Insect cafe - protein rich cakes & snacks

We are Scotland's first cafe making food with insects. We draw on the rich wisdom of world cultures with sustainable lifestyles to create great products, which are good for us and good for the planet.

From nutty cricket brownies to spicy grasshopper cakes, we make a range of high quality and high protein fresh bakes. Using no butter, no preservatives and no artificial ingredients, each product is a testament to our commitment to delivering exceptional taste and nutritional value. For the foodies out there, this is truly a culinary adventure waiting to be savoured.


At the heart of this, we believe people are part of healthy ecosystems. Through sustainable practices, we can celebrate both our natural and cultural heritages.

LLooM - Weaving stories of AI

LLooM - Weaving stories of AI

LLooM: Weaving Stories of AI

Join us to explore your own experiences with AI through weaving and storytelling. LLooM is an interactive textile installation where you write a short story about an encounter with AI on a strip of fabric. Then you weave it into a large loom.

As more people weave, the stories combine into a collective tapestry. It shows how our experiences with AI overlap, connect, and differ.

LLooM is a space to weave, talk, and think together. What does it feel like when AI gets things right? What happens when it gets things wrong?

You will not be asked to use AI for this activity, and the researchers will not enter your stories into any AI system. This research explores the stories people want to share about their experiences with AI - the good, the bad and the ugly.

Drop in. All welcome. Under 18s should be accompanied by an adult.
