few, expensive vegan options

During our visit, there was only one vegan cinnamon roll available for breakfast. There was also only one vegan option for lunch. We were a bit disappointed with the selection. Unfortunately, the matcha wasn't very good either (it tasted only of milk and not of matcha). Nevertheless, the staff is very friendly.

Delicious food

Lovely food. Sadly let down by service. Staff much more interested in chatting to themselves and taking social media images than being friendly. But the food was fab

Sorry, no.

Overpriced and sadly rather tasteless salads. This kind of place can be so good, but here it is a baby-sized plate of oily salad. I appreciate St Andrews rates must be high, but this fine-dining version of the wholefood restaurants of old is very poor value.

Pros: The coffee, Polite staff

Cons: Flies on salad, Price

Excellent lunch

I had the takeaway lunchbox and a cinnamon pastry. All the salads in the lunchbox were delicious and varied. Really good portion size, worth the £9. The pastry was excellent too!

Pros: Tasty food

Cons: Limited seating

Great wee place with locally sourced foods and vegan options

Loved their ethos and the coffee and vegan cinnamon swirl were fabulous.
I was too early to try the lunch items such as salads as these weren't available at 1130. I'd have gone back but it's so small I doubted I'd get a table as a solo customer and several tables were occupied by students using laptops who werent for moving so I felt a bit of pressure to eat up and go as queues forming.

Pros: The ethos and atmosphere and decor all lovely, Great coffee and several vegan options for cakes, Lunch menu looks good and healthy wholefood based

Cons: Very small and limited spaces, Use by students with laptops not keen to move on

Fresh, healthy, organic

By far the vegan-friendliest spot in town. Went for breakfast and stayed for lunch – delicious pastries and flavourful salads

Good food, freshly made

Five Acres had a short menu of salads, one stew, and one toastie sandwich. Everything was vegetarian and some were vegan. A good lunch.

Cute little cafe, perfection

Food is delicious and can tell it's home made with love! Loved my breakfast. Later I went back for a taste of the delicious cake and salad box! Truly gorgeous 😍

Super salads in St Andrews

The food options here change daily, as much of the produce comes from the owners' farm. I always go for a selection of the salads: they are super tasty with well combined ingredients.

All food is vegetarian, with vegan options and things that contain dairy clearly marked.

Pros: Great ingredients in tasty combinations, Only fully vegetarian cafe in St Andrews, Lovely building

Cons: It's popular and a small space!
