Did Someone say Coffee?

12:56





 For me, coffee is not just a hot beverage to keep you awake throughout the day. It is a way of socialising and getting together with friends you see every day or friends you haven't seen in a while. It brings people together and can be used as a form of escapism where you can temporarily remove yourself from daily life to sit back and relax whilst drinking a hot and comforting cup of coffee.

Chains such as Starbucks, Costa and Café Nero try to provide a certain atmosphere for customers through their choice of furniture and décor. These usually consist of large sofas that you can sink into and abstract pictures that make your mind wonder. These are ideal settings to get lost in conversation in but I can’t help but love local cafes that have a quirky design and unique character.

When wondering the streets of Aberdeen one afternoon, my friend and I came across this quaint and hidden away little coffee shop just off Belmont Street called The Coffee House.



When we stepped inside we were greeted by a warm and welcoming air that was filled with delicious foody smells. The place was full of happy chatter that was also contrasted with people in headphones doing their study. It is a great space to get away from your surroundings and look for inspiration. There is a homely atmosphere which I believe is created by the decorative cushions that are perfectly placed on the seats and the pleasant dim lighting.





As you approach the counter there is a wonderful selection of tempting treats such as cookies, cakes and buns. Chalk boards behind list a wide variety of delicious food and drink. Unlike most cafes, The Coffee House provide vegan options on a majority of dishes.
The coffee tastes brilliant (I recommend the lattes!) and the staff are also very accommodating and to top it all off they also offer a student discount!
So next time you’re walking around Aberdeen and find yourself at a loose end, or you’re looking for a change of scene to help you study I highly recommend you stop in to The Coffee House for a tasty refreshment and to soak up the homely atmosphere!
