Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Really good homestyle cooking and baked goods, with a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. All the staff up for a chat, and nothing was too much bother.

I often shop in Inverurie, and always eat at the Acorn Centre, but was disappointed yesterday. I ordered tea for myself, black coffee for my husband and 2 cherry scones ( which were hard and overcooked , by the way) I got my order and...the waitress even remembered I had said that we neither of us took milk. When I went to pay on the chit was written 1 latte, 1 americano and 2 scones. Why the latte, I have no idea, but the lady at the till was adamant that I had had a latte, and the waitress even said the same. I even suggested they check the table where the evidence remained, but no. I suspect I was charged for the latte, but as I refused a receipt I don't know. I will hesitate to return however,More

Excellent soup and sandwich with good service. Nice airy venue, not too noisy either. I'd recommend it.

All volunteers which is good. I had the roast pepper soup which was nice. Prices for the big soup could perhaps be a bit cheaper

Visited on Fri 28th August for lunch with my husband. Not our first visit and we have enjoyed lunch and coffee & cake here before. The Cafe is very well organised for these Covid times. Staff were all very friendly & welcoming. We each had...a different soup and both were absolutely delicious. The sandwiches were delicious too and everything is reasonably priced. I highly recommend Acorn Centre and will definitely be back.More

Went in here with my mum and wife for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the food. I had a coronation chicken sandwich with carrot and courgette soup which was delicious. Very friendly staff and good service, price was also reasonable and a beautiful setting.

This lovely place is a delight. The service is warm and friendly with the aroma of coffee. We ordered tea for two with cake. The tea came piping hot and the carrot cake melted on my mouth. My friend was excited by the Bramwell slice...and equally delighted. A wonderful team and refreshments.More

I have eaten here a number of times now. I LOVE the cakes trolley which pops around if you are not there for a meal. Such a choice, baked on site, unusual flavours that really work. Clean, welcoming and tasty. The cost is the same...as other cafes around. We think this is lovely.More

We had the specials which proved to be excellent choices. The hot smoked salmon with cream cheese sandwich and cauliflower cheese crepe came as generous servings with freshly prepared salads. Both were delicious. The service was attentive and we were made to feel welcome. A...very pleasant atmosphere. We will return next time we are in Inverurie and are delighted to recommend it.More

The church has done a fantastic job of making this an incredibly easy place to go for a bite to eat. The atmosphere is always pleasant, and the artwork is beautiful. I’ve been going for years with the kids, and it has become part of...our routine over time to stop in for special events. The staff are mostly volunteers, and so you know they want to be there, and that shows through in the wonderful service. There are so many places to eat in Inverurie, but this is our most regular.More
