Tayport Harbour Cafe in Fife

Go every now and then and get the same thing to be charged different prices each time (always a takeaway never sit in) , only writing a review now because this time our lunch was £17.20 for a toasty and a panini, it was not a toasty it was cosy bread and the panini was dripping, the pasta and salad was wet and the crisps were soggy, not happy at all

Brilliant cafe ,staff always cheerful and welcoming ,and the food and drunk are terrific ,we have been coming here for years and are never let down .

Pleasant enough café with a tempting selection of cakes. The mocha was a bit gritty - the chocolate needed more mixing in. Espresso was perfectly fine though. Had a takeaway and drank our drinks overlooking the harbour.

Recommended by a customer at my work , so decided to give it a try. We arrived to one table that was left , it still had plates at it but the people had just left , they were quick to clear the table, my only concern with that was they didn't wipe clean the table , I thought was not right. We had the soup sandwich combo, the soup came piping hot, and it was delicious. The sandwich was tasty too. Very reasonable price . Would go again .

when I went I was rudely mistaken from a man they called me SIR! I found this very very offensive and it made me insecure the lady with the pink and green hair came up to me and asked me if I was done, she was completely rushing me.

A cute little cafe overlooking the harbor and a short walk from the main street. Obviously popular with the locals and we were fortunate to get a table since we did not book. Nice food at a reasonable price and very friendly and happy staff. The dessert bars were amazing and lots to choose from. We enjoyed a harbor walk after our lunch. A pleasant lunch and lovely little excursion to Tayport.

Recommended by my family as a worthy community project. A lovely outing to a scenic and historical sea port. Great community café drawing the folk in. Booking recommended at lunch times, it's popular!. Not fancy food but nice salads, sandwiches, baked potatoes . Great staff

Cafe in a great position near the harbour. Nice and modern with a good and reasonably priced menu. Enjoyed breakfast rolls

Friendly welcoming staff, prompt service, good range on the menu, delicious food, great value. Good ambience with lovely views of the harbour. Very impressed & will be back

Lovely cafe with great food and polite and pleasant staff. Cafe was spotlessly clean and prices were reasonable. We will definitely be back.

Visiting Tayport we parked at the Harbour and crossed the road to the Harbour Cafe. Lovely cafe with original art work on the walls. Staff and service were faultless. Quickly served with our tea / coffee and traybake cakes (baked in house!) Really enjoyable and very reasonably priced. A wee treasure. Highly recommended! We will return.

Staff were lovely and very helpful. Gorgeous cafe with a beautiful view of the harbour. Food amazing. Great selection of cakes!

We stopped for a quick snack lunch. I think the cafe is run by vounteers but the service is excellent. The sandwiches / baked potato that we had were well preparted and tasty. Would definately be happy to revist this place when once again in Tayport

You couldn’t wish for a nicer cafe anywhere! What a service to the community! The food was wonderful. I had a perfect bacon roll; the roll itself was delightfully fresh. The home baking is incredibly delicious. Definitely to be recommended.

Food always good, staff always friendly and still good value. Only slight draw back was the place was pretty cold inside. Otherwise all spot on as always

After a long drive from Inverness to Dundee I decided to make the short hop into Fife in search of a cafe. I came across The Harbour Cafe in Tayport and was so glad I did. Good, keenly priced food, excellent service from attentive and friendly staff within a relaxing atmosphere. If you get the chance, I would certainly recommend popping in here.

Stopped here for Lunch after cycling from Tensmuir couldn't have asked for a better lunch, great Sandwich with lovely side salad and pasta salad. staff were happy and could not have done enough to help. Would recommend this to anyone in the area.

If you're looking for hearty food, warm welcome, Vegan or catered for with food allergens... This is your place. Choice is suitable and varied to meet your needs, very person centred service. Wholesome home cooking. View to harbour and Tayside/Angus coastline.

Tucked away on a side street towards the water this is a lovely little community café with a great atmosphere. Always very busy selling breakfasts, soups, sandwiches, delicious cakes and more. Cheery staff and good value.

Tasty black pudding roll. Delicious coconut cake, tea and a latte all for £8. Very clean and cosy. Friendly staff. Lovely views of the sea and harbour.

Managed to find time again to visit this lovely little cafe. Once again, excellent service, a great pot of tea and some lovely scones. With an excellent view over the silvery Tay with Broughty Ferry castle directly opposite, it's a great place to enjoy local hospitality in this community run cafe. Lovely, friendly staff as always, a credit to Tay Port.

Really friendly and very pleasant place to have a bowl of soup and a sandwich after a refreshing long walk

I love a good cup of coffee but have to drink decaf and often the two don't go together but here the decaf is totally delicious! I love going there, the staff are smiley, happy and polite - thank you!

The whole ethos behind this cafe is refreshing, profits supporting local community. We had soup and sandwiches all round. Really tasty well made food. The people working there a delight, friendly funny and interesting. It was our pleasure to have lunch there today. Many thanks to the young Lady who came out into the cold to take a photo of us...Keep up the great work.

Popped in for breakfast this morning. Great welcome from staff/volunteers and a lovely breakfast. Café looking great with excellent food and service. This is THE BEST COMMUNITY CAFÉ anywhere. Highly recommended.

This is a community run cafe which provided friendly service, excellent home made soup and a freshly made, substantial, sandwich. Well done everyone.

When we go out for a walk we sometimes drop in here for a coffee and a bite to eat. Staff all friendly and food is good, ice cream is delicious.

Lovely cafe looking out to the Tay. Food was very good. Staff were excellent and very friendly. Nice and clean. Will be back.

Lovely cheese scones and good quality coffee. Staff were excellent despite being short of volunteers today...kept their good humour and worked hard to serve everyone promptly.

Popped in for lunch - friendly service, nice soup fantastic homemade ice-cream. Will on our list next time we are over that way for a revisit

Being new visitors once a week to the area, we drop a sibling off for an hour and a half leaving us that small space of time to take in the walks shops and local cafes. It was the cafe this day we were there. It’s a community cafe run cafe with volunteers and also staff. Set menu for breakfast one of which was ordered, and a roll in sausage. And green tea and ‘normal’ tea (I’m not saying green tea is abnormal but you get the gist) .

Sorry to say the cafe didn't live up to the reviews in my opinion!

My wife and i popped in to the cafe had a lovely roll on sausage and an americano coffee which was much nicer than some I've had at the big high street retailers.

We popped in here for some coffee and cake after a long walk. We all ordered coffees and cake. The cake was nice but was a little dense and dry which made it hard to eat, and the cappucinos were a bit too milky. Love the concept of this place though and it seems we were just a little unlucky as most of the reviews of this place are great. The traybakes looked really good so wish I'd tried one of those!

Fantastic homemade food and great service. Friendly staff and fast service. A nice atmosphere also spotless. A good group of volunteers

Had lunch with a friend today and couldnt fault this lovely community cafe. Food is freshly prepared, cakes are homebaked and the staff are amazing.

Lovely atmosphere at this excellent community café. Friendly staff, top quality home baking and great value. Highly recommend a visit.

I came in with friends on Friday 15th of feb. I had the soup which was lovely and a cake which was also very nice, and are all home baked as well. All the staff were very friendly and service was quick. Would recommend to anyone.

This local cafe is a gem. The staff are are very friendly and the service they provide is excellent. The food is always freshly cooked and is well worth waiting for.

The people were very welcoming I'd recommend a visit to all food was lovely great Atmosphere Certainly worth a visit I shall tell all my friends

A sunny bracing morning with a cold east wind blowing from close to the Arctic Circle. Lively seas across the Tay. Took shelter in The Harbour Cafe and was glad I did. Great chicken soup! Ordered a fried egg roll and a black pudding roll! Arrived with 2 nicely fried eggs! And there were 2 slices of black pudding as well! Very generous portions! Service good but could be better organised as took a wee while for food to arrive. Tables quite close together which created difficulty for mums with pushchairs. Nicely decorated and clean toilets. Great location across from the harbour car park. Fair selection on menu and cakes looked tempting! Would not miss it if you are in the town

We stopped off for lunch at this community cafe in Tayport on our way home from a weekend in Dundee. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Lovely atmosphere, fantastic staff and delicious homemade food.

We went into the cafe for lunch after a nice walk though tentsmuir forrest. We were seated immediately and offered a baby seat for the bairn. The waiter was quick to serve us and got our order in before a big group who were in. We had lovely soup and sandwiches and then the best coffee I’ve had in Scotland along with a fine piece which was rare. We will be back I’m sure. Thanks!

We were there in June and the dishwasher was broken........couldn't they have just washed a couple of cups/mugs and 2 spoons, instead of putting our coffees in paper takeaway cups with a "lolly stick" stirrer and charging £2.40!!!!!!!!!! For the exact same thing but to take away was £1.60!!

The soup and sandwich offer was very good and the home made cakes delicious. It is obviously very popular and it is well worth a visit

We stopped for morning refreshments and enjoyed some excellent cakes from the wide choice available. Clean and bright, the cafe is a must-visit if in Tayport or nearby.

Recently visited this lovely little café which sits right at the harbour in Tayport - it is a community café all run by volunteers and it was really lovely. Good range of hot and cold food and provide breakfast all day which is always a good thing. Good menu and some lovely cakes etc. Very busy on the day I was there and while service was a little slow it was nice just to relax and take in the views - all run on a voluntary basis so a really good business to support - well done to everyone involved.

Nice little tea room right next to the harbour you can only get cold food ie sandwiches and cakes no hot food but is very nice to sit in and watch the boats go by in the summer

Stopped here twice now and each time has been very good. Great service, very pleasant staff and nice food at sensible prices. As a community run cafe it is truly excellent and is a credit to those who run it. Supporting it at every opportunity ensures it continues to run to help the townsfolk and their local economy. We will make sure we continue to divert via Tayport from our regular trips to St Andrews knowing such an excellent place exists. Well done to everyone who works there.

What a great location with the proximity to the harbour it is handy for the local yachts and visitors .Run by volunteers this is a great wee cafe for breakfast of lunch.There is plenty of parking just across the road .

Run by local volunteers, this café is at a good location by the harbour and supplies fairly basic hot and cold food, with relevant beverages

Excellent community cafe, well worth a visit. The staff are volunteers and the all round standard is excellent. Will be back

Tayport Harbour Cafe sits a stones throw from Tayport Harbour. Menu consists of soups, Paninis, Sandwiches and scrummy cakes. Lovely Toasted Sandwiches with a great helping of salad. Good value

Came here for coffee one afternoon with my daughter. She ordered the deluxe hot chocolate and I wish I had too. It looked amazing!

A great little cafe serving excellent food with friendly helpful staff. Right by the harbour with car parking. Views across the Tay to Broughty Ferry.

Met up with an old pal for a spot of lunch. What a nice little cafe. Both of us opted for baked potatoes which came with a pile of fresh salad which was lovely. A couple of pots of tea and one slice of cake later we settled up and left full and happy. I would highly recommend.

We felt very welcome here, nice relaxed cafe feeling The food is truly amazing We’ve been back several times The selection is great and they even have a vegan menu!

The usual expected quality service and food in this friendly café. Prices are better than most similar outlets.

This cafe is superb. Food and staff are excellent and the free wifi is great. I've stopped here a number of times now, I'd recommend you do the same. You won't be disappointed.

New additions to menu include vegan options. Great choice of brunch items served by friendly and helpful staff. Great community café. Well worth a visit.

Was pleasantly surprised by the choice and quality of food on offer here, all of it offering really good value. Staff where friendly and the location has good estuary views. Will definitely return.

This community cafe is well-placed for the delights of the harbour nearby. It tries hard with lots of alternative teas reliably sourced ingredients. The volunteers are nice. The walls would benefit from exhibitions of a better standard. The place is busy.

I went into the cafe with a friend for a coffee. I had a coffee which was really nice and I had a slice of coffee cake, which Can I say was absolutely scrumptious! Will be looking for that next time am in. Also my friend had a piece of traybake, which she also found lovely and very tasty. All home made cakes, so all very fresh. Great little cafe and very friendly staff. Would highly recommend this place to people.

Really like the Harbour Cafe - staff are great at helping new volunteers and there’s a great atmosphere. Last time we were there I had the scrambled eggs and toast - really gorgeous eggy yellow eggs and proper thick slices of toast. Yum 😋

Busy little cafe with friendly atmosphere and good food. My wife had soup and sandwich and I had a bacon and scrambled egg roll. Both very good and generous portions.

Simple menu, excellent service and location what’s not to like at this bpvery neat local and pleasant venue ?

Stopped in here early afternoon for a coffee. Also had a slice of their blueberry iced loaf cake, it was delicious. Pleasant atmosphere with friendly staff, would certainly recommend it to others.

Lovely wee cafe down by the harbour (as the name implies). Nice food, smashing home baking and a wide choice of teas. Just discovered this wee gem but will make it a regular wee jaunt from Dundee now on.

Lovely cafe when visiting Tayport. It's right down by the picturesque harbour. Cafe is bright warm and friendly service. The scones were freshly baked and delicious. Although we were just having a wee snack the menu is quite varied and a good selection of toasties sandwiches cakes etc

Stopped off there for a snack when out cycling. A community run cafe which serves coffee/tea and a variety of snacks. We had the soup and a toastie, both which were excellent. The staff are friendly and the cafe clean. Lovely location right by the harbour. I had been before and I can tell you that the breakfast is also excellent. We were there for a while and in all that time, the cafe was busy

Home made scones to die for. Have to book ahead to ensure my order is placed ☎️🎉. Thank you Alison & Yvonne

Great wee place. Very popular. Nice homemade soup. Lovely home baking. Great value for money. Would def come back if in the area again.

The cafe is excellent very good food and friendly staff.i had lunch which was very nice .highly recommended this lovely cafe .a large variety of food and its beside the lovely tayport harbour.

My sister and I dropped in for lunch. The home made leek and potato soup was delicious and I enjoyed the Suki tea. Service was friendly and a nice atmosphere in the place. would recommend

Visited this little delight on a wet and windy visit to Tayport. Walked in to the warmth of the room and the welcome of the staff. Had a lovely coffee and cake. Relaxed place. Free Wi-Fi. Staff were so welcoming and helpful. telling us all about the history of the café. What a great menu! We will be back for lunch. They let us know you can book a table of choice.

Came in here with my mum on Saturday afternoon, first time in an age and I wasn't all that impressed last time. This time? Very different, staff polite and helpful, scones. Lovely. We will come back sooner next time.

This little cafe is well furnished, the staff are very friendly and the menu options are very good - not a massive menu, but options for vegetarians, gluten intolerant folks are good. For me - a nice cup of coffee too!!!I had the ploughman's, my companions had a tuna salad, a 'veggie heaven', and bacon and brie. All portions really good value.

Not my first visit and not my last either. Friendly environment and always a smile. Most of the food and cakes are home made and totally delicious. There is also a lovely view of the harbour.Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Stopped by for lunch before crossing the bridge to head north along the coast. My wife had a tuna melt toastie, small salad and apple juice. I had the special, potato soup and onion/cheese toastie. Nice atmosphere, busy place. Plenty of parking available.

Great place for a light lunch or coffe and scones at very reasonable prices. good choice on menu nice clean place.

Simple and good food with a lovely view of the Tay. Had some cakes and lunch here with my relatives and everyone was so friendly :) They serve gluten free cakes too.

fantastic as always, lovely soup & sandwiches/paninis, good coffee, great views , lovely ambience and cheery service . also a great ( very disabled friendly ) loo !

Busy place today, but served with.There was a good soup and sandwich deal, but I just went for the sandwich.Very tasty.

Popped in here after a Sunday stroll. Cafe was very busy. Ordered a bacon roll. Waitress explained our order would take a little longer than usual as they had just taken an order for a large party. True enough there was a table of at least 12 people. We didn't seem to wait overly long for our bacon roll which was very tasty indeed and a generous amount of bacon.We then ordered cake which was lovely. We had a nice lunch in pleasant surroundings attended by friendly efficient staff.

We have visited on a few occasions since our first visit, and it is always good food at a reasonable price. Also the staff are always friendly and chatty.

After just buying a house in Tayport, I decided to try out the local harbour cafe. I've been on two occasions now and both times I really enjoyed my time there. The Harbour Cafe is a community run cafe - staff were friendly and polite, service was good and the food was also lovely. There was also a great selection of cakes on display - not great when you're trying to diet but amazing news for everyone else! The only slight critique that I would say would have led me to giving this a 5 star review would be that the second time I visited, the tables were slightly slow to be cleared, and when I sat at a table, it took a slight wait before my table was wiped down from the last customers. However, on a Saturday during a lunch time rush I understand that sometimes things aren't always spic and span as quickly as we'd all like/expect. Portion sizes were good and food was cooked to a high standard on both occasions. The menu was great - lots of choice and the prices were very reasonable - far better than typical cafe prices elsewhere. Overall, this cafe is a great little business. Great food, warm company and a lovely view. I will definitely be back once I've settled in to my new house.

First time visit here today with my wife in the afternoon, after a stroll around the nearby Tentsmuir Forest.Café was fairly busy when we arrived with what looked like a mix of locals and visitors.Internally the café looked fresh, and was kitted out with sturdy tables and chairs.It is a community based café with the majority of the staff being unpaid volunteers.I ordered a black pudding and bacon roll while my wife was able to have a bacon toastie made with gluten free bread as she is a coeliac. She also ordered a pot of tea whilst I chose a cold apple drink.Service was friendly, not long to wait for our order, and the food was good.I noticed they also had a selection of traybakes on offer too, but we resisted the temptation!They had a selection of art hanging on the walls which is for sale, plus a bookcase of 2nd hand books which are available to purchase.Reasonable value for money and we would return.

Lovely food and great service from our server today. Always a pleasure to visit this wonderful community enterprise.

Lovely community run cafe, friendly staff, home made cakes, soups etc. Lovelt setting at the harbour. Great value.

Always popped in when visiting my mother in Tayport. Staff are very welcoming and there is a good choice on the menu, especially the delicious soup and toasties. This is a Community Enterprise and is certainly worth a visit.

Delicious food and drinks served by friendly locals in a warm, welcoming cafe at a great location next to the harbour

This is a community cafe run by friendly volunteers with good food, a decent cheap kids menu and art for sale from local artists. It has gluten-free options and daily specials. What's special about it is that it's welcoming, good value, and family friendly but also suitable for couples or to take away.

Stopped for lunch today. This is a lovely little cafe, spotlessly clean and friendly service. My lentil soup was really tasty what you need on a chilly day. Toasties was yummy too. Great views of the harbour and the Tay. Great little cafe runny volunteers for the community. What more can you ask for? Cakes lovely too.

I have been to the harbour cafe a few times now and the food has always been nice . First impression I thought it was good a but pricey considering we only had two sandwiches and tea. Second time I went I was pleased to see that volunteers are working there however I felt that the young lady volunteering was asking to help and was being ignored a bit due to staff being busy this would have been unintentional but looked a bit bad and made me feel uneasy as I could see the girl was looking slightly uncomfortable, I volunteer places myself and would hate to feel like that. Other than that it's good for food

Haven't been in the Harbour Café for a while now, and all I can say is 'What a difference' I got a takeaway and was very disappointed in the quality and the taste, won't be going back, I could have got a better flavoured sandwich from the local shop!

Service can be a bit slow but since it is primarily run by volunteers this can be excused. All profits are ploughed back into the community.

The food served here is of very good standard and there is always a welcoming feel to the place. All staff and volunteers are very friendly.

On each visit to this community run café I been warmly welcomed, the place is always clean and tidy and the food was well prepared and presented, it's a great asset to the community and I will be visiting again when I am next in the area.

We stopped off here for a quick bite of lunch while walking the Fife Coastal Path. It offered a choice of home made soup, nice sandwiches, cakes and scones. The staff were very friendly and efficient.

I've been here regularly after walking the dogs at Tentsmuir Forrest nearby. Always a really good cup of Coffee.....which is the main thing! Staff always nice and helpful, the cafe always clean and tidy. I appreciate the cafe has volunteers....and have always found they do a great, welcoming and attentive job...including the youngsters. Don't be put off by a negative review, this is a nice place to get a coffee and a snack.
