The Craftsman Company in Aberdeen City

Nice atmosphere, I could have stayed the whole afternoon if it was not I had other plans. Very good coffee. Highly recommend ❤️

Something has changed here. Used to give it 4 stars but changed it to 2. Haven't been for a few months but there used to be a great selection of beers on the main board - lots of different selections. This time the selection was narrower and more mainstream and the big blackboard was empty. Whenever we've been before the staff have also been approachable and helpful but this time the guy was really arsey and made us feel like a nuisance for asking about gin choices. Won't be back any time soon.

Lovely breakfast and coffee, a great place to catch up with an old friend for my visit last week, staff were attentive and friendly- food tasted like a very high quality product.

Lovely place. Consistent quality. The service is great and the food is always way better than you would expect from a coffee shop. Fantastic place to relax and have lunch and drinks in Aberdeen city center.

Delicious food and nice selection of beers, service was quick and very friendly too! Great atmosphere that make us come back every day during our visit in Aberdeen!

A nice wee place, the coffee was delicious, but the food was pretty average. The sausage was very poor quality and very pricey for not amazing food. Shame, as it is a lovely spot. The bagels looked amazing, perhaps we made the wrong choices.

Great food and the most helpful cheery staff, recommend.

If you have a spare £50 to throw away this is your place of choice! My partner had the full Monty breakfast more the half pint size plus helps if the sausages were cooked, they weren’t even browned off! Pathetic £17-95 I had the Turkish eggs…. 2 overcooked poached eggs drowning in fridge cold yogurt with some chives stirred through then a believe it was meant to be a drizzle of chorizo oil more like an oil slick which unfortunately the tasty sourdough drank up to the point of saturation. So they only flavoursome part of the dish was completely ruined by the chefs incompetence! No seasoning at all and oil had no flavour. In other words tepid overcooked tasteless slop. Dire £9-95 This place should be featured on RIP OFF BRITAIN!

Good decor nice relaxed atmosphere. Lovely staff. Food was great. Dietary needs met. Only negative - on the day - it was uncomfortably cold inside the The Craftsman.

We only had a couple of beers. Didn't eat. Difficult ro find a plce ro sit on during buy times but generally one of the best places to have a beer or a coffee or a sweet in Aberdeen

Have come for coffee a couple times and had a really nice brunch today. Had the Turkish eggs which were delicious! Staff are friendly and helpful, really nice atmosphere.

Always a delight and a new In summary, this coffee shop transcends the ordinary by delivering not just a cup of coffee but an entire sensory experience. From the inviting ambiance to the expertly crafted beverages, it has secured its place as a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable coffee outing.

Nice and chill atmosphere on a week night. £10 pizza and pint deal is fantastic value, thanks to the bartender for pointing it out!

Food was terrible rock hard bagel dry, garlic mushrooms cold, Not good at all

Me and my partner used to come here a lot as it was our favourite place to get Breakfast/Lunch but it feels as though the place has taken a turn for the worse. I believe they have a new chef and are potentially under new management. The last 3 visits the service has been sub par, everyone is entitled to off days of course but it’s now just a bit of a theme. They used to be quite bubbly but now everything seems a bit of a chore. It took us 20 minutes to get our order taken last time and we actually had to get up and grab someone ourselves, when we told her we had been waiting a while and just wanted to order she looked a bit miffed that we had bothered her. The food isn’t the same as it was before, usually I would order a Big Monty Breakfast but the last time I had one the bacon and sausage looked anaemic and on the verge of being just cooked. It was always done perfectly before so it was a bit off putting. My partners father asked for his bacon and sausage to be cooked a little bit more, this seemed to be a hassle too. It’s unfortunate for the staff if they aren’t being managed well or are suffering with new owners but with the way it is we won’t be going back, particularly when you are a regular customer but it’s seemingly a massive inconvenience for a soggy breakfast to be cooked a bit more or to just have your order taken.

Great atmosphere and the staff are top notch 👌

This looks a very nice bar but their listed opening hours do not match reality. Came past today at 7pm to find it closed up and lights off, despite being advertised for a midnight close. Sadly I have encountered this before when trying to visit. It may be prudent to advertise the correct times. For visitors, I would suggest phoning in advance if planning a visit to avoid disappointment

Hands down, the best espresso martini in town. That I've had at least. It's also the most expensive one I've had in Aberdeen but oh, boy is it good. There's usually a better craft beer selection than what I saw available on this visit. I don't recall seeing any porters or stouts. Pretty good coffee, too if you're looking for locally roasted whole beans. Not as good as Figment and that ilk, but still pretty good. Better than Macbeans that's for sure! The decor is very cool, the food always looks amazing. Lots of baked goods to choose from as well. I've been here several times for a pint, a drink or a coffee - which they offer a variety of preparations including pour-over. Must come back and try the food sometime!

Great pizza great drinks and as an added bonus amazing live music

Great place to visit if you want a light snack or coffee ,cakes are massive or if you just want a drink!!! Great value for money 💰

Lovely dog friendly spot for some brunch and a beer or two! 🐕

Terrible! I don't know about the food, we never got to try it. An hour wait for a BLT, beans on toast and a kids breakfast? My baby was starving and thank God I had a snack to give her. We wouldn't mind the wait if we had been treated differently. No one came up to us to let us know there would be a delay or they were short of staff or anything! We would have made other arrangements for the little one. Half-assed apology from staff with the personality of a baguette. No offer of a discount. When we finally gave up after an hour the food wasn't even nearly ready, otherwise I assume they would have told us to stay and we would have. We just paid for our cofee and left. It ruined our day out as we had to rush home for my girls nap which was overdue due to waiting so long. This was us giving you a second chance after the last time you tried to gaslight us into eating a charcoal burned pizza. Never again. No one seems to give a sh*t about costumers in this place.

A busy but relaxed place. Laid back. Good value for money. Nice for brunch, lunch, cocktails or a cosy dram.

Dropped in for a few drinks and a bite to eat while visiting a friend in Aberdeen, the Turkish eggs were lovely and the recommendations for drinks from Josh were spot on. Great atmosphere, highly recommend and will definitely be back again.

Been many times . Always great coffee excellent breakfast and helpful staff.

Sinceramente me esperaba más de este lugar el ambiente me gustó como tal pero el servicio y la comida no me gustó para nada. Pedí tostadas francesas de tiramisu que solo eran tostadas francesas normales con pan muy seco y un café que eso si estaba bueno y pague £14. Pero para atenderme y darme el menú se tardaron alrededor de 25 minutos. Tuve que pararme para pedir la carta y ahí me atendieron.

I used to buy the bags of coffee from here and the coffee was good. Unfortunately the manager has decided to raise the price way too high and I won't be buying from them again. This is not a judgement on the cafe and the staff, but the manager needs to get a grip with the new cost. Sadly a customer has been lost to a cheaper rival.

Great atmosphere, awesome selection of drinks both alcoholic and non.

Nice atmosphere, quick service and big selection of craft beers. Didn't realise they served ONLY craft beers (the clue is in there name) but we weren't disappointed.

Nice place, good beer, puzzlingly bad service! We went in just after 12 (it was almost empty and there were two bartenders) and received a cheerful welcome from the lass behind the bar. “We’d just like 2 coffees please”. “Take a seat and I’ll be with you”. Not sure why we can’t order at the bar but hey-ho. We waited. Another chap approached the bar and after a long chat she served him his beer. My wife returned to the bar. “we’d really just like to order 2 coffees”. “Yes, take a seat, I’ll be right with you “ We waited. Another chap approached the bar and she had a long chat and served him a beer. We got up and went to Starbucks.

What a friendly vibe! Delicious pizza 🍕 service was excellent 👌 really nice atmosphere ✨ a lovely place to visit for all crowds. Prices were also fantastic! Looking forward to next visit and hopefully checking out the Live Music 🎶 Thank you 😊

Sehr cooler Laden, tolle Einrichtung & einen hervorragenden Cappuccino 😊

Wir waren auf der Durchreise und habe hier eine kleine Pause gemacht, dass personal war sehr zuvorkommend und der Cappuccino war hervorragend.

Great place to stop for a while, and very dog friendly

Ein kleiner Pub mit vielen Craft Bieren

Well worth visiting for a coffee and a bite; I had a Tiramasu French toast, pleasantly not too sweet.

Great location. Close to the harbour area. A good choice of beer and food.

Nice place.enjoyed coffee and a big slice of cake.

Really nice sandwiches and good coffee.

Seen a few negative review on here recently regarding the food etc. however we wanted to set the record straight regarding our own experience just the other day. Busy, scorching Sunday lunchtime, we wanted to try the some of the very reasonably priced brunch offers on the go and we were seriously impressed with the food quality. Pancakes were to die for, best we've ever had, and the bacon was top notch also, plenty of it (about 4-6 slices). The club sandwich was recommended by our server and she was totally right, the thing was colossal and generously packed with filling and flavour. We finished it off with a slice of carrot cake, which was near enough the size of a small house in BOD, tasted superb. Service was great and the beer was lovely. Would recommend to anyone for a decent scran, they do pizza to which is great.

Everything was top notch, the Turkish eggs, the soup of the day and the coffee, highly recommended.

Nepateikšu par ēdienu, bet alus izvēle ir pietiekosa! 🙂

Lovely atmosphere. Friendly enough service. Breakfast stout was delicious

First time here. Friendly efficient service. Live music. Loved it

Funny go here if you're looking for your "usual" point as this excellent place only does craft and special beers and cocktails but all the better for it. In addition a great selection of coffees, pastries and cake, lots of cake! Live music Friday and Saturday nights rounds off this interesting alternative bar. Great staff and service as well

We stopped for lunch in this pub, the staff were bright and cheery and helpful, we ordered the meat and cheese share board and Oh my Goodness it was Amazing!! A mix of fruit, pickles, bread, cheeses and continental meats, it was All divine and more than we could finish. I have to say that this Craftsman Company have out shone many other eateries we have been to in Aberdeen hands down. Well Done to all your hard work. We will certainly be back!

Good selection of beers and cocktails.

Hundefreundlich, bekamen direkt ohne zu fragen eine Schüssel Wasser, Service sehr sympathisch, Essen gut, Preis ok, was will man mehr bei einem Sightseeing Stopp mittags.

Nice place. Friendly staff. Would come again

A fabulous brunch or lunch spot. Quirky and full of character. They have vegan and vegetarian brunch options. The Mexican bread toast is lovely, with high quality bread 👌 As a craft beer place, they also have lots of cocktails, but do coffee too - you can buy coffee beans to take home.

Agree with previous review. Something has changed - chef? Ordered leek potato soup - very ordinary. Bread but no butter - had run out!😔 Tuna sandwich - filling only on one side. Very disappointed. Won’t return. Husband didn’t want to go there anyway. Never again. Did mention it to the server who just smiled when I paid. Didn’t bother to order a coffee and scones. Wouldn’t recommend. Better places in Aberdeen.

Something has changed since our last visit. The member of staff who "greeted' us simply demanded' is it for drinks?' Unfortunately it turns out that he was simply managing our expectations, as there was no breakfast or brunch menu compared to every other time I've been in. I don't know if there has been a change of ownership or management, but it certainly isn't the relaxed and comfortable spot it was a few months ago. I've had to go back to friends and un-recommend The Craftsman. What a shame.

Lovely place, great coffees​ and a good selection of beers!

Lovely Restaurant with one of the best Pizza I‘v ever ate :) drinks were really good as well :)

Great spot for Coffee , food looked nice , friendly staff .. and Dug Friendly !

Lovely atmosphere. There wasn't really menu. So I wasn't sure what kind of wine to order. I had to ask staff. Scones good size, served with jam and cream but a bit dry and cold. Never had a tissue paper. Free Cucumber water was a nice touch.

Lovely coffee. Good vibe. Try the Turkish eggs😊. We will be back for a pint this evening.

Great selection of craft beers and sandwiches. Dogs are welcome. A chill crafty kinda place.

Awesome wee place, great cake.nice service and great banter

Great food. We had the vegan nachos,halloumi fries and fried capers. Everything was delicious and served quickly despite them being very busy. Great size food portions too. Good drink selections too. We left with some takeaway cake ( I’ve never seen such big portions ) which was delicious too. Staff are super friendly. I would highly recommend this place.

Great food and drinks. We like to go in for brunch as well as drinks in the evening. However the staff on weekends morning shift are really unresponsive, 3 or 4 of them chatting behind the bar and not coming to take our order. It's such a shame as it's a lovely place otherwise.

Feeling rather fuzzy from the night before, breakfast at the Cratsman sorted us right out. Started off with a Bloody Mary (cured me - killed my friend😆) followed by a black pudding and bacon roll. It was made to perfection. Service was great and the banter with the staff was flowing. Really nice vibe here. Loved it.

Breakfast is sensational. Especially the pancakes. Great location especially in the warmer weather. Great service and very reasonable prices.

Food fantastic,staff lovely,but totally deafening music, difficult to hold a conversation.we asked 3times for them to turn the music down but they only turned it down a notch!Very dog friendly apart from damaging their eardrums!

Loved this place - stopped for lunch - really good quality food & very friendly staff. It was so good we came back later for for coffee (awesome) and a piece of cake!

Popped in for a coffee and a beer and they were delicious! Decent selection of beer too. Staff friendly and attentive. Would recommend

Great beer and coffee. Menu looked good but didn’t eat. Would recommend!

Very disappointed. On arrival my husband asked the bar staff to recommend a good ale and she of course recommended one of the most expensive. For a glass of wine (which was nice) and a pint of ale we had to pay £21. Unfortunately my husband didn't like the ale and left most of it. The staff weren't very friendly and the atmosphere wasn't the best. There are quite a few pubs, restaurants and bars in this area that are much better value for money. Will not return.

I'm not usually one to leave reviews but I had such a great time when I visited for Pride on Saturday that I returned again today. Friendly and welcoming staff. Varied breakfast /  brunch menu (I got to return to sample the evening offerings!). There is a gallery of pictures of local dogs which for me confirmed that this will be my official Aberdeen haunt anytime I visit! The tiramisu sourdough french toast is one of the best breakfast experiences I've ever had. Today I got pancakes and they were fluffiest flavour sponges and just delightful. I'm so happy to have found this place and look forward to returning.

Just dropped in for a drink before dinner! Lively but still got a seat on a Saturday evening! I had the Black Isla porter and my husband had the Heffe Weisse which he enjoyed. Great atmosphere and the food looked great, we joked about staying...

Myself and my friend were looking for a place to have breakfast when we came across here. There were no opening times displayed but the door was open so we decided to pop in and ask if they were open. We were met with an...

Lovely bar for after work drinks or coffee at lunchtime. Have yet to try the food but the pizzas look amazing!

Great place for a coffee. Nice chilled atmosphere and dog friendly.

Great coffee! and fab espresso martini’s. Awesome vibe, lovely service.

Nice atmosphere and decor, great service, good beers and food

Thought we would pop in for a quick coffee and sandwich. As we walked in we were barked at by a member of bar staff. Have you booked? No we said. Well wait there was shouted at us. Place was not busy with loads of...

Amazing place, food very good, many options… the carrot cake was the best I've ever tasted. The staffs are very responsive and friendly. I will be back next time I visit Aberdeen, for SURE!!! Pet friendly!!! ❤️

Great coffee Cafe and bar - what a concept, have a coffee followed by a porter! Both were great! Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Didn't eat here, but the pizza looked delicious.

A lovely place with nice selection of beers and drinks. The service was poor, three girls staying at the bar, having you to wait at the bar for solid 10 minutes just to give you a bill. No really rushing to do anything except hanging around.

Food is drastically overpriced for what it is. £10 for a roasted cheese sandwich with one sad slice of pastrami stretched across it. One server in particular who took our order and then served us whilst paying the bill was rude to us and gave...

Poor and abrupt greeting when entering, and table I sat down at wasn't clean. I wasn't attended to for a good while, so chose to leave instead. Doesn't get a worse rating as I didn't try the produce. Shocking service.

Lovely, chill vibe. I went on Sunday for Mother’s Day and enjoyed delicious open sandwiches followed by amazing ginger cake. The coffee was lovely too. I will be back to try the pizzas in the evening. Great welcoming atmosphere, highly recommend!

Interesting appeal to people into craft ale and others into craft coffee

The coffee is lovely! Especially in an espresso martini!!! The cheese and Meat boards are not worth the price as you get very little cheese and loads of biscuits but nice place to meet family and friends for drinks

Nice airy place with a wide range of meals and excellent beer selection

Friendly staff, very warm and cosy spot

Always so lovely when I'm in. Food and drink are top notch :)

This is the best coffee shop in Aberdeen, we stayed here for a week and it was our best discovery! Lovely ambiance, nice people, good prices and amazing food (try the scones)

Amazing place. Polite staff. Wonderful drinks

I'm fond of a visit here when in the area. There is a good selection of beer, gin and tasty cocktails. Food is good and more creative than what is on offer in the surrounding area, I enjoyed a Pesto Egg Sandwich. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable, in a venue that has a casual and social vibe.

Dropped in on the off-chance on a Thursday morning for coffee and cake. We were warmly welcomed and settled at a refectory style table. The coffee was great, hot, fresh and tasty. The selection of sandwich cakes was very good and there were slices and...

Gave up getting served as the bar staff couldn't seem to see that I was there before all the other folk walked up! Won't be going back! Maybe they should have gone to spec savers!

Very good coffee in a lovely place 😊 Didn't have any food so can't comment but the pub quzi was very enjoyable 😀 Thank you 😊

Ordered a sandwich which İ though wouldn't take that long to prepare as i only had around 50 minutes free to eat. After 25 minutes I quickly checked on my food as I could see that other tables which had arrived after me were starting to get their food. The waitress assured me that it wouldn't be long, but I'm not sure if she actually checked the kitchen to see if it was being prepared. After another 10 minutes, i queried about my food again. The waitress actually checked to see if the food was being made this time but İ am presuming that she found that the kitchen didn't have the order even though it was on the system. Unfortunately İ ended up having to leave before İ received the food as İ was running out of time. The staff did offer the sandwich for free or a refund which İ agreed upon and they were relatively apologetic about the situation. However, clearly more training needs to be done to ensure that mistakes such as these do not happen again, also when İ was waiting for my food i spotted other issues with the service which could easily be fixed. On a more more positive note, my coffee and mocktail were really nice and İ would go back for drinks at least

This place was great - we had hot chocolates (one dark one milk). Would’ve loved to have a scone too - they look “proper”. Next time…

Lovely breakfast. Relaxing place. Old style furniture , plates and mugs. Welcoming staff.

Dropped for a hot drink and snack. Very friendly welcome, good choice of teas and coffee. Ordered sandwiches, one wasn't quite what it should have been but both good. Mentioned that to the staff and it was taken off the bill! Excellent service, we'd go back, recommended if you're in the area

Well made, delicious cocktails and craft beers. Loved the sour beer and the cherry kriek. Something for everyone. Trendy, relaxed and friendly.

Had the gingerbread latte, just have one. So good

Food was decent the tiramisu french toast didn't really taste of tiramisu but it was still nice. The pancakes comes with a decent amount of fruit and are decent portion size. The coffee was okay definitely nothing special but decent.
