About This Spot
Stepping into Bibi’s Cafe feels like settling into a warm, familiar corner of St Andrews, where the hum of quiet conversation and the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee immediately put you at ease. This intimate spot, tucked away on Ellice Place, carries a gentle, unhurried rhythm—a place where you’re invited to pause and savor the moment, whether it’s a breezy morning or a calm afternoon.
The atmosphere reflects a thoughtful balance between cozy and convivial. Soft natural light spills through the windows, often catching the sunniest spots where visitors linger over their breakfasts or afternoon pick-me-ups. Friendly, attentive staff create a space that feels welcoming without fuss, making every guest feel seen yet perfectly comfortable to relax into their own pace.
Bibi’s offers more than just a meal or a coffee; it crafts gentle, nourishing experiences. From the subtle comfort of classic brunch offerings to clever twists that delight the palate, the menu mirrors the care that shapes the café itself. Imagine starting your day with the satisfying warmth of eggs adorned with fresh, vibrant flavors, or sinking into the richness of a caramel latte made with oat milk, paired with a smooth banana and strawberry smoothie. There’s a quiet joy in sharing these moments with friends or simply savoring them alone, wrapped in the café’s easy-going charm.
Regulars and newcomers alike appreciate that Bibi’s isn’t merely a place to eat, but a place to connect with the simple pleasures of good food, thoughtful service, and a lively yet calm neighborhood vibe. It’s the kind of setting where the day gently unfolds—a taste of local warmth amidst St Andrews’ historic streets.

Had the chicken ceasar salad as they had run out of soup and it was delicious and loaded with toppings!

Fresh from some beach combing on a windy West Sands, we came to Bibis for yummy food and very friendly service. Bonus for us was being seated at the table near the front of the cafe - a sun spot! Also - they offered gluten free bread, which I have found is not always easy to come by in Scotland :)

Nice wee caf. Friendly staff and good food. I have a dairy allergy and unfortunately a couple of the items that would have been suitable with one ingredient removed are made up in advance so no modifications can be made (ie, feta on the flatbread) so there was only one menu option I could eat. Also no dairy free cakes which is unusual these days as there's usually vegan options. The food I did have was delicious though, and the rest of our group loved everything!

We stumbled into here looking for coffee and ended up ordering lunch as well. This place was incredible! We were greeted immediately and seated. Such a cute atmosphere and the staff were incredibly friendly and kind. The food and drinks were delicious and we had a very pleasant experience overall. Prices were fair; I 10/10 recommend coming here!

We popped in to get away from the cold and to grab a hot chocolate, not knowing anything about the cafe. The biscoff hot chocolate was incredible, as was rhe Ruby! We had a great chat with the staff, who were welcoming and kind. I just wish we had time to eat because the food looked phenomenal!

Wonderful little cafe in The heart of St. Andrews. Lattes were delicious and the staff was very nice. We sat for a midday coffee in the outside courtyard which was cozy and quiet. Just a short walk up the hill from the Old Course and near the college. Great find!

Absolutely loved the food, vibe and service of this cosy, vibrant cafe tucked on North Street. Their strawberry iced matcha with cold foam was delicious and creamy. And the blueberry pancakes was generous and delectable. Will definitely go back for more!
