About Contour Cafe
Contour Cafe sits on The Green in Aberdeen's old town, a courtyard space set back from the main street. Seating mixes indoor tables with a limited outdoor area, and the mixed styles have accommodated a party of six. The menu runs from a Full Breakfast and BLT to a Haloumi wrap and pancakes with bacon, with veggie and vegan choices alongside. Coffee includes matcha as well as the regular option. Service is walk-in, and dogs are welcome on site. The cafe stands near the street art and graffiti found around the city.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers keep coming back for the cooked breakfasts, with the Full Breakfast singled out for its generous portion size and flavorful bacon and sausages, and pancakes and bacon praised as among the best in Aberdeen. Close behind, the sandwiches draw repeated mentions, from a standout BLT to a flavorful grilled Haloumi wrap with fresh salad, alongside a wide menu of savoury and sweet options with vegetarian and vegan choices. Coffee and matcha coffee also earn notice. Staff are consistently described as friendly and welcoming, and the space, a small spot tucked into the old town square, is called clean and quick to serve even with a party of six. One visitor felt the mixed seating styles left the decor feeling undecided, but otherwise the cafe is described as a cozy, quirky, busy little hive of activity that repeat and first time visitors alike say they would return to.

“Stopped in for breakfast while visiting Aberdeen and ordered the Full Breakfast. The portion size was huge—far more than I could finish! I had to leave some behind, which is something I rarely do. Everything was delicious and full of flavour, especially the bacon and sausages. A hearty, well-cooked breakfast with excellent taste. Thank you!”

“Lovely friendly and helpful staff, a great choice of savoury and sweet options with drinks to match, it's a smallish cafe with a mixture of indoor and limited outdoor space but catered well for our party of 6.”
