Brown Sugar Cafe - Aberdeenshire

Had lovely soup and a scone for lunch here while on a 4 day break in Ballater. Very friendly staff. Definitely recommend.

On this visit to deeside we stopped in past this cafe for tea and a cake , quite a basic kind of place ,staff were pleasant , but 12.50 for 2 teas and dry scones was pretty disappointing so there wont be a return visit .

We stopped off in Ballater and saw this cafe. Looked quaint. Quiet on a sunny Saturday afternoon and the staff were very nice. Only gripes were re the cake choice (only orange cake which was nice enough although perhaps a little dry). Great big slice. Coffee and tea very nice. Would definitely try it again if we are in the area.

This is a very simple breakfast and lunch cafe with basic sandwiches, friendly service and amazing homemade deserts. The prices are very reasonable and they have a good selection of drinks. Parking can be challenging but there are a few public lots nearby. Worth a stop for the deserts alone!

I’m a bit strange in my requests for food. But the girls always pull out the stops and make me what I fancy! Also lovely oat latte !! Here is my go to when I go to Ballater!
