Patisserie Valerie Aberdeen

The restaurant is in a fantastic location at Union Square, offering a perfect spot to people-watch from the front. They have excellent COVID protections in place, with clear guidelines explained before entering. The coffee was superb and the service was on point. However, the breakfast could use some improvement - the beans were cold and the sausages were overcooked to the point of being hard and oddly flavored.

The restaurant has a nice ambiance, with a friendly waitress and decent food (not the best we've ever had, but still good). It is a bit on the pricier side.

Looked in and got coffee and a sandwich. the service is a little slow to put me, but all orders arrived quickly. this sandwich came with fries and salat. beautifully presented and eating was of good quality. the coffee was very good. they have clean toilets. large selection of cakes. good wine selection. that's next to the train station.

Not often I give a poor appraisal but there are a few things worth mentioning here. The cafe is in an excellent location and very welcoming. The gentleman who seated me was friendly and professional he also said I could stay for max which was good as I was killing time. I enquired about the WiFi and he told me to connect to the shopping mall WiFi which was absolutely pathetic really struggled to get internet. Staff were excellent although what I originally wanted was not available pulled ham on rarebit flatbread. So I opted for a mozzarella tomato and rocket baguette with iced berry tea. The baguette was tough as old boots and the tea tasteless. I then ordered an iced coffee latte and a slice of carrot cake. The iced coffee was a little bitter to my taste and the carrot cake was dry. No reflection on the baker who made this cake as I feel when it was fresh it would have been superb. While I was sitting there a gentleman customer wanted to enter but because he had no internet access he could not enter with the track and trace scanner. I really wish the internet was better for people who don't have the option of using their own mobile data. Anyway no reflection on the staff no complaints. They are the reason for the stars or unfortunately it would have been a star review

Not long waiting to be seated, once we were sitting down we were minutes deciding what to order, it took the staff minutes to take our order. So i ordered the large breakfast with extra bacon and sausage and my wife ordered scrambled eggs and toast. My breakfast was like a cheap hotel breakfast and the tomatoes were super small i couldn't get them off the vines. My wife's scrambled eggs were bland and tasteless. Maybe the chef was having a bad day, the service was better than the food.
