Old Mart Cafe in Aberdeenshire

I don't normally write reviews but felt I had to after a visit to this little gem . Set in the pretty village of Maud the cafe sits right in the middle of the village where there is lots of parking and a small play area that my kids just loved !It was a lovely day and we had our dog with us so we sat outside . The staff were lovely even getting water for our dog, I can only eat gluten free and the selection of food on offer to accommodate me was great (something I don't always find in other cafes!) We were all impressed with the size of the plates of food and all so tasty. My husband particularly loved the homemade coleslaw ! Just had to say thank you for a great experience we will definitely be back .

Lots of items on menu not available and really slow service. This place used to be really good and always somewhere good to go but this time really not up to scratch a real shame.

Had lunch there today. I am a veggie myself so I had a coffee with a cheese and tomato panini with a side salad. It was a refreshing sight to not see burgers on the menu, to be honest. The food looked like it was cooked to order as well (bar the soup). Would I go again? Yep when I go past Maud.

The food isn't fancy but it is done well. Sandwiches, home made soups and cakes. Nice atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable.

After a long walk on the Formartine and Buchan Way on a dreich day we stopped for luch here. Excellent food, service and value. Also the best Covid precautions I've ever seen. Well done to all.

Been in this Cafe just a handful of times when out cycling. Good honest food. Emaculate premises. Friendly staff. Well worth a detour if you are visiting Aberdeenshire.

Very good food freshly prepared on site. Options for little people on menu. Welcoming staff and realistic pricing.

Good food, staff friendly & hot coffee. Only thing I have to moan about, bloody cold in there, they’ve just got 3 or 4 electric convector heats in there, it’s not enough, if you want to warm yourself up, go into the toilets, there clean & lovely & warm.

Only had coffee, which I'm particular about and it was good and an egg roll. Friendly service, good value for money and very pleasant facilities in a small village. Immaculate and a delight to come across.

Often stop here for lunch never disappointed not a huge menu but always something tasty. Friendly helpful staff, very clean.

Popped in for a coffee on a very bleak Winter's morning. Not sure it would be open but we were warmly welcomed and a full menu was on offer including special lunch options. We opted for a scone with jam and clotted cream - delicious and very fresh. our bill came to just under £7, which was well worth it. the actual café was spotless and had toys to entertain little ones. Definitely worth popping in past.

Went to the old mart cafe for a very enjoyable lunch. I had a plate of there lentil soup and a sweet chilli chicken panini. The soup was really tasty and you could tell it was home made. The panini had plenty of filling and came will salad and crisps. The cafe is a well worth a visit and the staff were very friendly.

The Old Mart Cafe is an excellent little cafe that provides really good quality food and really good service. The lentil soup was delicious and I asked for a panni that was not on the board and they were more than happy to make it for me.

Spotted the signs in the village on my way through. A little difficult to find if you don't know the area. Simple pleasant cafe, friendly staff, enjoyable cream tea!

Lovely cafe. Good food and friendly staff. Willing to accommodate your needs and requirements. Perfect for takeaways.

We came upon this cafe while out at Maud visiting the excellent Longleys country store and needed a bite to eat, What a find, the food is first class and sandwiches made for you as you wait, so that you can have your preference, and you can get half portions too, The cafe although not very big is homely and very clean and the staff friendly, They do hot food too and also home bakes which are also very good. We enjoy the food enough to go out there even though we do not need the farm store but just want a nice lunch. Try it you will be impressed

I took my toddler here for lunch after an appointment. Lovely food and friendly local staff. They serve a mixture of hot and cold lunches/snacks to suit all tastes.

Un buen lugar para parar para una comida ligera, fabulosas opciones en el menú (demasiados para mí para elegir!) y relación calidad-precio es muy buena. Sin duda se aparece en otra vez, buen ambiente y el personal era muy amable.

What a gem to find in a small community. A great little cafe with a varied menu of fine local produce. The portions are ample, the food delicious and the home bakes simply wonderful. We had soup and sandwiches at lunch time on a Saurday and the atmosphere was friendly and the service fast and with a smile. My son had a kids lunchbox and the kids menu had a fine choice. Cake, shortbread and tea was also enjoyed and I would highly recommend this for a super lunch or just a fly cup with friends, all at a great price.

This is a great wee place for lunch. They have a extensive menu choose. The food is always very tasty and reasnably priced. They also have a good choice for kids.

Every visit is as wonderful as the last. Gorgeous, fresh, delicious food. Superb service. Wonderful selection of drinks. The premises are spotless. We all love going there!

What a great menu for a small cafe. Good food, toastie with a wide choice of fillings quickly served, satisfying snack for a hungry teuchter. Do children lunch boxes. Staff pleased to serve you.

Visited this place on Tuesday what a nice wee place the menu had a great choice and the price was very reasonable looks like a popular place too come to really busy will be back staff very friendly

Exactly what you would hope to find for lunch or a snack in a small community. Clean, good service and adequate menu. Bill very reasonable. When we arrived the room was busy feeding local children. We were a party of 10 but were soon seated and served quite quickly. Food (hot and cold) was good with generous portions and the soup excellent. Recommended

Visited last Friday lunchtime - lovely homely food - had run out of the excellent Cullen Skink but pacified with "tattie" soup, delicious. Rice pudding also very,very tasty. Staff really cheerful and welcoming. Would definitely recommend.

after a walk up the old railway track with our dogs it's a very friendly welcome from the lovely staff who even remember our order of scones and coffee from our last visit. As we sit enjoying our treat the lovely aromas coming from the kitchen make our mouths water. lunch will have to be sampled very soon.

I highly recommend their double shot Americanos, their crispy bacon rolls and the home-made scones. If they have Cullen Skink on at lunchtime get there early - it goes fast! Happy, helpful and smiling staff make it a place worth visiting. What would I add to make it even better? Some more easy chairs perhaps and reinstate the wifi would be perfect - just don't change the staff!My favourite coffee houseFrom an anonymous coffee drinker ;-)
