Best chai latte

Have had a chai latte since leaving Australia 16 months ago and omg it was delicious! One of the best chai’s Ive ever had! Also had the bean pastry which was delicious!

Came back for lunch and had the breakfast sandwich, very tasty, not a huge fan of the avocano (looks like avo but doesn’t taste anything like it unfortunately)

A Haven of Vegan Deliciousness in Northern Scotland

I wanted EVERYTHING on the menu, but limited myself to a main course, dessert, and hot drink. All fabulous. Super kind staff, great space to sit (even a cozy reading nook in the back) and wonderful selection of goods to buy on the shelves in the back.

Pros: So many choices , Great vibe (music, people, space), Not pricey

Best vegan options in Fort William

We are always overwhelmed by the amount of choices on offer at this cafe seeing as we usually have pretty limited options. With all the yummy looking options I found it difficult to decide what to have! They have a great selection of cakes, traybakes and pastries along with wraps, sandwiches and toasties. On my last visit I had the breakfast sandwich and matcha latte which were both lovely.
On this visit I had the notzarella and red pepper toastie (more of a panini I'd say) and my husband had the curried lentil wrap special, filled with green lentils, slaw and mango and lime chutney. They were both so tasty and we will definitely be back on our next visit to Fort William.

Pros: Fully vegan!! , Fast service , Friendly and relaxed atmosphere

Loved it!

Never normally leave reviews but loved this place so much I wanted to recommend it. Great selection of savoury food including warm food. Amazing cakes. Loved the coffee so much we bought beans to take home. And great decoration and playlist to top it off!

Lovely people, lovely place but overpriced!

The place is nice, no doubt, and we loved the activisty touch!
What we didn't like was the overpriced food and the "Fruit and Nut" muesli which consisted of *ONE* hazelnut (not kidding) and a few raisins...

Pros: Beautiful place, Fully vegan (there are no other around), Awareness-raising books etc

Cons: Overpriced, Lack of ingredients

Lovely wee cafe

Staff are really welcoming and helpful here. Everything is vegan. Lots of pasties and cakes. A wee eco shop in the back for household items. Great coffee and pain au chocolat! Also had the avocano (avocado alternative) on toast which was delicious. Would totally come back again.

Pros: Range of dishes, Great cakes/pastries, Friendly staff

Gorgeous food

This place is kind of tiny, we were worried we wouldn't find anywhere to sit, but thankfully managed to squeeze in at the window . The food is fantastic, the Mac and cheese was insane, and so was the chilli. Only quirk was that the Mac and cheese came with 2 slices of garlic bread (which were incredible btw, immensely garlicky, and the bread was so good), but the chilli didn't. What chilli wasn't taken up a level by adding garlic bread? I spared one of my slices for my partner's chilli, which went down well.

We also grabbed some cakes to go, coffee and carrot. Both delicious but the carrot a definite favourite. Would definitely go back if we were in the area again.

Only place for miles and it’s great

The posh type of vegan cafe rather than scruffy type. Sort of place you’d wish on any town. Food, service, choice, decor all well done. Place to dispel any hair-shirted notions of being vegan.

Pros: Hot chocolate , Choice, Cakes looked great

Vegan yes, but a bit boring

They run out of wraps when I got there for lunch so I only got soup as the sandwiches seemed more like a snack size. The soup was okay but nothing special. To be fair: the bread was the best I had in my three weeks in the UK so far - it deserved to be called bread.
When I asked for more bread (without anything on it) they first wanted to charge me 4£ (in comparison: soup with bread costs 5.5£) 🤯

Pros: Good sourdough bread

Cons: Overprized

Friendly, popular café

I popped in for weekend lunch. The café was busy and seating was limited (it’s a small place). I found a spot by the window and had a breakfast sandwich with soup, slice of cake, and a matcha latte. The food was tasty, but the portions a bit small. Service is friendly but can be slow - I got my cake and latte within about 10 min, but the soup and sandwich took closer to 30 min. I think the kitchen was overwhelmed with the large lunchtime crowd so my order got lost, but the café rushed out my meal once I pointed this out and provided me with a second piece of cake on the house to make up for it. I’d happily return and recommend this café to anyone in Fort William.

Lovely spot for soup and a sandwich

It's a relief to find somewhere vegan in the highlands!

We had intended to have all meals at Wildcat but the menu is limited, so we had breakfast and lunch.

The coffee is excellent and all food is served very quickly by the friendly staff. We liked the sourdough for sandwiches and enjoyed the sweet treats too!

The cake 🤤

The Tunisian orange-almond cake has to be the best cake I’ve ever tasted. Well done 🤩
