Small but Oho

The wildcat is an island for vegans around Fort Williams. For warm dishes it has a small menu but a diversified one. The tea variety is wide.

Pros: Tea variety, Matcha latte

Okay

It must be great and I was just a bit unlucky: it was full as I came because it's tiny. So I ordered takaway. Then I got a chair and could dine in. The guy taking my order was new I guess, he lost my order. So it took a while til I got everything. And I noticed that the portions were smaller for takeaway than the regular plates and cups (muesli and latte for example). So I was a bit disappointed and angry because it's not cheap. And one lady didn't seem very friendly. But the food and coffee tasted good.

Love this place

So happy to find a vegan place in Fort William. We celebrated finishing the West Highland Way with a piece of cake.
Next day we came back for breakfast and for lunch and cakes to take out.
Everything was so delicious. And staff was kind and helpful.

Great place with great food

Loved this place!
I came to eat here twice because it was so good. The coffee is great, the hot chocolate as well.
Highly recommend the nozzarella toastie and the soups.

We tried two cakes, the salted caramel was too sweet, but the lemon one was great!

The staff was amazingly friendly as well!

Cute Cafe

Finished the west highland way and was so excited to find a vegan spot at the end of the walk! It was a great way to celebrate with delicious cake and a wrap (really enjoyed the "salmon" cream cheese bagel!) Highly recommend if you're in the area😄

Love this place

Entering this place felt like coming home. Such a nice atmosphere, great assortiment of drinks and delicious food. We ordered latte. It tasted great, one minor thing is that it wasnt very hot. I like to hold my hands around the cup and the feel the warmth of the drink, i couldnt do that now.

Pros: Atmosphere, Delicious

Cons: Temperature of the beverage

A vegan oasis!

The only fully vegan spot in Fort William- it’s a must stop! All vegan cafe with a huge range of vegan cakes and pastries. Staff was friendly and we had a great amount of gluten free selections too! Limited seating indoors but with the wait! We got there 1 hr after opening and we’re lucky to get a table. The place was jamming. Great vibe. Excellent food.

Pros: Cozy an welcoming , Fast service , All vegan and plenty of gluten free options

100% recommend

One of the best places I've eaten at whilst on holiday in Scotland. Surprising to find a 100% vegan cafe, it's a small place and gets busy but is SO wonderful to see a vegan cafe thriving. The food options are great, the scrambled tofu was nice (too many onions for me-just personal taste). Coffee is wonderful and the cake selection is the best. I really enjoyed the cinnamon roll!! My friend had the NOzzarella pesto toastie which she really enjoyed and the biscoff cake which was lovely.

Definitely a must😄

Quaint but mighty

We spent a week in Fort Williams hiking, camping, and biking. This was our go to when we came into town and would stock up on coffee and vegan supplies. We also always brought home dessert.

Sweet little cafe

Service with a massive smile. The food was amazing, and the cake selection was fantastic (at least six from memory).
They also have a little shop at the back where you can buy vegan toiletries, food, etc

Pros: Service, Coffee, Cakes

C’est super chouette ici !!
Le spicy bean roll étais excellent, le café un peu trop amer à mon goût mais très bon quand même.

Delicious and cosy spot

So happy to finally have made it to The Wildcat. We had some lovely breakfast- scrambled tofu and haggis toastie and then also ordered some wraps and cakes to take away with us for later.
Staff were great despite being a person down and it being a really busy morning.
100% recommend and will definitely return!

Pros: Lots of choice and specials , Lovely staff, Reasonably priced

Cons: Nothing

Lovely food on a cold wet winter's day

It's a few minutes walk from the train bus station so I nipped in to get a takeawa.y. Both the wrap and pasty were just right for a cold wet winter journey through the Highlands. Fast enough service to get back to the coach in time!

Cute little vegan cafe

We visited here whilst staying in Glencoe. Great atmosphere - was good to see a thriving fully vegan cafe out of season with really friendly staff. We both had nozerella pesto and tomato toasties which were SO good. Shared a couple of slices of cake too which were nice. Chai latte and hot chocolates were delicious. Loved the little store at the back too.

Pros: The atmosphere , The food, The friendly staff

Just Okay

Food and coffee was okay but expensive. Two breakfast sandwich’s and two pumpkin spice latte came to £23. No real flavour

Disappointing

I was really looking forward to reading here. Unfortunately, the food quality was really bad. The toastie was tasteless - basically squashed ciabatta with almost no filling. Coffee was quite bad too, pain au chocolate - one of the worst I had.

The only bonus is the shop which was quite well stocked but extremely overpriced imo.
