Great food, went for the chicken pesto sandwich and a tomato and mozzarella panini, with bottled drinks from the cabinet. The owner was lovely and very helpful and the atmosphere was very inviting and homely. We took cakes home which are homemade by the owner and they were delicious. Looking forward to visiting again.

Such a lovely place to be. The owner is simply the kindest, food is delicious. He even bakes the cakes himself and honestly I couldn't speak enough about the passion and heart he put into this place. I personally fell in love with a coffee that tasted great especially in such a cozy space. I'm definitely going to be a regular guest of the Frogmoon Cafe because of their exceptional, home-like atmosphere. In a picture the owner is teaching my friend how to play a melody on his local piano. The whole interaction was simply amazing and extra friendly.

One of my favourite places in Aberdeen. The food is good, massive vegan selection, good ambiance and interior design - and the owner is the best. I’m always sad it’s not more busy! Stop thinking about it and go to Frogmoon!!

I went there for the first time today and it was honestly a gem to find! The desserts are top quality all home made, the latte was also delicious and the cafe manager was the sweetest, most welcoming gentleman! The atmosphere was so calming and before we knew it, it was closing time! Lost track of time! Thank you for welcoming us to your most humble cafe! Can’t wait to come back again for more tasty treats!!

I can not emphasize enough how pleasant the experience was here . Me and my lady were looking for coffe shops around the area. I had to throw away 3 coffees . They all sucked. I won’t bash their names here but frogmoon was off the beaten path so me and my lady decided why not just try one more.. This place couldn’t be any more of a hidden gem. Adam is engaging and welcoming. He’s a brilliant baker , chef, carpenter, man of many languages and stories. He’s fluent in Arabic , Russian , polish and English. But most importantly fluent in the art of telling stories. He’s my favorite person that I’ve met while over here in Scotland and I want to keep going back . The coffee here is fantastic. He takes his time , simultaneously being quick and precise. His shop is adorned with all sorts of frog moon images-even the saucers and cups. His story about the origin of the name is heartwarming only second to his warm personality. If you haven’t tried this place , do yourself a favor and try it out. You can’t say you love coffe or cake without coming to this place. The cakes are out of this world ... I have never had a better cake in my life . I didn’t even want cake until I had his now I’ve gone back multiple times to gorge myself. Try the forest moss cake...

Delicious food and drink just a hop outside the city centre. A real hidden gem! The forest moss and mole mound cakes were scrumptious and unique, and the coffee was lovely. We had heard about the cakes in an online vegan group and had to come try them while we were visiting the city. The interior was tasteful, cozy and inviting. Seemed very welcoming to students, as there were outlets by the tables and lots of space. Will visit again if in the area!

Wow! What a great place. Kicking myself for not visiting sooner. We were late but there was no issue changing to a later time, plus you can just walk in. Cheap prices, delicious food and friendly service in a lovely atmosphere. A real hidden gem and totally vegan! The deserts are AMAZING! We were lucky enough to be there at the same time as an art exhibition opening (in photos) and were invited to stay later and offered wine and food. Definitely visit this place it's a 5 minute walk from Aberdeens main street.

I can’t recommend this place enough! It has a lot of vegan options, from very healthy salads to typical Scottish dessert. All vegan! The atmosphere was perfect and the service outstanding It is probably my new favourite restaurant
