Lovely cakes and hot drinks

So many vegan sweets to choose from! The three cakes we tried were delicious and the oat chai latte and hot chocolate were really nice too. Also got some vegan fudge to take away. I would like to go back to try the scones and sandwiches!

A Joyful, Friendly Dog Friendly Gem!

I must say this is such a joyful gem of a place. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and gave the regulars such a beautiful, familiar welcome. The friendliness and warmth of this establishment is beyond anything I've experienced before and cannot recommend highly enough! I am a GF Vegan who has Coeliacs Disease and to find so many cakes, flapjacks and sandwiches available to me was truly uplifting! This will certainly be a regular stop for my wife and I and our two beautiful dogs. Don't hesitate. Visit, relax and enjoy. This is an absolute diamond of a business in an idyllic wee village. It's so encouraging to see that veganism is influencing even the most rural of idylls and those of us who cannot digest gluten or wheat can actually have choice for once.

Pros: Excellent variety of vegan/vegan GF options , Dog Friendly/Human Friendly , Idyllic village setting

Cons: We disliked NOTHING!

Amazing surprise!

On day 2 of a four day walk from Kirkcaldy to Dundee, I stuck my head in here thinking if I'm lucky maybe they'll have one vegan cake, but to my utter amazement almost ALL the cakes are vegan! And what an array of options. I'll be back again and again to keep trying them, and bringing friends. The hot chocolate was delicious and beautifully presented too.

It's also lovely that they are dog friendly, made the pup who was with me welcome even though he was damp and muddy, and sell vegan locally made dog treats.

Pros: Amazing cake selection, Lovely atmosphere, Dog friendly

Cons: Not in my village!

Best village cafe ever

I never ever imagined the day would come when our wee village in rural Fife would have such an amazing vegan café! Vegan everything (apart from cows milk for drinks if you are visiting with a non-convert). Today they’d managed to source some vegan scones, a great addition to the already impressive array of cakes. Soup and rolls for lunch too. The more traditional local villagers might have been hesitant about veganism coming to ‘Muchty, but it’s quickly become the place to go to meet up with friends for all generations. Bright, airy and comfy, dog friendly, and a wood burning stove for the colder days. I try to make sure I visit at least once a week, just to be sure it’s not a dream. Auchtermuchty might not be high up on your destination list, but please please go out of your way to visit and make sure this little gem stays for many years!

Pros: Super friendly staff, Great coffee, great cakes, great soup, Clearly labelled allergens

Cons: Most cakes have some soy (tricky to fix)

What a gem!

How have we only just found this place!!! A warm welcome and then a huge array of beautiful vegan cakes and hot drinks with plant based milk free of charge. They are dog friendly too!!
We had an oat chai latte and oat cappuccino which were outstanding, with a white chocolate raspberry blondie and a blueberry bakewell. Also bought a box of treats to take home!
Cannot wait to visit again!

Excellent!!!

I was so excited to try this place and it exceeded every expectation. Beautiful venue, brilliant cake and lovely people. We tried two cakes (blueberry bake well and caramel biscuit) and agreed that they are the best we’ve had in ten years of being vegan! The owners and staff are lovely, with a great atmosphere and a really gorgeous interior. So glad this place exists- we will be back and try all the cakes! Truly vegan, true magic. Thank you!

Pros: Large (all vegan) cake selection, Cute venue with space and style, Lovely staff

Great new coffee and cake venue

I've been twice so far and love the positive friendly staff, offering a good range of vegan cakes and that relatively rare thing a quality vegan scone! Good parking and access, quirky original upcycled decor and dog friendly. Definitely worth a visit.

Pros: Quality of service, Range of options, The warm welcome
