Inversnecky Cafe in Aberdeen City

This has been my go-to for coffee for the past 16 years. Limited menu, but all good value and always well presented. If you like the traditional style menu then this is perfect.

Inversnecky Cafe has always been brilliant, food great 5*, staff great 5*, food always fresh and well presented, just like the staff 👍 5*. Staff always very polite😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

Ridiculously overpriced. You pay for the beach view basically . £9 for the special breakfast which consists of 1 sausage, 2 bacon, 1egg, half a tomato and 1 slice toast. Rip off

Disappointing visit today, lack of description for items on the menu, bbq burger has onions which isnt mentioned which meant i couldnt eat it as i have a big aversion to onions (sensory issues) , no check backs from staff on how food was, drinks were overly expensive as £3.20 for a can of juice and £3 for a small glass of fresh orange is ridiculous. My partner enjoyed his burger after he took the onions off. Mentioned to staff before leaving about the lack of description and she just shrugged.

Great breakfast, not expensive nor cheap... the average price nowadays...

Quick and friendly table service

I love coming to Inversnecky for business meetings! It's casual and still feels comfortable. The view is lovely, the staff very kind and the food has always been delicious.

Friendly staff never had any reason not to go back there.

Great little cafe but portions can be huge especially salads and baked potatoes. We can never eat it all

Really nice breakfast, with fantastic service

Was guided to this place via a Google search, pictures of the food looked decent, greasy spoonish which I preferred than a posh coffee shop with limited choice of food. I ordered the largest most expensive breakfast off the menu, referred to as the special breakfast £9 without a drink which I thought was a bit pricey but it's on the beach front so hey ho. I asked for no hash brown and was offered an extra slice of toast which I gladly accepted. When the breakfast arrived I was bitterly disappointed. If I would have had a coffee with it, it would have been over £12. I will add a photo to show you what the 'special' breakfast looks like. No beans, no black pudding, no mushrooms, 1/2 a tomato, 1 sausage 🤷🏻‍♂️ the 2nd picture is a breakfast in Liverpool including toast and coffee for £5.50. I will let you judge for yourself

Piping hot coffee and lovely sausage in a bun to heat me up after a walk on a chilly beach. No matter what you order in food it comes piping hot and freshly cooked. Staff always efficient and friendly and even though it was really busy the staff kept tables cleared and cleaned. Definitely recommend this cafe.

Pricing is the most confusing thing I’ve ever seen…. A black coffee is £3.50, a glass of milk is £3, yet a white coffee is £3.50? A filled croissant or baguette with crisps, salad etc is £7.75, yet “chicken in a bun” is £8? Absolute RIP OFF - 2 x rashers of bacon, sausage, egg, beans and chips - £15! There are lunch places in the city offering 2 x courses for this price. I suggest things are proof read and reality checked in the future…

I really like the Inversnecky cafe and it’s usually really good but today we went for a coffee and while we were sat outside some drug addict was walking about the beach area hassling people including us while we sat outside trying to enjoy our coffee. Staff had seen what he was doing but ignored it. For me whether we are outside or inside your cafe if you see customers being harassed it is your responsibility to deal with it and look after your customers. Don’t just shake your head at him and ignore it. We felt on edge the entire time we were sat there as he walked in between the tables shouting and swearing. I feel it could have been dealt with better. Needless to say we did not enjoy our coffee and left quickly to get away from this menace.

The Inversnecky is part of Aberdeen's history and landscape! It is a traditional caff with variations on a full breakfast, including a veggie option. Sandwiches, filled croissants, bacon rolls, jacket potatoes, sundaes. I always have beans on toast which has grilled tomato with it - simple but affa fine! Service is slways good and the view out to sea is beautiful what ever the weather - if it is good though sitting outside with the odd friendly starling is a delight. You can often see dolphins too. I really like the coffee, not too strong but a good flavour. They have milk alternatives. Only gripe would be a lack of vegan options. Easy to stock frozen sausages etc or if they could get deliveries from the Vegan Bay Baker for pastries, croissants and cakes etc I'd be there all the time! (Worth considering as most groups have a vegan amongst them these days) An absolute must do in Aberdeen.

Disappointed. Asked if the vegetarian burger could be veganised to which I was told it could be, however, it would be cooked on the same griddle as the meat. The chips are also cooked with meat products. I appreciate the honestly but would have hoped that there would have been more vegan options offered. Myself and 2 friends left and found another vegan friendly cafe instead.

Best place for our regular weekend breakfast. Now lovingly referred to as the Sneckie Brekkie club!! Good selection of menu and excellent service.

Cracking cappuccino and a bacon roll. Looking out on a wonderful view of a sail boat.

Great breakfast for hubby and I after walk along beach.

Excellent service and food was freshly cooked, milk shake was tasty and no unnecessary colouring agent.. Will be back soon.

We stopped by the Inversnecky for a quick fish tea a couple of days ago - in need of help and advice as well as food! The lovely staff folks went above and beyond, helping us charge our phone, feeding us quick, and even fixing us up with a taxi to make our train in time. And our fish tea was lovely also! A great experience courtesy of some absolute diamonds - thanks folks!!😀👍👏👏👏

Enjoyed my breakfast.. Not very flexible..Asked to change my tomato for beans.. Was told unfortunately cannot do this so beans will be a extra at £1.50. Not a big deal really.Went for small breakfast..And added beans in minus tonato.They lost a few pounds on my original order.. But other than this enjoyed my visit.

Was going to have the vegetarian breakfast before realising it was the same price as the "special". Only difference was that there was no meat on the vegetarian option, obviously, and one extra egg. And yet it was the same price as the "special" which had sausage and bacon. So why the same price? Rip-off for us carrot munchers. Oh, and my wife said the sausages were rank rotten. Don't go.

Had the “special” for breakfast was luke warm and overpriced - coffee was wishwashy - friend had the veggie breakfast again luke warm- wont be back

Wanted poached egg on toast told no scrambled? No just fried dissapointed serv8ce terrible food dumped on table with no effort & thought cutlery was just chucked down milk jug over fill so stuck to plastic table cloth havnt been for a while deffently gone down hill .

Lovely coffees carrot cake and scone with jam but £19.75 rather expensive price spoilt a lovely morning

I first came here in 1986. Hard to believe that's 37 years ago. Here again today. I think the only thing that's changed are the table cloths and the staff! I think also they may have new chairs! But as always, fab coffee and delicious food. An Aberdeen institution and I hope it doesn't suffer too much with the proliferation of beach fast food vans....

This is a great seaside cafe on Aberdeen beach front. Great food, reasonably priced. I have been going there since I was a child and would always choose this cafe over the others around .

Grear wee cafe and restuarant.i meet friends and right beside the beach front.

Great place by the beach, friendly staff

Had a coffee and cake, sat outside and watched the world Friendly staff and nice strong coffee ☕️

Nice friendly place, great breakfast and awesome views

The "Special" breakfast is anything but, £9.95 gets you 1 sausage, 1 egg, 1 hash brown,, 2 bacon, 1/2 a tomato, and a bit of toast. Disappointed to say the least.

Not worth the money. Sub standard food for a very high price. Cowboy breakfast is a joke. Join the line at the café to the right hand side, don't know what it's called. Save your money Go somewhere else.

Expensive for what you get 2 bacon egg rolls with 1 slice of bacon 2 teas £ 15

Had breakfast here yesterday on a sunny but cold morning. We arrived and were seated quickly at the window. The waiter was very good and extremely friendly. We both ordered fried egg on toast. We were both satisfied with what we had.

Very well cooked but the cowboy breakfast would not fill a cowboys belly , it would be better if you got 2 of everything instead of 1 apart from the toast and the bacon 🥓

A nice cafe with good local food. The ice cream looks great!

Really nice vegetarian breakfast though you have to pay extra for the mushrooms, hot chocolate was lovely but was pricy for the amount of hot chocolate you got.

We had a delightful breakfast. All the food was fresh and delicious. Prices were similar to all the cafes around the beach area. Staff were lovely and helpful. An already great experience.

Went here for lunch ...both had tomato soup which was completely tasteless was like they'd used tins of tomatoes and nothing else...very bland ...I had to add sugar from the packet on the table ..we also had a hot chocolate and a tea ...total bill £18.70 !!!! Unbelievable ...wont be back

Great cafe to have a cup or a meal very nice staff you should go to it for afternoon tea or coffee the the cafe has bean there for many years.

We stopten hier voor een lunch. Het restaurant ziet er erg Engels uit. Het personeel doet z'n werk netjes. We bestelden fish en chips. Het was goed klaar gemaakt, niet vet dus. Alleen jammer dat het niet vers gepaneerde en gebakken vis was, dat zou je toch verwachten aan het strand. Maar dat mag je misschien ook niet verwachten met hun lage prijzen. Helaas hadden ze er geen bier bij, omdat ze geen vergunning hebben. Het werd dus een colaatje.

Excellent lunch, home made soup with great service. Would certainly go back😋

Beautiful setting, great coffee, staff were friendly and helpful. Just what you want as a weekend treat!

Deluxe hot chocolate is fantastic

Lovely little place for light lunch Friendly staff

Nice unspoilt cafe on Aberdeen prom. Good, friendly service. Clean, retro ambiance.

Friendly enough staff but the breakfast was a bit lacking in quantity for the price.

Very friendly atmosphere but not worth the money

Good food polite and quick service

Good food, service and prices......a very friendly place, altogether excellent

Asked if they had a table for 5 just had an answer no, not sorry not at the moment, manners don't cost anything

A good beach-front cafe with no frills. I love it! Just the place to pop in and get a hot cup of tea, a bacon & egg breakfast & a warm up after a bracing walk along the sands (not just breakfast, lunches too)

Visited in the morning and had the bacon, egg, tomato and toast. Plate was too small when it arrived, dropped my toast. Was charged individually for two small pots of tea. One pot of tea arrived so we asked for another pot as we didn’t think the one pot would be enough for two cups, we were charged separately for the 2 small pots, all in all quite expensive for what we got. Won’t be returning.

Walked past The Inversnecky, and decided to stop in for some scampi and a burger. A warm welcoming staff, quick service, and a good honest lunch for the price. Being able to sit outside looking out over the North Sea, and watching life go by was a bonus. The inside is not the most welcoming, with tables close together, but seated outside - a wonderful meal !

I've been coming here infrequently for some 30 years now. Back in the day the breakfasts were the perfect hangover cure, nowadays the cakes and ice cream are just the ticket for hungry children. Great service when we visited today.

2 of us wanted a snowball ice -they don't do them we asked for an oyster but you can't eat them or cones or crisps inside however the girl asked if it would be OK and yes they could do that for us however I couldn't get my teeth through the stale oyster and the supposed bit of marshmallow nearly dented my spoon. To crown it all I was charged £10 for these 2 disastrous excuses for oysters. We won't be back!!!!

Had a Cowboy Breakfast which was very nice even though as I was seated outside a massive seagull swooped and stole a rasher of Bacon from my plate . The manager was fantastic and offered a replacement breakfast. The staff are well presented and as nice as ninepence, All in all, A great wee cafe on the boulevard to take in the views and have some tasty food. I liked the way the menus offered different fry ups ,like just eggs and bacon or eggs and sausages etc. 👍🌞

Brilliant chicken, brilliant location, brilliant chocolate muffin, brilliant cafe.

We had meant to eat at another cafe just along the prom but it was closed so went to Inversnecky. The food was very nice however the prices were not, and there was very little option for my son who is a vegan - he ended up having baked potato with beans which was £9 - hard to believe but there it was - a potato and a helping of beans £9!! I had egg on toast with a side of beans which cost me nearly £6 and only 1 egg!! add two small coffees for £7. For this reason we won't be back I'm afraid we felt well and truly ripped off

Been a while since a visit here and things have changed.The prices for a start ,£9.00 for a Special breakfast that's not that special as it's missing beans, black pudding, mushrooms all available at extra cost at £1.60 a pop. You used to get a half tomato but all you get now is a wedge of tomato.The sausage has changed too, barely edible and very chewy. £3.80 for a Large cappuccino actually just a standard mug of coffee. £5.00 for beans on toast £5 !!. Sorry I know with covid, lockdowns,price increases things have changed but I doubt I will be back here again.

been many years sinceive been to this cafe, i was a little surprised at the prices of the food but happy enough with the portions, basically msde it good value for money. what made the visit fron good to great, was someone playing some sort of grungey/soft rock playlist and then went onto play some songs by a little known band from.the US that i love called blue october. Instantly recognized it and was very happy, -as its not musuc that cery well known here!

If you are looking for great food then look no further than this place, located right on Aberdeen beach it makes a great location for a bite to eat whilst enjoying the fresh air or visiting the carnivals. They have a wide variety of everything and anything from burgers, chicken to hot dogs and sausage/bacon rolls, the staff are really friendly and down to earth willing to go the extra mile. They are available to sit in or takeaway and also offer ice cream in case of that summers day! I had the sausage, bacon roll with cheese in it, and the girlfriend had the tuna sandwich with lentil soup. Both tasted fantastic and definitely filled us up, it is a little pricey but still maintains great quality of food and in no time at all. Definitely the best on Aberdeen seafront!

We've been regular visitors here since they reopened. Great value and service. They have now had a ramp fitted on the door so the cafe is no easier to access with strollers and wheelchairs.

We like to support local business. They've been around for a while and never disappoint. It looked like a hard working team.

Catch up with a pal. Pot if tea and heated croissant for me. What more could you ask for.

Helpful, friendly staff and very good food.

As always the food was good, hot and not too fancy. The coffee was just right and also hot. OK, the seating is a bit basic, but it is a beach cafe not a five star restaurant, and it fills its function perfectly. The only area I have criticism with is the toilet. For disabled people it is a nightmare. Considering it is over 25 years since the DDA you would think everywhere would be upgraded by now.

The egg Mayo sandwich is very tasty. Tables are cleaned down regular

Staff are lovely, hot chocolate and scones were nice, quite expensive however!

Management and staff are polite and friendly, menu is a bit restricted but the prices and food are both really good. I was impressed by their adherence to Covid safety procedures. Hand sanitisers on every table, staff all wearing masks and plenty cleaning going on in the background. Tables are reasonably spaced too. Been a couple of times now and will return.

Great place for a relaxing cuppa and cake. Lovely staff.

Love this restaurant, great service and Tuna salad is amazing

Had a great traditional breakfast today. Quick service, well prepared food. Good menu for other meals as well. Plenty of hand sanitiser available and a nice clean toilet.

Excellent breakfast. Friendly staff. Good value for money.

Great breakfast and lovely staff

Great food and big portions. The ice cream sundaes were amazing

Amazing service and excellent food. Great value for money.

Food was not cheap. Staff were not very helpful. the coffee was bland. And my water had a floater in it.

Liked the cafe , enjoyed the coffee and the ice-cream found the ice-cream servings small for the money charged

Got a couple of sundaes and juice here, best sundaes I've had since I don't know when. :) Definetly would come back and try some more of their food.

Very over priced for everything breakfast rolls were very dry and didn't taste very nice at all and we definitely won't be back

Tasty food and friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

Good all day breakfast. Friendly staff

Good food welcoming staff and great value.

Wasn't great value for money. Didn't get much for the breakfast and had to pay extra for coffee on top of breakfast. Came highly recommended but sadly will not return.

Great little cafe for a snack or a meal good service

First visit back after years and years, pleased to say the BBQ burger is a good as ever and the milkshakes just as delicious.

Prefer the Pavillion, but this cafe nice as well.

Yes very good the kids liked it to.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

This restaurant is on the "beach" north of Aberdeen, with lots of free car parking along the road outside. The staff are friendly, the prices reasonable and the food great, hot and plenty of it.

Lovely place good food and well run.

Lovely fresh food great service Would highly recommend

Baguette was stuffed with filling. Nice side salad too. Pot of berry tea was hot and tasty. Offered iced water too. Friendly and accept dogs outside, providing fresh water. Just beware of the gulls, who also like the food!!

Nice coffee clean polite and reasonably quick service

Absolutely amazing staff good service and portions are great no faults and there is something everyone would like and happy if you don't want something I had fish and they were happy to take the Culshaw out 5

Always get good service and good food. Highly recommended.

Place has gone downhill Think sausages were deep fried Bacon and egg was cold egg was half cooked Used to have a great breakfast there and we went specially for the sausages Really disappointed
