Have had such lovely visits to Shelter Coffee recently. First with my Sister after a walk through Seaton Park, and last night before Candlelight Concert at St. Machar Cathedral. If you find yourself near Old Aberdeen, please do pay Shelter Coffee a visit. A beautiful wee cafe, excellent hot chocolate and customer service! Loved the panini I grabbed for lunch. Highly recommend this local gem! Look forward to returning to try the Turkish breakfast soon.
Fab cappuccino. Not too hot or cold!! And a great fried egg roll. Both for less than 6. Outdoor seating too! Fabulous!

Super cafe in Old Aberdeen High Street. Lovely coffee (Caber), and a delicious and healthy Turkish Breakfast sets us up for the day. Also they run a loyalty scheme with free coffees as rewards.
