Welcome

Spoiled Life is a clothes, home and gift shop with a cafe inside it, at 15 Greyfriars Garden in the centre of St Andrews.

The shop sells womenswear and menswear from labels such as Samsøe Samsøe, Toast and YMC, along with jewellery, bags, sunglasses, skincare, home fragrance, lighting, tableware and deli items.

The cafe is part of the shop floor. Take a seat on the mezzanine above it, or at one of the tables below, and order a coffee made with beans from The Roasting Project in Burntisland and locally sourced milk. A rotating selection of cakes and pastries from local bakeries is on offer each day, with vegan and gluten-free choices among them. The shop is open every day, a little later to start on Tuesdays and Sundays, and it has apartments of its own in the town centre if you are staying.
