Very rude and unfriendly staff, I don't appreciate as a delivery rider being spoken to like I'm stupid. I was told an order would be 3 mins, after 6 mins, I went up to ask how long will it be? And I was told "if you're not happy, get out, leave!" I never said I wasn't happy, I simply asked how long the order would be. After trying to explain I was shut down by 2 members of staff and then who I think was the manager came and shouted at me further and told me to never come back. I will never be back as a customer or as delivery rider. Worst customer service ever.

I tried the Frank Cerabino bagel while my girlfriend ordered herself a smoked salmon bagel. All the bagel sandwiches we tasted were average. The bagel itself was soft and tasty and the toppings were okay as well. Additionally, i think the prices were a bit steep. The bagel’s were ranging from £6 to £9 and who wants to pay that much for a little sandwich. One bagel sandwich didn’t even filled me so i had to get another one. So imagine going out to get breakfast and you have to pay around £20 with drinks just to feel full. I think it doesn’t makes sense but its just my opinion.

Great place! But for being in such a prime location on Union street why do you close at 3pm when most coffee shops are open till early evening? I start work before you open and you’re closed when I finish work so don’t get a chance to visit.

We went for breakfast … then came back for lunch! We had a haggis and hash brown bagel (don’t judge until you’ve tried it - insane!) and pancakes with bacon and syrup - words can not describe the taste sensation! Came back for chicken soup and Katsu bagel. Katsu was ok - should have gone for minute steak instead. Soup was totally amazing and really brightened my dreary winters day. Service was friendly and super quick. Well worth a visit!!!

Great concept, unfortunately let down in several ways. To begin, service was poor- no interaction or guidance on finding seats. Coffee is always subjective- my Americano was distinctly average, my wife really enjoyed her Latte. Bagel fillings were picked were great but the way my roll had been heated left mine dry and it lacked the chewiness of a good bagel; in contrast my wife’s bagel was, in her words “squishy” . The menu has some imaginative fillings yet could be easily strengthened by a few simpler ones and more variety, especially of vegetarian and salad fillings. On a final note, some easily accessible cutlery or wet wipes would also have been helpful…

First time here - was a very enjoyable & tasty lunch time experience. Would advise you to look thoroughly at the menu before you order - there's so much choice. Bagels were so soft & tasty. Opted for a set bagel & one with own filling choice - they offered to warm/toast this - was really tasty. Definitely recommend this for place for a stop & refuel

Finally got a chance to have lunch here! Impressed by the large number of American sodas (Hello Cherry Dr. Pepper Zero!) and a wide variety of bagels. I had the Jenny from the Bronx and my husband had the Badabing bagel, both of which we enjoyed immensely. Both were amazing but I feel I need to figure out a more ladylike way of eating these as they were packed full of the various fillings. Maybe supply me with a bib next time haha.

I came here on Thursday around 12:30. The service was first class, and the server could not have been more delightful. The food was excellent. I went for a bagel with sausage and haggis filling which was delicious and seemed to be freshly made. It tasted great and was good value at £3.50. The place was clean and tidy, and it has a great location in the heart of the city centre. I will definitely come back again soon for another visit.

Myself & my Girlfriend have been wanting to try So Bagels since they first opened in Aberdeen. They are located in the heart of Aberdeen so it makes a great place for breakfast, lunch or a snack and is great for sitting in or taking away. If you love bagels, this is the best whether you want to create your own or go with the menu, the staff will go above & beyond to help. We both ordered the "Saratago Clubhouse" which is turkey, ham, bacon, tomato, egg, mayo & lettuce, but we asked for some cheese as an extra but unfortunately when it came out there was no cheese and my girlfriends bagel wasnt toasted at all. I took the bagels back and the manager was happy to sort it out for us, all in all the bagel was delicious, best I have ever tasted! Plenty of seating available, bright & clean environment and the prices are great. They also offer pizza, hashbrown bites and a full range of normal & american drinks, maybe if they could encorporate fries/chips too that would be a great extra. Will definietly be back soon!

The assistant that served us was very pleasant which was helpful. Would certainly recommend and will be back next time in Aberdeen.

This place is excellent. It's situated on the corner between Soul (the bar) and the Music Hall (on the other side). The staff are sound. The food is always fresh. I especially rate their sandwiches and the pulled chicken broth soup. They do a nice coffee/latte as well. There is always plenty of seats either at the back behind the serving area or beside the windows facing onto Union Street. The prices are good value for money. There is free Wi-Fi. There is usually decent tunes playing in the background. Overall I would highly recommend this place to folk looking for a nice wee spot of lunch in Aberdeen city centre.

SooShee ahora se ha abierto como un restaurante permanente en Union Grove y es una adición bienvenida a la escena de West End Easting out. El restaurante hábilmente decorado puede llevar alrededor de 30 tapas, pero es recomendable reservar. Estuvimos allí un lunes por la noche y estaba bastante ocupado. hay una gran variedad de sushi, deliciosos platos frescos, suculentos yakitori de pollo y un excelente ramen de mariscos. El servicio fue eficiente y atento. El único inconveniente que pensé fue el menú de bebidas. El único vino blanco que se ofreció fue un SB neozelandés con un precio de 28. La gerencia podría dar una pequeña propina en el camino hacia la Cooperativa y comprar una botella respetable por 9, marcarla en un 100 por ciento y aumentar la elección y la absorción de las bebidas que se ofrecen.

Uno de los pocos lugares que abren temprano (9) para el desayuno un domingo. Así que llegamos como se abrieron. Tienen yogures y granola, croissants, sándwiches, etc. además de ollas calientes para el desayuno. Ambos optamos por este último: un haggis y un vegetariano. Mi esposo estaba bastante contento con su olla haggis, pero luché por terminar la mía. Los huevos revueltos estaban húmedos y sin sabor, los champiñones esponjosos y luego había algunas hojas verdes junto con un rosti de papa húmedo. ¡Muy decepcionante! La camarera fue amable y la comida llegó rápidamente, pero nunca volveré allí para una olla de desayuno.

I visited today with my partner. I was excited as I had heard good things about the place and the menu looked great. Ordered a Coronation Chicken Baguette and parter ordered a great scott. Food arrived promptly however one bite into my pale baguette I could barely taste any chicken. Opened it up to find hardly any inside one half and a tonne in the other. Im not one to normally have a moan but paying £4 for a baguette I expected slighlty more. Showed one of the staff members who looked at me like I was an idiot. Told me that there was chicken there and I just couldnt see it and thats how there chefs made it. She offered to do nothing about it and I ended up only being able to eat 1 half of my lunch.

Went twice in a week having driven past daily for ages and always fancied trying it. On both occasions I had baked potato with coronation chicken filling. On the first visit the potato was either or both of very old or very overdone and the inside was more like mashed potato. The coronation chicken was, however, plentiful and good quality so I decided to give the place a second chance. On the second visit the potato was even worse - actually tasted burnt and some of the skin was inedible - plus this time the filling was dry, tasteless and about half the amount of the first visit. It was terrible. On both visits the service was brusque, unengaging and unfriendly. On the second occasion I asked for ice for my £1.20 can of coke which was warm. I was instead directed to the back of the fridge for a can that was slightly less warm. The request for ice was just plain ignored. For an operation that appears to pride itself on its local connections, it seems rather disconnected from a traditional Aberdeenshire welcome and food quality. I might go back one day - but definitely not in a hurry.

Looking for somewhere to have breakfast/brunch on Union Street in Aberdeen and came across So cafe and saw, through the large windows, a couple eating a delicious looking bacon bap. We ventured inside & ordered coffee & streaky smoked bacon baps with brown sauce. In no time we had a delicious mug of coffee & bap. They were both delicious, the only criticism being that there was far too much brown sauce, in fact it was dripping out. It would be preferable to let customers put their own condiments on. Other than that small criticism, we enjoyed our visit.

Regulary buy lunch time sandwiches from here. Today (possibly a new member of staff) rang up the wrong item on the till and attempted to over charge me. Pointed this out to her and no apology. Handed her a £10 note and she chucked the change on the counter for me to pick up. No thanks or bye so unacceptable behaviour imho.No real problems with the food quality although they dont put labels on their sandwiches. They started a new all day breakfast sandwich recently which I bought and took back to the office. When I opened it, it has ketchup through it which I cannot eat so had to chuck it. Would be better therefore if there were labels telling you exactly whats in them

Great to see a local alternative to the chains. Been in So... Many times. Food is always good, but sometimes portions can be a bit mean for the price. In yesterday and every thing we asked for was unavailable. I eventually had to ask what WAS available - only two items! And, the server was rude and abrupt about it as if we had inconvenienced her by coming in and choosing the items that were sold out! Went for the Cuban sandwich which was extremely tasty, the coffee was great, as it always is in So... We shared a tiffin which was delish and more than enough for two people.

Hi. I just had my first experience of So... Aberdeen - a chicken katsy curry baked potato with cheese. Whilst it was tasty (thumbs up), the portion size and filling was ridiculous, and I use the work filling generously, as there really was only a small spoonful of the chicken katsy curry and light sprinkling of cheese. All for the pricely sum of £6.50. Perhaps to add to my disappointment was that this meal was so highly recommended by my friend. Maybe next time, if there is a next time, I will be luckier. Don't know if the fact we got take away makes any difference???? Still hungry!

I popped in yesterday for a quick takeaway lunch and opted for a baked potato with cheese and coleslaw after hearing good things.The staff and service was great, cant fault it.The food however, was terrible. I can only surmise the baked potato had been sitting for several hours - the base was rock hard and dry as. The coleslaw was very watery and there was so little cheese, it was hard to spot!Had I been eating in, I would have sent it back.

Pop in for a Latte mid morning. Nice place easy to get served and find a seat. Good choices if having more than a coffee

I sat in for the first time at this cafe and have come away feeling pretty disappointed.I have been here a few times for a take-away lunch and have always been pleased with the service and food. This time I decided to sit in with my brother. I had a baked potato and he had ordered a Spanish omelette. When the food arrived at the table, I was very disappointed to say the least.The baked potato was massive with plenty filling, however, my brothers Spanish omelette was just a tiny slice (almost resembling a small tray bake sized item)!!!I felt really bad for suggesting that cafe and had to offer him some of my baked potatoWill not be eating here again as it is massively overpriced and they have got their portion sizes all wrong!

Visited here a couple of times, more recently on the way to a meeting in town . Lovely breakfast on offer and a good cup of tea ! Reasonable selection of cakes ... Nice decor .... Only negative is cutlery , when sitting in and eating I would prefer 'proper' knives and forks rather than wooden 'takeaway' - but a minor point which could easily be rectified.

What a lovely coffee shop open from breakfast right through to mid afternoon. A wide selection of snacks sandwiches and savouries are available in fantastic premises with plenty of tables and chairs . Classy with competitive prices too.

Stopped in for breakfast mid week, albeit nearer 11ish. Limited selection of breakfast items still available by then which was disappointing. Selected a bacon roll which was very nice, lots of bacon and it was crispy. Service was a little cold as staff were distracted preparing the lunch offering. We were given plastic cutlery which was unexpected. The seating area is a little small for the size of the place. Good bacon roll so I'd go back for that if nothing else.

We stayed in Aberdeen for 3 nights and went in for lunch as it seemed busy and very modern, and that was probably the best decision made while we stayed in Aberdeen! (We came from Sweden for a business trip). Nice big windows with a great view! The menu boards looked a little bit confusing but everything was explained by cheerful and very helpful waiter (didn't get his name, badge names would be ideal?) He offered us a small sample of food, even though it was quite busy, he made sure we were satisfied, before we ordered, which was very lovely. Everything was brought to the table by one of the most smiley and positive waitresses we have came across in Scotland (Pauline, Poline)! We asked her about different places to go to for drinks after our meal as she seemed very outgoing and she was more than happy to answer all of our questions. Just after serving us, we watched her cleaning 4 tables on one go on her way back to the counter, still smiling away, which was rather impressive! We ended up in some great places (Soul Bar, which was just across the street) thankfully to her recommendations! As we were leaving, the same waiter who advised us with food choice, waved at us saying goodbye! We could go on and on! Overall, very friendly atmosphere with great food! A place to go!

First visit to Aberdeen and was looking for a light lunch. So looks very attractive and seemed busy so went in. Self service was a bit chaotic and didn't feel it was very clear how it all worked. Received a cold coffee, but this was dealt with promptly and efficiently so no complaints there. Food was OK.

I've been here several times now and it gets better each time! My favourites are the Cajun Steak Flatbread and a Toasty on glass bread with tuna, cheese and sweet chilli sauce recommended by the manager Barry. The peanut butter blondie is also great and I could list the rest of my favourites but we'd be here all day! The place has a really great atmosphere and style and the service is always super speedy and cheery whenever I've been in. Would highly recommend you to try it out if you haven't been before!

First visit and we were impressed. Very helpful waitress offered me a sample of some soup before placing our order. Ordered soup and Mac cheese which were both really tasty. Teas were served in generous sized tea pots. Nice selection of cakes and bakes.

Heading back to the car park, we decided to stop for a coffee. You order at the counter and the staff are very friendly. We opted for a bacon & sausage roll and a ham & cheese croissant. We were invited to take a seat along with a food number and told everything would be brought to the table. Sure enough, all arrived very promptly with more smiles and interest if we had everything we needed. Food was hot and delicious and a lovely pot of tea was perfect. We will definitely be back and will probably try one of the scrumptious looking lunch options.

A good place for an informal, light lunch. I had the frittata which was ok, but could have been served with a side salad to make it more of a meal. Order at the counter. Prices not too bad. Modern and light interior. Nice big windows, so you can sit there and watch the world go by in Union Street! My husband had the pulled pork bun which he quite enjoyed. And not to mention the very friendly and thoroughly enthusiastic waiter!

Having been here previously for a lunch meeting and being impressed with the food and the quality of service I decided to try a take away lunch. I have to admit that I found the menu quite daunting at first as it takes up the whole width of the shop and while stood in line I had to move around a lot to make my decision. My server was friendly and offered help in making my choices. I went for a Dahl soup and chicken/bacon wrap, this came to £7 on the nose. The take away packaging is very sturdy and of a high quality (something that other vendors should aspire to) and kept my food warm during my walk back to the office. The Dahl was delicious and the wrap was very good, it tasted like the chicken was freshly roasted. Win.

We were looking for some Christmas Cocktails and something different for a wee girly Christmas catch up in Aberdeen. We were keen to support somewhere independent and not fall into the usual chain restaurants within the city. Good old google turned up with The Lounge Bar & Kitchen and I’m pleased to say we were not disappointed. We received a very warm welcome. The cocktails hit the spot and went down a treat. We could have had 3 course Christmas menu with tea/coffee tablet and shortbread however we opted for the Scottish Tapas/Small Plates option. There were 3 of us and we shared 8 plates in total. Everything was cooked to perfection and delicious. We were well and truly stuffed with no room left to try the Sweet options so will have to have a return visit. On our visit a couple of the Vegetarian options were unavailable however as none of us were vegetarian this did not affect us. We’ll definitely be returning in the future.
