Very cute caffe, really liked the creativity in the menu. Was a fan of the toast(started eating it before being able to take a picture... ops). The matcha was amazing and my Chai Latte was one of the best I've ever had.

Delicious meal on a cold and rainy day!!! The soup was fresh and thick, although I wish it was a larger bowl, but the wrap was a great size and very well seasoned!! This place gets busy so be prepared, but reasonable prices and yummy healthy food!!

Delicious food in a charming cafe with friendly service. We had the stuffing wrap and the mac and cheese, and both were outstanding. Among the best mac and cheese I’ve had in 15 years of being vegan. We also had coffee (a flat white and a latte) and a cake, and all were excellent. If I lived anywhere near Fort William, I’d be in here three times a week.

I purchased an oat milk flat white and it was perfection! Perfect espresso to milk ratio, complete with beautiful latte art! which is rather hard to do using oat milk. I didn’t try their food as we had brekky at the hotel but their coffee is worth the pounds! Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Definitely make a stop there when in Fort William.

Good place for a stop over in Fort William. Very good specialty coffe and a huge variety of teas. Everything is vegan. We ordered a chai latte, a espresso, a carrot pistachio cake (delicious) and waffles. Totally recommended for a stop over.

A lovely little vegan cafe with delicious scones, croissants, cookies and match latte. We loved the little shop with lots of vegan goodies. Staff are welcoming. Definitely recommend.
