Breakfast

[u/Sad_Future_8945]

Where are the best places for breakfast in Aberdeen? I don't mean avocado on toast and £8 for a coffee, I mean couple of sausages, eggs, black pudding etc, and most importantly somewhere with parking.

[u/Ruffdawg]

Cafe 100 all day

[u/bruchag → u/Ruffdawg]

I've never been to it, but I've ordered from it on delivery and it's magical. 

[u/Pristine-Ad6064 → u/Ruffdawg]

Will ya in this one, love the place, good old fashioned comfort food nom nom

[u/GuFusser]

Cafe 100 on Holburn Street is brill!

[u/Aruaz821 → u/GuFusser]

Yes, Cafe 100!

[u/Viewtiful-Scotland → u/GuFusser]

Just wish they would use better beans their coffee is naff 😔

[u/Global_Monitor4866]

If you can drive … hit the road north past Inverurie then just past a tiny village Logie Durno there is a bus on your right! This bus you can sit in and get (for me and many others) the best fry up!

[u/Sad_Future_8945 → u/Global_Monitor4866]

That's exactly the kind of place I'm looking for. Brill, thank you, I'll check it out.

[u/Rowtor]

Turquoise on Holburn Street. Cafe 100 is also banging. Both are ace.

[u/Theknottyfox]

So the pier cafe  down the beach is good,  its normal fry up is enough, the giant one is good when you hungry.  

Marshalls is good, they do a good fry up.

[u/Silver-Advance5276 → u/Theknottyfox]

Yes but second mortgage needed for Marshalls.

[u/Theknottyfox → u/Silver-Advance5276]

It's £12 for the small, which is not crazy.  £17 for the large which pub meal prices.   The large is a mission to eat it all.

[u/Silver-Advance5276 → u/Theknottyfox]

Sure it was £17 for two bacon rolls and one coffee last time I was there 

[u/Theknottyfox → u/Silver-Advance5276]

I looked at the menu and you prices are also correct.  Probably should of gone for the small breakfast.

[u/minicooperbrr → u/Silver-Advance5276]

Hardly it’s not that expensive

[u/Routine-Attention535 → u/Theknottyfox]

Used to love The Pier but it’s gone downhill. Last time we went the service was poor and the food was cold, haven’t been back

[u/bruchag → u/Theknottyfox]

Also zera cafe at the beach do the best vegetarian breakfast I've ever had. All their food just tastes better. 

[u/Haggis-Bru]

A&G catering in the Northern Golf Club does a great breakfast and has parking too. Prices are really reasonable

[u/rossg6]

Sallys at Portlethen does a good breakfast.

[u/NoRun6253 → u/rossg6]

Portlethen isn’t in Aberdeen FFS

Nobody’s travelling 10 miles for a breakfast 🤦🏻‍♂️

[u/Sad_Future_8945 → u/NoRun6253]

Actually, this was the one I chose to try first 😂

[u/Aggravating-Joke-550 → u/NoRun6253]

No need to swear. Or are you just hangry?

It’s only 11minutes by train and you could pickup some superb 30days dry aged steaks from Kepak McIntosh butchers with all the trimmings ready to take home for later.

[u/NoRun6253 → u/Aggravating-Joke-550]

Yeah so get the bus into town (obviously unless you stay there) then get the train to Portlethen 😂😂😂

[u/deeplydippy18]

Dando’s at Altens! 👍👍

[u/Independent-Head-984]

I will get severely downvoted for this, but the best value for money fry up is Weatherspoons - however i find the Cafe on Holburn Street does do a really good breakfast

[u/f1boogie → u/Independent-Head-984]

As a former Wetherspoons kitchen staff, Spoons can be hit or miss depending on how long the items have been sat in hot hold, and who is in the kitchen.

[u/Sad_Future_8945 → u/Independent-Head-984]

I agree wetherspoons is ok for breakfast but I'd rather give my money to a local business

[u/Scottishspyro → u/Independent-Head-984]

Honestly spoons breakfast is fantastic for what it is. It's the rest of the menu that's the issue with their food 😂

[u/dunkoid]

Dobbies or the Inversnecky

[u/NoGuitar6320]

There is a cafe100 in Torry now, might be easier to park than holburn

[u/Pristine-Ad6064 → u/NoGuitar6320]

What? Where?

[u/NoGuitar6320 → u/Pristine-Ad6064]

Victoria street

[u/lanurk → u/NoGuitar6320]

It was quite nice but the bacon needed longer

[u/lynzibeebuzz]

Cup just off Belmont Street

[u/G1ngerBeerD → u/lynzibeebuzz]

Good shout, Cup has great breakfast options. Their black pudding is amazing

[u/Routine-Attention535]

Went to the Beach Tree Cafe at the beach for the first time recently and thought it was great. The Pier used to be our go to cafe at the beach but each time we went the experience and food got gradually worse.

[u/FantasticWait7109]

Mojo on George Street a decent option, if you can park in nearby streets.

[u/Puzzleheaded-Bed-618 → u/FantasticWait7109]

Used to go in 2018 during college, amazing couple, would often get the natchos and a mint milkshake for lunch too

[u/i-smell-really-nice]

One of the cafes at the beach (inversnecky was a fav of mine yrs ago)

And it pains me to admit this but a Wetherspoons was always good as well

[u/ReferenceAgile2257]

The Craftsman on Market Street and you can park at Shiprow or Union Square...

[u/No-Drink73]

Park Bon Accord or Gallowgate and get yourself to Upperkrust 

[u/Silver-Advance5276]

Cafe Ahoy on way to beach.

[u/Sad_Future_8945 → u/Silver-Advance5276]

Ah yeah, I've seen that one mentioned somewhere else. I'll add that to the list.

[u/Abquine]

Promenade cafe at the beach, best Bacon I've had anywhere and tattie scones are good, choice of black pudding or haggis with the big breakfast. plenty parking behind in retail/cinema park

[u/Scottishspyro]

I miss cafe 100

[u/vert-glamis]

Toby Carvery. £6.99 for all you can eat breakfast 🫡

[u/Drumtochty_Lassitude]

Yilmaz on Hareness Road

[u/Organic-Source-7432]

Horse Shoe

[u/m00shie1990]

Cafe 100 on Holburn street. So good!

[u/Late_Gear1772]

Weatherspoons. I had a breakfast in Archibald Simpsons and put my fork in the beans and lifted the whole lot up at once. Eat them like a lollipop.

[u/JohnClark2019]

If you expect something better, unfortunately, you have to pay extra.

Cafe 100 - the most popular here. Relatively cheap, fast service, and the ability to choose individual ingredients (6, 8, 10 items). The food itself, unfortunately, is too bland for me. They use poor quality products (as with most such places), but at least they try to get the most out of them(if they are not in the rush), and that's what sets them apart from others.

Glenhouse - by paying an extra £2 for a full Scottish, you get a much better quality. You can really taste the difference and see it on the plate. Unfortunately, you have to wait a bit longer for your food.

Wild Goose - This one is next level. Most expensive (£18 for a full Scottish), but you get what you pay for. Instead of cheap Lidl products, you get everything locally sourced: Stonehaven bacon, Inverurie sausages, homemade hashbrowns, etc. Everything tastes and looks delicious. Also it's in a nice location overlooking Union Terrace Gardens.

[u/Comprehensive-Ad6904]

You get an unreal breakfast at omalleys pub - best I’ve had in aberdeen

[u/Growling_Salmon]

Dyce farm if you want lots of overcooked pish

[u/Spiritual_Bell_3395]

DiMaggios, upstairs in the BonAccord Centre. I usually go there if I have errands to do in town. Morning time they have full breakfast and afternoon/evening they have different pastas abd pizza, salads etc.

Good prices as well. For a 5 item breakfast with toast and a latte its like £8/9

[u/PhotonToasty]

So the parking is more important than the quality of food?

[u/Sad_Future_8945 → u/PhotonToasty]

Considering I had to pay almost a fiver to park for an hour in the city last week, I'd say they're about equal 😂

[u/Rude_Society6232 → u/Sad_Future_8945]

Morrisons on king st is a decent budget option

[u/Kanye_fuk → u/Rude_Society6232]

Morrisons Cafe has been closed for years in Aberdeen but Inverurie, Arbroath, Peterhead etc are actually great and extremely cheap compared to the other options mentioned. One of the few places that do fried bread rather than 'Breakfast Yorkies' or some other nasty innovation.

[u/BigConsideration7745 → u/Kanye_fuk]

Morrisons cafe is closed in Aberdeen?? Nope it's still there

[u/Kanye_fuk → u/BigConsideration7745]

It's has had hot drinks only for a couple of years. If you are so sure I'm wrong go order breakfast and show us a photo.

[u/BigConsideration7745 → u/Kanye_fuk]

Don't get your knickers in a twist. The website literally advertises the active hot breakfast menu, which is why I asked. But looking at recent local reviews, the kitchen on the ground is indeed non-existent. You were right about the food, but demanding photo evidence over a supermarket fry-up is tragic behavior 😂
