Cute and cozy with amazing food. - Edit
This cafe was so cute and cozy. Well laid out with provisions to maintain social distancing. Really glad we were still in Fort William on Wednesday to visit this reatuarant. The food was superb - we had the scrambled tofu and avoca-no on sourdough. The scrambled tofu was the best I've ever had, so well seasone, and the avoca-no was just like avacado and in fact maybe even better! The food was so good we even ordered a sandwich and wrap plus deserts to go so we could have them for lunch later in the day. They also have a little vegan store selling dry goods, toiletries and books. We bought two books and really looking forward to reading them. The staff was also very good and really showed they care about their customers. Would highly recommend eating here when in Fort William.

Great cafe! - Edit
Entirely vegan cafe nestled in the heart of adventurous Fort Williams! Amazing staff, creative cafe menu and great whole food selection. I tried their avoca-no spread (mushy peas, edamame and beans) and it was well filling and nutritious all while tasting pretry good! I walked away with a oolong tea tin, which is really hard to find in the UK! Stole my heart

Great little cafe, good selection of food and drink. Take away available. Covid-19 measures excellent, very reassuring. Scrambled tofu some of the best I've had. Had the breakfast bowl special, excellent taste, quite large and very satisfying... one happy chap 😎

Best cafe in Fort William - Edit
I live in Fort William and end up quite often at the Wildcat. Lovely atmosphere and staff, delicious drinks and some of the best vegan cakes I've had. Great books and products on sale at the back ! I love that the place in fully vegan - that is a very rare thing in the Highlands. Actually I can't think of another place at all. Love their oatmilk chai latte and matcha latte !

Pleasant surprise at the end of the WHW - Edit
Went for a breakfast here after finishing the WHW. A very nice place with cool vegan vibe.
Read moreStaff is nice and the food was very tasty.
Avoca-no- Great very special. Good texture and seasoning. Reminds me of similar paste I make at home.
Baked beans- Classic, can't go wrong here. Was very good as well.
The hummus was nice, nothing more, I tasted better hummus and worse hummus.
The breads were great, served toasted.
The cakes we tasted (walnut banana and Tunisian almond and orange) were a blast too.
As you can see in the pictures, lots of cakes, as well as RAW and GF opts. Wish I could taste them all. Was there just for one day :(
They also have chocolates, oats, different kinds of rice and some more vegan foods for sale. Very cool.

It was one of nicest wraps I've eaten. Super tasty combo!
If you visit here, be sure to check out the little book shop and grocery section at the back of the cafe.

Very nice vegan place with fresh and delicious food - Edit
This is the place to be as a vegan when you arrive in fort William. Everything is plant based and looks and tastes amazing.
Read moreI had a Bulgarian stew with bulgur wheat and a salad, my girlfriend had a gyros wrap. We also had a Chai and Macha latte.
There is also a little shop. They try to do everything ethical, ecological, organic,... Which adds to the experience.
Pros: All vegan food, Whole food and healthy stuff, Friendly staff
Cons: Can get crowded

So good I went twice! - Edit
I was in FW for a couple of days with a relative and we went for tea & cake on arrival in the town late afternoon, and then we had a lunch there the day we were leaving. Staff are friendly, efficient and helpful, food is lovely. For lunch we went with the soup & bread to leave room for cake, all of it was good, and I would love to try some of the other things in the menu another time. Also did some shopping from their loose products and other things they have. Yes it's small and very busy at lunchtimes - we shared a long table with others and one person was really loud and dominating, but that's just life! Good choice of teas including ones that you don't see many places else.

Nice little shop - Edit
Cute little cafe with a few zero waste groceries in back. Gets busy fast and there’s not much space to move around. If you want a table, go early. Coffee is delicious as are the baked goods. Brownie especially. Also had the sourdough bread with almond butter, which was good. But they gave me two HUGE pieces of bread! Had to bring some home.

A spectacular gem - all towns need a Wildcat - Edit
I loved this place. It was a real joy to come across The Wildcat. Great food - I had the quesadilla and then had a coffee and a cake later. Great ambience - I sat on my laptop and wrote for a couple of hours. It was an easy space to be in. People were friendly -customers and staff. The cafe exudes consciousness and I left feeling nourished. Plus the last time I came through Fort William was two years ago and I had found the town centre completely uninspiring - The Wildcat completely changes things and I'd completely make time to go there if I passed through again. In fact I'd love to see more places like The Wildcat. For me The Wildcat sets a new bar. Oh and another plus is that I really enjoyed the avaco-no concept they are working with...an avocado substitute I have never come across before...!
