Welcome

On North Street in Inverurie, a small white cottage with a goat painted on its sign is home to a specialty coffee house.

Dreamy Goat grew out of a love of specialty coffee, and it takes its coffee seriously without being fussy about it.

The beans come from roasters in Scotland and further afield, chosen with care and ethically sourced. There are espresso drinks of every kind, and a pour-over menu of single-origin coffees from around the world. Beans are for sale too, ground to order.

The food is fresh and unprocessed, and there is cake to go with the coffee. It opens from Wednesday to Sunday. The stone circle at East Aquhorthies and the hills of Bennachie are both an easy drive from the town.
