The Seafront Cafe & Takeaway in Aberdeenshire

Great little spot on the seafront and the food was good! Friendly and quick service. Would definitely go back when we are next around!

The new owner and her father were delightful. We were visiting from the USA and they were very welcoming and friendly. My husband and I had the Sunday breakfast special which was a bargain. The cafe is cute, clean, and cozy in addition to being right on the water front.

Great food at Ggreat prices and lovely staff too. We will be back 😀

What a delightful cafe. Lovely food and great chat with the owners

Lovely little cafe on the harbour front, meals great and the staff are brilliant recommend a visit.

Found this gorgeous little cafe via google search being in the area for quick visit. Came here as a couple wanting lunch before going home. Was not disappointed. Lovely clean cafe, food amazing, soup was homemade and the sandwiches filled to the brim with our choice of flavour, sweet chilli chicken was devine, managed to finish off with a snickers brownie oh my word no words to describe how delicious. Cappucino fresh and smooth, staff were lovely. Great price and fully recommend.

Lovely owners. Lovely food. Great coffee

Fairly good cafe! Large portions and a sufficiently large selection of desserts, the selection of coffee is ok! 👍 The food is too dry for us Latvians! 🙂

Macduff is a bit limited in the food stakes but this small cafe more than makes up for that. A warm welcome, decent menu, and fair prices. Filling portions, service was speedy. Does a range of full meals and lighter bites. Fully wheelchair accessible. Recommended!

The staff were very friendly in this spotlessly clean cafe across from the interesting harbour. The menu was varied, the food was excellent, and the prices VERY VERY reasonable!

Delicious food. Amazing atmosphere.

Great food. Honestly it was the best roll in bacon and egg I've ever had!! My two boys both finished their rolls. A rare feat. I'll be back.

Cool place next to the sea. Small, but nice. We enjoyed the food and short stay there:)

Lovely, snug cafe by the bay. The best quiche I think I've ever eaten!

Came in for lunch at 12pm. As it is a small place there were no seats available which was not a problem! We decided to go for a takeaway instead. There aren't many tables since it is such a small place. There were at least 6 tables full, 2 couples had came in after we had ordered and were sat waiting with their menus infront of them for the entire 30 minutes we were stood waiting for simple soup and sandwiches. The waitress seemed to not know what to do with herself as she walked around aimlessly not really helping out what i presume is the owner or the kitchen. I am aware it is new owners from previous? I think there either needs to be more training for everyone or more staff as it was just not being handled well at all. Apart from all this food was very nice, hopefully next time we visit they have gained better organisational skills.

Thoroughly recommend. Super wee cafe with excellent food and friendly staff x

Breakfast roll and tea served in a clean friendly environment with a great view.

It's been a while since we were last in Macduff so this was like coming home. A really friendly welcome and (hurrah!) Cullen Skink was on the menu. A superb example of this local dish. This was accompanied by a perfect decaf mocha, served in a glass as it should be. Were we tempted by the pecan roulade? Of course we were, and it didn't disappoint! The Seafront seems as popular with locals as it is with visitors - and rightly so.

Lovely place,good location just a pity not serving meals after 3pm on the day we were there but understandable this time of year.

Fantastic lunch and great cake afterwards. Lovely friendly staff who are patient, friendly and welcoming. Nothing better to be yards from the sea with view of trawler fishing boats. A jewel in Aberdeenshire’s crown.😊😀😄

Second visit and it was as good as the first.

Smashing place coffee and scones were super staff very friendly highly recommended.

Are lunch at the Sea Front Cafe yesterday. The food was delicious! I had the soup and sandwich and my friend had a chicken wrap. My Bacon and Brie panini with cranberry chutney/sauce was perfect. I left with a takeaway Millionaire Brownie and it lived up to its name! The staff was super friendly.

Great cafe. Excellent choice of great food. Highly recommended.

Great value for money, very friendly staff. Even artwork on the walls that you can purchase

Very nice food. Friendly staff. Cakes really nice.

Great coffee, fabulous cake and lovely staff. Nothing can stop a five star rating from me 😊

Had a lovely house burger. Lovely staff and decent prices.

Im Juni 22 hier gewesen. Über die Freundlichkeit in Schottland muss man nichts mehr sagen, man wird hier ein besserer Mensch. Das Café hat Chrme und einen unerwarteten ruhigen Garten hinterm Haus. Die Sonne schien, Cappuccino und Millionär Cake, einfach perfekt.

Popped in for a full Scottish breakfast the other Saturday morning while my dog was at the groomers. Unfortunately for the price I was a little disappointed as there was no Tattie scones and only 1 slice of black pudding. I could easily have eaten 2 of them but hey ho never mind x

Absolutely fantastic little cafe, with great food, and cakes. Ideal for a cuppa or for a full sit down lunch. The burger was superb. 🍔🥰

Have been having breakfast and lunch here all week, Food and staff excellent, baking amazing, Working here for next three weeks, will def be having breakfast and lunch here each day, Well worth a visit

My wife and I stopped for lunch during our honeymoon. Up to this point I was having no luck with the food in Scotland, and the chicken mozzarella toasty was one of the best things I've eaten in general, the best thing in Scotland.

Our visit was pretty much perfect! The proprietor was very welcoming and friendly, the drinks were excellent and well-priced, and the scones were delicious. In addition, the café was nice and light inside, clean, and decorated with some lovely paintings. I'd urge anybody passing through or visiting Macduff to stop here!

This was a great little stop right on the coast with delicious food (as Americans in Scotland it was our first time actually enjoying our meal). The staff was lovely and we even made off with some shortbread, scones, and tray baked treats!

A real fund. Stopped for lunch and couldn't resist the temptation of the lively cakes. Great little cafe with delicious food and friendly service. Glad we got there early as it quickly filled up by lunchtime.

Very friendly staff and good food

Stopped in past on way up to Inverness for a short break - the food was delicious and super fresh, kids even commented that it was the best toastie ever! I had Cullen Skink and will be making a point of returning just for that - it was the best ive tasted for ages. Staff friendly and helpful - we also purchased some homebakes to take with us and they were delicious. Will be back soon :-)

Ein tolles kleines Cafe mit sehr netten und offenen Mitarbeiterinnen, hervorragendem Kaffee und Kuchen. Alles mit Liebe gemacht, wir kommen gerne wieder!

Great breakfast and lovely waitress, super friendly.

The Cullen Skink and scampi were delicious. Just the lunch that we were looking for.

Were exploring the area and were looking for a place for a coffee and cake in the afternoon. This was a nice clean and comfortable little place that offers a warm welcome. There is a full and extensive menu, but we just had coffee which was very good, scone and jam which was really nice and a piece of Malteser cake which judging by the speed of its consumption was really good too. Staff were really nice, very friendly and seemed to enjoy their work. If you are in the area do try it you will not be disappointed.

Once again here in Macduff. The Seafront Cafe is simply excellent. Freshly prepared, locally sourced food. A super setting by the harbour. Lovely, friendly staff - nothing is too much trouble.

Very nice modest with a pleasant courtyard at rear giving shelter and a bit of isolation from traffic noise. Friendly service with gluten free offerings including home bakes.

Very friendly. Excellent value for money. Tattie soup delicious! Wish we had found it sooner.

Would highly recommend this cafe, lovely staff and loads of choice! Chocolate cheesecake was fabulous!

Lovely cafe with great food, also a cracking courtyard area for warmer days

Had a takeaway from here. Fish and chips, Scampi and Chicken Goujon. This was absolutely wonderful. Piping hot. Very generous portions. Staff were so friendly, polite and accommodating. Great selection of food. We will certainly go there again. The cakes looked so scrumptious too. Well worth a visit.

Great find. Drove through Macduff and stopped off here for lunch. Amazing paninis, sandwiches and of course the cakes. Service was fab too. Highly recommended!

Lovely cake, great coffee and excellent service, with a smile :-)

A lovely cafe opposite the working harbour. We arrived as a family of 8, half an hour before closing for coffee and cake and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Fantastic selection of cakes including a number of gluten free options. There is also a food menu for those who come earlier… might be worth another visit! The boys also loved the ice cream tub selection. Well worth a visit.

The coffee wasn’t good and unfortunately the service was very slow. The menu and cakes look nice, but I wouldn’t have a coffee here again.

We went for lunch to the Seafront Café, a beautifully decorated little place that looks out over Macduff Harbour. The food was delicious and served quickly by very friendly and helpful staff, despite them being incredibly busy. A truly lovely café with a cosy and friendly feel to it, would 100% recommend.

We were on our way and saw this cafe. We stopped by to grab some lunch. It was so delicious and the ladies are lovely. Nice view and they have toilet. Car park free. If I ever come back this way I will stop by

Absolutely delicious beef burger with blue cheese, black pudding, chorizo and chips, while my friend had Thai sweet chilli chicken soup and a Panini with cheese and chorizo and a biscoff topped milkshake. And we sat in the outdoor courtyard which was very relaxing. I'd give 6 stars if I could.

Great food and friendly service

Had an excellent lunch yesterday. Can thoroughly recommend it. Home bakes are fantastic Soup was very tasty. Plenty to eat

Excellent food and great service from friendly staff. Very cosy. Highly recommended.

A quaint little cafe situated along the seafront in Macduff (as the name suggests). It was a horrific day weather wise - thankfully there were plenty of spaces along the street. We phoned the business in advance to book a table - please note, any time after 12pm will likely require pre-booking (stated by an employee). Before that, like when we arrived, it was quiet. As these difficult times require, we were asked to wear face masks. The staff also wore them. The two members of staff working here were extremely friendly and welcoming - just very nice people overall. The tables were well spaced out and we were provided with a high chair for our young boy. For food, I opted for a 'Roast Beef & Honey Mustard Panini' and my wife had the 'Brie & Cranberry Panini'. Both were served with 'Crisps, Coleslaw & Salad' and were lovely. As another safety measure, everything we were served was given to us on disposable crockery (and had plastic one use cutlery). No complaints with that at the moment. For a sweet finish, we both had 'Cakes', one slice of 'Chocolate Fudge Cake' and one slice of 'Coffee & Walnut Cake', both amazing! These were washed down with a 'Chocolate Milkshake' and a 'Latte'. The menu was really good - plenty on offer including an extensive range of 'Traybake' to buy and take away. Almost gave a five here but as great as it was, I wasn't blown away. That aside, I highly recommend this cafe run by some lovely people in a great setting along the Moray Coast!

Very very neat clean and tidy little cafe with the most delightful staff. Very nice to sit inside and enjoy the view over the harbour. We had fish and chips and it was truly excellent. Coffee good and nothing expensive. Excellent

Lovely stop before Banff. Had nice panini, drink and cake and ended up taking two boxes of cakes home. Worth a stop

Soup, Toasted sandwiches and Quiche were excellent in flavour and presentation. Delightful staff; spotless surroundings. Try their homebake selection, mouth watering! Highly recommend.

Fantastic little hidden gem. Great staff, great food and worth every penny

Great to have the cafe open albeit only for takeaways. The coffee and homemade shortbread is fantastic as well as the warm welcome you get from the owner who is working on her own for the time being.Well Done

Popped in by to get a takeaway lunch & had a lovely meal with the Picnic box of Sandwiches, quiche, salad, small cakes & a small tub of coleslaw which was all homemade & tasted delightful, then some fruit & cheese scones for after’s, all at a reasonable price & friendly service, well worth a visit again, Thanks

We try to stop here when passing, it's a lovely cafe, lovely staff, beautiful views and food is well delicious:-)

Lovely cafe, friendly staff and the pavlova is out of this world, well worth the drive. Will certainly return :-)

We popped in lunch and we were certainly not disappointed. Although the quiche I had was not one of the best I have had the rest of my group were delighted what they choose. The tray cakes were all excellent as was the service.

Visited with family, had a very nice lunch and it is well priced. The staff are very friendly will defiantly return.

Amazing fresh food served here.

This is a lovely little cafe on the seafront offering a good selection of food and delicious cakes. The staff were friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend a visit here.

First class cafe with excellent food and highly likely to return in future.😃

Super nettes kleines Café mit leckerem lokalen Essen (probiert Cullen Skunk, wenn ihr könnt Leute) und witziger winziger Besitzerin :)

This is a great cafe. It has really well priced breakfast range and then a fine lunch menu with several hot meals available as well as the usual sandwiches, paninis and soups. If you are in the mood for a treat the cakes are superb.I had a quiche with salad. It was a generous deep-filled slice, fresh and warm- often there are several quiche options- it came with ample coleslaw, salad and crisps and filled the plate, priced at £5.60. Ambience is fine, with fresh contemporary decor; everyone is catered for and the cafe is frequented by local people.It is pretty easy to get parked outside, opposite or nearby. They also have a tempting Festive menu planned.

Visiting the sea aquarium in Macduff we saw cards advertising this cafe. We had to ask directions to find it, but found a little gem. Only had a pot of tea & cake, but the apple & sultana cake I had was delicious, & very welcome on a chilly day. The cakes were homemade. Nice friendly staff too.

This is a lovely cafe overlooking the harbour. Had a nice coffee and some lovely cakes. I will definitely go back again next time i'm in the area.

Good size portions of good quality fresh home made food at a fair price and pleasant efficient service with a smile

Peaceful place to have a lunch or just a cup of tea or coffee. Great service makes one to visit again!

Friendly service, decent menu choice and good value. The pancakes were excellent!

Clean, fresh, top. Very nice place to spend restoration. I push for that! Good choice off fish, amazing sweet tinghs!

Very nice fish&chips, home baked cakes with various choices, great coffee and very friendly staff! What a relaxing moment to have away from home.

Great food and service be back again cheers

We wanted somewhere to break the week long packed lunches whilst in holiday. The Seafront did that for us. We had paninis and the children had soup and toasties. All fresh ingredients and home made soup, lovely. Home baked cakes too follow, chocolate, caramel etc. All served with a smile and friendly conversation. If your sound for the aquarium perfect lunch stop.

Great wee cafe for meal or snack. Very good home made food. Clean, tidy with a shared single toilet. Looks out onto the harbour. Lovely friendly local staff. Would definitely go back and recommend to others.

Staying near by in a caravan site we were having a walk along the harbour at Macduff when we spotted the wee cafe. It was quite busy but managed to get a table. We had the Cullen skink it was delicious a long with a lovely freshly made sandwich. For being so busy service was very fast and lovely pot of tea. The young girl served us and she chatted away and we had a laugh with her . Very reasonable priced. Large selection of cakes. We decided we would buy one to take back to caravan for our cuppa in the afternoon. We bought one slice of cake which was ample between us it was quite big. Lovely we cafe with very friendly staff a must to visit when in area.

My friend and I are regular customers to this cafe . We can guarantee the scones are fresh daily ,as we always arrive as they are coming out off the oven . For the size off their kitchen ( which I can add is spotless ) they produce amazing food . We have had snacks ,breakfasts and amazing lunches . The staff are so friendly and helpful every time we are in .

I hate to leave a negative review so I will begin with the good bits.

Eravamo da queste parti per visitare Pennan e Crovie, dove all'ora di pranzo scordatevi di trovare un posto per pranzare. Quindi ci siamo fermati qui per mangiare qualcosa di veloce. Un tost prosciutto e formaggio che avevo chiesto senza patate fritte ma solo insalata di contorno è arrivato con patatine fritte ( quelle imbustate ), un mix di maionese e non so cosa e pochissima insalata. Vabbè, il dolce era accettabile.

Eravamo di passaggio all'ora di pranzo, ci siamo fermati per mangiare qualcosa velocemente. Forse non ci siamo capiti, avevo chiesto un toast prosciutto e formaggio senza pagare fritte con sola insalata. Le patatine fritte, che servono a parte, ovviamente non sono arrivate, nel piatto c'era il toast, una porzioncina di insalata, qualcosa con la maionese e delle patatine ( quelle confezionate ). Ho preso un dolce di cui non ricordo il nome che era buono. Lo staff è molto gentile.

Popped in here for tea and coffee, the lady that served us was very warm, friendly and chatty. Will definitely visit again for something to eat next time (as we had a large brekky in our caravan) as the menu looked very inviting, and that for the friendly service, we will be back.

On a return trip from Aberdeen the weather was so beautiful we had a detour to the coast. We found this gem of a cafe thanks to Trip Advisor . Located overlooking the harbour it looks welcoming and modern . The staff were very welcoming and gave us time to look at the menu and extensive specials board. I chose a bacon Brie and onion marmalade panini, which had lots of cheese! My wife had the quiche from the specials board , which came with salad and chips . Both meals were well presented and good size portions .

Lovely little friendly café, very clean and comfortable. Soup for lunch was delicious.

Stopped of for take out got soup, sandwich with salad plus juice and then sat down at harbour and ate my lunch tastiest lunch ever had, will be going back i highly recommend, price not bad either.

Been for a day trip with my partner and stopped here for lunch. After my meal I've decided to try a slice of avocado, lemon and lime cake. Super yummy!!! I loved it! I suggest you to try it even if you are not vegan or gluten free like me.

Been here a few times and he food is always amazing. Staff are always friendly and polite. I would definitely recommend giving the seafront cafe a visit :)

I called in for lunch with my brother and his family who were up visiting. There was a very friendly welcome and we were given plenty of time to decide what to order. All our food was delicious and the home-made quiche was amazing. We decided to tackle the massive cakes but I had to admit defeat! Really good food, very friendly staff and very reasonably priced.

Great lunch stop today for me and my cycling mates. Bikes can be safely stored behind the cafe. Food and service fantastic. Defo be back.

I used to think the best Cullen Skink was made by my grandmother who lived in Buckie. It was suggested I sample The Seafront Cafe's Cullen Skink — it really is something very special.

Delightful café. Attentive staff and welcoming demeanor. Freshly prepared hot and cold food. Don't forget to try their cakes. Recommended.

Beautiful little cafe We come here everyone we visit family The staff are great, the food it lovely and the cakes even cater for dietary requirements Also who can argue with views like this ...
