Hidden Treasures Cafe in Aberdeenshire

We came across this lovely cosy café on a brief stop when travelling from Aberdeen to Monifieth . We were warmly welcomed and enjoyed coffee and a delicious s one. Next time we’ll aim to stop here at lunchtime. Everything being served looked delicious.

Went in with my friend for a coffee and was faced with a major choice of lovely home baked cakes and tray bakes! I have never seen such a selection and looked for a couple of minutes then asked the owner to choose a cake! I ordered a latte and my friend had an americano and a fruit scone, very soon after our order arrived! Wow I got a lovely latte and a massive Victoria sponge topped with a strawberry, the sponge was so moist and flavoursome. My friends coffee and scone was very nice as well! Freshly homemade food cannot be beaten! Can’t wait to return Thanks again a gem by the harbour

Great wee cafe, cakes & cheesecakes are delicious. Very busy at peak times. Food can be eaten in or takeaway. Great range of home baking

We visited Johnshaven and were in need of lunch. The Hidden Treasure Tearoom is in an ideal location right at the harbour with a nice view. Service is friendly and the place is busy and buzzing. We had a couple of scones, a cake and a sandwich. Quality was decent. Interestingly, tables were reserved in a tearoom.

This is a perfect stop off on a coastal walk from St Cyrus to Inverbervie. We had coffee and my son chose a rocky road cake to refuel.

What a gem of a cafe. Fantastic selection of speciality teas and cakes and very helpful staff. We arrived at the cafe late afternoon when they were only serving tea, coffee and cakes. My sister-in-law is diabetic and was disappointed there were no savoury offerings after 3pm. However when she explained to the staff, they were able to offer her a fruit slice made with coconut suger which she could safely eat. It was a huge slice and delicious. I had a rocky road topped with a tunnock teacake. OMG! It was devine. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Made our day, genuinely excellent. Fab selection of cake, excellent soup, wonderfully friendly staff. Our French friends we’re wowed

We were here today! A great little place just a pity we haven't been before now. Very good products! The cheese cake was wonderful a nice atmosphere not expensive also well done all round.

Such a beautiful place. 🥰 Friendly staff, super delicious cakes!!! It really is a hidden treasure. We'll be back when we're on holiday in Scotland again.

Owners are always friendly and welcoming, the food is excellent, fresh, high quality and well priced. Have been here to pick up lunch or a cake many times now and not once have I been disappointed. Can’t recommend a visit enough.

Worth a visit for lovely fresh baking and a coffee. Ice cream Ice also Visited a few times when staying nearby

Great choice of pastries, cakes and hot snacks. Not cheap but when you see the amount of bacon in the bacon roll you know you've got your money's worth.Spotlessly clean inside with all the precautions taken for covid.Enjoyed sitting on the bench outside in the lovely warm sunshine.

Visited this cafe after exploring Starfish Studio (worth a visit too). Could not go in but had a coffee, bacon sandwich and cake. All delicious and well worth the wait. We sat and ate them at the harbour with the sun beating down. Beautiful experience.

Reasonably priced cafe which is only offering take-away at the moment. Lovely coffee and home baking (vegan options too), and my friend tells me they do the best bacon roll for miles! They also do scoop ice creams and have a vegan vanilla.

This little gem was a delight, spotlessley clean, imaginative decor and friendly staff and to top it all excellent food. I would certainly say this is well worth a visit and will certaily be there any time I am i n Johnshaven

This is the second time I have reviwed this coffee shop. We visit on a fairly regular basis and have never been disappointed. Well worth the 40 mile drive. This morning is was bacon and egg rolls and yes..... double yokers. Yummie. Lovely coffee. At different times we have sampled the cheese scones, fruit scones and Victoria sponge all of which we would highly recommend. The owners are charming and the place is spotless and in a beautiful location. Reasonable prices. What's not to like. Wee tip though they are closing 22 December and opening again maybe February weather dependent and they close on a Wednesday. Believe their Facebook page is now up and running.

A delightful tearoom with amazing cakes and a perfect view of the old fishing harbour in Johnshaven. As well as the home-baked cakes, there are welcome sandwiches and soup. Also a wide range of ice-creams in the warmer months. Very friendly and helpful staff. An asset to this beautiful village.

Lovely friendly cafe offering sandwiches, soup and bacon rolls, followed by delicious cakes. All served up by friendly staff. Fantastic views out to sea from cafe,

We have been several times and each time the food is delicious. I cannot say enough that is good about the cakes! Hearty soup, I do like the Lentil and bacon and the latte is really good. There is always a warm welcome. The walkers seem to enjoy coming in from the rain and the cold ready to set off again feeling fortified.

Nice little cafe with view over the harbour. Friendly, welcoming proprietors keen to help tourists with local information. Soup and sandwiches were excellent and well-priced. Selection of gluten free cakes available.

Lovely friendly staff, nice welcome, fantastic location right on the harbour with spectacular views, we had coffee and cake, delicious! Definitely recommend xx

Cute and cosy wee café with welcoming and friendly staff. Delicious homemade cakes. This cafe is on the coastal path so a great spot for walkers to have a rest and some refreshments.

Called here on a sunny day and Johnshaven couldn't be more perfect.Found this gem of a cafe and had a lovely lunch served by the ever smiling owner. After a stroll around the small harbour we returned for ice-cream and cake and coffee. Sat outside and sunned ourselves and looked at a flat calm sea. All the food is absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. Light airy tea room, very clean, as are the toilets. A definite 'must do' on your itinerary.

Hidden Treasures - is a wee tearoom/cafe, so aptly named. There was a beautiful range of baking to choose from. The Victoria Sponge was as light as a feather and the coffee lovely.

Really nice tearoom in a lovely village - sea views and great, friendly service in spotless surroundings

This is the third time we've visited Johnshaven but the first time we have been to Hidden Treasures. The cakes are delicious and getting a great ice-cream in the village is a real bonus. Lovely addition to a beautiful village.

Situated on the harbour front at Johnshaven, the Hidden Treasures Tearoom is a spotlessly clean, light and airy café which opened in spring 2019. It has hit on a winning formula with friendly staff, delicious cakes and a superb location. We sat at the window table watching the waves roll onto the harbour walls while having tea and marvellous scones. It was a pleasant break in our coastal walk. Seek it out if you’re in Johnshaven.

This is a hidden treasure, overlooking the harbour. Spotlessly clean and new . The owner is lovely and very helpful. I drink Green tea and had a tropical blend

We stopped by on the way to Aberdeen on a very very wet day! The lovely hot tea and frankly amazing Victoria sponge cake with fresh cream and strawberries was exactly what was needed to brighten up a dull, grey and rainy day. Super clean loo too!

Coffee and bacon and egg rolls were delicious. Nice ambience. Will be back. The cakes looked amazing too and the coffee shop was spotless as was the toilet area.

Stopped in here on our way home and had a lovely coffee and cake. I'm caffeine intolerant so was pleased to see that they offered a decaf option. We all chose a different coffee and cake and they were all fab!

Lovely range of ice creams and a really good price, nice to site outside and enjoy the view or just stroll along and enjoy your ice cream.

Went here today for a birthday treat and it was lovely. Only 7 tables but staff were very friendly and the service was excellent. Not much choice for food options, soup, sandwich or bacon/ egg roll, but the food was fresh and tasted amazing. They did have a fantastic variety of cakes and tray bakes ( which were very fresh & delicious) and even catered for Gluten Free. I can highly recommend the Courgette & Walnut cake with a scoop of ice cream..scrummy.

This certainly was a hidden treasure. We were so pleased to find this lovely place as it’s a new venture and wasn’t here when we last visited this delightful fishing village. What a lovely welcome we received from both the owners. It was such a beautifully clean and pretty coffee shop. We ate the best breakfast we have had for some time and it was just a lovely environment to wake up in and start the day. The coffee was very tasty and strong too as requested. It was very reasonable too for such good quality food. We will be visiting here for breakfast for the rest of our weeks stay in Johnshaven. Thank you to you both,

Very welcoming with fine coffee and a range of excellent cakes. Well worth the short diversion from the main road -or as a destination in its own right. Easy to find location overlooking the harbour. (closed on Wed.)

Stopped in with my dad for some lunch on Sunday 3rd of June. Place was in a lovely location and staff were friendly. Dad had soup and a bacon roll. I can't eat gluten so the sandwiches and rolls were off the menu but fortunately the soup was gluten free and they had some gluten free oatcakes for me as an alternative. Fantastic cake selection! A choice of a few gluten free bakes. I went for the gluten free courgette and lime cake which was delicious. Will be back!

Popped into this cafe today 2nd June, very friendly staff spotlessly clean and good selection of tasty cakes and scones, also serve home made soup and bacon rolls. Nicely decorated with fishing and seaside theme. Good coffees and teas served piping hot. Will be going back soon.

I had walked along the coastal trail from Inverbervie to Johnshaven and was hoping there might be a cafe when I arrived. This little gem is right on the seafront and looks very clean and welcoming with a good view out to the harbour. The lunch menu is limited - soup, sandwiches and bacon rolls seemed to be all there was. No baked potatoes, paninis or toasties. Also they don't seem to do a soup and sandwich deal where you can add a small bowl of soup to a sandwich for an extra £2 or so. That might be a good idea to pick up. However they do have a very impressive display of cakes and ice cream. Despite there not being a deal, I had soup which was cock a leekie and a ham and cheese sandwich. The soup was good and the sandwich was a very generous size with lots of cheese, served with salad, coleslaw and a small bowl of crisps. Afterwards I had a coffee and chose a piece of lemon sponge cake which again was a generous slice and totally delicious. The carrot cake also looked very tempting. It was the first time I had been in Johnshaven, and I found myself already planning to return. The staff were pleasant and helpful and the toilet very modern and clean and disability accessible. It's a bit off the beaten track for drivers, as you have to make a deliberate effort to turn off the main road, but well worth the trouble.

We often walk from Inverberbie to Johnshaven and have often said if only there was a cafe. Now there is how delightful it is too. First class service memorable bakes and a harbour view. What more could you ask for. Highly recommended, well be back often.

A warm welcome and speedy service. I thoroughly enjoyed my tea and scone, that came with jam and butter. Lunch choices are on offer and I will be back. The tea room is right beside the harbour, well though out, clean and has an interesting choice of reading matter. Already looking forward to my next visit.

Lovely little cafe by the beach. Warm welcome, delicious cakes, lovely coffee and the kids devoured the ice cream. Tastefully decorated, relaxing atmosphere. Well worth the short trip off the main road.

Highly recommend this cafe for a coffee cake and snacks. Nicely laid out and cosy atmosphere. Coffee was excellent and a good selection of specialist teas. Tasty baking and friendly owners.

Popped in for tea and cake and was lucky to get a seat in this popular cafe. Prompt and friendly service, tea and cake were presented well and very tasty. Love the marine theme and you can watch the harbour on the live webcam. Spotless toilet.

My family came to visit and we decided to go for coffee etc at the Hidden Treasures cafe.

This was our first visit to this tea room, as it has only recently opened and we were immediately struck with the lovely marine themed decor. As the tearoom is next to the harbour it is very appropriate. The service was very very good and the homemaking was superb. I choose a chocolate and orange cake and it was one of the best cakes I have ever had and as a lover of cakes that is praise indeed.
