Downstairs is takeaway only, with plenty of cakes, scones, savoury options and drinks to choose from (they do quite a lot of gluten free stuff too, so it's good for coeliacs), while upstairs there is a cosy little room full of old fashioned knick knacks for people who want to eat in.
I especially liked the washing line with clothes on, and there was also an old fashioned sewing machine - the comfortably messy unpretentious style made you feel as if you were eating in someone else's house rather than a restaurant.
As seems to be a bit of a habit for St Andrews cafés/restaurants, there is no website, but I took a picture of the menu again!
I was quite impressed by the range of fillings on offer - with a baked potato (one of my favourite comfort foods) you could have three toppings included in the price, so I went for smoked applewood, cheddar and roasted veg
I liked the presentation with the potato in the bowl, and the toppings were both generous and tasty. The one thing I would have changed is that the roasted veg were cold - I would rather they were heated up. I also had a HUGE glass of freshly squeezed orange juice - with curly straws and ice (top marks)!
Christopher went for a sausage, egg and bacon roll...
...when I asked him for comments I got the single word "nice" - definitely nothing to complain about! Also he got a double yolked egg which apparently is lucky!
Also with his breakfast tea the milk came in a tiny little bottle - something which pleased me almost as much as things being served in jam jars!!
Christopher then had a cheese scone which was massive and had a really delicious crusty cheesy top
I'm not quite sure why they brought jam with it, but each to their own! The service was really quick and friendly and all in all it was a relaxing and cosy atmosphere. Also look what I spotted just as I was leaving
Definitely worth a return visit just to sample these!!
