Aberdeen Coffee Cravings

There’s nothing better than stopping to rest your feet at a coffee shop during a shopping trip. Although Costa and Starbucks are popular places to stop for coffee, I particularly love the independent coffee shops in Aberdeen. So here’s a list of my favourite coffee shops around Aberdeen City Centre, which are only minutes away from one another, with reasons why they must be visited!

I consider myself an expert on the topic – take it from me, I like my coffee!

Books and Beans

22 Belmont Street, Aberdeen AB10 1JH

I had to start with Books and Beans, located on Belmont Street. One of my favourite things to do is to sit with a coffee, a slice of cake and a book, and Books and Beans combines these three things perfectly. The atmosphere is always relaxing and there is a tasty coffee essence throughout the café. A little tip is that there is additional seating upstairs that those less familiar with Books and Beans don’t realise.

Cup Tea Salon is situated just off Belmont Street beside ‘Ma Cameron’s’ and the ‘Old School House’. Cup is a quirky café that specialises in teas but they also sell divine coffees too! There is nothing better to accompany a coffee than a delicious home bake and each time you go to Cup Tea Salon there is a different cake or fancy piece to sample.
