Spider on a Bicycle is situated on Aboyne’s Station Square, and since it was opened in 2017, has been renowned for some of the best coffee in Royal Deeside. We offer cakes & bakes, breakfast, brunches, lunches with ingredients sourced ethically and from local suppliers wherever possible and most importantly always served within a very welcoming atmosphere.
Set up by a pair of local sisters in 2017, within what was the original train station building in Aboyne, (the old waiting room in fact) the ethos has always been to provide a cosy, informal and genuine space where everyone is welcome (including the dog!), to meet, eat and enjoy.
Spider on a Bicycle has been owned and ran by the current owners since September 2023. In that time the focus has been to ensure that Spider on a Bicycle remains (and always will be) a warm, welcoming space for all members of the community and visitors Royal Deeside to come and enjoy.
Apart from wonderful coffee, we seek to provide an all inclusive menu selection with plenty of options for all dietary profiles. On a normal day 50% of the "Calorie Cabinet" will be suitable for vegan profile. Two of our best sellers - both made inhouse - are our Gluten Free carrot cakes and oat bars. We always have a significant range of alternative milks and use vegan / GF products wherever possible.
The same ethos is applied to our food menu. There really is something for everyone and we commonly hear people commenting that there is "too much choice"! Our salad of the day and soup of the day will always be Vegan friendly and is served with delicious artisam breads.
You may not know that Spider on a Bicycle is also available for private functions / occasions in the evenings - that is if we are not doing one of our very popular Curry and Quiz nights. We have been encouraged to gain an alcohol (premises) licence so we look forward to being able to offer you something a little bit stronger!
Whenever you visit you can expect to be welcomed and well looked after - we hope to see you soon.
