Green Pastures Cafe in Aberdeenshire

Lovely cafe with plenty of choice. The food is always good quality and freshly made. Nice friendly welcome too from the staff. You might need to wait for a table but it is worth the wait.

We travel quite a distance to enjoy (usually) this cafe. Sadly today was a disappointment. We order the special … stovies, beetroot and oatcakes. Well they arrived and looked really fine but were served luke warm. Yes we could have mentioned to the server but they were ever so busy. Would we rush back probably not

Went for lunch today. We both had a sandwich along with the soup of the day. The sandwiches had plenty filling and the soup was delicious (carrot & coriander). The staff were lovely and very attentive.

Great stop for a coffee/ tea. Options for tea and scones or cakes, brunch and lunch. The food is of high quality and most of it freshly made. The menu changes its soup and quiche choices very frequently. They are always very good. There is a “special” lunch every day. The staff are attentive and friendly. The cafe is large and two sides of it are windows - so it’s light. It is situated in a large popular communal church but quite separate from the functional part of it. It is located on the western edge of Westhill and satnav useful for your first visit. Lots of parking spaces. Not to be missed if you’re in the area.

The food is still excellent. The service is still first class. The prices are still very reasonable. We would definitely recommend here for breakfast or lunch.

I came here on Saturday lunchtime and it’s still as good as ever. I’d recommend the breakfast rolls, and their pancakes are delicious too. They also do good soup at lunchtimes, and the coffees are nice as well. Highly recommended.

Such a wonderful place to visit. The staff are lovely and the food was cooked perfectly. We were a table of 8 and it was no issue at all.

I came here Thursday lunchtime. The service was great. The food was delicious. The prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend.

Went with a friend for lunch today. It was busy but did not have to wait too long for a table. The staff are friendly & nice. All food is made as far as I know on made on premises so fresh. Daily specials which can be quite different. Enjoyed soup & a lovely BBQ chicken spinach & chutney on a toasted sourdough bread. Afterwards tea with as they say in Aberdeen a fine piece. Relaxed atmosphere very family friendly, easy access for disabled people. Good parking facilities.

The food is always cooked fresh which is a big plus. I would recommend their homemade soup, and the breakfast rolls are delicious too. The service is always good too. The prices are quite reasonable, I think. I would definitely come back again soon.

This is a real find! Lovely lunch with some interesting flavour combinations, super staff and views towards the distant mountains through the large picture windows. There is a huge car park, so no parking issues. Altogether a great experience, we will be back!

Stopped for a coffee and snack on a Friday morning. I enjoyed my bacon roll with tasty thick bacon & my husband was delighted with 2 thick slices of tasty black pudding. Both were served in fresh soft baps. Our son loved his fluffy pancake which was bigger than we expected. The coffee was strong & tasty. The toys & books to keep our son amused was an added bonus. We will certainly be back :)

I came here Saturday lunchtime. The place was heaving. There was a wee craft fair on the lobby. The food was delicious. I had the tomato soup + cheese/ham sandwich. The service was excellent, the staff always have a smile on their faces. The bill came to +£16 for two people which is quite a lot but we had a really enjoyable experience and will definitely come back again.

Every Thursday we sing to our heart's content Then into Green Pastures until our tummies are content The staff are so amazing...helpful in every way.. The food suits everyone and sets us on our way.. The soups are delicious as are the quiches and pies. Something for everyone ..gluten free...veggie...not a lie You are guaranteed something to tickle your taste buds Accessible for all..just spread the word..

I came here on Saturday at around 11:30. The cafe was fully booked as there was a lot of cyclists in having their brunch. I had a black pudding roll and a soup, and both were out-of-this-world tasty. Hat's off to the chef for making such fresh, piping hot, and tasty food. The service was also really good, with the young staff members doing their best to find us a seat when it was busy. Our bill came to around £15 for two people which was good value for money. There is a large car park outside, including two benches for outside seating with great views over to Clachnaben. Overall we had a lovely experience and we will definitely come back again soon.

I came here today for the first time... it was so good I’m planning to come back every weekend. The service was absolutely flawless. The food was delicious. We had the soup + sandwich and it was delicious. There is plenty of free parking and nice views out towards Clachnaben. The bill came to £16 which was quite pricey but probably comparable with other places nearby. The only minor issue was that we upgraded our regular sandwich to include the soup for an extra £3, but it turns out you lose the slaw/crisps with this option which was disappointing... it would be nice if you could still get the slaw/crisps even when paying to upgrade with the soup (as it looked yummy when we saw it on other people’s plates). Overall we had a great experience and we will definitely be coming back again soon.

I eat at the Green Pastures Cafe about once a week and I absolutely love it. The cafe, as part of the Westhill Community Church, has tonnes of parking and the welcome is always cheerful. The menu is varied with Gluten Free and Vegan options...

Friendly roomy cafe with excellent service and beautiful views, - what more could you ask for! Staying in Westhill we wanted somewhere other than a chain restaurant for a late breakfast and this filled the spot perfectly.

Visited on Sat 7th August for lunch. As always the staff were friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious. We all thoroughly enjoyed what we ordered - my quiche was fantastic. Lovely views of the surrounding countryside just topped it all off!! I highly...

Excellent brunch - friendly staff, clean & pleasant restaurant- food was great value- freshly cooked

Five Stars. Beautiful location with spectacular views. Wonderful staff. Fantastic choice of home made foods and soups. Very comfortable and spacious seating. Without doubt the BBQ sub roll with pineapple is probably the best sandwich I have ever had.. Can very easily and gladly recommend...

Amazing lunch. Flat bread, cauliflower, hummus salad. Sitting outside in the sun with my mum and dog Milo.

Visited Green Pastures after reviews on Trip Advisor, so pleased we went. It was so very clean and the food was exceptional. Lovely welcoming staff. Would recommend this cafe to anyone.

Had a nice light lunch with a friend. We both enjoyed the food freshly made sandwiches, home bakes etc. Busy little place with very friendly staff.

When Mia had a coffee and a cake it was okay the people are nice enough but I’ve had better but some people might like it but I didn’t really like it

This is an excellent cafe on the outskirts of Westhill located inside the church. The food is freshly prepared and cooked daily on the premises. Staff are always warm and friendly. A good selection of sandwiches are available, along with quiche and soup. Home bakes...

A lovely selection to choose from. The service was excellent. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful as was the staff behind the counter. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced.

Not my first visit to Green Pastures Cafe but I haven't been in a while. Delicious food as always. I really emjoyed the Halloumi Quinoa & roasted veg salad. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. It's definitely my favourite place for lunch in Westhill...

Our favourite coffee shop /cafe. Excellent food - last two visits we had the quiche of the day with salad. Lovely. Great ambience, super staff. Give it a try. Ps soup great too. 👍😊

I visited with my daughter for lunch, I thought we’d give it a try since we were in the area, and I’d heard really good reports. I decided on a sandwich served with salad and potato crisps and the option to add soup for an...

Had lunch with a group of retired gents after an interesting talk/slideshow. The roll fillings are TASTY the the quiches DEVINE.

Lovely bright cafe area, with a wonderful view over the Aberdeenshire countryside. Excellent food & snacks, served by pleasant staff.

Stunning views from restaurant. Loads of parking spaces and always a very friendly welcome. Great place for a coffee and catch up and they always have a very tempting lunch menu.

An excellent cafe - great coffee and eats, friendly staff, nice ambiance, and lovely location. So good that it is always a treat to go back again and again!

I love visiting church cafes run in the community, by the community. This one has a really different menu which was just delicious. Light and bright surroundings too. Great to have water available just to help ourselves.

Visited before and had to write another review, as found the staff still very helpful and friendly, loved choice of cakes!!!!

My wife wanted to try this place but I was sceptical as it was attached to a local church so did not know what to expect. Well I have been bowled over by this place with the quality of food, great atmosphere and beautiful views...

Green Pastures Café has a great selection of sandwiches (which taste delicious); fresh, homemade soup daily (which is also delicious) and on top of that they have great service delivered by happy, smiley people. What more could you possibly want at a lunch time?

I have been here with family and friends multiple times and am yet to be disappointed in the slightest, friendly staff, great food, a place for kids to play, I just can’t fault it.

My first - and last visit. I ordered a pot of tea for one and got what must have been the weakest tea teabag ever. The fact that it cost £2 really added insult to injury. Only a couple of days later I bought another...

The cafe was quiet when we arrived for our early lunch, but it was very busy by the time we were on to our second pot of tea. I opted for the home-made salmon mousse with capers, served with a fresh salad and a lovely,...

Having found Green Pastures it was one of those finds you don't want to share as the food on offer is great. When you have placed your order just sit back and take in the view across the hills of Donside and beyond it breath...

We had a lovely coffee and scones The staff were very nice and took our order. We found a table and our order was served by a plesant waitress. The scones were very fresh. We had a plain scone and a fruit scone the cheese...

Passed the cafe several times and always said ‘must go there’. So glad we did. Lovely cafe, great food, reasonable price, friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

Love popping in here for a cup of tea and a bakewell tart slice. Only ting that would make it 'top dog' would be if they stayed open until 3.30pm instead of closing at 3pm as we dont really want tea and cake at 2.30pm....

I had never really thought of using the church café before, but in need of a sandwich we stopped off as wife had been in for coffee before and liked it. You have a great view out Deeside (well when the sun is shining), and...

I was in with a friend yesterday for the first time. The food was very tasty and fresh. Friendly staff. Would definitely recommend to anyone living in the area. The decor was very appropriate.

I've been here plenty of times for lunch now and it's about time I write a well-deserved glowing review! This facility and cafe has been a superb addition to Westhill. The food is always freshly prepared and delicious - wonderful soups, sandwiches and bakes. It's...

We visit here every week, after our choir practice. It has become so popular that most of our members join us. The soups are amazing, the quiches and specials too- There is something for everyone-just pay and they serve you. The scones are quite the...

First time we have visited here. Arrived just as they were closing at 3p.m. so not much choice left. I had a yummy millionaires shortbread and he had a bakewell biscuit. Both were delicious. 2 cups of tea for £3 and tray bakes were £1.90p...

Didn’t know this cafe existed and ate there today for the first time. Excellent very quick friendly service, excellent home made food and reasonably priced. Would highly recommend this cafe. Plenty parking and child friendly.

Was told about this cafe by a friend and how I had never been before or knew about it I do not know. Lovely service, staff and food. For choice and flavour it was great value for money. Variety of customers and I will be...

Last Friday I had the occassion to visit Green Pastures Cafe for morning coffee with a few friends. My daughter was attending a music class in the church with my grandchild. She asked the man who runs the cafe if it was possible to reserve...

Come here regularly with friends. Small selection of lunch items, lovely sandwiches and nice soup, also assorted cakes and scones. Beautiful views too!

plain fare and a very good cost. Friendly 'staff' and surroundings, the ideal place to pop in to for a hot drink and a fine piece.

Walked in to have a bacon roll unfortunately I was too late but that was great because the soup and sandwich was epic! Staff were friendly and loveable and attentive!! Will come back again!

Freshly made food, opens at 10 and staff always friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking and lovely fresh cakes too. We go regularly from Kingswells to westhill to meet friends here.

First time we had visited this cafe. I had the lentil/vegetable soup and a coronation chicken sandwich. The sandwich & soup was good but the soup didn’t have enough lentils for my liking “a bit watery” but tasty. My wife had a fruit scone which...

Always come here when the community centre has its craft fairs. Lovely food, cooked to order. Fast friendly service.

This café is very child friendly and has a designated play area. On my visit if was nearly all Mums with young children so not for everyone. That said, service was very good and prices competitive.

We had lunch here today. I wasn't expecting much but was blown away by the amazing food and very friendly staff. The portions were very generous and even when my granddaughter didn't like the bread used to make her sandwich, they took it away and...

On our way north today, we were looking for some lunch. By chance we came upon this Cafe. And what a find! The chilli with rice and coriander met with a big thumbs up. My salmon pate with sourdough toast was delicious! Well done to...

Visited with a friend on a Saturday lunchtime and had a delicious lunch. Lovely clean cafe with very friendly staff. The quiche was delicious. Not my first visit and I have always had great food and service. I will definitely be back.

Part of the Westhill church, the green pastures cafe is a pleasant place for a family to relax. We went for breakfast and to be totally honest the menu is really limited (needs a full Scottish breakfast!!) but then it's a small kitchen cafe. We...

Surrounded by super views of the Aberdeen countryside we had a lovely lunch. Homemade chicken soup and sandwich. It was full of chicken and very tasty. Followed by a large light pancake with butter and jam. the staff were very friendly. Great value.

Great place to stop for coffee and cake or lunch . Good food, freshly made and excellent value . Great service , spotlessly clean and lovely views .

Had wonderful scones and pancakes here the other day, freshly baked. So good we came back for lunch today and enjoyed the best sandwiches ever. Super fresh buns, tasty fillings -just right amount, not so much it was too squidgy, not so little you had...

Lunched here yesterday. We were rather late but there was still plenty to choose from. I very much enjoyed a Caesar Salad which was every bit as good as others I have tasted in grander surroundings at very much higher cost! The food is freshly...

Nice setting for a coffee with large windows and nice views. Very much enjoyed the fruit scones but the coffee was too milky for our taste and hadn't a lot of coffee flavour. Would go back but probably have a tea instead.

Lovely bright and light coffee and lunch place. Great service, take out coffee available. Everyone pleasant and smiling and top class loo!!

We have been meeting at Green Pastures Cafe one Saturday morning a month for some time now, and we all love it! They have a range of delicious cakes and traybakes, plus the usual selection of hot drinks, and juices. There is always something gluten...

A lovely bright coffee shop, good coffee and soup freshly made. Food is ordered at the counter and then staff bring it too the table. The place is busy because of the quality.

I was taken here for lunch by my friend, as I did not know it even existed! The restaurant is open and bright with full height windows on two sides overlooking beautiful countryside. There is a huge car park, so you don't have to go...

Was here this morning with a friend. We had the best home made scones I have ever tasted the staff are very nice and helpful . Very clean as well . Would definitely go back

I live nearby ( lucky me!) and go quite often for lunch. As a vegetarian I am used to having only one choice and making do , here, however, there is plenty of choice for most dietary requirements, and every time I have had one...

It's a very friendly place the service is ace. My kids love going there - there is a kids corner with books, some toys, pictures to color. The food is fresh and delicious.

This is a very nice cafe inside the Westhill Community Church. The building is very modern and the cafe is bright and clean with floor to ceiling windows on two sides with views over the countryside. I have been here several times over the months,...

...with crispy bacon and maple syrup Divine! Available until 11ish in the morning, so you'll need to get up early! Airy and clean space, busy and mostly staffed by volunteers, it's a lovely place for a cuppa with your pals

Visited with family on the Saturday before Mothers Day for lunch. We have been quite a few times now and always get great service and delicious food. I thoroughly recommend this cafe and will most definitely be back.

Well worth a visit - soup & sandwiches, teas, coffees and tray bakes, and all for a good cause Thoroughly recommended

The toasties were delicious and freshly made in the open kitchen. We ordered a chicken tikka, a meatball, a ham and cheese and a cheese toastie. Each came with freshly made slaw and crisps. The menu consists of various sandwich toppings on either a seeded...

We had seriously scrumptious Brie and bacon toasties followed by lovely, homemade fruit scones and loads of tea. Children really enjoyed their boxes with freshly made egg mayo rolls. They enjoyed playing with the toys whilst my husband and I chilled. Really nice atmosphere and...

What a view ! That would take some beating any where . Massive car park Lovely that it is part of a community churchmostly staffed by volunteers who all seem happy to be there The food is good very home made Every one very welcoming...

Definitely the place to go for lunch in Westhill. Great food, always a warm welcome & a really nice atmosphere. Cheese scones are delicious!

The cafe area in this community church serves mainly sandwiches (interesting/tasty varieties of), paninis, quiches and cakes/pastries together with coffees and teas, soft drinks. The venue is south facing and is bright and clean (window seating can be a bit warm in the summer). Sound...

On the recommendation of other reviews, my friend and I decided to give the Green Pastures Cafe a try this morning and boy were we not disappointed. We had been attracted by the comments about "best scones EVER" and we are now in a position...
