Esslemont Ave0.8 mi from Aberdeen centrelast reviewed July 2026

A rotating cast of guest roasters on the filter list, named down to producer and process, on a bar that treats brewed coffee as the main event rather than a sideline.

An Aberdeen filter bar that names each guest roaster's process, not just its beans.

What we love

  • Guest roasters rotate through the filter list, named down to producer and process
  • Several single origins on filter at once, tasting notes attached, hot or iced
  • V60 pour-over brewed to the scale, not a jug of batch left standing
  • Retail shelf stocks the guest-roaster bags if you want to brew it at home

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.
