Simpsons Tea Room

Popped in for a cup of coffee, lovely wee place. Was meaning to post a picture of my scone, but it was eaten before I remembered. Really tasty, very relaxed, lovely waitress.

It was lovely. It has been around for 25 years. The napkins matched mom’s sweater. Tony Bennett did not show up. Highly recommended!

I ordered the ham and cheese toastie with lentil soup, the toastie was amazing and the lentil soup was the best i’ve had from any other places !! my boyfriend got the chicken fillets and says they are better than zanres, both had a lovely meal!

Before we arrived I specifically called to see if they were dog friendly. Was told no and we could sit at an outside table. On arrival at 3.15 as soon as we walked in the waitress straightaway looked at her watch. Well that made us feel very welcome! We ordered broccoli and Stilton soup which was lovely and scampi and chips, also very nice and milk shakes - lovely. When I phoned I also asked what time they stopped serving but was told no time just come along. We ordered food at 3.20pm. Three more folk arrived at 3.40 with a dog. They were not turned away but a waitress came and asked if we had any objection to a dog coming in. Of course I did, my objection was that we were specifically told no dogs inside. I was not happy about this because I don’t like leaving my dog in the campervan especially when it’s muggy. Another moan is “why can’t staff smile at you when serving you” apparently it takes less muscles to smile than to frown! I also didn’t like the fact that the guy (wearing a grey BOSS outfit) went through the cafe to go outside to smoke and then went back into the kitchen. If you’re going to smoke go out where you can’t be seen. I don’t think I will return.

It was very busy, one had coffee & cake the other coffee & scone, the scone was heated but ended up too hard to eat.

My husband had a coffee and a Maltese tray bake. I had a hot chocolate and a lovely apple n cinnamon scone, my sister also had a hot chocolate and a coconut tray bake. We all really enjoyed our cakes and the staff are really welcoming and very helpful. It a lovely café and we will definitely be back the next time we come to Peterhead.

Simpsons Tea Room is everything you want in a cosy cafe, delicious home cooked food, the warmest, friendliest service and a lovely, welcoming atmosphere. The staff go above and beyond! A perfect little escape.
