The Wildcat in Highland

A lovely little vegan cafe in the heart of Fort William high street. As a Muslim family we were really grateful for the existence of this cafe, as otherwise halal options were very limited in the town especially for breakfast. Three of us had the lentil soup with sourdough bread which was really filling. My dad had the cornish vegetable pasty which was also quite tasty, and my brother had the a waffle with fruit and cream - I was surprised at how soft and fluffy the waffle was, having not been very well acquainted with vegan food before! The drinks were also really good too - I loved the hazelnut hot chocolate especially! Plus, the focus on sustainability was very welcome e.g. details of where key ingredients such as coffee beans come from. In general the food is a bit on the pricey side, but given the focus on sustainability as well as how tasty everything was, it was definitely worth it. Thank you Wildcat!

Cute and cosy cafe with amazing vegan food options. The vegan mac n cheese is amazing!

Really great vegan cafe with good variety and nice food. They offer a great selection of local chocolates and products to buy, also some supplies for camping. It's quite full, so we got lucky to get a table.

Small, trendy and delicious vegan restaurant that clearly stands out from other restaurants. The dishes are tasty, cooked with fresh produce. We will remember their incredible kale salad and carrot cake for a long time! Thank you for this comforting moment! Go there with your eyes closed.

We had a delicious breakfast (waffles with cherry and chocolate coulis). The chai latte and cappuccino were also very good. Warm places with lots of pastries. I recommend it to you!!

It was delicious! And the people working there were really nice (+ have really good taste in music).

Delicious breakfast in the hidden back part which was a pleasant surprise as the place seemed full. So check it out!

Such a nice place. Great sweets and great coffee. Best place to celebrate the completion of the WHW.

This was such a great find while we were visiting Ben Nevis... The staff is lovely, the food is delicious.... I highly recommend this place... Their menu is wild with so many veggie options and I will also compliment their efforts towards sustainability... On our return we went there again and the staff was so kind and patient with our big group and made the amendments to accommodate us... Loved it and Ty again for the experience:)

Korean tofu with avocado and sun dried tomatoes 😋

Amazing food! Tastes very fresh and perfect balance of all the flavours!

Great place to stop in and get coffee. It has a pretty good atmosphere with great service! Recommend the Vanilla Iced Latte.

Absolutely delicious food with a wonderful array of options. The staff are lovely and friendly and the cafe is decorated really nicely. A great option for vegans or non-vegans alike!

Service reeeally slow. I think they all need coffee but I think they're probably refusing to drink it cos latte was pretty disgusting. Cakes were lovely.

Felt like a place sourcing healthy ingredients and dishes from all over the world. Chana masala was sooo good!!

Lovely vegan spot!! We had the soup, mushroom and rosemary wrap, Korean scrambled tofu and a bunch of treats, coffee and beet lattes. It was all delicious and people were very nice. A busy spot for sure. Soup was especially amazing!

We came to Wildcat for a quick lunch and it was really good! Nice surprise to come across this vegan coffee shop when arriving in Fort William

Food tasted very good, dog-friendly, nice atmosphere, friendly staff.

One of the best coffees we had in our 7-day trip to Scotland. Definitely recommend if you’re around.

Lovely little cafe in the centre of Fort William. When I spotted their Dear Green sign outside I just had to go in! Dear Green is one of the best coffee roasters in Scotland but it also takes skill to make a good coffee, regardless of the beans, and The Wildcat did not disappoint. The staff were all super friendly, helpful and chatty. I didn't get the chance to try the food menu but the carrot cake was delicious alongside an excellent coffee! Will be back! P. S. Great name for the cafe too!

Very cute caffè, 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.

I was amazed to find this fully vegan gem in Fort William. The soup and Mac ‘n cheeze were delicious, as were the cake and coffee. They also have a little store full of vegan products. Great vibes as well!

Coffee was great and the food was delicious. The staff was tremendously friendly and helpful, and the cafe had such a cozy vibe.

We didn't have to wait very long for our delicious breakfast of waffles! This was a quick, easy, and yummy breakfast right in the center of town.

I had the Special Wrap (nozarella and marinara) and it was delicious. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Would go again

It's nearly a year later, I'm living in California now, and I still yearn for the curry I had at this place in Fort William. After a long stint of hostels and protein bars, the Wildcat nursed me back to health.

Beautiful cafe serving delicious food, drinks, and selling a little this and that from vegan brands. If you’re travelling the highlands and after a vegan home-cooked experience, this is a must-stop.

The food was very good and we didn't have to wait long. Nice and relaxed atmosphere. The person with blue hair serving us was very helpful and kind. If definitely recommend it, especial the waffles and cinnamon swirl Thank you

Good coffee and lovely staff! ☺️

Nice place but overrated, people not very friendly. We preferred the old deli on the other side of the road.

Great relaxed friendly atmosphere. Cracking food and would definitely recommend. Worth a visit if you’re in the area. Thanks

We came from Portugal to Scotland and found a vegan place that suited our style 5 days later in Fort William. We made sure we came back the next morning and had no regrets. What an incredible and essential place in the world 🌍 Wonderful staff, a very well-designed space. A dream in the heart of Fort William. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants an unusual atmosphere with quality and compassion. Thank you ☺️

Lovely little cafe 5 min.walk from the station. Very good food and great value for money. I had a red pepper / veg soup with some bread followed by amazing flat white (even asked about their coffee beans) and coffee&walnut cake. Friendly service and clean place. Would highly recommend.

Best coffee! Such a gorgeous little cafe with a vibrant and cosy atmosphere. Great selection of cakes and sweets, and the special of the day sounds delicious. Perfect spot for a cuppa

This is the cutest little cafe! The coffee is great and the saag aloo pasty was incredible! They have an extensive breakfast menu and lots of great baked-goods. Really loved spending a morning here. The staff are so kind!

Super service, super vegan food by great people. Oat milk as a standard - as there is no planet B

Very cosy place. Nice eco design. We only ordered soup with sourdough, but it was a good choice. Soup was warming and aromatic. And the sourdough bread was great. The best I ever got in UK. Staff was helpful and very friendly. Also it's dog friendly place so we could have a meal without rush and without leaving our dog in a car. Thank you!

Really great little vegan cafe! Dog friendly. Recommend the curried lentil wrap! Good selection of vegan products at the back to take home as well.

Very nice Vegan Cafe in Fort William.

First time back since 2019! If in the area worth a stop. Still awesome!! :) lovely little cafe that has an excellent selection of goodies. With good vedgi selection! Turmeric and beat root lattes are excellent! Can’t go wrong with a date slice or red velvet cake.

Nice food. Veg soup was very tasty as was the curried lentil wrap. The lemon cake was delicious. Reasonably priced. Flat white was really good. Cappuccino was presented really nice. Not many tables but worth the wait.

The Wildcat is a gem in Fort William! The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made us feel right at home. The vegan options were fantastic—creative, flavorful, and satisfying. The coffee was top-notch, and the desserts were a perfect sweet treat to end the visit. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great food and a relaxed vibe in the Highlands!

Came in after travelling up from Norfolk we had the lemon cake and a scone with jam it was amazing subtle flavours and really tasty we also had a decaf tea which was the best tasting tea we've had since arriving in Scotland we also had a beetroot latte which was so unusual the taste was creamy and earthy and tasted really good the price was very reasonable and definitely recommend going here if your in the area will be back again soon xx staff where friendly and helpful

While it appeared like a lovely shop, the staff were SO awkward, as if they didn’t want you to be there. With not a smile in sight, you’d think they were doing you a favor serving you at all. Definitely dampened the mood so we left right after getting our coffees.

Ummm, WOW! A vegans DREAM! Everything is vegan. The staff are fantastic. Barista was incredible. They have a decent selection of clean, vegan, eco friendly (seep, loofa co) etc food and household products, as well as gifts. Love this place and highly recommend.

Great café with nice service and super delicious cake!

Small American't for £3.50. I don't mind paying for ethical coffee but expect more than a thimble.

Great place with a huge choice of hot drinks and food! Super recommended

Very nice surprise in Fort William! Tea-Room-pastries and vegan snacks! We stopped for a snack! Pumpkin spices latte and cake slices: Spirulina and cherries (amazing) and cherry apples! Delicious! Cozy atmosphere and there is a choice of sweets! The only difficult thing is the choice 😉🫶🏻 we will go back tomorrow! I want to try their Matcha latte and another treat! One of the vegan paradises! A break is essential in this cozy and warm place!

Psychedelic tunes, nice delicious food. Big up Fort Willy

Great coffee and cake. Very cosy setup!

Delicious coffee beautiful atmosphere. But the service was a bit slow. There was a photo-shot. That can be the reason

What a great taste of coffee… We have been travelling around Scotland this week. It is the best coffee I tasted in Scotland so far

Absolutely top notch. Vegan breakfast that will hug you and knock your socks off at the same time, cozy atmosphere and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend

The atmosphere and service were really good, the coffee too. But unfortunately the food wasn't tasty for us - we ordered the Scottish breakfast, soup + "salmon" sandwich, and cakes (with a huge amount of sugar).

Unsure how this place rates so highly, maybe it’s the food and cakes, because the coffee was terribly burnt and there were 3 other customers served before us.. (fellow aussies you’ve been warned)

Great food! The curry wrap may be my top ten meal anywhere. Also pumpkin spice latte is the best.

Nice little cafe, coffee was good, cakes and food looked good too

Very nice café with good food and cozy interior. We could have spent hours here just relaxing.

Pretty good vegan coffee and peanut butter brownie!

Superb, stunning breakfast and lovely friendly staff. Would really recommend 💯 keep up the good work ❤️

This was the highlight of Fort William. Had a wonderful breakfast there with muesli and a Matcha Latte! Both super delicious, service was outstanding, atmosphere was nice!

You're vegan? You'll most likely be happy here! No need to ask or anything. My suggestion: Have coffee and cake here and look at people (and their dogs!) roaming Fort William. Had a few visits here and it's modern and a little alternative without being too hipster or annoying, good for all. Had coffee and hot chocolate and cakes and were happy all around. It might be a little cramped for some people, which is the single downside I could think of. Didn't have any lunch here, but from what I saw and smelled from other tables, I would definitely try it.

Top food and coffee here. Give yourself a break from the fat and grease and delight in the tasty veggie rolls and pasties.

£3.50 for 200ml of burnt coffee,

Located in the middle of the high street. Good food and good coffee!

What a joy to find this fabulous Vegan eatery while on holiday in Scotland. We had the hazelnut hot chocolate and it was divine. I wish we were there longer because the food options looked delicious. The staff were so helpful and friendly, highly recommend a visit, and you don't have to be vegan!

I don't always go for vegan food, but due to dietary requirements it is good to have the option since I often need to eat vegetarian. I was very impressed by the creative options here, they were very tasty. This is a perfect spot if you're looking for a more sustainable, responsible, and most importantly delicious meal in the town.

10/10 delicious.I had the Zalmon and cream chez bagel. Was unbelievably good. The zalmon was lightly pickled carrots I believe; much better than processed mock fish IMO. Highly recommended.

Amazing place. My husband said the coffee he had there was the best one he had in UK so far. I ordered a smoothie and it was delicious. The cake and the toast are very good as well. We had breakfast there and we tried to go back in the afternoon for another coffee but we arrived after 4pm and they were closed. Sad to wasn’t able to go there one more time before leaving Fort William.

By far my favourite place in Fort William! Amazing bakes and lunch 😊 always coming here for coffee and food when we are in town :) Lovely staff as well, always a pleasure 💜

Delicious vegan restaurant with nicer choices on the menu. Really enjoyed it. It’s a very busy place so we did have a walk first then came back and were able to get seating. Definitely worth the wait.

Best flat white coffee in Scotland , good service and atmosphere.

We had delicious cakes and bagels here 😊🌱❤️

Best Salted Caramel Cake ever. Truly.

Unexpected gem. Some of the best vegan food I’ve had in the UK!

Overrated The pastries had no taste despite was filled with veggies The cake felt like it’s been outside for days-dry. Coffee was way too hot that it should be, flat white felt more like a cappuccino made milk. Not sure how this place had such a high rating

Cute little vegan cafe. Got takeaway Chai Latte ( they make their own Chai mix in house) super creamy and Cheese and Onion Bake, really yummy.

Cute 100% vegan Café with amazing coffee and lovely baked goods!

Very cute place with great food and accommodating service! Thank you for having a cruelty-free restaurant,

While passing through Fort William, we were able to taste their delicious products. And thank you to the charming cashier for her sympathy and kindness for my clearly insufficient English. 😀 Nathalie

Friendly service, cute space, 5* spicy bean roll and beat latte I’ve had in Scotland! Hard to believe the roll was vegan, as it was so flaky and buttery!

Absolutely lovely welcome and excellent food.

Very tasty food, large selection too. You can tell that everything is prepared here with love!

This place certainly changed my perception of vegan food. I had the carrot zalmon and vegan cream cheese bagel - very good. I would have it again. Because I don’t like alternative milks (as I was going to have a latte originally) I opted for the berry tea. Lovely set up and the tea was very pleasant. I finished by having the coffee and walnut cake - you wouldn’t know it was a vegan cake. Slightly crumbly at the end but it was very moist and tasted great. Staff were very friendly. Pricing was reasonable for a speciality cafe but by no means cheap. My one complaint is that they don’t have more individual tables so we were sat on a table with four other small groups. It did change my perception of what vegan food could be - flavoursome and tasty. However, I will not be converting to veganism anytime soon. Normal cheese will never be replaced by vegan cheese.

Toast and coffee for 12 pounds?! Not worth it!

You eat poorly, they serve cold piadinas, the place remains with the door open (in August it is still 10 degrees). I ordered one dish and they brought me a different one. Somewhat sloppy waiters, they talk loudly about how much they can't stand "people" anymore. The bakery located 50 meters ahead is far superior.

Lovely vegan cafe with a great choice of food. Pasty, flapjack, chocolate fudge cake and date slices were all delicious!!

Simply wonderful!! Great food and service!

Finally a really good café in Fort William. The coffee creations and the food are really good. Even though the espresso is a bit more acidic than my personal taste, I really enjoyed it. A little more expensive, but definitely worth it.

Great food/coffee and great atmosphere!

It was delicious! The place is cute, perfect for sitting down and drawing. I highly recommend the Hearty Chickpea & Veggie Curry, full of flavor!

Dopo il viadotto di Glennfinnan, con annessi immancabili vento e pioggia grandi compagni di viaggio, serviva una sosta rigenerante e la scelta è caduta su questo locale nel centro di Fort William. Inizialmente doveva essere solo un caffè e un dolce, ma invogliati dai piatti..abbiamo finito per pranzarci con nostra grande soddisfazione. Cucina vegana con curry e wrap di ceci. Ottimo suggerimento da parte della Lonely Planet.

Had a super delicious broccoli kale spinach soup in a veggie stock. Incredible sourdough bread (coming from someone who makes it) my son has lots of allergies and vegan isn’t usually a good idea. They helped us navigate menu. Was terrific !!

Very good, vegan cuisine only, delicious chai latte! I recommend without hesitation 😉

We ordered hot chocolate, latte and two cakes for take out. It all tasted really yummy. The café was pretty busy at around 3pm, but service was still super friendly and fast. Also great to see so many people enjoying the vegan food/drinks!

Super cute and cozy cafe with a great vegan selection of cakes and savory dishes. The staff was very friendly and attentive, despite the many guests. I would definitely come back again!

Specialty coffee and beautiful desserts

We loved stopping here when we were on a bus tour to Loch Ness. They had such creative and delicious options! I had a carrot bagel that was so good that I randomly crave it now that I’m back from my trip. Definitely worth a stop!

Brilliant find on the High Street in Fort William. Very friendly efficient staff. The lady on front of house was really welcoming and professional. The baristas (in training) produced delicious coffees and we were offered a bowl of water for our dog. Unfortunately we weren't hungry enough to try the cakes but they looked amazing!
