Kincraig View Restaurant in Fife

Common theme here. My girlfriend and I called at this cafe about a quarter of an hour before they were due to close at 4pm which in itself seems absurd for a tourist destination. At the time staff were already stacking chairs on the tables in one part of the tearoom. We were looking for a suitable place to sit and were directed ungraciously to another room where there were no tables available. Unfortunately, as it now appears a very nice couple informed us that they were leaving and we could have their table. As I went to order at the counter they told my girlfriend that their coffee had been somewhat cool. Not having been informed that it was table service I went to the counter to order and was told that our coffees would be served in takeaway cups. When I queried this I was rudely informed by the older blonde woman with the pony tail that it was because they were about to close. They did seem happy enough to take my money however. The cakes were good but that was the only good news. Before we were finished our coffees the staff started to clear up around about us. Two foreign girls were encouraged ungraciously to leave. The aforementioned woman then came through and informed us incorrectly that we had already been asked to leave and we should go. When advised that we had not quite finished our coffees we were told in no uncertain manner to take them with us. This “lady” has no place serving the public in any capacity far less in a service industry. If she is an employee then the owners would be well advised to dispense with her services as she is the worst possible advert for their business. We are local and not only will we NEVER be back but we will advise ALL our friends not to go there under any circumstances.

Food was very good and probably cooked from scratch to order. The wait however detracted from this. We waited about 25 minutes which would be fine if we were having a lazy day but not really expected when needing a quick meal while doing your shopping on a busy day

when i went into baynes i asked for a sausage roll, the old woman gave me a COLD sausage roll, i wanted a HOTTT sausage roll, never going back, everyone go to greggs instead.

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.

What a find, deserves more than 3.5 score. Tuna melt on ciabatta roll was tasty as was my egg mayo roll. Really excellent cappuccino too, really milky and delicious.The cakes are something else, the Strawberry Danish is DIVINE and my partner assured me the fudge doughnut was spectacular. Worth dropping in if you are in the area, if you are pressed for time jump in and buy a cake, you will not regret it. I intend to make a point of visiting again when in that neck of the woods.
