Sands, a place by the sea in Fife

Really nice Cafe by the beach and have visited over many years ..albeit occasionally. I can honestly say it has improved year on year. Saturday morning and its not long opened for business....a nice welcome from everyone ....service time of food really good. This next line is purely for the people who operate the cafe.... ...keep doing what you are doing it really works. Just a couple of little things .... when picking from the menu and looking for a vegetarian breakfast there are only a few items you can choose which fit this criteria ....the young lady serving was a little officious without being knowledgeable of the laminated menu card......followed by hand gestures (as if people were not looking at the menu properly) she got her information wrong by the way......Whereas the young man on the till ( won't use names but is a Uni student) ....was much more helpful and informative of combinations which worked for us. We aren't silly or petty but really appreciate good customer service and this was the only blip. We would normally leave a gratuity but on this occasion.....not. It won't stop us from continuing to come and enjoy the food and good service by nearly everyone. 🙏

Can't fault the service or food. View also excellent. Before visiting I looked at previous reviews. We used to have a dog, we love dogs, but it is no longer the odd dog causing issues. Seems many have multiple dogs and owners are deaf to the yapping. When we go for coffee/food we want a peaceful environment - no yapping dogs and their inconsiderate owners. Whilst dogs may be "part of the family" for some, what about those who are allergic? Dogs should not be permitted in food establishments - I wish it was legislated for like Ireland! I'm pleased no doggy interraction at Sands, so we will be back

The food and staff are great, felt we were abroad sitting outside with the sun and a Pam tree beside us, will definitely be back.

When walking in all tables had to unclean plates and cutlery. When taking our order they touched it with their hands after touching hair. Sharp knife’s were unattended. When asked to clean a table they brought a dirty cloth over and wiped the crumbs and stuff onto our laps. There hair is going all over fresh food

Great cafe with beautiful views even in the rain.Service excellent.Staff friendly and helpful.Constantly cleaning the tables so looks very clean.We had a great blt.Main courses looked good but expensive.All cooked fresh.

Super friendly staff. Gorgeous food, had the homemade soup and poached eggs cooked to perfection! Beautiful location overlooking the beach, dog friendly! Highly recommend

Lovely staff and great food which came quickly and the table was cleared when finished, would recommend and will be back

Fabulous all round experience. Very friendly and helpful staff definitely made the experience special. The breakfast was the best I have had for a very long time - fresh and perfectly cooked and presented so nicely on the plate - compliments to the chef but also the suppliers of the great ingredients. Had the small breakfast minus baked beans and was very generous serving. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back to try the delicious looking cakes!

Great location, great food, great staff and a special mention to Laura who was super helpful and friendly. We will return for sure!

Well run busy cafe with friendly staff and good food. Dogs welcome in the outside terrace. They also have a carry out service. Can't fault it.

The food was excellent and the service friendly and efficient. The views towards Edinburgh are amazing

I had the half Scottish breakfast. A great portion of food. Tasty and filling. Lovely, friendly staff who were very attentive and sparkly.

Varied menu with a good variety of tasty food to choose from, friendly & helpful staff, great atmosphere, value for money. Thank you.

They were happy to host our swimmers Christmas Eve brekkie. Great choice of breakfasts, lovely staff and a fabulous view 🎄🎅🎄

First time here today, brilliant! Food first class, service excellent and all the staff so exceptionally friendly (and hello Meg, you did ask me to mention you!!) . Stunning location too. Will definitely be back, may well become my local!!

Been 10 months since our last visit. It is rare that a place can be so consistently excellent over a long period of time. Staff must change but they always seem to come up with lovely, dedicated people, serving an impressive range of food. To call Sands a beech cafe is to undervalue - maybe because its informal and cafe style. But restaurant quality.

Great spot for a light lunch . Easy to park outside , or park up the hill ( or in station car park and walk down ) . We all had the soup , homemade and delicious , and had coffee and cake after . The staff were all great , very enthusiastic and friendly . I grew up in the village , left 45 years ago - this place is a great reason to visit.

Visited today for breakfast and was not disappointed. Arrived and got the usual quick, friendly greeting. We were offered a table inside or outside, sat inside as it was a bit chilly. We ordered the cooked breakfasts along with the Breakfast Stack from the specials board & OMG it was special! It comes with black pudding, egg & bacon on a brioche bun with cheese sauce. As I’m not a fan of black pudding they swapped it for smacked salmon, it was absolutely delicious! The eggs were cooked perfectly and the mix of salmon & bacon was surprisingly tasty. The cheese sauce was very subtle, not over-poweringly cheesy. I would highly recommend this! The cooked breakfasts were equally good and we came away full and happy. (With delicious homemade cakes for later) It’s a cracking cafe, great location, delicious food, but the best bit has to be the staff, so friendly, welcoming and helpful. Service was really quick too (although not rushed) which was great as they were pretty busy, If you haven’t been, get yourself along!!

We have been to restaurant many times over the summer. Love the food and the service. Staff are very welcoming very helpful always say thanks guys as we leave. Great view from windows. Can eat outside if nice weather. Just a great place to go. And of course the silver sands beach a stones through from restaurant. Thanks. David from Stirling 👍

Fabulous food, friendly staff and a great view! We travel from Glasgow specially to visit and we are never disappointed. The menu caters for every taste. And award winning too!

This family friendly venue was a welcome respite from the cold, foggy beach. Normal Scottish summer, and the brave and determined were sticking it out on the beach. A bit of a queue, with the usual distancing measures in place.A very friendly welcome and as the inside was full, we sat at an outside table overlooking the beach. Service was great throughout. I was very tempted by the Chowder but went instead for a burger. The food was presented nicely but the burger itself was really poor, which was disappointing. Had a nice hot chocolate, so left slightly warmer than I arrived.Fine location, great potential, but on this experience, we won’t be rushing back. Go for the chowder!

Food is always very good here - so much better than you might expect from a beech cafe - although this is in every way far better than your average beech cafe! We are fairly regular visitors and are always impressed. But their best rating is service. Their Covid process is simple but very effective. The whole operation is very professional. Very busy people all being very busy people - but never compromising on spending that little bit of time making sure. Its a joy to watch. I can think of a few restaurants with fantastic reputations who should send their staff here as a training away day!

We visited the cafe a couple of weeks ago and along with tea and coffee, we devoured the wonderful mincemeat pies that the chef had including his own mincemeat which was truly succulent and the pastry was wonderfully buttery. A portion of pouring cream on the side tomcomoliment. Sands cafe is in a lovely setting with views across to the water towards Edinburgh. This is a place that people can visit in the safe knowledge that the Covid procedures in place are of the highest standard which is a credit to the owners and their fully trained staff who are always welcoming friendly and helpful.Sands Cafe is definitely worth a visit, you will not be disappointed.

This was a quick visit after the disappointment of finding the towns herbal shop closed due to storm damage.The Sands is a spacious restaurant situated on Silver Sands Beach at Aberdour. A very pleasant, bright atmosphere is complemented by staff who were really nice, friendly and helpful.The restaurant has been made as covid safe as is possible with decorative partitioning between tables. As i said it was unfortunately a fleeting visit. We had excellent tea and scones with butter and jam. My friend assures me that full meals are excellent quality. Prices are reasonable. The real plus is the amazing views over the Firth of Forth toward Edinburgh City. The Sands is a short car ride from Aberdour Town.

Poor poor poor we offers to buy a drink so that my four year old could use the toilet. No chance. We are currently touring best beaches and facilities which we understand is difficult at the moment but for a four year old poor

Excellent outdoor coffee and cake!! Visited twice in 2 days and would thoroughly recommend for sit in and takeaway

One of the best places adhering to COVID rules and so clear to follow! Well done to the staff. Had a bacon and haggis roll today and received over crispy bacon but was quickly changed and tasted delicious. Great views with quick, friendly and clean service. Thanks.

Hot chocolate not very hot but it was tasty. Great view from both the inside and outside seating. Pleasant staff and adhering to Covid regulations.

A gem of a place with great staff serving freshly made/ cooked food. The fish soup was wholesome and very tasty containing a variety of fish and mussels. Mac and cheese with a salad satisfied my good lady. All Covid regs followed with spaced tables both inside and outside.The view over the Forth enhanced our visit. Easy access with parking nearby.Good selection of home baking which we decided to take home - nicely put into cartons for us by the staff, free of charge.

Been twice in one month. It is one of the best I've seen for covid controls. Tables well spaced out, perspex screens, one way systems, track and trace. The view is phenomenal from the window. Food is really good and you leave it absolutely stuffed. We love this wee place. It's a credit to the owners and the staff.

The Sands has taken much time, effort and care over a safe reopening. Every possible measure is in place to reassure you on your visit: very clean; excellent one way system; good distancing; lots of outdoor seating and plenty hand sanitizers. Yet, the friendly welcome and service are still the focus. Coffee is excellent, and the scones are freshly baked and huge. It was lovely to be back today and enjoy the fantastic view.

Wow what an unexpected find along our leisurely exploration of the Fife coastal route. Firstly the location is superb overlooking a lovely sandy beech and if you look carefully Edinburgh Castle across the Firth of Forth.Secondly the food we both opted for the seafood chowder and it was simply excellent, obviously home made with lots of fish and mussels in a rich creamy chowder. Thirdly really friendly and helpfully staff and a creat post Covid system that worked.

We visited Sands Cafe this afternoon, the first time since it had re-opened. The staff were well organised, meeting and greeting customers and updating them on their new Covid procedures. I was impressed with their measures and felt confident visiting the cafe. We will be fetching our grandsons next week. As usual, good food, good value and great staff.

This is already one of my favourite places to visit...great walk for the dog followed by a visit to the cafe afterwards. I have been a few times since re-opening and the welcome is ALWAYS warm and today I really appreciated the friendly service on a truly miserable, wet and windy Summer day !!Lots of other cafes could learn a lot from the customer service provided by this team.

Thankyou for an amazing welcome and lunch today The food was perfect and it is such a friendly atmosphere. The Covid measures in place were spot on which made us all feel safe. Thanks again and we will be sure to return again soon

This would been 4 stars because of location and the staff are great. So the score is just for your coffee. It’s tasteless - no flavour at all - none.

Just to say what an amazing place we visited today your staff were so lovely and helpful food was great as well.

To start the warmth of the welcome for both my wife, Guidedog and I was so warm we needed sunscreen! Well organised with Covid without being oppressive. A diamond in the hidden jewel that is Aberdour!

This was my first experience dining out since lock-down and I was very impressed with the measures implemented to make both staff and visitors safe. No half-mast masks here. Full precautions taken, space-requesting stickers and hand sanitisers everywhere, a check at the door prior to entry and space on the menu on which to write our details should they prove necessary later on. Despite these strangest of times, we were made very welcome by all the staff with whom we interacted. I had visited just once before, approximately 8 months ago and the cafe was full, even on an uninspiring day outside. It was interesting to see that the atmosphere hadn't diminished during the intervening time, despite the vastly different circumstances, and with fewer diners due to the necessary spacing.Oh, and the food. Well I had ham and onion soup with oatcakes. Delicious. My friend had a panini which also looked very tasty.Big shout-out to Claire, who found time to have a wee chat with us as she scrubbed down a nearby table. I hope all goes well both with the business and domestically.Thank you!

We arrive early as knew it would be busy. It has now reopened. Staff well organised with Covid Precautions. So smoothly done. Had lovely breakfast on terrace looking over beach and the sea. Quick friendly service. Coffees delicious.

We were warmly welcomed by friendly staff into the COVID compliant restaurant. The service was excellent. The fishfinger sandwich was served in a fresh brioche bun with tartar sauce some salad and a lemon to squeeze, accompanied with chips.

Quick stop at lunchtime today. Very warm welcome with friendly staff all having to get used to the new ‘normal’. Beautiful setting. Definitely worth a visit.

Staff are doing an excellent job during thie Coronavirus epidemic working as a great team to minimise infection , Very happy and friendly staff ,good food .

I’m a regular at Sands having been for coffee and cake, late afternoon snack, breakfast, lunch and I’ve never been disappointed. Home made soup Is delicious, nice varied menu with daily specials board. Cakes and scones are fabulous and lovely coffee. The staff are friendly and welcoming too. You may have to queue at busy times at the weekend but it’s worth waiting for! Outside seating too so dog friendly. Oh and the ice cream! Delicious

Welcome warm cuppa after walk along coastal path. Lovely views. Nice and clean. Professional staff nice welcome. Nice food. Will be back. Well done.

A large group of us were going to be at the beach today and wanted to warm up in the Cafe afterwards. I called earlier in the week to tell them there would be approximately 20-25 of us. Ended up being closer to 30 of us and we arrived early. The staff did not miss a beat. The lady that greeted me (sorry I forget her name... maybe Gail?) immediately jumped into action and made sure we had enough tables. Althought the queue was long to order food, the process went quite quickly and the food even came out relatively fast.My only complaint would be the food itself. My sandwich was fine but the lentil soup left a to be desired. And unfortunately one of our group ordered the fish n chips with beans and that was not good at all. I think most of the rest of the group were happy though I didn't talk to everyone. The mac n cheese was piping hot and good and the drinks were all hot and good. Definitely will be back and on a not so busy day I'm sure would be great.

First walk of the New Year and the weather was a little off, but after walking from Black Sands we popped into Sands which is a family favourite for a bite to eat. The cafe was busy but we got a table and place our orders.The kids had their ussual chicken nuggets and chips but my wife and I opted for the Seafood Chowder and boy did it not disappoint. It was superb, fresh, hot and full of Seafood really enjoyed it. Will be back again for another bowl.Service and facilities are really good, such a great place when visiting this area.

Love the beach and this little gem of a place perfectly situated whether your a walker or by car, indoor and outdoor seeting, handy car park, excellent home baked scones and delicious coffee

I have visited this cafe twice due to business visits to Aberdour and what a great little place. The situation really couldn't be any better, right on the beach. What I really liked about it was how firendly and efficient the staff were and the quality of the breakfast couldn't be faulted. Scottish hospitality at its best. Keep it up.

Family of 6 for a long lunch and exchange of Christmas presents. This was an equidistant spot for both parties coming together. Just perfect! In the goodbyes, we though that didn’t pick up a bag of presents. After an hours journey home we realised this! Contacted staff by messenger (FB) and the staff all went the extra mile to search for the gifts possibly left. They then checked the cameras and supplied images. They also looked outside and around the building. Care and attention to helping us was exceptional and genuine from Nova and staff at Sands, A Place by the Sea.Please note VisitScotland, this was 5 star customer service, going beyond any of my expectations. I should know... I did quality assurance inspections for 11 years! Well done and thank you for taking so much care.

Been here a number of times with my family and cant fault the food, service etc. all first class. Biggest problem was the fact it was cash only for a long time. Stopped for a rest with the dog on Sunday and was glad to see cards now accepted, but the issue is a £10 minimum spend. All I wanted was a coffee and a cake. Left disappointed as I didn't need £10 worth of food for the rest of the coastal path walk. Bear that in mind if you're a solo walker/cyclist.

What a great place situated right on the beach at Aberdour. I arrived for a walk with my dog and left with a belly full of freshly baked cherry scone, jam and cream. The staff couldn’t be more accommodating of all the requests I heard, even having vegetarian haggis! Someone else on tripadvisor wrote they could have been in California and I could agree more. American service, Scottish authenticity, and a sun-soaked view to die for :) I sat inside (it’s November!) but there are plenty of tables and chairs and doggies on the terrace outside if you prefer.

Wonderful situation by the sea, fantastic food and I defy anybody to find a more pleasant staff. A wonderful selection on the menu with an array of deliscious sweets and ice cream. During spring/summer there are tables outside.

Could have been in California gazing out onto the ocean except you probably couldn`t find anywhere that served a great value `half breakfast` including haggis, black pudding and potato scone. The food that was being served on other tables looked good especially the `seafood bucket`

Dropped in for a spot of brunch after a cold walk along the coast . Warm and welcoming and you do not have to wait long for your order . A nice selection on the menu and you should check for the specials on the black board. We had a tasty bacon roll and a latte . The cafe is very popular with dog walkers and there are bowls laid outside for thirsty dogs

I am writing this review as I feel upset that some people have stated that this is not a dog friendly cafe and I wanted to set the real picture.

As a professional dog walker I spent ages trying to find a place with good food also dog friendly to lunch after busy walks, this place is by far the best! Always fresh water and the dogs love the roomy terrace with great sea views! The staff are so helpful and even open the canopy if it's showery! Fabulous food, the chicken tenders and chowder are to die for before the dogs have playtime on the beach!! Thanks guys!!!!

Looked up,via google, a list of “dog friendly” cafes in Fife. This cafe came top of the list. As we are “doggie sitting” we decided to go for lunch as the dog could get a lovely run along the beach.

We were walking the fife coast path and came here for lunch.The food was ok but on dear side but because we had dogs we had to sit outside in the rain

Such a lovely place to sit for lunch or coffee. Views over the beach, kids came in and out to the beach to play. The waiter who took us to our table was very friendly and helpful, bringing a highchair without asking. Staff behind the counter were very nice too. I had a panini which was very tasty and generous fillings. Fairly priced too. Will definitely be back. It was a cold day today but the cafe was lovely and cosy, just what we needed.

was there in July with family.Was a bit sceptical tbh but lovely lunch, fab sandwiches and chips . Home made cakes great , some unusual ones. Fast and friendly staff .

never been here before and so close to home too it was really lovely. This place has seen many owners and nobody got it to work. I think that the owners now must be very pleased. Lovely position looking out over the sea and beach. It is a bit pricey but the breakfast rolls were lovely and freshly cooked. The only problem I had was that they don't do a small hot chocolate for children. Everywhere I go with our grandchildren I never have any problems they are only too happy to make it but not this place. They must have a lot of children going there so it shouldn't be a problem

This unremarkable looking place, perched above the sands at Aberdour is a real treasure. With splendid views of the "Scottish Riviera" the charming and helpful staff serve delicious snacks and warming hot drinks. Thoroughly recommended especially on a chilly day. Excellent value for money

Lovely lunch at fab beach front location. Staff all very pleasant. Large portions & all freshly cooked. No complaints here.

This is a cafe restaurant not a full blown restaurant. Food tasty and well cooked. The food is on the pricey side. Portions very small for what you pay.

Fantastic selection of light snacks, cakes and more substantial offerings. The daily specials are worth a look too. The handmade fish finger sandwich was hot, crisp and freshly cooked. Great value with helpful and friendly staff. Dogs welcome outside on the terrace where you will get a clear view over the beach/water.

We arrived as strangers and hopefully left as friends. From the friendly welcome to the great menu to choose from and the amazing views from the cafe, we will definitely be back here (Mike and Teresa, Aberdeen)

Sands is located overlooking the beautiful sandy beach and bay. The staff are very welcoming and friendly, on a calm sunny day it is nice to sit on the terrace and enjoy a coffee or more, it is equally nice to sit inside when it’s a bit breezy.

Arrive as a stranger and leave as a friend..How true this is.staff go above and beyond to make your visit perfect, Claire served us she even got the chef to bake us one of his special tarts just for us. The food is amazing such a great choice and freshly cooked. Love it here.

Popped in as our kayaking was postponed from Aberdour beach.

Whilst spending time along the coastal area we were lucky enough to come across this cafe for lunch. We were expecting a typical “cafe” menu....but this is a hidden gem excellent menu. I had homemade fish cakes& gluten free brownies the scones looked amazing too not to mention the choice of ice cream which was great for the kids, I would definitely recommend as it’s not often you stumble across a clean beach side cafe that’s reasonably priced. The girls were very friendly & we’ll definitely be back next year.

I visit this lovely cafe regularly it’s my treat at the end of my costal walk and a bribe to get my kids to walk! They always look forward to the amazing choice of cakes and Ice cream and my dog gets to come with us as they have a nice patio area with amazing views

I don't often write reviews but this place is such an amazing find on Fife's coastal path. Such an gorgeous setting, we chose to sit outside as we had our dog, waitress couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. Despite being very busy, the food was tasty, fresh and actually felt more like fancy bistro food rather than beach cafe - kids opted for the freshly made icecream which was delicious - then played on beach where we could see them. Toilets spotless, will defo be back.

We've eaten here before and find it hard to drive along the Fife coast without taking a small detour. Again, we weren't disappointed. I started with the minted pea soup which was perfectly seasoned and tasted great.

Out with some friends for a walk with the dogs and we always love popping into this place.One of my friends has recently turned veggie and was impressed with the options from bagels with avocado and poached eggs to baked potatoes with cheese and beans and veggie breakfasts and veggie soups.

I wanted to book a table for lunch. The weather was very uncertain: windy, frequent heavy showers.

I took my whole family to Aberdour beach and we wanted to have a snack in the cafe (only one at the beach). But I was told that I had to leave the pram (newborn asleep) outside (in the rain). Obviously they didnt make any money with us. Also checked the menu quickly and was not amazed, very pricey and no card payment possible. There are some nice cafes in the village or the castle.

Never experienced a more family unfriendly cafe and hostile waitress than in this cafe. I guess they can only survive due to the beautiful view and location. Food is over priced and cafe was dirty. Won’t be back

Dropped in to the terrace of this dog welcoming cafe. Had tea, coffee and bacon rolls and the dogs has some water from the very convenient dog water trough on the terrace, supplied by the cafe. Lovely waitresses, only too happy to help and an excellent bacon roll to boot. Stunning views of the beach and sea and a sunny day, life does´nt get much better. We will be back for a proper lunch sometime soon. Very impressed indeed and it is open in winter.

Visited Aberdour today, when we arrived decided to visit Sands restaurant for tea and scones, scones were absolutely beautiful, served with butter and jam. Decided to have a late lunch in same restaurant, now I’ve eaten in all class of restaurants but admit lunch was delicious, although it was only macaroni and cheese, it was full off taste.

This cafe is pleasant and the staff were all very friendly. The adult menu was good but the kids menu was ridiculously over priced.

Stopped in for a light lunch with my wife and daughters after taking part in a beach clean up the coat at Kinghorn.

Beautiful restaurant. Outside seating. Stunning views. Great coffee and cake. Staff were lovely and very welcoming. Absolutely spotless inside and out.

Visited today. This place has the most excellent view over The Firth of Forth. It is right on the beach with a wonderful view over to Edinburgh. The food choice is excellent from locally sourced fish and sea food to lovely home baked scones and cakes. The cheesecake looked delicious. My friend and I both had baked potatoes with tuna and cheese. It was served up with a lovely side salad. The menu is varied and has some unusual additions but all the normal choices like macaroni etc. It is extremely busy which is testament to the quality of the food. They open for breakfast and do a full Scottish or just rolls on whatever you might choose. The waiting staff are very helpful and efficient. The food was delivered in no time. I plan to go back soon as I am sure my daughter would love the location.

I visited this afternoon with my husband and daughter. The cakes and treats all looked so good but we decided on cheese scones which were delicious and then had amazing ice cream which we were told was made on the premises today (raspberry and pistachio and blackberry crumble, yum!) Great wee stop overlooking the beach, stunning views and to top it all off very friendly staff and service.

Meal was ok would not 5star rate it as had chicken coujons in cocoanut .chicken was very dry .Also a bit dissapointed as normally get seafood chowder which I would give 5stars .Today at 12.15 was told had been busy and sold out .(they only start lunches at 12 and were not busy when we arrived .Would have thought more of them if been honest and said they didn't make any today

Fair enough the staff were friendly enough but we were on a nursery trip from West Lothian and unfortunately it was very wet, we wanted to try and find somewhere to dry off and eat, found this place and as me and my sister were going to order food we thought it would be ok for the girls to eat their food brought with them in, however not the case, we were told we couldn’t eat in there if the kids weren’t ordering anything, as kids are 3, 1 and 6 weeks wouldn’t allow us to do so as we were going to order food but no they asked us to leave and sent children out in the rain with their food because we couldn’t eat food we brought with us, plus if we paid for a sandwich (which btw were £6 odds) but didn’t get the chance to as we were told we couldn’t eat outdoor food in the place so they left 3 children out in the rain and cold to eat their food, I know it’s not normal to bring your own food in but it was wet and cold...... not ideal picnic weather......

Stop at this little gem after a walk around. Everything was fantastic. The food, the staff and the setting were excellent. Will be back again for sure.

Good choice of food and well served. Sandwich and bread options were extensive and what we had was a good serving. Not overly expensive.

Lovely friendly staff, great views and the best seafood chowder. The cakes looked amazing though we never tried them. Outside smelt like real seaside!

Visit here frequently and the food is always fresh and cakes delicious. The staff are very friendly, I’ve attended after wild swimming at aberdour on a number of occasions, and they always try to accommodate us in all our layers.

Having stopped here in passing for years we decided to have lunch, what a disappointment it was, 40 minutes of waiting and £35 lighter for 2 chicken burgers and chips, 2 cans and 3 pieces of homebaking, very over cooked chips and a burger which was chucked together, no dogs allowed inside so had to takeaway, quite a busy place, all in all but disappointing food, the homebaking was “ok”. But the wait was horrendous, a lot of staff no really doing much.

Great meals and great vfm. Cash only at the moment but dont let that put you off. Dog friendly and right on the beach

Cafe at award winning beach set in a cove overlooking Firth of Forth. Beautiful location. Food quality and staff both excellent. Dog friendly. Worth a visit!

Visited at a peak time (Friday of Bank Holiday weekend). The beach and restaurant both very busy. Despite this the staff turned around our order very quickly.

A nice friendly wee cafe that exceeded expectations in some ways and fell short against expectations in others.

Lovely position on silver sands with excellent views. Was busy & staff were friendly & efficient to deal with demand. The seafood chowder was excellent & just what needed after a long walk. Coffee was good. Cake had nice flavour but unfortunately the sponge was a little dry. Would return again if in the area

Stopped off for a coffee to enjoy the hreat view over the sea. Ordered a coffee. Oh. My. God. Do not order coffee here. It is weak amd watery. £2.50 so overpriced as well. Hard to overstate how bad it was. Undrinkable. Great view though.

What a great welcome we got when we arrived. Service 10/10 food 10/10 beautifully cooked and presented. Great selection home baked cakes scones.oops I nearly forgot about the ice cream yummy. This wee restaurant right on the beach is going to be hard to beat. As we travel trying to visit all the beaches in scotland.

3 sisters and a Mammy stopped here for lunch whilst visiting the gorgeous Aberdour beach. We were expecting a nice sandwich or maybe a nice bowl of soup. What we got was top restaurant quality food with the added bonus of good old fashioned home baking for dessert. The Seafood chowder was simply fab along with every single thing. Not one complaint. The staff were some of the nicest, friendliest people, and couldn’t do enough to help. 10/10!
