We paid £18-45 for two toasted sandwiches and two drinks, and frankly it wasn't worth it.The sandwiches were awful. I don't even think they were toasted. The tomato was cold and the vegan cheese wasn't even melted - not sure what brand they are using, but there are a couple of lovely vegan melting cheeses which they could opt for instead.The side salad also tasted old.The other thing is, it's not near the beach, so if you're looking for a beachfront view - you won't get it here.

Went last thing on a sunday after a cold walk on the beach so got a hot chocolate which hit the spot , didnt have any food so cant comment on that , service was friendly and the cafe was

Love this cafe, it has a good selection of cakes and home made scones. It also does a range of food that is always good value and tasty too. I love a bacon and egg roll washed down with a nice flat white, not good for my waistline but very good for my spirit ?. Outside is a little play park and seating area and it's very popular in the summer with the wee ones. My grandson loves his ice cream from the shop with a blue sauce topping. It's a great wee friendly place so try it as I'm sure you will be very pleased you did

Popped in after a trip to the beach. The kitchen closed at 230pm but they still accepted our order at 220pm. Lovely paninis and scones and great latte. Not expensive either. Friendly staff and would definitely recommend

This is a large modern, coffee shop within Balmedie Leisure Centre. It was clean and bright with colourful plastic chairs and an outdoor seating area with children's play area. It was busy and lively when I popped in with a friend for lunch. We both had the baked potatoes which were nice. Staff were polite and helpful. The homes bakes looked nice but the piece of Victoria sponge I had was rather dry and disappointing. However this is a nice coffee shop and I would return if in Balmedie.

It's good that Balmedie has a coffee shop. But ignore the brown tourist road signs. Unfortunately it's wrongly named - this is not on the beachside at all. The coffee shop is around a mile from the beachside, in Balmedie village, not easy to find. It's nearer the main road. We drove there to explore the beach, worth a visit, and the windswept dunes are interesting. Some of them are quite high and give views back to the village or out towards the sea. It's also not far from Trump's famed golf course. But the sausage bap bought before the kitchen closed had two tiny chipolata style sausages in a dry roll - certainly overpriced. No butter? The coffee was excellent, which made up for it a bit - until visiting the toilet (cubicle only) and discovering the remains of someone else's lunch had been deposited there in all its sausage-shaped glory. I know this is not the fault of the Beachside's owner - and they're not responsible for the misleading brown road signs either, but it did spoil the visit. I think it closes at 3 pm so make sure you get there before that. Avoid the sausages. Maybe try a scone?
