Avoid until the manager/owner recognises that her behaviour is incompatible with hospitality, although I suspect she's not the type of person to take feedback. I wish I'd read the reviews before I spent my money there. I didn't enjoy seeing an elderly fellow customer shouted at about a coffee, or other customers being told off about where they sat, and I didn't enjoy seeing a staff member being told off either. I also didn't enjoy hearing plates crashing about, if you have an open kitchen you might be aware of this. The food was nice enough but overpriced and the menu is very limited. I'm afraid there are no reasons to visit the cafe that are greater than the reasons not to visit. I'll be back to Culross but not to Biscuit.

I don't normally write negative reviews but have decided to make an exception. My friend and I called in today for coffee and a cake. We sat in the courtyard as we had a dog with us and I went inside. I joined the queue at the till, picked up an Irn Bru from the fridge and when I got to the front of the queue and said I've got this - showed her the bottle - and asked for a coffee the (very rude) lady behind the counter yelled at me telling me it was table service and that someone would come and see me outside. I asked if it was ok to take the Irn Bru out as I'd already picked it up, and if looks could kill I'd be dead, and she just tutted and I left the counter. I was actually quite embarrassed as the cafe was busy. As I went outside a table of people near the door told me that was me getting my head in my hands and we had a laugh, but in reality I wish I'd left the drink behind and left the cafe completely. A lovely waitress did come and take our order, and the coffee was fine and the cake was delicious, so 10/10 to the baker but we won't be back unfortunately. Coming on here to write the review, I wasn't as surprised as I might have been to find other people's comments on the lady. I think she's possibly in the wrong job.

This is a quant stop however the owner is short and rude. We were there with Rabbie's Tour. You would think the owner would welcome a group for coffee and snacks. Instead she was short dismissive and rude to my husband, me as well as other people on our tour. The cherry cake was very good but the scone was dry. I would discourage Rabbie's Tours from continuing to brining customers to a location that treats their customers that way.

My husband and I have eaten in this cafe many times over the the last few years. The food is varied and we have never been disappointed. The staff are usually very pleasant, polite and attentive. 4 weeks ago we went for usual lunch and sat down at a table. The cafe was relatively quiet. After we sat down and were given the menu, we were asked to move to a smaller table. The table was one for 4, where we have sat many times. We asked why as there were plenty of other empty tables. The waiting staff told me the manager told her to tell us to move. We were a bit put out by this as we were not depriving anyone of a table. My husband challenged the manager and said we may not come back. He was told it didn't matter if we didn't return, she had plenty of other customers. Her manner was arrogant and rude. We were so taken aback by this. We will never go back to this cafe again or recommend it. When I actually looked at reviews for this cafe, I found other reviews mirrored what happened to us. This is not acceptable behaviour.

Limited menu, over priced, soup wasn’t particularly warm, very poor toilet facilities & access to it when it’s busy atrocious. This was my second visit in recent weeks and both experiences similar. Staff are pleasant but service is a bit hit n miss depending on how busy it is. Gift shop is well overpriced and simply cashing in off the Outlander tourists as is the cafe & there’s little competition. I’ll stick to the Red Lion in future.

This is a business that has lost touch with its customers. It says "cyclists welcome" but I'm afraid that are not. You are forced to leave your expensive bike round the front of the cafe when there is ample space to store a few bikes (when it is quiet) at the back, in the garden. I can understand this being an issue when a large group want to store bikes round the back but there were just two of us and it was a quiet time of day. No flexibility or pragmatism on show today. This is one of our favourite bike routes and we always made point of stopping at Biscuit for lunch. We have stopped there at least 6 times this year parking bikes at the back out of the way in the garden without problem. Constructive suggestion: buy a couple bike locks to offer customers so they can park their pride and joy at the front without fear of it being nabbed. Then you would be showing that cyclists really are welcome.

We popped through to Culross on a wet and windy day looking for a spot of lunch. This café has a very simple menu, but didn't disappoint. A little pricier than our local offerings, but it's to be expected when it's a tourist hotspot.

Go somewhere else.. Food was over-priced, and not even good. £10 for a chicken ceasar sandwich, which was sparse on both the chicken and salad. It came with the tiniest pot of coleslaw ever. On the plus side, nice outdoor area for those sunny days!

My wife and I stopped off for coffee and cake during our first visit to the town, and had a super experience. We sat indoors with a view out to the garden at the rear. Staff were friendly and helpful, despite being hard pressed at lunchtime on a beautiful day. We were tempted by the soup and sandwiches we saw being served to other dogs nets, but ordered two slices of lemon cake and coffees. The cake was moist and delicious. We will return!

We hadn’t tried this cafe before and we won’t be going back. Very rude woman, probably the manager, was not happy at all when i said the latte i had was very weak and could hardly taste any coffee. She barked at me “everyone likes my coffee, even the Italians” 🤣 “You should have asked for a flat white instead”🤣 Very rude, unfriendly and not happy to get feedback, which could improve her her business.

Absolute shocking food. undercooked pasta for the tasteless macaroni cheese and the portion size for adults are terrible at £8.95 a portion ( wouldn't fill a 3 year old) wife says the bread on her sandwich was stale and again not worth £8.95. Place was full of entitled mothers who can't control there screaming brats so made the whole affair most unenjoyable. Then to get overcharged by £8.95 was just downright disgraceful. Tables are dirty and floor needs a good wash. Will never return to be ripped off.

I am a big TA geek. Almost always research TA before going anywhere. However stumbled across this place and entered with no TA prior knowledge. Sat down with family of 5 and read with horror all the negative comments about service to such an extent I got up to leave when my wife said it was a bit rude. So unhappily I agreed to stay to save face. So how was our experience? Meet by a lovely young lady who escorted us to a table for 5. So far so good. I can honestly say the service WE received was excellent. The food was 1st class. Whilst there it rained outside so all the outside tables moved indoors. This appeared to be dealt with seamlessly. So this place gets a big thumbs up for me. And unlike many I thoroughly recommend eating here.

Horrible experience. Only stopped in for a cup of takeaway tea and to use the ladies. I was asked aggressively ( reading other reviews, seems to be the Manager) if I had wet hands?! I thought I’d give the benefit of the doubt that she was concerned over paper towels running out and being a bit clumsy asking. No- she was being flat out rude. When I responded that I didn’t see any paper towels in the bathroom she continued with the passive aggression and informed me they were right in front of me above the sink. Took my tea and left sharpish. I’m local and enjoy walking the coastal path. Won’t return here. Shame as it looked like a nice place for cakes and home cooked food.

I think it might be a good assumption the favourable reviews here are by friends/family of the staff. Apart from one young girl (who was working her socks off) the staff were rude, arrigant and downright ignorant. There is simply no excuse for people within hospitality to display such bad attitudes to paying, polite customers. One customer “can we sit outside?” Reply “no, we’re short staffed”. “How about you serve us inside and we take it out, and then bring the plates back as we leave?” “NO! YOU’RE NOT SITTING OUTSIDE!”. Inside the cafe, four table had “reserved” signs on them. They were definitely not reserved. I telephoned from outside and asked to make a reservation “we don’t take reservations, just walk up” There were around 11 free tables (plus four “reserved”). If four staff can’t manage that, they are in entirely the wrong line of work. Awful attitudes from the ageing blonde woman, matched only by the rudeness of the young man. Take a picnic, or go to the nearby pub.

My wife went to get two takeaway coffee’s and a piece of cake at 2pm. Waitress was friendly and took order but the guy behind the counter was rude and exclaimed !” we are not making any more takeaways!”. He told the guy in front of my wife “he was okay and get his takeaway”. All the waitress could do was show open hands as if it was outwith her control. I will never ever visit this cafe again, shocking way to treat customers! If I had anything to do with the licensing of this premises, it would be revoked!

The place was busy with all seats outside full with the exception of one table that seats 4. We waited in a queue inside only to discover its table service. No issue with that, asked if someone could take our order as two staff just wandering about picking up the odd plate. Some one came out to take our order, no issue there. The owner then came out and ,cleared a table with one seat, and barked that we need to sit at another table as he needs the table for 4. No issue, please clean the other tables that had now vacated but were full of dirty dishes. The one table that was cleared had one seat. Decided that we didn’t want to give them our business so we cancelled our order, Julie (owner) advised we could put a seat at the table if that was so important to us (2 people can’t sit one seat).. overall the staff were disorganised, rushed and discourteous especially the owner. Gracious goes a long way. Went to another cafe and had excellent service. Culross, this place is not doing your visitors it’s any favours. Avoid it all cost.

Waited over twenty minutes for two cups of takeaway coffee. Customer who came in after me was served first. Coffee tasted like it was made with half a spoon of Mellow Birds - apologies to the grass across the road upon which it was inflicted.

Literally the worst experience of customer service I’ve ever encountered. Now that’s saying something. Who owns this café or the building? Appears to be run by a very angry individual clearly in the wrong job. Rude service and mediocre servings. The manager/waitress? marched around the...

Dreadful service from an angry woman. Arrived at 2:10 to be told very abruptly that 'we will be cleaned up and finished by 2:30' despite business hours stating 4:30 on the front door. Didn't burn my tongue rushing the luke warm coffee and frosty reception...

If it’s customer service you’re after, you may want to give this one a skip!! After a lovely stroll along the water front, myself and my family decided to pop in to the Biscuit cafe for a takeaway coffee to heat ourselves up. We paid...

After a chilly morning I was looking forward to a hot coffee and a hot bowl of stovies, both lukewarm. The stovies were tasteless and more like a vegetable soup.

Mixed review. Plus points - pleasant waiting staff, tea and scones. Negative- oh you will be for it if you arrive anywhere near closing time. You will be told by the person I assume to be the manager that the kitchen is closed. You will...

Very expensive bacon roll (£5) and coffee (£3.30). Rude response when bill queried. There are better places in Culross.

Took a drive up to Culross looking for somewhere for a cuppa and happened upon the Biscuit Cafe. Having read that last few reviews was a bit sceptical, but as it was 3.30 and nothing else was open - we opted to give it a...

I have just had the worst Bacon Sandwich ever - and as a former art student, that's says quite a lot! It was clearly pre-cooked burnt bacon which had become very tough - frankly, I have more respect for my gut than to eat something...

I had a brie, bacon and pear salad. The salad was very small, hardly any leaves or toppings. It came dry with no dressing. I had to go back to ask for a dressing. The amount of pear given did not warrant even saying there...

Carrot cake nothing like what it use to be, tastes like a betty crocket packet cake mix, famous fudge doughnuts taste bland and are very very expensive, feels like profit is getting put before quality, but i suppose directors need there bonuses, but on a lighter note the staff in the shop were brilliant. Pity about the cakes, sorry.

Dear God. Didn’t think this place could get worse but it has. Not enough staff, tables not cleared, no water in hot water urn, no clean mugs, no milk in coffee machine and the one poor staff member totally run off his feet trying to cope eventually collapsed with the stress of it all. Ambulance was called so I do hope the poor man is okay. Absolutely appalling that Morrisons management have let this go on for so long! Staff your cafe or shut it down!! We sat for an hour and a half and dud not receive our order especially after staff member collapsed. Werent offered a refund as till couldn’t be opened???? But were given a had written credit note for a free meal next time. After a second disastrous visit to this cafe I’m not sure I would return again!! Management get it sorted!!!

We had a bad experience at this place. We went around 10 pm for drinks as we were told this place is opened till 11pm. But the staff and shift supervisor told us they are closed as there was no guests and they were not professional to welcome us. It was very obvious from their voice and look that they didn't want to serve us. Me, my brother and our teen children were visiting Scotland and it was very harsh to see such unprofessional and weird customer service. It was also obvious from their approach that they were mean to our color of skin and not happy to see color customers. Even though we talk about diversity but still people are not mentally and emotionally accept the diversity.

Very disappointed as have been before and enjoyed a lovely meal when I went with friends. It would appear the menu has since changed, as has the service. Absolutely abysmal unfortunately. The food was inedible and the service extremely poor. It's a pity as the location is great and if you sit outside someone has made an effort with the lovely plants outside. Will not be back.
