Enjoyed a really lovely Christmas Afternoon Tea today. The food was delicious and the glass of fizz ( non alcoholic), pigs in blankets, Christmas cake & mini mince pies all added a lovely festive touch.
Would highly recommend it.

Leaving this review in the hope that it is well received and hopefully not a reflection on the usual standard given these difficult times. Usually I wouldn’t mind paying £12 for a panini and a drink if the ingredients were high quality but unfortunately everything was very basic. Despite the fantastic setting and beautiful cafe the food would be expected from a builder’s cafe. Paninis arrived in cheap bread (the kind you would get from a freezer), the filling was absolutely minimal and very basic salad on the side.

I attended the Corner Tree Cafe on Saturday with 4 friends to celebrate a 40th birthday. The cafe was just perfect, small and intimate with lovely accommodating staff. The afternoon tea was delicious and BYOB was a great addition too 🥂🍾 will definitely be back again 🥰

Nice place but coffee was not at all hot, was very busy so didn't complain, think I'd go and sample afternoon tea sometime as it seemed popular.

Lovely cafe. Bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside. Good food and a choice of fancy tea's and coffee's. Very nice atmosphere.

Been to Treehouse twice to dine outside but on both occasions the service was extremely slow. On the second occasion we left and got excellent service at Orka coffe shop nearby.
The food is good value and staff are very polite but I suspect they are understaffed. Won't give it a 3rd try. Sorry!

Had a lovely afternoon tea here with great vegan options and soup. Staff were friendly and attentive and the cafe is bright and clean. There is a beautiful shop attached to the cafe which sells everything from quirky gifts, to furniture paint. Be warned that it might cost you more than you thought as the shop items are hard to resist!

Fantastic afternoon tea. Choice of sandwich filings and a whole array of tasty cakes and scones. Unlimited refills of tea and coffee made it excellent value for money.

Quite enjoyed our breakfast, if not slightly on the basic side. But the coffee was great and the service was really good. We actually got to side outside in Aberdeen. Bonus! 😁

This is my absolute favourite for a breakfast treat! The pancakes, French toast, eggs...everything is delicious and you can't have just 1 coffee. Staff are always lovely and it's a great atmosphere to sit in

Lovely little cafe with friendly service but no significant effort for vegans. They have only one vegan item currently on their specials menu which is always soup, every day. When I asked over DM about this, they ignored me and haven't responded. Great if you're a meat eater but disappointing effort given the demand for vegan food nowadays.
