Gorgeous in Fife

Takeaway coffee most times is warm at the least staff appear to not listen to your request except 1 young man blonde haired very nice and good at his job to the point of even remembering how many sweeteners I took. Scones and carrot cake very good traybakes not so much, I have been coming over from Dundee since 2020 and I’m a little disappointed with the takeaway service now needs looked at.

We came right at closing. They were already cleaning the coffee machine, but got it back out for us. Excellent latte! Whatever syrup brand they used was great -didn't taste like fake sugar like most do. I didn't get the scone, although it looked amazing. I might be back tomorrow for it.

Many gf options available and the decor is lovely.

Coffee only here which was excellent, however it could have been warmer. We didn't have time to complain!

Fabulous lunch, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere amazing cakes

Lovely cafe good choice of food. Good and helpful staff.

3 star review is the average of a stunning 5 star scone and a vile piece of carrot cake. The scone was honestly unforgettable, just delicious, the carrot cake was slathered in soapy tasting cream. The sponge tasted stale. Only one person was in front of me when I went in and I had to fight my way through a queue to get out. It does seem very confusing and a bit all over the place.

Food was fine. Servers unfriendly. Whole place could do with a good scrub. Very disappointing.

A lovely place in the heart of the town to enjoy light delights at a very reasonable price. On a blustery and solemn October day, I bought a cup of chicken soup and some breakfast tea. To my delight those provisions were accompanied with a fluffy and airy roll. If I have any major critique it is that I did not immediately see the sizable, atmospheric upstairs dining area, with its rustic wooden tables and old newspaper clippings plastered on the walls. The entire cafe seemed focused on takeaway, which is fine and makes sense given its central location, but I wish that I had been able to more clearly see the inviting dining area. There are a dozen satisfying cafes in St Andrews, but you will not be disappointed if you choose this one.

Loved the food, service and the vibe of the place.

Ich habe ein belegtes Baguette bestellt, es wurde alles frisch zubereitet und war sehr lecker. Da ist die Wartezeit von einer halben Stunde sinnvoll.

Waited 25 mins for a table after being told there was a 10 min waiting time. Decided to resort to takeaway due to waiting so long. Even then it took about an extra 15mins when there was no one in front of us!! The girl behind the counter was very slow in making one panini and two soups. The older members of staff came across very rude and clearly don’t have much experience in the hospitality business. Will not be rushing back any time soon, there are many other small cafes with polite staff and good food in St Andrews. Do not recommend!!

The layout of this cafe was found to be very confusing especially as you have to wait in the same queue to eat in as you would takeaway. I would suggest moving the counter to face windows so there’s a clear divide between the two. We were horrified when one of the waiters (a tall blonde young man) was extremely rude to another member of staff who had printed the wrong receipt out for paying customers. The young man proceeded to snatch the receipt off his colleague, crumple it up in his hand and then threw it behind him on the floor before giving him a eye roll. This is no way acceptable to treat your colleagues like that and particularly in-front of queuing customers. Management needs to be taken seriously.

Awful service. Rudest manager I’ve ever seen. Would never recommend. 👎

Awful business. Highly don’t recommend you visit here. Very poor service and were rude to my family.

Waited 35mins for a takeaway panini and coffee!! If the food was worth the wait then fine, but due to the time it took to receive the panini it was rock solid and coffee was cold. Clearly a previous successful business now taken over by people that have never been in the catering business before; it takes hard work and graft to make this sort of set-up work. After waiting 30mins I complained, only to be confronted by front of house staff that come out of the premises and remenstrated with me outside the shop! Grow-up young man (no pun intended) - and don't be rude, there is no need for that sort of bad behaviour. I'd suggest you understand your business, get some advice from people who have done this before and work hard at getting timings right and learn to take feedback; I'd have loved to of had a good experience but I'd avoid this shop from now on; there are plenty more takeaways in St Andrews that have better scones, nice staff and far better service.

Overpriced cafe for less than average food. Morning rolls are expensive for a frozen bread roll and the egg was like a rubber bullet.. ordered a wrap and it was the size of a postage stamp with very little filling and folded up small to disguise the fact! I wouldn’t recommend this place at all.. monopolising the location and serving poor quality food. The staff not very good either not able to get the order correct for 3 people and just generally not very friendly. What could be a good little cafe is wasted by their food quality and extortionate pricing!

Most chaotic cafe I’ve ever been too. Got the order wrong despite reading it back to us, then brought out just one sausage on a roll (we ordered one each) and said they were away out to get more rolls (but that the sausages were ready) and then came back 5 minutes later saying they couldn’t get anymore rolls and did we want anything else instead. Needless to say we left after this. Avoid this cafe at all costs.

We queued behind two couples on arrival and had to wait about ten minutes to be served takeaway. One panini, three cakes and two drinks were all we wanted. One of the guys started cutting the bread in the shop and was told to take it behind to prepare. Over five minutes later, out he came with the panini and put it on the grill. Meanwhile, the other guy started serving a couple who'd come in behind us, who wanted two drinks. They were given them. As our server wanted to get to the cake counter to get one of the cakes, they were in the way but pointed out that they hadn't paid. Rather than telling their server, who was doing nothing, that he needed to sort payment, our server stopped serving us and started serving them. Only once he'd faffed about and taken their payment, did he start on our drinks: a tea and a white Americano; simple. By now, the panini had been in for fifteen minutes. One of our party, waiting outside, protested that we'd been waiting half an hour and one of the servers became threatening and came out of the shop to challenge him. Eventually, we were handed our order: an overdone Panini, three cakes with no serviettes or cutlery (for the sponge cake) and a white Americano... only ot was black. Only the tea,was acceptable. We were charged nearly £20 for this - although first given a figure of £14. Do not, under any circumstances, engage with this business: one totally incompetent server and one rude and unpleasant; neither with any idea how to carry out customer service. Definitely not Gorgeous!

The Prince of Cambridge is a must try. The best scone I had. I like it served hot, and the berries in it waived the jam. It was so fabulous, I had scone twice there within my trip.

Having enjoyed visiting this cafe before, this visit was a complete disappointment. It appears to have changed hands and the quality of the service and food has sadly deteriorated. Our meals were not served at the same time (3 of us) . Toasties were lukewarm and not worth the price! Salad was ok. Posters on the wall ask customers not to stay for longer than hour to allow other’s in but the service was SO slow we were still there 1.5 hrs after arriving. Tables are so crammed in that waiters have to squeeze past with full trays, narrowly avoiding hitting my friends head on 2 occasions. The menu also states they apply a discretionary 5% gratuity to your bill! Surely this should be left to the customer to decide based on their experience and not having to request this be removed if not satisfied. Won’t be back.

its a lovely little place, with (in my opinion) really nice coffee...my only gripe is that they have really crammed the tables in upstairs and not only is it difficult to get to a seat, you feel extremely close to the tables next to you. We took a table for four and two chairs were unusable due to lack of space remove a table or two and it would be so much more comfortable

This is a regular stop for us in St Andrews. Scones were good, as was the coffee, tea very strong from sitting waiting to be brought to the table maybe ? Service was disappointing, coffee was finished before scones arrived and scones were finished before the teapot eventually arrived and the sugar for the tea never arrived !! The team serving the tables need some sense of urgency or better organisation not sure which. We would go again and hope for a better service experience next time.

Come in for a takeaway wrap and waited nearly 25mins to be served. Staff wer lovely but need more staff for sure!

Gâteau chocolat pas trop chocolaté, gâteau menthe chocolat un peu trop sucré rapport qualité prix peu intéressant

Great little eatery of 8 tables upstairs from the downstairs carry out counter. Food is lovely, well presented, decent value for what you get. Lunchtime can be busy but worth queueing. Quiet before and after the lunchtime rush and well worth a visit. Plenty of items of the past upstairs on shelves and a pulley, quite entertaining, but stopped the 5th star as the very lovely staff obviously don't dust them down too often. Have been in more than a few times, don't mind a little dust on an old pit lamp, nice to see it shine though -- lol

Waited 25 mins for a cup of tea and a cake.The upstairs dining area could do with a good clean dirty floor . The guy serving downstairs handling food with no gloves on. Not for me

On visit to St Andrews and popped in here for coffee & scones. Very disappointed service bad and afraid to say scones were hard couldn't finish them.

A small tea room (upstairs) and a take-away downstairs with lots of home made cakes and scones. Quite busy with staff rushing about which became busier during the day. Nice coffee.

Needed a pick me up as we’d not had lunch. Stumbled across this little coffee shop. Initially it realising there was seating upstairs, we went up to be transported to a bygone era. Slightly erratic service, but all part of the charm. We enjoyed huge cheese scones - heated with butter and hot drinks. Just what we needed!

I had a bad experience with staff and other customers sitting in the cafe. I emailed just to make them aware how I was treated and was ignored. Really disappointed cause the food was actually alright. Won't be returning.

Visited on wet Saturday. Bit of a queue to be seated but after 15 mins got a table upstairs. Staff very polite and apologised for the wait. Bit of a wait after taking order but we weren't in a rush. Coffees came first and we...

Nipped in here on a very wet day to have a coffee and kill some time before a lunch booking at nearby Haar. Never been in before, There's a takeaway shop downstairs and upstairs is the cafe seating area. The decor is a little quirky...

The Tea & Scones were absolutely lovely! However the customer service left something to be desired. It felt as if one of the staff members just had no time at all for us students! Disappointing to say the least!

From the outside it looks like a very small takeaway but has a seating area upstairs. Visited twice on a short stay in St. Andrews and certainly didn’t mind waiting on a table. Lentil soup was beautiful and piping hot. The scones are wonderful and...

A bit of a wait for a table but well worth it. Lovely food x service good a place lost in time very unusual and lovely memory .

Gorgeous was outstanding! Fabulous scones and delicious tea and cappuccino! We enjoyed it so much we came back the next day.

Not sure if it's the taste or the nostalgia, but my mood is always boosted when I eat a Gorgeous sandwich.

Did not know they had seating. Have walked past many times but assumed it was only for takeout. This time we saw the notice for seating and went in for an early lunch. What a surprise! I had waffles with fruit compote and crème fraiche....

We stopped in for a cup of tea and it was very nice. We were very sorry to miss out on some lovely looking scones when we returned later that day.

Quaint tearoom with fantastic scones. Not somewhere to eat if you are in a rush.

We didn't have a problem getting served for take-away. We had seen the pastries in the window the day before and returned to try them for a quick breakfast. Absolutely delicious. We were in and out pretty quick and the service was friendly and efficient....

Service was terrible. Food arrived at different times, son was left without food for so long that everyone else had finished before he got his. When drinks arrived son was not given a straw but everyone else was? Service was slow and poor and food was not great. Beef steak was cooked so tough that it tasted more like leather than steak. Toastie had been shown the toaster. All in all would not return. Didn't even stay to try the cakes

Lovely food and coffee. Reasonably priced. Staff member we had didn't seem like he wanted to be there... All the other staff were lovely.

Great food in a cosy cafe. There was a queue but the staff were great to explain how long it would take and the cakes are to die for, so much so we went back the next day for more.

We ordered a panini each and a Cambridge Scone to share. The panini's were tasty and fresh, the side salad a bit plain and could have been improved with some dressing. The Scone was the stand out for sure, absolutely amazing! Seen previous reviews regarding...

Nice.... If you have 2 hours to spare. Service very slow. Ruined it for me.

Authentic, homemade food and cakes. Best lentil soup I've had in a long time and delicious cakes. Nostalgic vibes, comforting and cosy. Staff were attentive, friendly and service was fast without being rushed.

Wonderful staff, great decor. They have a good selection of teas, scones and treats. Quite small but that adds to the character and atmosphere. We had sandwiches and paninis and they were delicious. One criticism would be for vegan guests to be wary, there isn't a huge amount of fillings/options for vegan eaters. But they are open to change and Taylor what they can to accommodate any requirements. Well worth a trip.

A wee hidden gem, definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended

Fantastic selection of cakes so mouth watering 😋 yummy.

Absolutely gorgeous,if you get the chance go upstairs very quaint and will jog a lot of memories we had massive scones cream jam and tea

Lovely staff, mango smoothie tasted a little on the fizzy side though. Vary tasty otherwise and good service

Great service and the food was amazing.

Slow service, not because if you're upstairs the staff are bringing everything up from downstairs. Just plain sloooooow. Worst panini I've ever seen. Cold, soft and tastelessThink it was all from the supermarket round the corner and they charged £8:50!!!

Waited 30 minutes for coffee to arrive then another 10 minutes for breakfast which was dried out, egg had a crust underneath and yolk dry, black pudding and bacon leather, sausage dried out. Complained to waitress who went to speak to the manager who said...

Quirky and lovely atmosphere. Great music and food.

I just happened upon this cafe by chance when looking for someplace to have a light snack before a meeting after travelling up from Glasgow. I found the staff polite and accommodating. It’s a small place with a quirky 1940’s vibe. Not at all suitable...

Good soup, good service, busy and very cosy. Clean and friendly.

Had to queue for 55 minutes outside for a table which was our choice, we didn’t honk the staff might pop out every so often to let us know how long it may take but no staff appeared, only kitchen staff that were based downstairs....

I have been a few times before to this cafe and I thought the food was really nice. However, I cannot say the same for the staff. I was lucky enough to visit this place when the staff were pretty decent, but I’ve noticed that...

Best scones ever - would recommend especially the one with raspberries blueberries and white chocolate !

Atmosphere: Just off the main street in a renovated old house, the feel and vibe of the cafe is like going into your grandmothers front room for dinner, its a great setup with many interesting trinkets and historical artefacts dotted around the place. Having said...

Sadly I cannot comment on the delicious looking scones as we left due to the less than attentive staff. No obvious interest from the initial enquiry regarding table availability. “I’ll check” came the reply, there were 3 available when we were eventually invited upstairs. I...

Quirky, vintage, decor. Large bowl of soup which was tasty but could have been hotter.

Nice wee cafe , quirky decor and good service. Lovely soup and big selection of sandwiches rolls paninis, cakes to go looked fantastic

Amazing scones and unique interior - it was great!

Caro porém encontra bons presentes. Vinhos a partir de 9 libras

We were there last Thursday and Friday. Went to the cafe first for a takeaway lunch. Delicious vegetarian panini but their vegetarian option for lunch could have been more. It was only one option for vegetarian. Bought some Prince of Cambridge scones to bring back...

Quirky wee cafe/restaurant in St Andrews. Delicious hot choc and millionaire shortbread..friendly staff ..most welcoming. Always pop in here when we visit St Andrews. Would highly recommend .

Stood in a rather large line for 15/20 minutes waiting to be served for takeaway with absolutely no urgency. Steam wand was also completely caked in milk and not wiped between dairy / non dairy.

A takeaway, but hides a small seating area upstairs. If you like vintage and fabulous fruit and chocolate scones, this is the one and only place to go in St.Andrews. Get there early as it only has a few tables. I will forgive them giving the scone a stupid name as it was gorgeous.

Food was delicious. Had the Americano bagel and walnut cake which was amazing. Next day had avocado and poached egg brioche and a huge blueberry scone. Good varied menu. Staff very friendly.

Recommend to us by local friends. Wild about this place. Great paninis and the best scones I’ve ever had.

Fabulous, love love going to Gorgeous. Great service, great owner 👍 xxx

Following recommendation from a friend and keen to experience Gorgeous we endured a 40 min wait outside until a table was free . When we were admitted we were surprised to see 3 tables were free so not clear why we had to wait so...

Gone downhill a lot in the last couple of years. Customer service at the front shop for takeaway leaves a lot to be desired. Queuing system all over the place and staff don’t make any indication to acknowledge you are waiting to order. Even though I ordered the exact same thing before 2 other parties, I received my order after them (over 30 mins for a panini) and no apology or recognition was made to me. Food can be inconsistent and hit or miss depending on who makes it. Really simple changes like someone taking charge of the front shop could make it so much better.

The best scones, ever! We had a great dine in experience with Abby as our server. Grabbed some scones-to-go as well!

Having walked into town this morning we intended to come.in for coffee and one of their fabulous scones. Exceedingly disappointed to find none of the staff wearing face masks, except for one round his chin. Owner rudely told me that he was in the kitchen,...

We were lucky to get a seat in the upstairs small cafe. Service was friendly, but muddled and slow. The menu was promising, but when the tuna toastie arrived it was just plain tuna ( no option of mayonnaise ) between two bits of slightly...

My partner and I selected two jumbo sized, jumbo priced "scones" from the pavement takeaway window. The sultana scone and the blueberry, raspberry and white chocolate scone, both of which looked temptingly delicious in their respective piled displays in the window. We stood there dripping...

Lovely breakfast in quirky, vintage surroundings.

Busy cafe. We had a sandwich for lunch which exceeded expectations. The scones are outstanding, especially the specialty scones. Big enough to share. Staff friendly and covid safety observed.

I write this review to commend the waiters and waitresses for their quiet civility and their forbearance. HOWEVER the food that was served at our table was unrecognisable as the order we had put in. Toasted sandwiches were not toasted, white bread was brown. Gluten...

Love this cafe ! Every time it's excellent

What a fabulous find !! So lucky to have managed to take up the last available table. The scones, I have never tasted better, absolutely delicious. We also had their millionaire crispy cake which was equally delicious. A lovely buzz around the place and the...

Great little cafe. We had to wait about 20mins for a table but it was worth it. The scones were amazing. My only niggle was. I was expecting more clotted cream for my £1.50 extra. Would go back.

Cafe reasonably busy but 25 minutes after ordering coffee and scones we gave up waiting. Apparently there was an ‘admin error’. It’s a tiny cafe not The Ritz… Nonsense

Lovely little cafe and take out service . Staff are friendly and welcoming and the decor is lovely. Wide choice of food and drink. Service is good and the food was excellent. Very busy venue due to quality of food and service.

Fantastic place to eat/ take away, They have a wonderful range of homemade cakes, There soup is fantastic just like the soup my Gran used to make, Everything in gorgeous is AMAZING 💯❤️

Called in especially as had visited this restaurant, a few years back and had been so impressed.. NOT today. A young male waiter couldn't have been more unhelpful,if he tried. I asked about vegan options.."none" he replied. So, I asked .....that means I can't have...

This is a small bakery with a quirky but nice tearoom upstairs. Only 6 tables but so worth a visit. Food excellent especially the Prince of Cambridge scones (raspberry blueberry and white chocolate). Table service excellent with first class sanitising of tables between customers. Would definitely recommend.

Love this place. Great food & drink. The decor is 1930s/40s with an old pulley hanging from the ceiling, a fire place with a wally dug at either end and music from a bygone age humming softly in the back ground.

Nice quirky cafe. I had a lovely cheese and bacon bagel.

Lovely scone and cup of tea. Service is good

Food was nice, but service were a bit curt and unhelpful. We had to work hard to get the attention of the waiter, he didn’t bring us water when we asked, and when I had only half finished my scone while going through some flash...

Walking past and spotted beautiful looking cakes in the window and decided to pop in. Was taken upstairs to our table and served promptly by the waiter and waitress. We ordered the “Prince of Cambridge” scones which were raspberry, blueberry and white chocolate, they were...

What a cute little cafe! Had some lunch and it was great, freshly made to order and sooo tasty! Very clean, nice, friendly staff, lovely decor!

Lovely atmosphere, delicious food 💕
