点评:We have our favourite coffee stops on our very frequent trips up and down the A90, but they are all becoming so busy at lunchtimes (no bad thing - I’m glad they’re doing well) that on Thursday we decided to try somewhere different.
The Grassic Gibbon centre is a little way off the road, but we were so glad we made the effort. The cafe is small but lovely, the staff are so welcoming, and our coffees and scones were excellent. The young man serving us was so helpful and friendly.
We also had a look at the shop - they have a really good range of cards, most of which I’d not seen elsewhere (I especially liked the Claire Arbuthnott ones and bought three), and plenty of small items that would be good as stocking fillers.
This was such a peaceful and relaxing hiatus in what was an otherwise busy day. We’ll definitely be back.
翻译:在我们频繁往返于A90公路的旅途中,我们有几家常去的咖啡馆。不过现在这些地方在午餐时间都变得极其拥挤(这其实是好事——很高兴它们生意兴隆)。于是周四那天,我们决定尝试一家新地方。
Grassic Gibbon中心离公路稍有些距离,但我们很庆幸自己特意绕道而来。那里的咖啡馆虽小却很温馨,工作人员也格外热情友好。我们点的咖啡和司康饼都棒极了。为我们服务的那位年轻男子既热心又友善。我们也逛了逛商店——那里的贺卡种类非常丰富,其中大部分我在其他地方都没见过(我特别喜欢Claire Arbuthnott设计的那些,还买了三张),还有许多适合当作圣诞袜填充物的小物件。
在原本繁忙的一天中,这段时光真是宁静又令人放松。我们一定会再来的。
