The South Street Bakery Vending Machine: A Full Review

Too much of a queue in Dervish? Poppy Booth has got you covered for a drunken snack.

There are only three important categories of people at this university: those who have no idea about the magical machine on south street, and those that don’t. For the latter group, this article won’t help you – you are part of the exclusive club (which will not be exclusive for much longer, sorry) that gives the Bakery Vending Machine its revenue. However, for the two other categories, I seek to enlighten you and change your mind about this slightly dodgy looking alternative to Empire, Dervish and Courtyard.
First, some background. I have been walking past this machine since I came to St Andrews, and never looked twice at it. It just didn’t look very legit, and as the sceptic I am, I never assumed that people actually used it. It also took me longer than I care to admit to notice that it disappeared during the day; observation has never been my strong suit. But, one Friday night on the way back from a packed Toastie Church, I saw the machine being used. It was at this moment that I knew it was me who needed to do this vital research instead of researching for my essays. I owed it to the people of St Andrews to find out all I could about this elusive contraption, and it was a sacrifice I was more than willing to make.

After some thorough field work, I discovered that the vending machine appears sometime after the closing of ‘G. H. MacArthur and Sons’ – that’s the bakery, I didn’t realise that was its name either – and remains there, in the doorway, until the opening the next day. Yes, that’s right, it’s there all night; even after the measly 3am closing of our favourite late-night haunts. It is stocked with the left overs of that days baked goods, meaning they are still all pretty fresh. I also discovered that not all the goods that are pictured on the front of the vending machine are necessarily in stock on any given night. It is down to the consumer to find out by trial and error which late night snack they are entitled to.
Now onto the important stuff: how good is the actual food available? For those of you wanting cheesy chips, this is not the place for you: stick to your usual choice. But for the more adventurous of you out there craving something more alternative than the classic St Andrews takeaway, the vending machine holds everything from apple tarts and doughnuts to bacon rolls and mac & cheese.
While some of the savoury options really don’t sound too appetising after a night out to many (sober) people, the desserts are another story. They are actually good. The tarts, coming in both apple and rhubarb, and at a respectable price of £1.50 each, were what I sprung upon my friends to taste-test. Everyone who [forcibly] partook in my research rated them highly, and among slightly less relevant comments like ‘I’m not your test dummy’, they harvested many positive remarks, including ‘it’s not bad’ and ‘good deal’. A stellar review.

I’d actually heard word about the fudge doughnuts from this particular bakery, so I was excited to see if the vending machine ones lived up to the hype. Well, I’m sure many of you will be happy to hear that I was, indeed, impressed. If you’re craving something super sweet and indulgent after your time in 601, I would recommend splashing out £2 on this popular item.
This vending machine is, arguably, a slightly not-that-hidden gem in this town. Despite its bright illuminated front saying very clearly that it is a ’24-Hour Bakery’, I never really see people using it. Maybe this is because it seems odd to get actual baked food from a vending machine, but trust me, all of the items are so well wrapped and are fresh from that day. And even if you don’t want the food, it’s quite a fun experience, so try it out. Please. Otherwise I’ve really wasted my time.
I’ll get back to my essay now.

  37. Usually I don’t learn article on blogs, however I wish to say that this write-up very forced me to check out and do so! Your writing taste has been amazed me. Thanks, very nice post.

  38. 큰 금액이 하루에도 셀 수 없이 오가는 만큼 예상하지 못 한 일이 일어나기 쉽습니다. 예상치 못 한 일이 일어났을 때는 사람들이 예민하게 반응할 수밖에 없습니다. 고객센터를 운영한다고 해도 24시간 발 빠르게 대응할 수 있는 인력과 서비스 정신을 갖추지 못 한 곳도 있습니다.

  47. One thing I would like to say is that car insurance termination is a hated experience and if you’re doing the proper things as a driver you simply won’t get one. Some individuals do obtain notice that they are officially dropped by their particular insurance company and many have to fight to get extra insurance following a cancellation. Low-priced auto insurance rates are usually hard to get after the cancellation.

  50. Thanks for your text. I would also love to say that your health insurance brokerage also works well with the benefit of the actual coordinators of any group insurance policy. The health broker is given a list of benefits wanted by anyone or a group coordinator. Such a broker does indeed is try to find individuals or perhaps coordinators which will best go with those desires. Then he shows his advice and if each party agree, the particular broker formulates an agreement between the two parties.

  51. I have taken notice that in video cameras, exceptional devices help to {focus|concentrate|maintain focus|target|a**** automatically. Those sensors associated with some cams change in in the area of contrast, while others make use of a beam with infra-red (IR) light, specifically in low lighting. Higher specification cameras sometimes use a combination of both systems and likely have Face Priority AF where the dslr camera can ‘See’ a new face while keeping focused only on that. Thanks for sharing your thinking on this web site.

  52. These kind of posts are always inspiring and I prefer to read quality content so I happy to find many good point here in the post. writing is simply wonderful! thank you for the post

  53. Hello are using WordPress for your site platform? I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and set up my own. Do you require any coding expertise to make your own blog? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  54. What’s Happening i’m new to this, I stumbled upon this I’ve found It positively useful and it has aided me out loads. I hope to contribute & help other users like its aided me. Great job.

  57. Thanks for your post on this blog site. From my very own experience, periodically softening upwards a photograph might provide the photographer with an amount of an inspired flare. Oftentimes however, this soft cloud isn’t precisely what you had in mind and can often times spoil a normally good image, especially if you anticipate enlarging that.

  58. Excellent post. I was checking constantly this blog and I am impressed! Very useful information specially the last part 🙂 I care for such information much. I was seeking this certain information for a very long time. Thank you and best of luck.

  59. Hi! I know this is kinda off topic however , I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa? My site covers a lot of the same subjects as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other. If you might be interested feel free to shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Wonderful blog by the way!

  60. Thanks for your concepts. One thing I’ve noticed is the fact that banks along with financial institutions know the dimensions and spending practices of consumers as well as understand that most people max away their own credit cards around the getaways. They properly take advantage of that fact and begin flooding your inbox and also snail-mail box having hundreds of Zero APR credit card offers shortly when the holiday season concludes. Knowing that in case you are like 98 of American open public, you’ll rush at the opportunity to consolidate consumer credit card debt and shift balances to 0 apr interest rates credit cards.

  61. I have observed that over the course of building a relationship with real estate owners, you’ll be able to get them to understand that, in each and every real estate contract, a commission is paid. Eventually, FSBO sellers tend not to “save” the commission payment. Rather, they struggle to win the commission by doing an agent’s task. In doing so, they devote their money as well as time to accomplish, as best they can, the obligations of an representative. Those duties include displaying the home through marketing, offering the home to prospective buyers, constructing a sense of buyer emergency in order to trigger an offer, making arrangement for home inspections, taking on qualification checks with the lender, supervising repairs, and facilitating the closing.

  62. Generally I do not read article on blogs, but I would like to say that this write-up very forced me to try and do so! Your writing style has been surprised me. Thanks, quite nice article.

  67. Hey! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering
    if you knew where I could get a captcha plugin for my comment form?
    I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m
    having difficulty finding one? Thanks a lot!

  68. I have observed that in the world the present moment, video games are definitely the latest popularity with children of all ages. Periodically it may be unattainable to drag young kids away from the video games. If you want the best of both worlds, there are many educational activities for kids. Thanks for your post.

  69. It’s the best time to make some plans for the future and it is time to be happy. I’ve read this post and if I could I wish to suggest you some interesting things or tips. Maybe you can write next articles referring to this article. I wish to read even more things about it!

  70. Excellent goods from you, man. I’ve understand your stuff previous to and you are just extremely great.

  73. Howdy! This article could not be written much better! Looking at this post reminds me of my previous roommate! He constantly kept talking about this. I am going to forward this post to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thank you for sharing!

  74. Your style is very unique in comparison to other people I have read stuff from. I appreciate you for posting when you’ve got the opportunity, Guess I will just bookmark this page.

  75. An interesting dialogue is price comment. I feel that it’s best to write more on this matter, it won’t be a taboo subject however generally persons are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers

  76. I cannot thank you more than enough for the blogposts on your website. I know you set a lot of time and energy into these and truly hope you know how deeply I appreciate it. I hope I’ll do a similar thing person sooner or later.

  77. Thanks for your posting. I would love to remark that the first thing you will need to carry out is find out if you really need credit improvement. To do that you need to get your hands on a replica of your credit history. That should not be difficult, because the government mandates that you are allowed to get one cost-free copy of your actual credit report each year. You just have to ask the right people. You can either read the website owned by the Federal Trade Commission or perhaps contact one of the major credit agencies instantly.

  78. Howdy, There’s no doubt that your blog may be having internet browser compatibility issues. Whenever I take a look at your website in Safari, it looks fine however, if opening in I.E., it has some overlapping issues. I just wanted to provide you with a quick heads up! Apart from that, great site!

  79. Howdy! I could have sworn I’ve been to this website before but after
    checking through some of the post I realized it’s new
    to me. Anyhow, I’m definitely happy I found it and I’ll be
    book-marking and checking back often!

  80. I’m amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s both equally educative and interesting, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is something too few people are speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very happy that I found this during my search for something concerning this.
