Con Panna in Fife

Lovely little cafe with great food and staff

We have been going to this cafe every time we visit st Andrews. However we do feel it's not as welcoming as it used to be . We didn't find the staff very enthusiastic. Location though is perfect with outside seating if weather allows .

Friendly staff and good food for a snack.

We called in here for breakfast whilst staying in St Andrews - have to say the food is excellent, the prices are very competitive and the service is very good - a great place to eat in (or outside) & watch the world go by

This little cafe was really busy and I understand why. The staff are pleasant, prompt to take the order and food brought out quickly too. Definitely return here

Highly recommend. Young guy was excellent and the pancakes and bacon was out of this world

Pretty good place - worth knowing

Been coming here for 10 years, always sit outside......it must have something as we keep going back

Defo a place to stop off for a little light lunch

First time visiting.......a great experience 👍

First of all I would like to congratulate a waitress and barrister called Keely , who was excellent in her overall manner of friendliness . Her skills as a barrister was shown when she served me with Capuchino , Italian coffee beans . Very tasty and hot !!! Also Keely was helped Jenna , who again had a very friendly approach . Overall I would like to congratulate the staff mentioned for a very enjoyable time . I will definitely return

Ordered an espresso, got a watery disgusting brew served by a rude, sour faced woman after waiting for half an hour at the table, AVOID.

Very good big scones and the Orange Hot Chocolate and Mint Hotchocolate were very good. Came back and a coffee on the way to car park.

Friendly coffee place, with good coffee!

We enjoyed toasties there was plenty of filling and good value for money. The staff were very pleasant. The only thing I would say is it could do with a lick of paint.

Service was really slow, took ages for our drinks to arrive (two cans of juice and a glass of water). Food didn’t take as long but was really disappointed in the pancakes. My kids were excited to get pancakes while having a stroll around St Andrews. We passed this place and I saw pancakes on the menu and thought perfect, we’ll go in here. I was really disappointed (as were my kids) when the pancakes came out - basically it was one of the little pancakes you get in multipacks in the supermarket. I had a baked potato which was okay. The Tuna Mayo was quite dry, not much Mayo in it and I don’t think the baked potato had been buttered. Overall it was ok but I wouldn’t go back. The staff weren’t very cheery or welcoming either sadly. It’s a shame as it’s in such a prominent position in the town, it could be a lovely little place.

Busy Cafe good selection of cakes, also breakfast menu. Worth a visit

Good coffee, mediocre carrot cake, and service was slow.

Waited a long time for my tea & scone. Coffee shop was not busy

Prompt service, good coffee, and absolutely HUGE slices of cake and massive scones all at a really good price!

Ok little place sat out side and had a cappuccino and a scone

Great food.and great service. Spicy Bean soup was delicious.

Great coffee and food. Nice staff.

Would not recommend the chocolate milkshake unfortunately

prachtig zicht om iets te drinken

The 1rst cafe we come across and were not disappointed,

Really great coffee, and the empire biscuit was just the ticket! 😀👌 Service was friendly albeit just a little on the slow side. Had to move indoors, though, when a couple of smokers sat at a nearby table (obviously not the fault of Con Panna). It'd be great if they made the outside terrace a non-smoking area, though - filthy habit! 😬

A lovely family business in the middle of Pitlochery

Only if for coffee and scones but they were freshly baked and delicious

We didn't have anything to eat but coffee was nice and staff pleasant

Coffee was very good and the lemon drizzle cake was light and not too sweet. Small slice of cake : £2.50. The waitress needs to lighten up a bit. A smile to the customer would help.

Great wee cafe. Nice staff, good food and excellent value for money.

The soup was not good... Like water an very little flavour....service was poor.. But still a busy cafe i think for the huge home made scones.

Sat outside so ordered inside. Had to ask for table to be cleaned. Coffee was OK but over priced and on the smaller side.

Gr8 food and excellent service.

Reasonable prices and food was good. Tables could have been cleaner but overall good

I used to work here I loved my job but because of my age I only got £5 per hour which I don’t think is very fair at all.i have disabilities but never let that stop me from doing what i want to achieve and do in life at which I didn’t want to share this information at my interview because I was afraid that it would be used against me fast forward a few weeks I got the job I was in the kitchen with 2 of my colleagues and I told them about my disabilities which they seemed to be okay with I then in June 2022 when to do an internship at Asda but was still working one day a week typically on a Saturday I messaged the boss to say that I was thinking of staying at until the end of the summer I texted back 2 days later to say that I was definitely coming back and wasn’t going to stay any longer than I needed to I then went in for my shift on the Saturday only to discover that my hours had been given away which I was totally shocked I felt like the boss should have messaged me back to talk to me about this as I wasn’t too sure at the time I then told my mum what had happened and she was very upset she then messaged my boss to ask her why she done this as my friend had a job here never came to work and would always make an excuse and the boss gave her change after chance but when it was me she didn’t even give me another chance then a few days later she replied to my mum’s message and added us both to come for a meeting we both attended the meeting the whole time she never even looked or spoke to my mum and then whilst my mum was sat next to me said if I knew about her……… back in April I wouldn’t have employed her referring to my disability I was made to feel unwanted because of my disabilities, she did Ofer to keep me on one day a week until I got another job but I just think this is because she felt guilty for giving my hours away, I hope nobody ever has to go through this

Food was very nice but slow service

I had a pumpkin spices latte with cream and my husband had a hot chocolate and we sat outside in the sunshine on a cold October day with our dogs. They brought the drinks to us and gave our dogs a drink too. Really lovely drinks - hot and lots of toppings.

Coffee wasn't that great and cake was very dry.

Nice spot for a drink or a bite to eat. We only had a coffee and a tea but the menu looked good and well priced. Nice selection of cakes on display and very clean throughout.

Lovely coffee and nice buttery shortbread. Waitresses were very nice and friendly.

Very lovely but the kitchen closes much earlier than the actual shop

went in for a quick bite to eat. a lovely young waitress was so polite and delivered great service however another member of staff was completely rude to other members of staff which is unpleasant for customers to witness. it’s completely unacceptable to be shouting and causing a scene when there is customers in the establishment. not a good experience at all!

We went into this cafe for a snack. The waitresses were cleaning the chalk board and clearing tables. They didn’t greet us or show us to a table. We sat for 5 minutes. A pleasant girl came over and asked what we would like. I asked if we could see a menu. She brought us this and we waited nearly ten minutes for her to come back to take an order. We ordered a sandwich, a toastie, one tea and one coffee and waited almost 15 minutes for this very average food to arrive. The girl who delivered it to the table was unpleasant and slid the plates across to us. All for the “bargain” price of £18.30!! The only good thing was a cheeky Seagull eating an uncleared table outside. That made us laugh but we won’t be back to this Cafe. 👎🏻

We like it so much here we went back again 😊. Great menu but kitchen also willing to accommodate personal taste and allergies. Smoked salmon bagel was great and so was the olive tapenade and the strawberry tarts! Excellent coffee and they serve Fentiman’s Rose lemonade so the whole family was happy… comfy seats outside with shade and though sometimes noisy from delivery lorries otherwise a great town centre spot for a wee snack. Lovely friendly staff too 😊

We were out on day trip to St Andrews was a lovely day and rather warm so we decided to grab a bite to eat what a mission that was , we totally understand with Covid about booking places to eat but sometimes you just get up and go . A couple of places not a chance of getting in or come back in 4 hours. Thankfully we found this lovely place. We had baked potato and blt the staff were wonderful so friendly polite considering there were some people who must have been affected by sun and it made them lose their manners. It’s so nice to find younger staff who have manners and can talk with people. We also had 2 pieces of their millionaires shortcake oh my goodness was the best we have ever had. So thank you for making our day trip more enjoyable with great customer service. Will definitely be back here. Thanks

Had the displeasure of stopping off here for coffee today. Two scones with cream and jam which were soggy and the watery cream not pleasant. Coffee was burnt tasting with coffee ground floating in it. No conversation from staff not even a grunt as it was delivered, and charged 12 pounds for the pleasure.

Needed a light snack after a long drive from Glasgow. Got myself a regular sized Latte, which turned out to be a small cup. The coffee tasted good, but at 2.70 was excessive for such a tiny cup. No problem with coffee or staff, but way too expensive for a small drink.

Stopped in St A for a late lunch on our way down the coast for a few days away. Toasties were good a so were the bagels, the coffee was also very good. Nice service also.

Went in for lunch today and it was very good Soup was thick and piping hot and home made Egg mayo sandwich was good and filling was very fresh and side salad and coleslaw also good Will be back

This is a great little cafe with both indoor and outdoor seating (sunny streetside). The staff are excellent and the homemade food and cakes are always fresh and tasty. Portions are generous and it is also good value for money.

Nice small breakfast restaurant in St Andrews. Good coffee, loved the Bacon and fried egg roll Pancake with grilled bacon n maple syrup. Prices are right and the coffee mocha was good.

We sat outside, four of us, and enjoyed a couple of decent cakes and something nice to drink. Good service, not bad value. All was well. It was a very pleasant afternoon. If anything the toilets could be doing with a makeover.

Terrible service,food really poor.....and coffee from the 50s. Let's see. when I took a seat the rollercoaster started. Hi can we have some food please? Around half hour wait for the weakest coffee ever.tea for one was as small as a dolls house pot and cup. Then the food o my god...chicken and bacon toastie was as dry as week old socks and the home made coleslaw was very watery and tastless. The egg mayo was like pollyfiller.just go to the saint or any other place as this is not worth £21.

Called in here for a coffee. Service on this occasion was excellent and they had a great range of homemade food on display. I noticed they had blueberry scones and we both had them and a cappuccino. The sones were one of the best I’ve ever had and highly recommend.

Grazioso locale, dolci fantastici. Ma il caffè ristretto proprio no . Quando ho chiesto alla ragazza "mi raccomando molto corto, molto ristretto", si è risentita e ha risposto che lei lo sa cos'è un caffè ristretto. Dalla foto... potete constatare il risultato.

I’ve visited here quite a few times now. Food is good, lots of choice. The service has always been great. It’s not such a well known lunch option but definitely worth a visit.

We have visted this cafe a few times when we have been in St Andrews and always found it really good for coffee and cake. Really nice selection. Today we had afternoon tea, wasn't expecting too much as it was £15 for 2 of us, well it was amazing both in terms of value and taste! We couldn't eat it all so they gave us the rest away with us. Definitely wirth a visit!

Aquí para los cafés. La camarera no reconoció que estábamos allí, a pesar de que solo había otra mesa en uso, una o dos personas afuera. Ella tardó una eternidad en servir tres bebidas calientes a la otra mesa. Alguien entró desde afuera y ella procedió a servirlos. Todavía no hay reconocimiento de los dos. Solía amar este lugar pero no volveré.

We stumbled across this having been delayed on our trip to St Andrews and just wanting a quick lunch type snack. Some aspects were nice e.g. the home made soups but others e.g. the sandwiches a bit ordinary with the bread coming across as not quite fresh. Service ok but not oustanding

We had our first visit to Con Panna last week and it is unlikely to be our last. We stopped for lunch and enjoyed two excellent lunchtime soups outside in perfect sunshine. The staff could not have been more pleasant and the service was excellent. Prices also were fair and all the inside tables were taken. Always a good sign. Not sure how long Con Panna has been there but it is a welcome addition to the many places we have stopped off in St Andrews for lunch, dinner or simply a coffee.

Came to Scotland overnight and arrived starving! Came to Con Panna and had cheese toasties and coffee. Absolutely amazing toasties and great coffee. Staff were friendly but not over bearing and the place itself is nice and cosy.

Con Panna scones are generally agreed to be the best in St Andrews by local scone connaisseurs... Combine them with afternoon tea for an unmissable treat! We were offered a choice of sandwiches which were freshly made, served with the aforementioned scones, pancakes , traybakes topped off with a delicious meringue - and all for £15 for two people. This has to be the best value afternoon tea in town?

Simple and delicious soup, worth to try and enjoy ! Friendly staff and cosy atmosphere . Cakes looked amazing.

On a busy Sunday afternoon, I managed to get a seat in Con Panna which has a very extensive menu for a relatively small cafe. I settled for cheese and ham toasties, which were delicious, plus a decent pot of tea. The cafe was comfortable and clean and the service was good. Staff seemed helpful. There is a pavement area if you want to risk the St Andrews breezes! A very positive experience. Be aware, however, that they don't accept payments by card.

Having parked up we set off to find a late lunch. Walking under the arch and down the street we came to this lovely café. It was still busy, always a good sign. A choice of soup, we both had Mushrooms, with either white or brown crusty rolls and then we had a tappas melt, roasted veg and houmous, Sandwiches, bagels and toasties with a range of fillings. Hot and cold drinks were available and cakes and scones too. The only draw back was no acceptance of debit or credit cards so only cash. However it is still well worth visiting just remember to take cash.

We were served at a table. Cleanliness of the tables is quite poor. Astonishingly the place doesn't serve fresh cream with scones though it shouldn't be really that difficult. The next unpleasant surprise occurred when we came up to the till to pay - "cash only" sticker on the till. Why not have a note at the entrance door? We didn't have cash and had to leave in search for a cash machine and then come back to pay. The amount announced didn't sound right, we asked to see the bill to check and found out that they tried to charge us £5 for a scone instead of £2. They apologised but without much enthusiasm. We won't be back again.

Had a late lunch here on our way out of St Andews. Great choice of food and drinks which were reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would visit again.

Enjoyed our visit here, had a pot of tea and scone which was delicious, reasonablt priced , staff were friendly cosy little coffee house would recommend .

This restaurant operates a loyalty scheme. Customers are provided with cards and for each coffee/tea bought a stamp is given. Presumably a completed card allows the customer to have a free drink. I was amazed today to discover that this isn’t actually how it works. I paid for 2 coffees and received 1 stamp. When I questioned this I was told that 1 stamp is given per transaction! Obviously the trick is not to pay for your friends coffee but instead to hand the card round and let everyone pay for their own! How ridiculous is that !!!!!

Went in with my disabled daughter yesterday - coffee shop - ok but...

Popped in here whilst visiting the day and it was lovely.

Just had a wonderful afternoon with friends in this delightful, friendly coffee shop. Staff are very obliging and the home baking is the best I have ever had, all home made.

Waited 15 minutes before leaving. Not acknowledged by any of the four staff on duty, despite only being half full. Majority of cakes looked quite sad and unappetising anyway. Place looked pretty tired and in need of tlc. Will not be back.

Lunch was great. Service was super. Nice surrounds. Menu was great for lunch. Good selection of light snacks at reasonable prices.

We called in here having walked out of Nardini's along the street after they had rudely refused a request to serve my wife a cafe latte in a cup, which she prefers rather than a glass. The lovely lady here who took our order met this request with "Of course, no problem!". Whilst enjoying our coffee and some very nice shortbread, we noticed the wide range of filled toasties, bagels, soup and other items on the large blackboard wall menu and made a mental note to come back here for lunch sometime.

On a visit to St Andrews we stopped here for a late lunch break. Dogs are not allowed at the inside tables - so, because we had my friend's small dog with us, we had to sit at the outside tables. The waitress was most apologetic about this and brought out a bowl of water for the dog.

Stopped in here for a coffee during a day trip to St Andrews. Once I'd ordered I noticed a sign at the till saying it was cash only, which wasn't a problem as I did have cash but I thought it worth mentioning in this review so people know!

This is a great place for coffee. I tried the butternut squash and leek soup.it was thick and warming but needed more seasoning. The coffee was excellent and the staff friendly and attentive.

We stopped here for coffee and homemade scones which were delicious. They have extensive menu and delicious home made cake

Use this two or three times a week for lunch. Most allergies are catered for including gluten free. Staff are friendly and helpful. Although it is basic it is clean and has toilet each for male and female.

Popped in for a coffee and sandwich. Quite run down. Tables and chairs really seen better days. Staff very friendly though. Had much better bacon roll. Bacon burnt to a crisp prob been made hours ago and kept hot. Gents toilet disgusting. Won't be back.

Popped in for tea and coffee on way to town polite waiter took our order three teas and a cappuccino which was served quickly lovely coffee reasonable prices

A small utilitarian space with table service, the menu consists of soup, hot snacks and sandwiches as well as scones and muffins etc. Soups are delicious and the mug of soup and sandwich combo is good value.

Visited on 05/01/2017 after a last minute trip to St Andrews. We were 15 minutes early for afternoon tea, however that was problem. The lady was very nice and friendly who served us. Out AT was beautiful. There was so much that we ended up taking the left overs with us. Lovely atmosphere and quaint shop. There was a disabled toilet which also served as a baby room too with a changing table. Wide range of menu to choose from.

I frequently visit this cafe for coffee and snacks and whilst it is an unpre-possessing place the quality of food and drink is consistently good, and although young, the waiting staff are always polite and efficient. Good home-made soup and a large selection of lunch snacks also available.

Came in here for lunch absolutely starving. Had the chicken fajita wrap. Bitterly disappointed. Dry chicken and when I assembled the wrap and tried to bite into it, the grease began pouring out of it. Served with a wilted salad. Not good for £6.20.

Came in for a pot of tea, was served by a lovely young woman named Amy, she is a real credit to your staff. Will be back!

Delicious coffee and yummy cakes brought to you at your table. We had a great experience here and though the weather was dire the service was sunny

Sometimes the service is very friendly and sometimes it isn't - it just depends who is serving. Decent coffee and food but it's not cheap and the surly service kinda puts me off the place although I continue to go because of the location

Never disappointed by the service and food The scrambled eggs and smoked salmon is particularly good

After being ignored in Cherries we came here for some lunch - what a difference - great polite quick service, good choice of sandwiches, toasties etc. Coffee very nice. Will be back

Firstly nice welcome from the young guy serving. Order delivered perfectly as one in our company is quite fussy. Coffee really nice and scones delicious. Return here many times when visiting and pleased to see loyalty cards buy 6 coffees and next one free. ...perfect !

During our two week stay in St Andrews, Con Panna was our "go to" for great coffee and perfect lunches. The staff were friendly and very helpful. We ate here a dozen times and were never disappointed.

Good prompt friendly service. The homemade scones with jam and cream are really good and the coffee is not bad either at the usual prices. Wish I had come back for lunch as they have a good range of food that should keep everyone happy..

We stopped here for afternoon tea and a cake. The Earl Grey was excellent, served in a teapot. Decor basic but clean toilets. Friendly service.

Stopped by for some lunch with a friend. Always tasty lunch options along with a lovely cake choice! Staff are always friendly. Highly recommended cafe whilst visiting St Andrews.

I visit this coffee shop regularly and am yet to be disappointed. I usually have the soup which is always piping hot and tasty and occasionally treat myself to one of the gigantic slices of the delicious cake which for the size is a total bargain! Also the coleslaw is to die for - just wish they separate portions to take away - it really is the best in town! I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Stopped in for lunch very good choice of sandwiches, toasties and paninis. Friendly and efficient service,
