"Situated in a fairly unique area of Aberdeen minutes walk from Union Street but at the same time quieter and residential, it was when visiting a relative I happened upon Cognito and stopped in for lunch. While in theory a ‘coffee shop’, I think that rather undersells the appeal of the place. While the hot drinks are there, it also offers a fine selection of bakes and cakes, ice cream (including a dog friendly one! and hot snacks. I went with the standard ham and cheese panini, which was lovely. The place is definitely quirky, it has a nail salon inside it, with limited seating inside but a nice looking outside patio (how often that gets used in Aberdeen I don’t know with racks of cards on sale. The girl who served was lovely, and not in a fakey customer service way, just genuinely nice, doubling up my side of crisps when I asked for no salad. All in Cognito is a lovely little cafe. I’m not in Aberdeen enough to know if it’s worth going out of your way for, but if nearby it’s def worth a visit!"
