I visited this restaurant for the first time since Covid and was extremely disappointed. We ordered hot drinks and cakes. The cakes arrived quickly, but we had to wait about 15 minutes for our drinks, by which time the cakes were nearly gone. The rock cake was very hard! The staff seemed disorganized, with one young waitress wandering around aimlessly. The tables were too close together, with little privacy as we could hear the conversation at the next table. The prices were also much higher than before, more expensive than most other coffee shops. For example, £9.99 for soup and a filled roll. I will think twice about returning, as the whole experience was a complete turn-off.
While on a photography trip north of Aberdeen and feeling hungry, I came across the sign for Parkhill Garden Centre Coffee Shop. It was an amazing place with plenty of seating, friendly staff, and very clean with some Covid measures still in place. I tried a plain scone with butter (see attached image) and it was delicious - it practically melted in my mouth. It was so good that I bought two more to take home for my wife and myself. If you're in the area and see their sign, don't hesitate to stop by. They also offer the usual cafe lunches, traybakes, and more.
I stumbled upon this charming garden center cafe by chance. We were warmly greeted by a friendly waitress upon entering. Despite only ordering tea and scones, we were pleased with both. The scone of the day, ginger and date, was clearly freshly made and incredibly tasty. The prices were reasonable and the atmosphere was lovely. This place will definitely be added to our list of favorites. We look forward to returning soon, as the lunches at the table next to us looked delicious!
We visited the restaurant when we were looking at plants in the garden centre at Parkhill. Found a table fairly quickly and our order was taken soon after. Our items arrived fairly quickly and all were fairly good. Not as busy as usually is so a good Visit.

Well another fab breakfast served up. It’s so good going to a restaurant that serves up quality produce. Everything was freshly cooked and piping hot so tasty. The staff were excellent, pleasant efficient. I am sure it won’t belong before were back again.
This is our favourite stop for breakfast on our way to Aberdeen. I had the cooked breakfast and my wife had a sausage and egg roll. Everything we had was excellent and good quality local produce. Staff as always very friendly.
It’s sad that when you’re sitting enjoying your fine piece and coffee that the tables are being packed away and the fridge cleaned as if as paying customers we were being rushed because staff wanted to go home.
At last somewhere that serves a decent vegetarian breakfast look forward to going back. Only minus was normal breakfast offer includes juice, breakfast tea or filter coffee the veggie one doesn’t.
