North Point

Got lunch here and it was amazing. I had a sandwich with Brie, turkey and jam and it was amazing. So much delicious Brie, warmed, great bread, and added a cup of soup for only a pound! Also enjoyed a lovely cup of tea, of which there are many varie (teas) (haha). GET THE SCONES. Best scone I have had yet in the UK. Also, very pleasant and friendly service. Plenty of space inside, super cute, not to mention prince William and princess Kate might have gone on a date here!!!

Cute little stop for lunch. Good soup, good bagels. Pancakes looked yummy. I love that they have the option of «haggis burrito» on the menu.

North Point («NP» is a lovely little spot! I am an American in St. Andrews visiting my little brother, who is a studying at the university, and NP has been my go to spot. The service is great, the staff is friendly and just always in a good and positive mood. It is always nice and warm and cozy in the café, and they provide good quality free wifi — which is crucial for a tourist!
The food is also tasty, fresh and ready quickly. I’ve had the tea, vegetarian plate, the (quinoa?) soup of the day, the roll and butter and the carrot cake. All the food was well made, and the carrot cake was OMG so good!
Highly recommend NP for tourists in St. Andrews, but it seems the locals love the spot too.

North Point is a nice coffee shop close to the University in St. Andrews. They have breakfast and lunch options. I liked the pancakes they offered. The staff was very kind and food was served quickly. Enjoy.

North Point is one of my favorite cafes in St Andrews! I don’t think I’m alone in this judgment though, because it is almost always crowded – especially difficult to find a seat during the mad lunch rush. If you manage to make it in at opening, or well after noon, you are more likely to find a seat. The staff is very friendly towards students – I’ve been allowed to sit with a pot of tea whilst reading or studying for hours at a time without any bother. All of the ladies who have served me have always been lovely, and sometimes they will even remember me and my usual order! Also, they have the best deal on hot drinks in town – only £1.60 for anything from a cappuccino to a hot chocolate (although, I am quite bitter that the price has risen by a whopping 10p since last year). They also recently started hosting pancake nights, keeping open after-​hours to serve a menu consisting exclusively of pancakes! I have made a point to clear my schedule for these – the banana-​toffee full-​stack is worth dropping everything for. NP is certainly one of the places that I will miss the most when I graduate from Uni and move away from St A.

Great place to come for breakfast, lunch, or a scone and tea. Fantastic food that has a great price. The breakfast burrito is excellent and the special saucy certainly has a kick. The scones, cakes, and crumbles are freshly baked and to die for, with new specials everyday. Their milkshakes are also very good. It’s usually quite busy and crowded, and service can be slow at these times but at generally very good.

A very small place with a lot of people. I ordered the Northpoint American Brunch, which consist of fried egg, two pancakes, and British bacon. Nothing too exciting and the taste was good. Perhaps if I come again and get something more exciting I would rate higher. The price was reasonable.
Also my friend told me that Kate and Will were here for meals.

Inoffensive. It is just fine if you need a quick lunch before visiting the castle. But there’s certainly no need to go out of your way. Not sure why exactly William & Kate met here for coffee — maybe just because it was close by?

Its the closest thing to a dinner that you can find in St. Andrews. It would be nice for brunch except the food is mediocre, overpriced, and only serves small portions. The staff is nice though and I do beleive there is a view to the castle which makes the ambiance nice.

Kate and will met here for coffee! Once I read that I was sold! I planned a lovely day trip from Glasgow to st Andrews just so I could experience the little college town where they met. They even have an article on the front window about will and Kate eating there.
Oh, and the food was good too! I think I had a tasty sandwich, but I honestly couldn’t tell u bc I was so excited abt the royal couple.

An extremely popular café with a good location near to the sea front. The menu is great and the food always good. I can recommend the ‘button’ hot chocolate with cream and melted cadbury’s buttons! It is hard to find a table at times so get there early. Another problem is that when it is busy, it is hard to have a conversation because it gets pretty loud. Not a great atmosphere because it is basically a room with tables and chairs in it and minimal décor. It is worth going there for the food though and there is a happy hour with drinks for £1, always good for the poor student!

UMMM ok so I still think the food is ridiculously over priced but…
But today I came here with a friend and guess what? THEY HAVE A HOT DRINK HAPPY HOUR!
I got super BOMB hot chocolate with maltesers and REAL whipped cream for 1£!!!
+1 star!

If you need some simple homemade food that isn’t fried, then this is the place to hit. The grilled vegg pannini’s is the best thing since… errr…sliced bread, and their homemade soups, muffins and scones are gorgeous. They also make really nice lattes and some of the best chai I have ever had.
Décor is simple, artsy and pleasantly colorful. This is a prefect spot to meet up with friends and have a nice afternoon. It can get busy on the weekends and it is small so I recommend you get here early.

The well thought out and original menu makes this café stand out from the large number of chain eateries in St Andrews. It is busy and there it is often necessary to queue for a table, but it is always worth the wait. The breakfast deals are affordable and with the quick lunch available for under £5 it also makes an economical choice. If there is a downside it is that noise from the wooden floors and crowds make conversation over lunch a little difficult!

North Point is located right at the top end of north street, less than five minutes from the pier, so a beautiful location. It is also near the library and the scores, so is popular with students as well as tourists. The big draw is the happy hour where all large hot drinks are £1 — big draw as coffee in st andrews can be pricey. The café will usually advertise local events and serves great food and drinks, especially chai lattes!

The North Point happy hour is infamous with St Andrews students — any large warm drink for only a pound in the late afternoon. Unfortunately it is usually very busy and can be quite crowded — but if you do find a place to sit, the breakfasts especially can be a great start to the day. Serves fair trade products and many healthy options — the honey-​topped yoghurt with müsli is a personal favourite. Also does a hot chocolate supreme — with all thinkable extras.
