filo Coffee House builds its menu around Transform Food's employment-training kitchen, feeding people first and using the work to train them into hospitality jobs. Coffee comes from Inverness Roasting Co, supplied straight rather than showcased.

Aberdeen's draw here is Transform Food's training kitchen, not the espresso.

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.
