Taste
Taste is a casual coffee shop on North Street, in the university quarter of St Andrews. It offers eat-in and takeaway, has a few outdoor seats and is pet-friendly, so it is a practical stop for a coffee and a bite between sights on the town's north side.

What to expect
Taste is a small, informal place for coffee and light food, with vegetarian options on the menu. You can sit in, take your order outside, or carry it away for a walk along The Scores to the castle. It is a daytime café. Mobile payment is accepted, so you can pay by phone if you prefer.
On North Street
North Street is the university's historic spine, home to St Salvator's Chapel and the quad, with the cinema and several student cafés along it. Taste is at the western end, close to Murray Place, so it is handy if you are coming up from the Aquarium, the Old Course or the West Sands. The Scores and the clifftop path above the West Sands are a couple of minutes' walk north.
Who it suits
It suits anyone wanting something quick and unfussy rather than a sit-down meal, including dog walkers coming in from the beach. For something more substantial, Greyfriars Inn and Bucks Bar are a minute away, and Kinnettles Hotel is across the road. It is also convenient for anyone staying in the guesthouses along this end of town who wants an early coffee.
