We also host Scotland's only outdoor weekly produce farmers market that runs throughout the year every Wednesday from 10am to 2pm; Torphins Market is held in our forecourt . . whatever the weather! ! !

We look forward to welcoming you soon!

We would just like to say a huge thank you to all our customers last Saturday for all their amazing patience and understanding when a cyclist who on arrival at P22 became seriously unwell, and while we waited for the ambulance to arrive. He is now at home recovering thank heavens.

When the water runs out and you keep going until you run out of plates and cups ­¤ś▓ with only an hour to go it's beer, wine or soft drinks!!!

User

we went in to take part in the fantastic Easter trail that platform 22 had organized and had so much fun. of course we had to have coffee and cake afterwards, the cappuccino bundt cake and the lemon coconut loaf were both delicious, and they are always so child friendly there. I love looking around to see what new, beautiful things Emma has made this time.

User

What a wonderful little find this morning. Ladies you were a treat to find. More people need to come and visit.

My cranberry and white choice scone and latte were amazing. My little girl made short work of the shortbread too!!!!

Keep up the great work. X

Thank you very much for the fabulous service and delicious food. I think your coffee shop has a homely atmosphere and a unique menu. My little boy enjoyed meeting Emma's dog too ­¤ÉČ

We look forward to visiting again when we're in the area xx

Stopped off heading south for a coffee which turned into lunch, as usual the food was delicious especially the cake's ’┐Į.

Just need more excuses to head north and drop in.

User

Popped into Platform 22 yesterday for lovely coffee and gluten free cake. Nessa the dog loves it too, especially when she gets her cheese treats from Emma. Just discovered that Lilys Dough can also do gluten free pizza! - can't wait. Shona Smith x

User

Popped in past this lovely quirky cafe on our travels to banchory this week and what can I say, the staff were lovely and the food was delicious! We took our excitable yet loveable dog with us too and he loved it. Very warm and welcoming. Will definitely be back!

User

Popped in after a Sunday walk. We were made to feel very welcome. Food was scrumptious (my warmed Stilton scone and soup were perfect after all that fresh air!) and the staff were happy to customise a couple of dishes to meet our youngsters' needs. Platform 22 has a lovely ambience too. We'll definitely be back and would recommend it to others!

Always great food & welcoming hosts

User

Lovely place, really friendly great menu and fab cakes. What more could you ask for?

User

Lovely atmospheric place well used by locals and also many cycling and walking groups for whom it is a regular stopping-off point. Emma's home baking is hugely popular and David's home brews and wines add a nice extra twist.

User

It's always a joy to visit Platform 22! Wonderful coffee,delicious soup and cake today and Emma is always such a welcoming host. A little gem and one we are very lucky to have. If you've not been, do go - I thoroughly recommend it.

What an amazing lunch we had today!! The food was outstanding! The owner/ staff were so friendly! And my dogs had a whale of a time! Deco coming back! Thank you so much!!

Oh and can I just say their bread....... There is no words to describe how good it is!!

User

I've been to Platform 22 quite a few times now, often taking family and friends with me. The food is always excellent (although I can never choose between so many delicious sounding dishes!) and the service is very friendly. Platform 22 is one of my favourite places to eat out and I would recommend it to everyone.

User

Had fantastic freshly cooked pizzas with very interesting toppings and lovely nibbles washed down with some very nice real ale. Service was attentive and friendly and the cafe had a lovely vibe. Highly recommend and we look forward to going again.

User

Great fresh food, friendly service and quirky relaxed atmosphere. Perfect stop off on our road trip.

User

Finally got to stop at platform 22 today. I absolutely loved the fruit tea and the raspberry and pistachio slice, it was gorgeous. We also got to take Baloo in (our dog). Staff very friendly and helpful. I will be back again and would throughly recommend it.

User

Fabulous - can't believe I've not been in here before. Food quirky and delicious (Stilton and fig scone and coffee for me) and the vista on the approach from Midmar must rank as one of the best views in Scotland. Will be back.
