Following the very enjoyable visit to the nearby Fearless Coffee, I took a long walk before reaching Third Circle Coffee – my original destination on that particular cafe exploration of Rosemount… The minimalistic decor gave off a hipster vibe (which tends to correlate with good barista skills, but I have not done a study on that!), albeit the strangely intense techno-style music* chinked that perception somewhat.

Fearless Coffee
I decided on a longer circuit around Rosemount and surrounding shopping areas; and so, my chosen route took in another cafe I had never heard of, mere 250 yards from my prime destination, called Fearless Coffee – and here is where I went first.
Moossh Cafe
I liked the presentation when it was served not long after – an earthenware mug and pretty latte art in rich chocolatey concoction. But the visuals were misleading!
Ride Coffee House
This place has popped up in a few conversations with Aberdeen(shire) people that have become aware of A Black Spot; they would ask if I had been yet – suggesting it was worth a visit.
Longparke Farm
I’m sad to say that I enjoyed my Americano more (I drained it quite quickly actually, so the coffee itself is not an issue); however, the place is large, very comfortable and accommodating of solo fliers and families with kids alike.
Hideaway
The name should have been a giveaway, but it was only when I stepped inside this small-ish – and hugely popular (read: packed!) – cafe when I realised it’s the baby of Piccadilly’s Hide Restaurant, which I had the pleasure to dine and break fast before.
