"On a recent leisure visit to Peterhead I dropped into the Symposium Coffee House. The good: lovely staff and they serve large flat whites. Almost no other cafe does this. An eight ounce flat white might be the tradition, but it is too small. The crispy bacon bagel was very nice. The not so good: I didn’t enjoy the coffee. I don’t know which blend is being used, but you could do better. The coffee had 6 shots in a 16oz mug. I wonder what size the shot is? At home I use 18g of coffee to 36g of water then top up the rest with steamed full fat milk in a 12oz cup. There was too much water to too little milk, and the milk was semi skimmed. Full fat really is a must to make a decent coffee. I needed four sachets of sugar to make it palatable. Although honey for pancakes was on the menu, none was available. I wondered if the coffee making was poor at this branch so I nipped along toFraserburgh for a comparison. The staff were lovely again, but the coffee wasn’t. It was the same quality as the Peterhead branch. I have come to the conclusion that getting a decent coffee in Peterhead is probably a difficult thing, but have noticed in the other reviews that people really rate the coffee. My first decent flat white was back in Costa Coffee in Aberdeen, where they use full fat milk and a decent blend, with a decent ratio of milk to water."

Had never been here before but since we were in the area we decided to give it a try, both had cappuccino and shared a large pancake and both were excellent!! Will definitely visit again when in Peterhead. Staff were lovely and friendly too. Great place for a coffee stop :

A wide variety of coffees, lattes,teas etc, and a great selection of home bakes. Pancakes tasted like rubber although pretty popular wasn't to my taste. Lovely seating area, although you couldn't see out the windows for condensation. Overpriced for what is is and Starbucks prices to match but not near close.

The staff at this restaurant were fantastic, but unfortunately, the food quality was disappointing. The Canadian pancakes were cold, the streaky bacon was undercooked, and the crispy bacon bagel was not crispy at all. The bacon had a strange smell. The cappuccinos were more like milky coffee with no froth. Paying £20 for inedible food was not worth it, so we sadly won't be coming back. Visualizza piatti

This coffee shop and the other branches of Symposium Coffee Shops my friends and I have visited, have been amazing. Great coffee,great fresh homemade bakes and instore pancakes, great staff in all the shops we visited great atmosphere. Highly reccomend by myself and my pals and visitors we haven taken to the shop. Dont forget you can take home their own selected ground coffee or beans blended by themselves. Very happy customer.

Immediately following my order being taken and being told to sit at a table, that particular member of staff promptly left the premises. Subsequently. it was clear that staff training was being undertaken (one on one) but I sensed that all was not well. Customers came and went and it took over half an hour for my order to arrive. I was told that they thought I was with some other customers??!!? . Although apologies were made and I was seated at a table directly in front of the counter throughout, I was not impressed with the experience.

"Sunday, 3rd September 2023 – 19:00 Meal: Wine Starters – Main – Coffee My friend and I arrived at 19:00 to a busy but not overfull restaurant without a reservation and they accommodated us upstairs. Menus were produced and we ordered a bottle of white wine and a jug of water. 0rders placed for starters and 2 servings of the Italian style fish stew on the ‘Specials Board’ at 26.99 each. Tomato and chilli with promises of loads of different fish. The toss up was between a steak or the stew (which neither of us would cook at home). The table was dirty and needed wiping – this request was placed 3x on the young waitron who eventually produced a cloth slopping water from a bucket in the corner cupped in her hands where she half heartedly wiped the table with water dripping onto my friend’s lap. Hurried mop up with tissues out of my bag. The white wine was plonked on the table – next to the cooler – unopened and no glasses. Several attempts were made to attract the waitron’s attention. Eventually another bottle was produced opened and we were advised the waitron was under age and not allowed to pour wine. Perfectly acceptable had she produced an opener and the glasses with an explanation I would have been happy to help myself – we understand and appreciate these things. The starters arrived and were delicious! The chef then came out to see us and explained that there was no lobster for the stew – we asked for extra monkfish, he then said there was no monkfish left – but could help us with other white fish and crab claws. He said he was down to the last 2 portions, and he would ensure they were hearty. We were a bit concerned and suggested perhaps we settle for the steak which is always delicious. He assured us we had made the right choice and would enjoy the stew. The stews arrived and were ‘hearty’ if being crammed with the contents of a tin of crab claws is your definition of hearty. The promised ‘rich tomato broth with chilli and garlic’ was a watered down version of what was clearly less than a cup of the original broth left at the bottom of the pot topped with water. It was tasteless – lacking in hint of either chilli, wine, garlic or herbs – having lived in Malta I can assure you I have a deep understanding of Med cooking. I guess we were lucky we didn’t have the salty brine of the crab claws as the broth. It was inedible and we were starving so we kept adding salt and pepper – we were beyond the point of returning the food which was a mistake in hindsight. We skipped dessert – had coffees and left. The meal came to nearly £100.00. This was an expensive lousy experience. We paid a generous tip – because they accommodated us without a reservation. Take aways from the experience: • The restaurant service on a Sunday evening at 19:00 should be as good as it is on a Friday at 19:00 • Being a local and having eaten there several times – it is my first choice for a ‘good’ meal – don’t abuse the luxury of local support. • Train your waitrons to clean tables, by wringing out the cloth and not dripping water on your patrons. • Waitrons (even under aged ones) should at least carry a wine opener, and understand that wine glasses should be produced when delivering wine. • Your chef should know better and never, ever assume he can cut costs by selling the dregs from his kitchen. • A poor dining experience costs you more than you think. We would have ordered dessert, and more importantly returned for a second meal in the next week – WE DIDN’T! I have a friend coming from Ireland in November – do I risk taking her to the Anchor?"
