Loopty Lou's Soft Play Centre

good coffee outside the city centre doesn't always announce itself. loopty lou's in boddam sits along station avenue, part of the buchan braes development that pulls people in from peterhead and beyond, and the coffee here has quietly built a following that keeps coming back. you won't find this crowd driving out to boddam for the sake of it if the cup isn't worth the trip. the regulars are loyal in the way that only comes from consistency, not novelty. it's the kind of place where the coffee is taken seriously alongside everything else on offer, which is rarer than it sounds. worth timing your visit around a flat white on a slow weekday morning.
