Castle St0.1 mi from Aberdeen centrelast reviewed July 2026

Half gallery, half cafe on Castle Street, where the espresso gets talked about as much as the art on the walls. Baklava on the side, and an owner who works the room in several languages.

An Aberdeen gallery-cafe where the espresso outshines the baklava next to it.

What we love

  • Espresso quality draws specific praise from regulars, not just polite mentions
  • Baklava served alongside coffee as a genuine pairing, not an afterthought
  • Doubles as an art gallery, so there's something to look at while you drink
  • Owner known for holding court with customers in several languages

Fearless Coffee★★ Specialty

A coffee-first spot on Rosemount Place built around beans from indie roaster Dark Arts, for anyone after a clean shot of single-origin espresso or a slower pourover.

Third Circle Coffee★★ Specialty

A record-player soundtrack sets the mood, but the coffee does the work: batch brew and long black get the same attention as espresso, with guest roasts rotating in from other Aberdeen independents rather than one house blend.

The Wichery by Figment★★ Specialty

Figment roasts its own beans in Aberdeen every week, then pours the single origins through espresso and pour-over instead of just bagging them for retail, with a proper food and wine list to keep you around.
