Figment

A speciality coffee roastery and cafe in the west end of Aberdeen, roasting its own beans and serving brunch and baking.

Welcome

Figment began in 2017 when Neil Glover left a career in oil and gas after a single cup of coffee changed his mind about what he wanted to do.

He learned to roast, and today Figment roasts its own speciality coffee here in Aberdeen, sourcing beans ethically from growers around the world.

The cafe on Countesswells Road, in the leafy west end of the city, is where it all comes together. Behind a granite shopfront it is bright and calm, what Figment calls a place of refuge, with excellent coffee and food made with care: avocado and eggs on sourdough, breakfast buns, brunch plates, cinnamon buns and scones.

The beans are on sale to take home too. The cafe opens from Tuesday to Sunday, from nine in the morning, or ten on Tuesdays, until three in the afternoon, or four from Friday to Sunday.
