The time has come to start reopening The Coffee Apothecaries!
We have been patiently waiting and trying to work out the right time to open and here we are! Our priorities have been the safety of the staff and customers and also keeping the business afloat with our whole team intact. Whilst we have been closed, our staff like many others out there, have been on furlough. The final piece of the puzzle for us is that from July the furlough scheme can support people working part time while protecting the rest of their income. This is enabling us to take small, tentative steps back into the world by opening for takeaways at the weekend. Our Udny cafe is opening this Friday to Sunday from 10am to 3pm with the same planned for the weekend after, with our Ellon cafe also joining in the fun then.
We are very excited to welcome you back. We have planned a delicious takeaway menu, have got the coffee in and are baking our hearts out to be ready.
Alongside the tasty and exciting things we are very conscious that we are still in a partial lockdown and that the safety of everyone involved is of uttermost importance. We have been through our safety measures with a fine toothcomb and we have everything in place to make sure it's all safe when you visit us.
Alongside our new menu we are starting up our whole cake orders too. If you fancy a whole cake or a whole box of brownies or anything else of ours that you love and have missed, check out what we can offer here and drop us a line on cakes@thecoffeeapothecary.co.uk!
We are also very excited to say that we will be doing a few 'ready meals' that you can take home for your dinner! This weekend we will be making beef chilli and a lentil & aubergine moussaka, as well as sticky toffee pudding with toffee sauce. Each dish will be a single portion. If you fancy getting your hands on one of those for your tea, drop us a message on hello@thecoffeeapothecary.co.uk and we'll make sure there's some ready for you!
