on the go.

I visit Dee-licious before im going work.They had a lovely fresh baking ready.I ordered a piece of lemon sponge. And a chai latte.Cake was amazing, fresh, soft really tasty.Chai latte was one of the best i have try in the area.For sure i Will back.X

Great food, great service even from the tattooed one. Only joking well worth a visit if in Banchory. Hint- must try the home made soup.

We visited as a quick lunch and had a great meal. The servers were all very friendly and sweet. Would definitely go back again. Wonderful pastries and deserts.

Visited this small café on Main Street a couple of times while on holiday and found the staff very friendly. Good selection of home baking; tea served in a stump teapot which is good. Nice and clean; relaxing seats at the window where you can relax and watch the world go by. Will definitely return when next in the area.

Great Cooked Breakfast of Scrabbled Eggs and Bacon with Brown Bread Toast and Piping Hot Tea. There are also Home Bakes and various Coffees and Hot Chocolate. Good service with a smile. Situated in the centre of the high Street parking may be a problem at 45mins only but long stay parking in the Bellfield public car park off Dee Street is only 200 yards away.

Lovely little cafe, the staff are friendly and the place is very clean,always seems a popular place to go for a coffee and breakfast or lunch.free wifi

I frequently visit this lovely little coffee shop. I absolutely love the coffee and the cheese scones are to die for. Always such a good variety of home bakes too. The staff are extremely helpful and chatty, nothing is ever a problem. The recent changes to the decor have made it look and feel even more welcoming. Love this place

Don't go we went today and ordered a smoothie, coke, scone, m&m cookie and 120 ml of hot water to make a babies bottle. They forgot the cookie and I was then charged 50p for hot water. I will never return which is a shame as I work in the area.

can get half a toastie with soup! very filling, like being in someone kitchen almost as a lot of cluttery items on selves. Would recommend food

Very pleasant staff. Good food. Reasonable prices. Busy with takeaway customers a sign of good food.

I am working my way through the big choice of cafes and tearooms in Banchory and came to this one as the daylight was fading for a cup of tea and something to nibble. Although it was half an hour to closing time, three of the four tables were still occupied. The seats are hard green plastic, although there are two comfy upholstered chairs at the window. The menu showed the usual range of soup, sandwiches and paninis, but I had a pot of tea and a slice of Victoria sponge. The tea was very welcome and the sponge was acceptable, although I have had much better. Staff were pleasant. Nothing much to say against it really.

I had a late lunch there. The smoothie realy nice. We love it.Paninis was nice with the salad. The cakes looks so yummy.We will back for sure.

Perfect family drop by place.Kids want a plain ham sandwich, teenagers wanting a bit more spice, mum a wholesome soup,no problem. All made to order in an open kitchen. Reasonable prices, fresh ingredients, friendly atmosphere and really yummy food.

The kids and I go every week to enjoy their smoothies and cakes. A great little tea shop offering a tasty menu.

Great variety of teas, good coffee, excellent scones and toasties. Well worth a visit for homemade soup and freshly baked scones - available to eat in or takeaway. Friendly staff and clean toilet.

great coffee shop. Excellent coffee, scones and cakes. Snacks also very good.. Service friendly and efficient. Highly recommended

This is a bright and friendly café. It provides a variety of light snacks etc. Do try their scones which are baked on the premises. They have them in a variety of types. Also serve a selection of beverages, home baked cakes, sandwiches etc. The staff are friendly and aim to please. Do visit and enjoy.

went in here as looked a basic cafe area, basic it was ,prices were obscene, read the very poor menu & to be honest after discussing with family we went elsewhere. If you are ready to be ripped off ,please go in here, nio wonder some places give the area a bad name on their pricing

Lovely friendly staff. Cafe was clean. Tea and Coffee tasty.Nice variety of cakes on display. Always busy - which to me is a good sig.Free wifi.

On our way home after staying in Aberdeen over the end of May Bank holiday. Passing through Banchory & decided that we should have a wee break.As we parked on the High Street, noticed the Dee-Licious cafe. We were looking for a bit to eat, sandwich etc., but as it was just after 4.30pm, they had stopped serving hot food. However, hot tea cakes were available so we both had one. The staff were really nice and friendly and chatted to us while we waited for our teacakes & drinks.We had a very pleasant 20 odd minutes in the cafe & were made most welcome. Lovely cafe & staff.

Dee-lishious is the perfect place to stop for a bite or just a drink in Banchory. I have visited a few times and had always had something delicious to eat. All the food is homemade and it shows as it is all packed full of fantastic flavour. The soup is always tasty and filling and I find it difficult to choose sometimes. I really can recommend the Chilli Chicken Paninis and the side salad they come with is just the right amount.Now I can't review Dee-licious without mentioning the cakes! There is always a fantastic selection and it can be hard to choose at times as they all look soooo good! No matter what you choose you won't be disappointed as they are all amazing! Last but not least I need to mention the staff. They are all so friendly and welcoming! All in all a great example of what an independent cafe should be!

Enjoyed a very tasty curried yellowsplit pea soup and a fabulously cheesy cheese scone (hard to find a good cheese scone in my experience). Delightful staff + good food =happy customer, thank you!

Great place very friendly staff. Great Wifi connections great location in the middle of the town/village good for if you are wanting something to drink or eat.

I'm not often so impressed by a coffee shop that I feel the need to leave a review but Dee-Licious on Banchory High Street is simply brilliant. My partner and I often like to visit the countryside during our free time and like to stop for coffee and a bite to eat as part of our trip. Dee-Licious is now at the top of my list of favourite stop-offs! We both had the home-made soup (hearty vegetable broth) and a panini (pulled pork) - everything was fresh and flavourful and was exactly what we were looking for after a long walk in the beautiful countryside that surrounds this picturesque town. We were so impressed by the quality of our lunch that we couldn't leave without trying some of the home-baking on offer - a vivid array of the most beautiful cakes that I have ever had the pleasure of choosing from. I think I have found the tastiest scones in Deeside! To accompany the cakes we had both a latte and a cappuccino - both full flavoured coffees that could not be faulted. Everything we purchased was very reasonably priced and I noticed that you can even buy produce from local suppliers - such as eggs, jams and marmalades - within the café.The atmosphere of the coffee shop is laid back and friendly - the staff are welcoming and attentive and allowed us to enjoy our lunch in peace whilst people watching through the large window that looks out onto the high street - a bustling mix of colours and characters!I know we will certainly be back to enjoy this little gem and would very much recommend a visit if you are in the area - you will not be disappointed!

Decided to go here as the preferred cafe nearby was full. Slow service even though cafe was not busy, and other people were served before us even though we came in before them. Was not asked if our meals were fine. Noisy ambience but expected. Food was just OK, quite bland. Nothing great or special.

Even before entering and experiencing the customer service, I could see through the big glass window that the diverse mix of clientele signified the obvious welcoming nature of the staff – treat everyone as equals. Purpose: some people were there for a coffee, some to do what looked like studying, some having a good old chinwag, and some steadily filtering in and out for takeaways.Nothing pleases me more than clarity. I must have looked a tad lost when I arrived for lunch because I’ve never been here before. This was quickly rectified when I saw the easy to read, easy to follow instructions on a big sign at the till. At this café, they want you to place your order and pay at the counter. Often, the customer is in a queue at the counter, under pressure to pick lunchtime sustenance from menus on blackboards overhead, in time for their turn to be served (without holding up the queue). However, here, there are menus on the tables, so you can take a seat, make your choice, and wander up to the counter when you’re ready.We approached the bar, and were served by the person who appeared to be in charge, the owner perhaps. Friendly, nice, authoritative. My guest and I ordered separately one after the other, then returned to our bar stools at the window. We were offered the choice of paying now or at the end. The cakes and fresh scones in the display cabinet looked fabulous, therefore I decided to pay for my lunch and coffee now to avoid temptation if I had any reason to return to the counter. I was given the choice of a mug or cup and saucer for my flat white. I was actually shown the difference, and I opted for the mug (much bigger). Both our lunches were colourful: toasties with side salad as standard, and a tasty dressing in a pot for you to chuck over the salad if you want to. One small niggle – I would have liked our orders to have been served at the same time, not one after the other. But when the drinks and food were served, they were done so by a very polite young server.I could have sat there all afternoon, it was very laid back. Of course this would have increased the risk of crumbling to the call of cake. This place is named cleverly, and lives up to its intentions. And the person in charge has nailed the essence of good hospitality on the head.Dee-licious in Banchory: you’ve been served.Sometime in February 2015

We had a toasted sandwich each and they were both very scrummy. One was brie and cranberry and the other was cheese and ham. We particularly liked the individual teapots too :))

What a contrast to the usual chain coffee / lunch spot! We were visitors to the town and stumbled across this delightful cafe - apparently owner managed and staffed by cheerful and enthusiastic staff. All the food was homemade and we enjoyed smoked haddock chowder, scone and large cups of coffee. The place was really busy with locals. Our lunchtime pitstop cost less than £15 - great value.

Small cafe but varied menu - at 12 noon we had between us bacon roll, walnut traybake, courgette soup and child portion of chicken noodle soup (these last 3 will change though!) Nice atmosphere and friendly staff and a Lego table for wee ones - so perfect for any time of day.

Had a fab bacon buttie with a lovely cup of tea. The 2 girls serving were friendly and helpful. Nothing to dislike about this place.

Been a few times to this lovely cafe. Where do I start the cakes are home baked and taste just like my mother use to bake (cranberry banana loaf WINNER) and the scones are just amazing always different kinds. The soup is alway lovely. Thumbs up all round

great friendly service and a relaxing place. enjoyed our drinks and food on each visit. We never waited too long and we were never rushed to leave, even when we had finished and just sat relaxing and they could have done with the seats.

This coffee shop in the centre of Banchory is tardis-like, with a surprising amount of space for customers on the inside. It is clean, warm and has a good atmosphere.Approaching the counter can be a wee bit daunting, but the homebakes we tried -- a cheese scone and an aero traybake cake -- were delicious, though my companion feared her traybake was going to fire off onto the floor as she tried to cut into it, so had to ask for assistance which was good-naturedly given.I have a disability in my hands, which made the tea procedure too much of a faff, though I imagine it is one of the things which normally attracts tea aficionados. It goes like this. The tea comes loose in a round metal sieve thing which you drop into your cup of hot water, then take out when your tea is the required strength.First you have to pour the hot water from the pot, then do the dunk procedure, then -- in my case --pour cold water from a second pot as I don't take milk. Most places just give me a tiny jug of water instead of milk.The person in charge had explained at the counter that the tea was loose and the procedure was simple and I agree it probably is for normal hands, but when the laden tray arrived I was a bit concerned and asked the young waitress to do it for me, then take everything away leaving just the cup of requested weak tea, which she did in a matter of seconds.The manager restated that the process was really very simple, so I had to explain my invisible disability a second time. The young staff were fast, friendly, efficient and very accommodating; the chairs were comfortable and every table offered a view of the world going by if you wanted it, though the provision of copies of the excellent Scots magazine was a lovely touch for solo guests or anyone waiting for a companion to finish.We almost didn't go into Dee-licious as it appeared not to have toilet facilities, but we were told the door is marked Private to stop non-customers visiting it.A few tiny touches would nudge Dee-licious into the "excellent" category it so obviously works hard to achieve.

Been here a few times whilst visiting Banchory with friends, the coffee, snacks and cakes have always been nice, reasonable price and staff always happy to please.

Welcomed at the counter and order taken swiftly. Good coffee and excellent cake served in a timely manner. Nice ambience with the cafe full and people outside. Offered a good range of sandwiches etc which we did not sample

We visited as other areas were full and sadly the experience was dull and almost predictable. Service was zombie like and although coffee and food was good, you still had that feeling like you had interrupted those around you by giving them your service. Very odd.....However this was 18 months ago so perhaps things have improved

Had good food and nice modern atmosphere. Not overly impressed in going to counter to order when there are so few tables.Main issue was staff attitude. The lady who seemed to be the owner had a very cavalier attitude to customer service. She was abrupt and did not exude friendliness. Not once was I asked if everything was ok.

Lovely wee place with a small selection of gifts for sale, good food with great service in a bright and cheery atmosphere :)

Lovely coffee great home bakes, amazing service would highly recommend this place. Friendly staff Tara Gauld :)

Nice place , tables well spaced out , very friendly service. My wife & I had sandwiches & coffees. Very good sandwich although maybe a wee bit too much side salad. Great coffees - just right. Good service & free good speed Wi-Fi.

My partner and I chanced on Dee Licious in the village of Banchory a few weeks ago whilst visiting family and friends in the area.We weren't expecting anything too exciting, just a warm snack and a beveridge of some sort as the day was on the chilly side. What we received from the three very pleasant staff members present were lovely hot and tasty toasted sandwiches (I had a panini and my partner just a regular toastie) flanked by the sweetest and crispiest salad I have tasted in a long time and an absolutely gorgeous garlic dip!The dip was so Dee Licious that I asked the staff member who served us what type it was, but unfortunately it was a wholesale one so unobtainable to jo public.Will definately be back to enjoy this again though!My partner - he paid the bill no this occasion - said it was a tad pricey, but I still think it was very, very worht it!

Had lovely soup and dee-licious cheese scone here. More spacious than other tea rooms in banchory so great with the pram and very accommodating of the little one (with books and toys supplied to keep him amused)
