Merchant’s House Cafe in Fife

Fabulous array of wonderful delicious cakes including a whole shelf of gluten free choices which made my husband (coeliac) very happy indeed! I had a waffle with maple syrup, fresh berries and cream. He had a roulade. Staff super-friendly, chatty and helpful. Buying old and historic. Plenty seating inside and out including a quaint courtyard at the back. We will definitely be back!!

Booked afternoon tea for two, incredibly busy, queues out the door. Had to wait a wee while for service. Got two large cups of tea, 2 cucumber and cream cheese, 2 ham and 2 tuna sandwiches each, two cranberry scones with butter and jam and 3 large cakes each. The cakes were very nice. Would have liked to have been in back garden and had a pot of tea rather than a cup but apart from that, lovely

Visiting the area for work and wanted to meet a friend, who lives close and found this gem. This place is located close to at least 3 parking areas and we found a place just over the road in a long stay parking area. This place has seating both inside and out, which we took advantage of as we had not booked, but had turned up early to meet our friend. Would recommend booking for this popular place. We asked if we could book a table inside for an hour later and they did so. The staff and the owners are extremely friendly and helpful. With one lady sharing about the gardens to the rear of the Cafe,that my wife found so delightful, while I sat and looked over the Firth of Forth on this beautiful day with a hot cup of tea. When our friend arrived our table was ready inside, right next to the front window with once again the great view. We settled down to a light lunch with cake for afters. Food was amazing and with the help of the staff we found just the right combinations. After a Summer Greek salad croissant, which was very nicely presented with lots of cheese and olives, we prepared for our dessert. Their selection of cakes are vast and even though I would have liked to sit there all day and have a piece of each I soon knew that would not have been possible, especially if they always give such large pieces of cake. I had a Zebra baked cheesecake and my wife and friend shared a slice of the deep Apple cake. All of which was excellent. Sharing this place with friends is a great idea and makes for a great day no matter what you do after.

This place has really amazing cakes and desserts. It’s quite small inside but there’s seating out the front and back and it has a really pleasant and welcoming atmosphere

Dreadful worst coffee I have had basically hot milk.Ordered scones and cake.When it arrived no spoons or knives sat waiting on it but eventually had to leave table and ask for them. Scones were so dry smallest amount of cheap jam my son and I couldn't eat them.Nobofy came to ask if everything was OK. No thanks for our custom No hello or goodbye greeting. Complete waste of money. Customer service nil Won't return

A fine combination of excellent coffee, good food and warm hospitality. Our sausage and bacon batches (one vegan, one not) were both generous and tasty. The fresh cream strawberry donut was delicious and easily enough for two! Highly recommended, especially for the warmth and kindness of the welcome.

We popped in and were quite surprised just how busy it was. Delicious looking breakfasts, yummy cakes and scones. Great selection to eat and drink. Staff all very helpful

Great selection of different foods and cakes, also lovely gluten free selection. Staff are amazing and there is a secret garden out the back of the shop to sit in and enjoy, even in winter lol.

Nice small cafe at the end of High Street, in front of the Kirkcaldy promenade. Enjoyable sweetie, I ate a good and big scone sitting at the table outside. The coffee is good and strong. One of the best in Kirkcaldy

Perfect today, sitting out in the sun looking at the ocean. Coffee and rolls with bacon. Fast friendly service Massive cakes on display. Pavement parking for motorbikes.

This is such a wee gem. Great service. Delicious coffee. Plenty vegetarian/vegan options. Amazing cakes. Fair prices. Such a charming spot for lunch.

Lovely accommodating staff, they accommodated my special request with no issue. Really nice wee place with lovely morning rolls.

We live very nearby and had lunch today which we very much enjoyed. Will definitely pop back in soon, great food and friendly staff!

I’ve been here a few times now. The service is always efficient and friendly. The food is lovely and as for the cakes - well - all home made and to die for. Reasonable prices. Great stop off when I’m in Kirkcaldy. Today I checked out the garden at the rear - beautiful.

Fantastic bite to eat, totally faultless service and food delicious, will worth a visit, and to top it off lovely cakes to takeaway.

This is a very friendly Cafe with a well tended ,peaceful seated garden area at the rear .I had a lovely flat white which set me up for the rest of the day. I will be recommending to friends and family.

Lovely coffee by the water, great selection of cakes and staff and owners very friendly. Home baking and beautifully presented and tasted amazing g.

Fantastic cafe, food and atmosphere both excellent 👌 we both had baked potato which were excellent, good portion and great quality. I would have no hesitation in recommending

Always an exceptional visit Owners and staff are all caring, friendly and efficient. They go the extra mile with children. Kids menu etc The food is outstanding. Be it sandwiches, snacks, meals, soup, cakes or biscuits. And tea/ coffee. The cakes are to die for Inside seating, outside seating at the front with a view of the Forth, outside garden seating at the rear. Your only problem may be getting a seat when they're busy. Please wait if they are

An absolute treasure of a cafe, but please let dogs in as this stops us a lot from visiting! Lots of places in Kirkcaldy do, our furry friends want a sausage as well!

Absolutely professional and very friendly staff!! Fantastic cake’s and food !!! NUMBER 1 IN SCOTLAND !!!

This has become our favourite coffee shop in Kirkcaldy. Great service, fabulous cakes and coffee and a really friendly atmosphere. Most important of all is that my friend who is gluten intolerant always finds a choice of excellent cakes here. This is such a popular place that it’s wise to book a table even if you’re just going for a cuppa
