"Been here several times with intention of chatting and having several coffees. Seating is upstairs and order and cash desk are downstairs as you come in. Thing is that this facility also has to deal with the take-away service of drinks, ice cream etc and a queue builds up. Irrespective of whether you are sitting in or using take-away you join the same queue which can be out on the street. This can be annoying enough for the first order but for further orders it feels totally inappropriate. The staff are very pleasant and the coffees are quite acceptable but those running the business really need to find a solution to the above issue in my opinion. I know one of my friends suggested we have a look for alternative venues next time we meet, which is a shame as otherwise a great location and ambience. On an earlier visit (ie not June) I mentioned to above issue which I described as not working for the sitting in customers to which I was given the reply Oh well it works for us . I 'm not often lost for words.! Nearly a very good little coffee shop."

Visited on a Sunday afternoon. Excellent ice cream! Coffee was pretty mediocre though as it was burnt. Fast service.

A nice little place to have ice cream by the harbour. They had 2 vegan flavours, chocolate with blood orange or Madagascan vanilla.

Tasty coffee and good grilled sandwiches. We had the opportunity to sit on the balcony which was great because the temperature inside was a little bit on the warmer side… Speisekarte ansehen

Vegan falafel baguette is spot on! great atmosphere with friendly and speedy service. There is a balcony seat with a great view over the harbour. Very reasonably priced. There is vegan Ice-cream which I have not tried.

Only one vegan lunch option but it was so delicious. I had a toasted falafel, beetroot chutney and salad baguette to takeaway and sit on a bench in Stonehaven harbour. I spotted that they had a couple of choices of vegan ice cream too but didn’t try it today.

Found this place when we went for a wonder by the harbour. Lovely cafe with plenty of places to sit outside if you want. They had two vegan ice cream flavours, I had the strawberry and yuzu one. They also had a vegan cake available. Everything was clearly marked and they clarified if we were vegan so they could make sure they took extra measures. Speisekarte ansehen

Great location and beautiful Pretzel pastry. The lad and girl behind the ice cream counter/till were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately today the atmosphere in the kitchen was noticeable in that the staff did not talk to each other once. The lady serving the coffees today was far more interested in trying to sort the music on her sound system than serving our coffees. We waited nearly ten minutes for coffees that should only have taken three or four not surprisingly they were warm and not hot. She barely acknowledged us. Not impressed and very sadly we won't be back.

There is a nice vegan baguette: with falafel, nice vegan cheese, and yummy chilli jam. Basically half of the (many) cakes available are vegan. There’s usually a vegan soup on. Sometimes non-vegan dishes are adaptable to become vegan, so if other options run out it’s not a problem. There are 4 alternative milks: oat, almond, coconut, and soya. Dairy free mochas and hot chocolates available. Option of cinnamon on top of cappuccinos (instead of standard dairy chocolate powder). This is definitely the best place in Stonehaven for a vegan lunch/ coffee/ or cake, and seems to be getting even better. A nice cafe interior and lovely service too.

"Sunday, 3rd September 2023 – 19:00 Meal: Wine Starters – Main – Coffee My friend and I arrived at 19:00 to a busy but not overfull restaurant without a reservation and they accommodated us upstairs. Menus were produced and we ordered a bottle of white wine and a jug of water. 0rders placed for starters and 2 servings of the Italian style fish stew on the ‘Specials Board’ at 26.99 each. Tomato and chilli with promises of loads of different fish. The toss up was between a steak or the stew (which neither of us would cook at home). The table was dirty and needed wiping – this request was placed 3x on the young waitron who eventually produced a cloth slopping water from a bucket in the corner cupped in her hands where she half heartedly wiped the table with water dripping onto my friend’s lap. Hurried mop up with tissues out of my bag. The white wine was plonked on the table – next to the cooler – unopened and no glasses. Several attempts were made to attract the waitron’s attention. Eventually another bottle was produced opened and we were advised the waitron was under age and not allowed to pour wine. Perfectly acceptable had she produced an opener and the glasses with an explanation I would have been happy to help myself – we understand and appreciate these things. The starters arrived and were delicious! The chef then came out to see us and explained that there was no lobster for the stew – we asked for extra monkfish, he then said there was no monkfish left – but could help us with other white fish and crab claws. He said he was down to the last 2 portions, and he would ensure they were hearty. We were a bit concerned and suggested perhaps we settle for the steak which is always delicious. He assured us we had made the right choice and would enjoy the stew. The stews arrived and were ‘hearty’ if being crammed with the contents of a tin of crab claws is your definition of hearty. The promised ‘rich tomato broth with chilli and garlic’ was a watered down version of what was clearly less than a cup of the original broth left at the bottom of the pot topped with water. It was tasteless – lacking in hint of either chilli, wine, garlic or herbs – having lived in Malta I can assure you I have a deep understanding of Med cooking. I guess we were lucky we didn’t have the salty brine of the crab claws as the broth. It was inedible and we were starving so we kept adding salt and pepper – we were beyond the point of returning the food which was a mistake in hindsight. We skipped dessert – had coffees and left. The meal came to nearly £100.00. This was an expensive lousy experience. We paid a generous tip – because they accommodated us without a reservation. Take aways from the experience: • The restaurant service on a Sunday evening at 19:00 should be as good as it is on a Friday at 19:00 • Being a local and having eaten there several times – it is my first choice for a ‘good’ meal – don’t abuse the luxury of local support. • Train your waitrons to clean tables, by wringing out the cloth and not dripping water on your patrons. • Waitrons (even under aged ones) should at least carry a wine opener, and understand that wine glasses should be produced when delivering wine. • Your chef should know better and never, ever assume he can cut costs by selling the dregs from his kitchen. • A poor dining experience costs you more than you think. We would have ordered dessert, and more importantly returned for a second meal in the next week – WE DIDN’T! I have a friend coming from Ireland in November – do I risk taking her to the Anchor?"
