No cake but good coffee - Edit
I popped in for coffee and cake on a Sunday morning and the decaf oat latte was lovely but disappointingly there wasn't a single dairy free cake or scone option let alone vegan.
Read moreNice place if you want soup but there was nothing vegan on the menu that I could see and staff just shrugged and offered a gluten free cake option so maybe not aware of gluten and dairy intolerances being different issues?
Pros: Nice space, cheery and clean, Decent coffee
Cons: No dairy free options when asked, except soup, Staff unaware of dairy vs gluten intolerances, Nothing on regular menu marked vegan

Cosy cafe in Kirkwall with tasty vegan options and a local charm - Edit
We enjoyed a lovely visit to Real Food Cafe, tucked away at the back of the Judith Glue arts and crafts shop, which has beautiful locally handcrafted items for sale. The cafe has a cosy, welcoming atmosphere, making it a nice spot to relax or get some work done with their free Wi-Fi.
Read moreTheir daily soup is vegan and the one today was delicious—I had the carrot and courgette soup, which was full of flavour. The bread was locally made and served with a vegan Stork margarine option, which was a thoughtful addition. They offer both oat and soy milk for coffee, including decaf, and the coffee itself was smooth and well-roasted.
While the range of vegan options isn’t huge, it’s great to have a local cafe in Orkney that caters to vegans, especially when options can be limited. The staff seem knowledgeable about vegan products, which is always appreciated. A good choice for a warming meal and a relaxed atmosphere!
Pros: Tasty vegan options where there aren’t many around, Friendly staff and local charm, Relaxed atmosphere with free Wi-Fi
Cons: Options aren’t advertised well so best to ask
