I visited the Sweet pea cafe
Beautifully done with wooden chairs and tables. It was an hour before closing
I had a small hot chocolate drink with cream and marshmallows and my friend had a spiced pumpkin latte and a lentil soup with bread My drink was £4.64 which I felt was too expensive. The hot chocolate was cold because of the cream In it. Very polite staff They also serve delicious looking cakes and pastries
Enjoy

What a wonderful museum! It is small and chock full of the history of St Andrews. It’s so worth a visit to this charming place that is free and they have a cafe for a spot of tea or cuppa and a sweetie. I liked that I could learn much about the community in just about an hour’s time. I discovered Fife was a major manufacturer of linoleum. Who knew? And there is much to it, with many creations being pieces of art (I included a few pictures). I’ll never look at linoleum the same way. There’s also a lovely labyrinth to walk and lawn bowling club around the corner.

Nice small museum. Great play area outside for kids and nice to have a wee craft room/area for them inside. This past Saturday my husband took our 2 kids (his first time with them, I'd been before); their visit was made even better by such welcoming, informative staff. A young lady who greeted our children , invited and led them to a craft and assisted with paints etc.. while sharing her knowledge of the exhibits with my husband and other incoming visitors. Will definitely be back!

매우 친절하고 편안한 동네 박물관
정성이 느껴지는 카페
전시와 설명은 물론 작은 체험거리 등
이곳에서 일어나는 활동은 지역박물관의 좋은 사례라 느껴짐!

I visited with my kids for the 'Crafted Selves Relaxed Talk and Tour', which gave some background/personal information on the artists and a little bit about their styles of work.
The museum itself is very well laid out and easy to navigate and also had quite a few interesting items on display.
It has a small sitting area where tea/coffee and biscuits (quite a large and varied selection of biscuits) are available for a donation.
I unfortunately did not have cash with me, but I was able to leave a donation by card payment.
It has some items available for purchase in the 'shop' and I did purchase a very nice book about 'Scottish Colourist'
It doesn't take very long to go around the museum and view the art exhibition but the lovely lady working there gave us a map and showed some other places we could visit that were nearby.
Would definitely recommend visiting.

Lovely, friendly welcoming and helpful two ladies.Nice little museum. Had a little pudding trail for the children to follow and a few activites. Downstairs the children could make gonks and do some colouring in and even some board games. Upstairs they had some books for the children and some weaving.

I have to give this place credit for a wonderful and comprehensive collection of old photographs. The detail the history of the town in the last 150 years, from the early resort goers who help revitalise the town from its ruined state, to the last train to leave the town in the late 1960s. Streams of thoughtfully dressed people wander through the streets of a town that in its architecture has not changed much from those early days. Still, the museum outside those photos is rather mediocre and not as impressive as I had thought it would be. If you're looking for a great museum in St Andrews, I recommend the golf museum and the St Andrews Wardslaw museum first. Admittedly, the art gallery was under renovation when I came here, so I can't offer a full review, but I expected more. Even the building itself seems a little smaller and less grand than I expected, despite its elaborately beautiful and architecturally elegant exterior.
PS Visit the gardens before you leave. Lush and vivacious, they are a highlight of the museum.

Nice small local museum with dedicated section about the history of the town and university, as well as a small art gallery with work from the county's collection and cafe. Warm welcome and helpful information from staff.
