About Trellis Coffee Shop
Trellis Coffee Shop is a family-run coffee shop at 50 Main St in Ellon, where a glass-room seating area looks over Newburgh and the Ythan River toward a golf field. It opens Wednesday to Sunday, serving breakfast first, with scrambled eggs, black pudding and a sausage patty among the cooked items, before moving to a lunch menu. Lunch includes a banh mi sandwich with pulled pork and a soup of the day, and soup can be added to other dishes. The pastry selection runs to cinnamon buns and scones, alongside home made cakes and biscuits. Dogs are welcome. A gift shop is on site.

Customer Review Summary
Soup is the dish diners mention most, from a mint and pea soup of the day to one called delicious on a chilly visit. Close behind are the pulled pork banh mi, which one reviewer found not dry and not overpowered by condiments, and the baked goods, with fluffy cinnamon rolls, cinnamon buns and scones singled out at breakfast. Others mention a burrito special, a burnt basque cheesecake and a Dubai chocolate doughnut that two friends could not choose between. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly, and several praise the view over the Ythan River and the bright, spacious room. Reviewers also raise a few drawbacks. Service was slow on a busy day, vegan cakes had sold out, and one finds the menu limited in variety. Another found the pulled pork in a cheese toastie cold and overly wet, leaving the sandwich soggy, and suggested draining the pork better.

“Such a great place for a stop after a full day of travelling and visiting. The location is perfect, next to a golf field, in the middle of the nature. It's very clean and the staff is very polite and always smiling. We had the soup of the day, mint peas soup that day, and a Banh mi Sandwich with crisps. The pulled pork was delicious. Not dry, nor overpowering with condiments, just the way it supposed to be done. Definitely worth stopping for a delicious meal before continuing to your destination.”

“The flat white was good. I ordered the pulled pork cheese toastie. Great flavor, thought he pulled pork a bit cold and overly wet, which made the sandwich a little soggy. Draining the pork better would make it a really good toastie.”

“Lovely find today. Service was slightly slow but place was really busy so didnt mind waiting. Soup was delicious. Gorgeous view. Decent car park. Wanted to get a vegan cake to take away but they were all sold out. Lovely wee gift shop. Loved the flooring. Friendly waitress helped us with some directions. Really enjoyed our visit and will be back.”
