Cosy Beans Cafe & Soft Play

If you’ve got a toddler and you’re looking for somewhere in St Andrews to actually sit down with a decent coffee, this is the place locals keep coming back to. The soft play is clean and well set up for the under-5s — nothing overwhelming, just right for that age. The owner is genuinely lovely, the kind of person who knows your order by your third visit. They do proper gluten-free food too, not just an afterthought, and they run a pay it forward scheme if you want to do something good while you’re there. There’s a basketball court and football pitch nearby if older siblings are in tow.
