Eden Coffee Shop, Guardbridge in Fife

Me and Gill went out looking for a new shed today but the guy we spoke to was useless and knew even less about sheds than I do with his best line in broken English “ yes it has 4 sides and a roof”… no mention of a floor though!! Anyway I digress I made the decision to pop in to the Eden Cafe at Gaurdbridge for lunch .Wee were greeted by 3 cheery wee faces who took our order. Gill had a Latte and a Brie and red Jelly toastie I had a bowl of lentil soup and a chicken mayonnaise sandwich and a cup of tea. Could have done with more chicken and mayo and less lettuce on the sandwich but it was very nice. Anyway, as we were leaving a member of staff ran up to me and said “ have you really retired from “ Pro Kerby”? I said “ yes I’m too old now” she burst into tears and said “my mum seen you win the Scone Open in 1985 and said it was the best day of her life” I signed a napkin and said “give that tae yer maw hen xx”. Service :⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food Quality :⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Value:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Went for a birthday lunch and all the team were so friendly, and the cake, tea, and soup and toasties were tasty. Love the interior with beautiful vintage crockery and there’s a super terrace too overlooking the river.

In an area where there don't seem to be any other cafes this was a lovely place to stop and have some tea and snacks overlooking the river . I had asked for an extra tea bag as my Earl Grey pot of tea was very weak and was told I would have to pay for another pot of tea if I wanted another teabag which I was quite shocked at. I had to explain that an extra tea bag just gives me a stronger tea rather than MORE tea :) Apart from that the other staff were lovely and friendly and the square sausage was delicious.

This lovely cafe is tucked away down by the 15th century bridge over the Eden estuary where the pilgrims walked on their way to St Andrews. It was only recently that I discovered it after lockdown eased but what a find! The coffee is excellent and the home baking a real treat, especially the scones. You can sit outside under shelter if the weather is unseasonal or inside in the cosy cafe. Around the little courtyard you can visit the antique centre, an attractive jewellery shop and a super little ice cream parlour. The owners have very shrewdly placed a number of bike racks for the many cyclists who cross over the old bridge! The staff are so welcoming and friendly that you cannot fail to enjoy your visit!
