Granary Cafe in Fife

I've reviewed his place a few times, and it changed based on the experience. Today, the experience was godawful, absolutely awful. The food and drink are good, but the service can be, and was today, terrible. The staff treat customers like crap, maybe because it's somewhere that always gets custom, so they don't need to bother being polite, or kind, or courteous in any way. Really bad, honestly, not sure I'll bother again. Also, mad expensive for where it is. There's no 'view'that people are going on about, it's basically the Abbey, there's are 1000 churches in the country, and this ain't the best one by any means. Needs a ton of work, probably a complete staff replacement.

Visited this cafe during our trip and absolutely loved it! Beautiful location, spacious and welcoming atmosphere, with friendly and helpful staff. The food was fantastic—highly recommend stopping by!

Had toasty bacon still half raw. Glass for water dirty. Awful!!!

This is my second review of this lovely place Food is excellent Service with a wide smile Views are picturesque with Abbey so close by and bridges on horizon

This is a great cafe. Excellent location, great service and friendly staff. The only negative is a lack of local and Scottish produce. Maybe that can be looked at?

Very nice wee find. Afternoon coffee and cake on a Sunday. Lovely home baking.

Nice coffee and soup lunch. Friendly service. Great views from terrace.

Great food and coffee, friendly staff and a nice place to hang out (especially on a rainy day). Wee gem of a place to check out if you’re in the area.

Amazing atmosphere with great view on the Abbey

I have only been twice but have felt disappointed on both occasions the coffee is nice but waited over ten minutes for it to be served and this time I opted for Carrot and walnut cake but it was dry and stale - I should have complained but it was busy so I left but I won’t be back that is twice and both times my cake was dry and not worth the 3.50 I paid for it.

Beautiful cup of coffee and a delicious slice of 'Ultimate Carrot Cake' served by really nice folks, with a great view to boot. Can't fault it.

Called in here with family for lunch. Very bright and pleasant inside. The food is good especially the soup and we didn't have to wait long for it to arrive. The staff were pleasant and attentive.

Nice cafe but hopeless if you can't eat gluten and the coffee is pretty tasteless.

The Granary is comfortable, friendly and their soup and scones are tasty. Love it being in the Library building and with lovely surroundings, such as the Abbey and Abbot House.

Lovely food, great views from the cafe. They also do lovely catering, which I used for an event in one of the rooms in the library.

Went for some food. A can of coke £3!! For a can of coke absolute joke. Had a toasties at an eye watering £8!! The food was ok and the views of the Abbey are nice. Staff are friendly but the prices are a total rip off and I will never return. I still can't believe I paid £3 for a can of coke RIDICOULUS.

Had a really lovely meal of waffles and pancakes here. It was about half full but nice and quiet. The coffees were lovely and warming on a cold day, and the portion sizes were great, and delicious! We paid about £20 for a coffee and plate of food each which for the quality we thought was completely fine. The staff were friendly, and the view out to the Abbey was beautiful, though the window tables do all get snapped up first. Would come again :D

Lovely wee spot with great views. Got to say, very disappointed at the 1 star reviews on here from some very entitled people who have obviously never worked in the service industry or ran a business. There’s a big difference between artisanal products made by hand and the mass produced products in the supermarket. If you don’t want to pay the price, go somewhere else instead of spitting your dummy out. Have some compassion for the hard working people trying to make a living and get off your high horse

Sandwiches charging near £8 is outrageous for Dunfermline. Do you think you’re in the Ritz? Regardless of them being “toasted” or the “high quality ingredients”. At best £5. You could buy the same quality ingredients at Tesco 2minutes up the road for the same cost and have exact same sandwiches all week! Owners need a reality check and stop charging London prices. Don’t buy people.

Views are great, opening hours are ridiculous and espresso price is extortion! Tables were all sticky and dirty, staff not friendly

Been many times and had no complaints , but today my coffee was cold while waiting on hot food , maybe been served at same time be more ideal Asked for hot water for my coffee , waitress didn’t seem happy at this request Fruit scone was like a rock today ….

Unfortunately this review is from our 4th visit to the Granary (the other 3 quite similar but not as bad) We like the view and location hence we came back again. We ordered 2 coffees, a sandwich toasted plus a cheese/tomato gluten free toastie. The coffees arrived after 10 minutes (with hindsight we should have asked for them with the food) so we had to drink them before they were too cold. In a further 25 minutes as frustration was setting in my sandwich arrived which was really nice (but cold??) so what took 35 minutes in total? A few minutes later my wife’s toastie arrived with “ham” in it. Not sure how? Then another few minutes to rectify by which time it was cold. We had to order extra coffee to coincide with the food. We arrived at 11.45am so being busy (in my opinion) doesn’t excuse all this. At the counter and adjacent tables we could overhear other people complaining too. Bad experience I’m afraid. Never again despite the location. Rant over. Thanks

Very nice and clean cafe in lovely surroundings. First visit and very impressed. Good choice of soup,sandwiches/ rolls and cakes. Had a bacon and scrambled egg ciabatta, cooked to perfection and well priced. Friendly staff. Will be back.

Delighted dairy free food is served ,I can safely enjoy cake with my coffee

We often pop in for a morning tea or coffee with a scone or a breakfast roll. Very attentive staff and a lovely view.

Had the roast veg and halloumi toasty, it was delicious! It came with french beans and pea shoots the French beans had a lovely coating. Will certainly be back.

Cafe has just reopened under the Granary name. We had a very good scone and pot of tea. Very attentive staff.
