The vegetarian brunch menu is the decoy: underneath it runs a properly serious programme of Scottish-roasted speciality coffee, good enough to pull specialty press north.
Aberdeen's brunch crowd doesn't know they're drinking some of the city's most serious coffee.

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.
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.
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.
