But 474 has grabbed my eye with its quaint decor and that little shop full of promise. There are a handful of seats inside and you can grab yourself a decent lunch here too, but I was set on a pop-in and go, so ordered my mocha, plus a pistachio cookie alongside it. Before leaving, I lifted the lid for a quick pic snap and taste.

The Roost
Another take-away coffee and also a tricky one to fit in my schedule, The Roost near Bridge of Dee caught my eye on one of my circulars by the river: a standalone trailer on an otherwise abandoned street, if you don’t count the patrons of the free car parking spaces that is…
Kava Street Coffee
I had made my first attempt at visiting Kava Street Coffee on Mothering Sunday – a big mistake as the Promenade was heaving and despite a considerable selection of food trailers to choose from, the longest queue was at my destination. I aborted that mission, vowing to return on a weekday.
That did not happen, however, and the next opportunity came on a Saturday; I decided to bite the bullet and do a thing us Poles are not very good at – wait in the queue.
The Witchery by Figment
Spring has sprung in Aberdeen and with it a renewed desire to walk its streets. Which makes for the perfect context for the recent recommendation of a strictly take-away coffee spot – because the only time that is acceptable is when the great outdoors is calling with a wonderful aura.
Gumblossom
Upon placing my order I saw the barista pour the espresso first, before the milk was ready – a big no-no in my book. I was still giving her the benefit of the doubt as I admired the cookie display – there were quite a few creative options to choose from, but I refrained (even if the mini stroopwafel was calling to me).
Cookie Cult
You have probably already gathered my expectations were low… but once my brain really registered the taste, I realised it was absolutely lovely!
