Cocoworks: Your Local Favourite
Cocoworks: Your Local Favourite
For many, Inverurie railway station is simply a place of travel. But tucked away within its old stone walls is a little gem that for the last fourteen years has brought warmth, flavour, and creativity to this corner of Aberdeenshire: Cocoworks.
Bright, welcoming and full of charm, Cocoworks isn’t just a coffee stop—it’s a community-driven space that’s as much about people as it is about their homemade treats. Whether you’re a commuter grabbing your morning espresso, a cyclist on a mid-ride pit stop, or a regular popping in for their favourite lunchtime bowl of soup, Cocoworks delivers on its promise to bring a little joy to the everyday.
A New Lease of Life at the Station
Cocoworks has breathed new life into one of Inverurie’s best-known historic buildings. The station’s original charm has been lovingly preserved while being paired with a modern, quirky vibe—think friendly faces, pops of colour, and the aroma of great coffee wafting through the air.
The idea behind Cocoworks was simple but powerful: to create a positive space that makes people smile. And it’s fair to say they’ve achieved exactly that.
Coffee with Character
At the heart of Cocoworks is a genuine love for quality coffee. Using beans from regional roasters, every cup is carefully prepared to deliver rich satisfying flavour—whether it’s a strong morning flat white or an indulgent mocha to warm up a dreich afternoon.
You’ll also find a selection of sandwiches, savouries and traybakes, all made with the same care and attention. From freshly baked croissants to our ever-popular brownies, the food offering is homemade, generous, and always evolving.
And if coffee isn’t your thing? They’ve got that covered too—hot chocolates, teas, cold drinks, and even some specials that reflect the time of year or what's been baked fresh that morning.
Where Community Meets Creativity
What sets Cocoworks apart is its energy and warmth. It’s a café that feels lived in, loved, and full of life. The considered decor, along with the subtle timeless music evokes a feel of comforting nostalgic days.
In the summer months, the platform-facing doors are often thrown open, letting sunshine in and conversation flow out onto the tables. It’s a favourite with dog-walkers, families, cyclists, and even railway staff, who often pop in for a caffeine boost and a friendly chat.
And while it may be small in size, Cocoworks punches above its weight in terms of community impact. It’s a space where customers are remembered by name, where local events are promoted, and where good vibes are baked into the very atmosphere.
A Real Inverurie Favourite
Since opening its doors, Cocoworks has become a staple of station life—and of Inverurie more broadly. It’s one of those rare spots that feels like it belongs to everyone. Whether you’ve got five minutes to spare or an hour to unwind, you’ll find a warm welcome, great coffee, and that elusive sense of calm and creativity that’s often hard to find in a busy world.
From the upcycled furniture to the hand-lettered signs, everything about Cocoworks feels intentional and personal. It’s not just a place to grab a drink—it’s a place to pause, connect, and recharge.
Looking Ahead
With a growing following and plenty of love from the local community, Cocoworks looks set to remain one of Inverurie’s most treasured independent cafés. Their recipe for success? Keep it simple: make good coffee, support local, and always put people first.
Whether you're commuting to Aberdeen, meeting a friend for a chat, or just in need of a pick-me-up, Cocoworks is the kind of place you’re always glad you stopped at.
