Cool Gourmet in Aberdeenshire

First visit for coffee & scones & we were not disappointed. Great selection of freshly prepared food. Pleasant staff & nothing too much trouble. We will certainly be back.

Very friendly helpful staff, excellent scones !! Friend's dog always gets a treat and water too 👍

Great little cafe. Good choice of food at great

Great scones, partner had a giggle asking what was in the Haggis, the young girl said meat but wasn't sure what.

Really enjoyed my breakfast. Nice Latte and excellent home made scones with a wide variety of homemade jams all presented and supported by excellent table service. Highly recommend!

You can sit in (socially distanced of course) but we enjoyed Cool Gourmet's great take away service which uses fully compostable crockery. All food is cooked in-house with locally sourced products whenever possible. Friendly and very helpful staff. Highly recommended!

In Beautiful Stonehaven, we were looking for the chip shop that sells Mars Bars in Batter ... not that we crave that particular delicacy ... but there's also a good reputation around the fish suppers supplied there and, though it was early in the day ... Well.Our drive around the scenic harbour at Stoney took us past a homely looking eaterie happily offering any "Cool Gourmet" some tasty hand-delivered-and-table-served fare. Speciality soups like their Cullen Skink and about six other choices at least looked well-made, wholesome and yummy ... and we chose their lovely Asparagus one and another delightful dish of Tattie and Leek. It must be said if all their stuff is as good as their soups and the Victoria Sponge we sampled, they are onto a winner. Had I been ravenous, I would have had a portion of their Beef Stovies ... But I will return one day for a temptingly described "Full Scottish Roast Dinner" from the expert hands of these talented and enthusiastic chefs.Their motto is: "If we sell it, we make it" ... and so, I would certainly wish them All The Best in this quirky, recent and excellent venture.

What a nice surprise. Pulled up nearby to walk my dog to Dunnottar Castle and walked by, then saw the dog friendly sign. Went in for a mocha and cake and Kelp (my dog) got treats and water. One treat really got her taste buds going - see pic. Would recommend.

As a family we make a point of having scones and pancakes followed by ice cream cones as we leave. Scones are best in Grampian along with home made jam. Try to visit weekly as not only are the scones fresh daily with locally sourced ingredients but the staff are super friendly and the cafe is quirky quaint.

I'm currently staying with friends here in Stonehaven and was brought here for lunch today - the outside of the tearooms is so different to what's inside, I had no idea this little gem was hiding in here! 😄Gorgeous tearooms and very quirky/unique, with vintage china on shelves behind the counter and other teacups, mugs and milk jugs made into lots of light fittings in the ceiling, so unique!There's plenty of room inside and various amounts of seating available, so whether you're on your own or in a larger party there's lots of choice of where to sit.Service: the waitresses were so friendly and accommodating, they checked that the soup I wanted to order was free of mustard and didn't make me feel like I was being awkward when I asked. Service was fast and efficient. The kitchen is in the back room so there was no noise from appliances etc, just a 'ding-ding' on a bell when an order was up 😄Food: the food was A-MAZ-ING! My friend ordered the ham and lentil soup, and I had the butternut squash, lentil and thyme soup, both with soda bread. Everything is homemade and to perfection. Later we had a cup of tea with their scone special-of-the-day which was apple and cinnamon, again baked to perfection and huge! 😋 They always have a massive selection of homemade jams as well, in traditional and different flavours - I had damson jelly jam and my friend had bramble jam.Bottom line: this tea rooms makes me wish I lived 300 miles closer so that I could visit every week! Friendly staff, delicious food and a unique atmosphere, you won't regret visiting here!
