My first job when I moved to St Andrews under the guise of being an arts student was to find the perfect cafe to sip my earl grey and enjoy the creative ambience. Luckily, I soon found Bibi’s cafe on North Street, which fitted the bill perfectly while also managing to cater for romantic lunches and family dinners.

For all aspiring poets and authors, each table comes with a very thoughtful touch – a rolled up poem in a jar to help get the creative juices flowing.  If that doesn’t do the trick, then I certainly recommend the gorgeous cupcakes for a sugar rush to the brain! Or if it’s early in the day then the bacon and blueberry pancakes are a must. On a healthier note, they also do a delicious salad and my favourite snack is their humus, tapenade and warm pitta.
