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!
