The Coffee House in Aberdeen City

Charming coffee spot! Great brews, cozy atmosphere, and friendly service. A perfect escape for coffee lovers.

Lovely place. Popped in with a friend for coffee and bacon rolls, tasty and good value for money. Staff really nice and quick service. Will return!

Looked and looked on trip advisor for a suitable cafe for a light lunch. We were a small group with some dietary requirements and this was a perfect choice. It was busy-ish but with some single individuals occupying large tables. The staff very politely asked if someone would move to a smaller table and we were in. Very good home baking, freshly made paninis and sandwiches. Sadly the soup of the day had run out but they were making more which wasn't ready - proving it was actually made there not out of a tin. And - the absolutely best mocha I have ever had. Decently chocolatey, very good coffee, nicely presented. Great food, lovely staff, great location. No hesitation recommending this place.

I had the best time here. I went for breakfast and had the jam and butter bagel. Really filled me up and set my day up for a good start. Then I loved it so much I came back for lunch and had the chicken and bacon sandwich. Again was great food and very filling. Everything else on the menu also looked great, the service was fantastic and the vibes in the cafe were so cute. Everyone seemed really happy to be there. I would reccomend this place for everyone whether a couple, families or groups of friends or just by yourself for a coffee. A must see if you're in Aberdeen.

This coffee shop feels like a family welcoming its members every day! 🌟 Thank you so much for the excellent service, prompt service and good price range for students!

I have visited the place many times but unfortunately after the change of management the place has never been the same. Looks just empty and poor. But thats not the reason for this review. The last visit I was absolutely appalled by the service and behaviour we received from the waiting staff and the manager/owner? We just went for a cup of coffe and a sandwich and didn't expect its gonna take long. After waiting for 20 minutes I've asked the lady what's taking so long and been told that they are busy and short staffed. Ok I understand but the place wasn't even packed and I noticed couple tables who showed up after we did, got served before us. The attitude of the server was also very unpleasant. After that the lady from management (or maybe the owner?) Came to our table being EXTREMELY OBNOXIOUS and basically telling us that we've ONLY waited for the coffe for 20 min so it wasn't that long (??!!) Still they both had time to come to our table to argue instead making the coffe. After expressing my dissatisfaction we've basically been told that if we don't like it we can just leave. At this point we just wanted to get out coffees already. The attitude of both ladies was unacceptable and will definitely not be back in this place . I do not reccomend!

Having visited a few times since my not so great review last year, I really like coming to this place again. Much improved ambience with lovely fairylights now and really good coffee, very tasty proper cakes and interesting light bites. Staff are friendly and it's not a chain. What's not to like!

Been to the Coffee House several times during recent visits into Aberdeen. Located on a side street off Belmont Street so easy to miss, but only a minute's walk from Union Street. Main positives - never crowded (good for customers, not so good for business!), great selection of cakes and dishes on the menu, friendly and quick service. Food is great - as is the coffee. Much better than the big name coffee chain cafes nearby. Definitely worth trying if you're in the area.

Delicious food, and coffee. Friendly, helpful staff. Wonderful cakes made on site. Get away from the many chain outlets in Aberdeen for much nicer fare1

A wee gem of a place, found when weary and left cheery. Fresh food, friendly service no frills but taste thrills. Check it out, you will not be disappointed.

Called in here on our final day and we found the staff very pleasant and the atmosphere very relaxed. Only thing with the cafe latte is it was way too hot and perhaps they need to get some training from the roasters how to combine the milk so the coffee doesn't float round the edges. Otherwise, the soup was delicious with lovely fresh bread.

Great food, great coffee, great service, good glutenfree selection, lots of great cakes and muffins. Good place for lunch!

Brilliant cafe, very friendly with good food and really welcoming to parents with prams. Best place on Belmont Street 🙂👍

After not having been to this cafe for some time, we decided to try it again - in the past it has been my husband’s favourite place for coffee. This time it was just OK. The two young people serving were very welcoming and friendly, but I was concerned that the guy did not have a mask, nor even a face shield, at any time. I understood this still to be a legal requirement in Scotland. The young lady who brought the food was properly masked. We had coffee and scones. The scones here used to be excellent but this time we felt they may well have been made the day before - they weren’t horrible, but they weren’t great either, and they are not especially cheap. So full marks to the female member of staff, half marks to the guy, but not many marks for the food I’m afraid.

I didn't realise this was a dog-friendly venue and that might have made a difference in my decision to eat there. I love dogs but 2 guests left their dogs to their own devices and they even roamed behind counter. I am sure if that had been toddlers comments would have been made. However, the dog owners didn't seem to think their 'babies' did anything wrong and found it funny even encouraging their dogs to beg at their table for food. Sorry I just don't think that is good hygiene. I had a lovely meal.and good value for money but I just don't want to eat where some dog owners don't control there dogs and think it's acceptable to let them wander and beg for food. Unfortunately that experience detracted from the lovelywal I had

We used to visit coffee house with friends on Saturday nights and week days as well before the lockdown and it was great. Unfortunately after our last visit a month ago we noticed that the coffee shop is completely different, unwelcoming and sad, nothing reminds...

Used to come here often before Covid but unfortunately the Coffee House is a pale shadow of its former self. Coffee is good, the cake is nice and staff are very friendly. However the room is freezing cold and generally looks drab and empty with...

We had coffee and cakes here on a Sunday afternoon. As frequent visitors before lockdown the place looked run down, drab and unwelcoming. Most of the tables were dirty with used crockery and the counter contained a sad selection of home bakes. The staff were...

We had a bit of a rocky start due to needing our dates changed but very quickly this was all sorted with booking.com and the property itself. We were provided with instruction due to a late check in and Michael was very helpful keeping us...

Stopped in for a coffee, sandwich and piece of cake whilst wandering round the city centre. Everything was freshly made and really nice, staff were lovely. Dog friendly too!

I was in Abeerdeen for my Erasmus 3 years ago (Im spanish) and I have this Coffee Shop as one of my best memories of my experience there. I used to go there with my erasmus friends to spend the afternoon catching up about the...

Poor selection of cakes. Had to queue for 25 minutes for a double espresso and cappuccino. Every free table full of used cups Wouldn’t go back.

I was in there earlier today. Ive been waiting for ages to be served due to elder woman who I believe is the owner shouting and swearing aggressively in the kitchen. I've heard rumours about this before. Eventually I was served by unpleasnt middle age...

Visited The Coffee House in Summer and had a less than pleasant experience, food was good but took ages to arrive and drinks were cold by then. Thought I would give it another shot, visited a week ago, we ordered the mushroom soup and a...

This is our default place for coffee and a sandwich - the coffee is good and the cakes are usually excellent. In two visits in the last week I first noticed my goats cheese sandwich( which I have had for years ) has disappeared and...

I love this place, unequivocally my favourite cafe in Aberdeen, I've been coming here since my first year of university. The coffee is the best in the city, and the atmosphere is cozy and friendly. The staff are the most welcoming, and there is always...

Coffee House is an awesome place to chill with friends! Visiting tonight for their bubble tea event and the staff are all lovely and helpful. They almost always have events happening, and the homecooked food is great.

I visit the coffee house regularly as I attend their evening Zumba and meditation classes. These are great, Tanya (zumba) is full of energy and her class is so much fun! Never disappoints :) Lavinia's meditation classes are so relaxing! I have even fallen asleep...

I'm a regular customer at the coffee house. Great coffee and lovely relaxing atmosphere. There is also live music on at evenings at the weekends, which is usually talented up-and-coming artists.

Wasn't a great fan of this cafe when I first moved to Aberdeen, had dry cakes and only a couple of veggie options, but decided to give it another shot! Loved the bistro food! I had the vegetarian moussaka and was not disappointed. Their coffee...

First off, half the menu was not available, it took 35 minutes to make two cheese toastie, the coffee was more like warm milk, and I had to ask for my soup to be reheated, as it was luke warm at best!!! The soup came...

Asked what was inside the Greek pie, I was told cheese and veggies and that it is vegetarian, when I got it there was ham in it!!!! How shocking. I am not vegetarian but I still believe this is absolutely unacceptable. Also you can see...

I waited for about 10 minutes in the queue, but you honestly couldn’t fault the guy working behind the counter. He was fast, kept his cool and prepared GREAT coffee. Very reasonably priced, lovely seats and fantastic vibe to the place.

Service exceptionally slow Half menu was not available Waited over half an hour for soup, then were told the soup we had ordered had run out.

Coffee was passable but the Romanian Chocolate Cake was drier than the desert. When I mentioned this to one of the assistants the reply was “really?” Couldn’t be less interested in customer care / satisfaction if he tried! Used to be a great place but...

I really liked going to the coffee house as the soup is usually tasty and the coffee is good. However after my two most recent visits, I’ve realised how noisy and cramped it is. The last time in June, we ordered two different soups and...

Went here for a quick lunch didn’t happen service slow when I complained to the Manager he couldn’t have cared and was very arrogant and near enough told me if I wasn’t happy I knew where the door was!!! Avoid this place

I stayed in of the rooms in above the restaurant and it was very good. Big room, shelves etc, excellent en suite, very clean and welcoming. Pity it didn't include breakfast though.

This is a lovely coffee shop, really nice food, lots of choice, good coffee, but is really let down by the toilets, which are filthy! They have not been cleaned in a very long time, badly stained walls, filthy skirting boards, sticky floors etc completely...

This is s terrific spot to grab a coffee, a sandwich, or some tasty treats. Ambience is soothing and eclectic. A real treat to stop in and take a break.

Coffee house is usually my go to for its cake and coffee. However I ordered a soup and sandwich today with a cappuccino, which was pretty pricey. I think in hindsight I was overcharged. But regardless, when my sandwich arrived it was basic brown soggy...

Stayed for daughters graduation with family. Rooms were excellent large comfy bed very modern. Location is superb in the moddle of town close to everything thoroughly recommend.

Coffee and sandwiches very nice, however didn’t find the staff particularly friendly and the toilets were filthy. Definitely in need of a good clean everywhere and a lick of paint in the ladies (assuming the men’s will be the same). A real put off.

Hi I recently visited your local place and I was very disappointed as I purchased soup normally it comes with lovely bread but this time I got one slice of cheapest toast which you can purchase from Asda for 80 p so disappointed as price...

Totally transformed since my last visit, the coffee house now has a menu with choice to suit all tastes. Sandwiches are fresh made and contain a range of fillings with interesting additions. Tea is served in pots and the coffee is really Good. Seating is...

I queued for 30 minutes for a cup of coffee. I I had not been meeting friends, I would have gone somewhere with table service. The service is a joke.

We went here for dinner as a last resort as everywhere else was too busy. I ordered the steak pie and salad for £6.95. I was quite surprised when the waiter gave me a plate of salad within a small steak pie plonked on top...

Really nice atmosphere and food was great. When I visited the service was a bit slow but all in all well worth a visit. Much nicer than going to big well known chains and it is right in the heart of the city.

Visited a couple of weeks ago with a friend and called in here for a quick lunch. Server was lovely (female, glasses, perhaps American?) and was obviously doing as much as she could however place was - in my opinion - understaffed. It is really...

Visited this place today on a recommendation and sadly it was awful! Today we went in for some homemade soup. We ordered two bowls of tomato soup at which when placed on the table by the waiter, he informed us, they may well be cold!!!!!...

The coffee house is not the easyist place to find as it is off Belmont Street but it is worth the effort as the do a large range of what i call healthy food and home bakes for the deserning diner.

a must visit place, - really, dropped in here on a visit to Aberdeen as it had been recommended, soup on offer was tomato & red pepper which was fine, the leek & potato gave dishwater a good name it was awful, the soup had...

Found this place strolling around Aberdeen, lovely place with fresh coffee and sandwiches, recommend a visit if your in the area

This is a busy place and nice for a coffee stop. Bench style seating is not the most comfortable or easy to accesss but ok. You queue at the counter to select and pay. I don’t have a problem with this but I found the...

Went there for a relatively late lunch on a busy Saturday. Lucky to get a table as the place was mobbed. Queue at till wasn't too big but the issues appeared after that. Staff that were on were all very pleasant and working flat out....

I really like The Coffee Shop but it is seriously let down by the queuing. Yesterday initially there was only one barista and there was quite a queue by 10.15. It is not the baristas' fault as they are working flat out and they are...

The chairs are a bit uncomfortable, but the coffee is good and the pastries as well. There was live music on Saturday. Nice sandwiches!

Have visited many times before but today was disgusted with hygiene and attitude of staff. Ordered soup and sandwich. Person taking order at till repeated order back to me which I had to correct. When order arrived sandwich was wrong so flagged down a member...

Coffee House is SUCH a go to place, for lunch with friends/parents, studying during the day, events in the evening, its fantastic! Would recommend to anybody heading to Aberdeen

We stopped here for coffee whilst in town on a Saturday. The coffee shop was very busy and quite noisy. That said, the coffee was excellent and the choice of beverages was very good. Cakes looked rather nice, albeit very large portions. We would have...

On a Saturday evening, The Coffee House transforms from a busy daytime café to a relaxed jazz bar, complete with candles on the tables and a jazz quartet playing in the corner. The daytime menu carries on into the evening, although popular choices may be...

The service organization is poor. The coffee is quite good, but not hot enough! Staff seem very vague and not adequately trained. The food is overpriced - if you're not a cake eater. Some outside seating available.

If you go on a Saturday morning, just as the clientele builds up, you may have to wait a short while (the queue was very good natured) as some of the offerings (and the drinks) are put together on the spot - the excellent (and...

Quite possibly the slowest service ever , 25 mins for a bowl of soup. Finished my coffee before my partner even got her soup.

We came across this cafe by chance and found it to be inviting, energetic and busy for 6 pm in a Wednesday! Hot chocolate, mocha and cafe lattes were in our agenda and each was handcrafted, served to our table in a timely fashion, and...

On a recent visit to The Coffee House, I was very disappointed both by the attitude of the staff and the coffee. Our order was a macchiato and a cortado. The first member of staff produced the macchiato and spilt it over the cup and...

I already knew of this place. We walked for about 10 minutes from the rail station to find it. We only came for a coffee break. I am conscious of cost but I would describe the prices in this place as being standard. By the...

I have passed this little place many times on my visits to Aberdeen but I won't pass it anymore. It is lovely inside and the staff are very nice and polite..they let me taste a little sample of the chilli as I had asked if...

This little hidden gem just of the main thorough fare is one for a repeat visit. Cake and a tea/coffee is £5.15, which may sound a bit steep until you taste the cake!!! The portion is also very reasonable. The inside is very nicely country...

Queue for half an hr, sit for half an hr, sorry we’ve run out of....blah blah blah. Thanks for nothing....literally

I was looking for a quick lunch and a good cup of coffee. By chance, I found this great establishment. Lots of room to sit, pleasant staff that quickly changed my order to a takeaway when I asked to go. Much better than the usual...

Great little place with long tables and benches for a more communal feel. Great selection of soups, salads and treats with great coffee.

I am such a loyal customer of this place! The coffee, the cakes ( <3 ), the sandwiches.. but a special mention to the amazing (friendly, kind and attractive) members of staff! they contribute to making the coffee house the best place in Aberdeen to...

Nice café, good selection of tasty vegan-friendly cakes. Extra charge for animal-based milk though. I would like the staff to wear a uniform or at least a name badge though as this has caused slight confusion on a couple of occasions. And there's a piano

The first time I was here I was a bit sceptical about going along a cobbled, sometimes vomit strewn street for a cup of coffee. I’m glad I did as it is a really nice, vibrant coffee house. It serves really decent coffee and some...

A friend took us here for lunch and it was amazing. There is a great choice of drinks, sandwiches, soups and cakes to enjoy and they are simply delicious. I can personally vouch for their special which was on at the time which had peanut...

We met for an interview at this place and it was a good decision. Plenty of space, nice atmosphere, good tea and selection of food. A bit confusing for a first-timer, but otherwise quite nice.

Well presented decor, good menu etc. Staff are pleasant. However, I ordered and paid for sandwich with extra toppings and it wasn't added. The only reason I'm posting this is that the last time I was here we got the soup and sandwich deal (me...

cosy restaurant, sometimes life music. Open for breakfast, lunch and meals en drinks. Healthy food, also voor veggies etc.

Been into this coffee house a couple of times now and it has always been busy. Don't think it is the place to go if you want a quick coffee and away again but if you have a few minutes spare you will not regret...

Really slow service. Waited 20 mins for soup to be served then it arrived stone cold. Tables also not getting cleared, there’s empty plates and cups piled up on the piano.

Perfect Saturday night catch up! After dinner on Belmont Street myself and a friend were looking for somewhere for a quiet drink and stumbled upon The Coffee House. Open until 2pm on Saturdays with live music, wine, cake, coffee and cocktails available, they even whipped...

On Saturday afternoon, The Coffee House was doing a roaring trade with a long queue waiting to be served. Popular with students using the free Wi-fi, we eventually found a seat at one of the long shared tables. Coffee and a cake costs £4.95, but...

Whether you need a bite to eat or just a coffee and cake you'll love this place. It's got real character and you sit. on benches just like you're back at school. You usually have to share a large table with someone else but it's...

If you're planning your #vacation in #Scotland, come to #Aberdeen, find The Coffee House Hotel & have a marvelous holiday experience: best fresh bio food, gluten free pies &cookies made in house, home made soft bread, excellent coffee, concerts with spicy local musicians, lovely, warm...

You can hardly get more central than this cafe, and I went in for soup and sandwiches. You order at the counter. The soup was very good and the sandwiches substantial. You get a choice of bread and I had the option of mustard with...

This is a wonderful place to go for simple, yet filling, food. It is unusual as the seating is long tables with bench seats, which is especially good if there is a group going together. The staff are very friendly and they cater for vegan...

Hands down the best coffee shop in Aberdeen. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and awesome cakes. It’s our go to coffee shop when every we are in the city centre. It’s great if you are meeting friends, doing a bit of studying or just want a...

My friend recommended me this place for a Friday evening, somewhere I can go to have an enjoyable and relaxing evening. This place did not disappoint! It was a quiet evening, 22/12/17, I was served immediately with humour (the gentleman was kind and funny -...

My friend suggested going to one of the chains for coffee but I'm glad we opted for The Coffee House instead. We had a lovely coffee with delicious cake (from a wide choice) and the ambience is just right - nothing too fussy. We chatted...

Atmosphere relaxed, cosy and welcoming. Enjoyed a lovely cuppa and my daughter had a gorgeous fresh smoothie! Enjoyed some live piano music this afternoon will definitely be returning for food with the whole family.

We went here on a Saturday for lunch when we passed by instead of Cafe Nero. Nice coffee, interesting juices and good sandwiches. The atmosphere is nice and cosy as well. A place to come back to.

The coffee house is a nice place to warm up, have a lovely cup of tea or one of the varations of coffee. There is a big choice of cakes and some lovely scones.

This is a lovely place with a wonderful variety of cakes and sandwiches. Plenty of seating. Really nice ambiance and friendly staff. A great place for a morning scone, homemade cakes, or a pot of tea.

In the mood for a light snack. Came here on recommendation from the young lady who works at the Visit Scotland iCentre. Her description of this cafe having a Scandinavian feel was spot-on. Light woods and clean lines dominate this open space. I enjoyed a...

This is a lovely wee coffee shop with a great choice of tea's and coffee, and a good selection of sandwiches all freshly made to order. Unfortunately you don't stand a chance of resisting their very tempting range of bakes!

Me & my husband visited for breakfast. I think we got there for opening as the girls were still setting up a little and it got busier as we were sitting down. We ordered coffee and bacon sandwiches. Really tasty and arrived fast. The only...

Visited several times. Average but nice brunch place in central Aberdeen, also accommodation available next door. You order at the counter, and your food is brought to you at the table reasonably fast. A few bottled beers available, not served before 11:00 a.m.

Light lunch of roasted pepper soup and sandwich. Soup was very nice. Sandwich was an interesting combination of streaky bacon, apple and homemade sweet chilli jam. Excellent combination of flavours however the sweet chilli had the taste and consistency of something squeezed out of a...

Friendly service, menu has nice selection, tasty food and drinks at reasonable prices. Lovely atmosphere. The only issue is that seats may not be available because it is so busy.
