Thai Teak in Fife

Excellent little road-side cafe near Balmullo, Fife, with views over the Eden estuary. Their is always a great choice of food, and the outside seating area is good for taking a dog.

We have now visited twice to have lunch on a weekend and managed to get a table outside on the lovely balcony to enjoy beautiful views over the fife countryside (worth visiting just for this!). We ordered paninis and were surprised to be able to select any filling combos from the long list of options and for a good price. My partner had salmon bree and red onion for the same price as my chicken (very reasonable for salmon!) The sandwich came with a lovely salad with dressing and a delicious home made coleslaw and crisps. Best local lunch we have had so far. The staff can be a bit rustic but it’s a farm after all so don’t expect a ritz service you are in the countryside. Definitely worth a visit for lunch- check website for lunch times and book if you want the balcony view.

The food was very tasty and well presented although some of the items still on the menu board were not available. However the staff were not particularly welcoming and we didn’t like the fact that the one and only toilet opened directly onto the dining area. Would not hurry to return.

Overall would have given 5 stars, but I can't get my head around the pricing for the coffees. Everything else was priced on average with other Coffee Houses/Cafes in the area, and the quality was fine, we had a scone too and that was great, very nice texture. So for a regular Latte/Cappuccino was £2.40, but a large was £4.30. Thats a £1.90 difference (79% increase). The average around our area is between 30p - 50p a difference between regular and large. My head is bursting with so many questions... Is there a 79% increase in size of the cup volume? Is there a 79% increase in the cost of raw materials that justify the increase? Is there a combined 79% increase in size and quality, to avoid a bigger cup? It actually gets worse if you want a flavour shot in your Latte, its a increase of 50p on a regular. Which is on the excessive side, but then a further £2.30 added if you want that in a large. Over £5 for a cup of coffee is ridiculous, just ridiculous. Not sure if we will be back as this really can't be fair. Also the sign warning you that you have to spend over £5 to pay by card, really? Please negotiate a better deal with your credit card merchant, the marketplace is very competitive now. Equally though when its over £5 for a coffee, then it can't be too much of an issue.

I have thought long and hard. I have never in my 54 years submitted a negative review. My mum enjoys it here, so I took her and my son and husband. Although I am vegan I am pretty pragmatic and understand that we cater for all, so I didn't mind being there. I didn't mind there being zero vegan options either. I did mind though being addressed rudely when I asked if the soup was vegan. The owner said "cmon what do you expect we're a farm". Contrast this with last month when visited a creamery in Galloway. Because I was there with my husband, and I don't impose my dietary choices on them. No I am not comfortable with dairy, but I don't embarrass restaurants by making a fuss. When I asked for a vegan option at the Colfin Creamery the chef made me a wonderful dish. I was taking my guests to Thai Teak even though it was not what I would want and to be met with such a rude attitude has meant I will never return. My omnivore husband was actually more annoyed than me.

Amazing Food. Great service with a wide range of food lovely shop and shed with different works you can look at and buy. Will 100% be back.

We decided to drop in for a spot of lunch extensive menu and the food was absolutely out of this world. staff couldn't do enough for you and were all wonderful home cooked food at its best with local produce. Book in advance if you can as it looks like it can get busy. Was a really memorable nice lunch thank you

What a treat to return here, it was hard to choose from the selection of scones overflowing with various fruits but I went with my favourite --- cheese and chive--and watched it nearly melt in the sunshine on the balcony. My furry dining companion agrees the scones are the best for miles around--we often take home extras for the freezer. Everything--indoor and outdoor seating, the loo and entry--was gleaming and clean.

After a wander around the adjacent shop, and a few purchases (lots of lovely things to browse!) we very much enjoyed afternoon tea here.Gorgeous tea room that felt cosy but not crowded, and really lovely staff.Our tea comprised of a selection of full sized sandwiches (you choose which varieties you fancy from the daily specials - cheese and pickle, and egg mayo for us) warm pancakes with butter, fresh cream and strawberry jam made on the premises. The jam is delish and available to buy, highly recommend picking a jar up when you leave.There was also Viennese swirls, mini victoria sponges and a selection of tray bakes, all washed down with a generous pot of tea. We already cant wait to re-visit!

This is one of my favourite places to go for lunch when I come home to see the family. We've been visiting for years - those baked potatoes are our go to! Lovely portion size and a lovely view!

The cafe is cosy and has a nice view over the Eden estuary and Leuchars airbase. The food and drink are a bit more expensive than your normal cafe but the food does taste good. A toilet is available to customers and the cafe has ample parking. Thai Teak has a large collection of furniture, ornaments and curios for sale, well worth a visit for that unusual gift.

Came here for lunch, had a Cajun chicken toastie and a pulled pork burrito, followed by a blueberry scone. Food is absolutely gorgeous, everything tastes great right down to the dressing on the salad. Staff are pleasant, lovely little place will be back :)

Fresh tasty food served by friendly staff. Portions are quite generous and a bit “different” Would recommend.

Had a lovely family meal here, it was delicious. Staff were very friendly too. Will definitely be back.

Today we were met by an impatient and unwelcoming cafe manageress who seemed not to want our business. Her first words were "I hope you don't want lunch. We stopped serving at 3." This was at 3.04 pm (and only because we had purchased something from the shop which you have to bring across to the cafe to pay for). We would have been happy to order lighter options, but her attitude was so brusque we decided to find somewhere friendlier. I have visited Thai Teak many times and never been spoken to in this way before, in fact the same woman was laughing and joking with me on other occasions. Interesting that this was the only time I have been there wearing any gay insignia, although I have no idea if that was the cause of her upset. Whatever her reason, I won't be taking people back there again, not a pleasant experience.

Stopped off on route for lunch for road trip to Aberdeen . Never had a bad meal in this restaurant. Food delicious all the family very happy with the meals they received . Fresh home made . My husband loved the soup . I always have to have a scone after my meal . The home made jam is amazing £2 a jar . It’s a must visit you won’t be disappointed. Friendly and always helpful x

Great place to visit. Lovely staff and the food was all homemade and amazing! The pancakes were particularly phenomenal! It is a bit off the beaten track but give it a try it’s worth it! There’s also a really nice shop with handcrafted woodwork and more!

Nice menu with a few different things on it, all delightfully served by the friendly staff. We come here regularly as, apart from the good food, it is a nice place to eat with nice views over farmland, and of course the Thai Teak shop is always worth a wander round too with some unusual things on sale.

You have the option of being seated inside or outside on sunnier days. The food is all freshly made on the premises and is served at your table by extremely helpful and friendly staff. Menu includes soup, baked potatoes with fillings, wraps, toasties and homemade bread, scones, biscuits and cakes.

Had lunch here and enjoyed it, however it was quite expensive considering I have ate the very same at another place for half the price. Nice place to stop at on the passing!

Visited for lunch today, meal was lovely however on watching the staff in the open kitchen was taken aback to watch one lady prepping food with bare hands while putting some food into her mouth and running her hand through her hair!!! To compound my disgust on going to pay at the side of the kitchen there was a young girl obviously on her break leaning on the work surface eating from a bowl of food.....why are staff eating in kitchen and not at a designated table?? Also a gentleman in dirty work clothes entered the kitchen and came out with food....I work in the food industry and this to me is sub standard food hygiene practice.

we like to drive over from central Scotland in the winter for a walk on the beach at Tentsmuir. We have struggled to find anywhere at all for a coffee on the way nearby and happened to see the brown sign on the road directing us off towards a cafe near Logie. We were delighted to find the little restaurant and even more delighted that it was open on a winter Monday! We enjoyed our scone and tray bake and coffee so much that we decided to have lunch on our way home. The soup was gorgeous and the sandwich sublime, with loads of salads. I had to take home half my sandwich in a bag as it was so generous!

Have been here a number of times and have not been disappointed, the staff are very friendly and the food is delicious. It was opened one night for a Thai evening, the food was great,you had to take your own wine etc., as it's not got a license, we had a lovely time. Hope they do it again, would definitely go.

Delicious home cooked food especially soup. Unusual varieties. Few tables so always busy. Well worth a visit.

Food is fab. Fresh , tasty and loads of choice. If only the staff would look as if they liked being there or liked people it would be great. A cheery word and smile would make it just sublime!

As opposed to the grumpiest and unco-operative staff ever we now have graduates of a charm school.....what a difference there excellent level of service is to the whole eating out experience. As ever the food is absolutely superb and excellent value for now but now the staff definitely give the impression of being interested in the wishes of the customers instead of following their own agenda of grumpiness. Congratutions to everyone involved in the conversion process!

I went to the Thai teak with my family after a rubbish time at the V&A; museum. We stepped through the door with low expectations, due to the rundown location the cafe was based. We ordered our food (3 medium americano’s, one apple and black currant fruit shoot, a fruit scone, hummingbird cake and soup of the day, being tomato chilli and spinach). Once I had received my soup, me being the bearer of the soup, I took a big slurp of the thick, tomatoey goodness and I was instantly hooked. I highly recommend this place because it is reasonably priced and the items of confections are delicious.

Went for lunch on recommendation of a friend. Rustic decor but food excellent. Would have loved to sample one of the lovely cakes on offer but was absolutely stuffed after my toasty. Huge servings with unusual salad and dressing. Will definitely return for coffee and a cake or scone - they looked divine. Nicely decorated toilet facilities with Jo Malone soap and lotion. Immaculately clean

Very friendly place, second time we have been in a week ! Prompt service, great menu

This was a nice mid morning break, tea coffee and scones

My wife and I now regularly go here for a bite of lunch. The quality of food is excellent and prices are reasonable. Often have unusual but delicious specials on - so check them out

Best scones in the area accompanied by butter and home made raspberry jam. Thai Teak scones are excellent. Yesterday I had a slice of their homemade Pimms Cake. So moist and delicious taste. Coffee always good.

En route back to St Andrews from Dundee, a little light lunch was requested even though it needed a small detour.

Meet with friends for a cuppa and a blueberry scone. Delicious. I have also had lunch here and always enjoyed our visits and food.

Went here for Father’s Day while the food is superb it does not make up for the terrible customer services my dad asked for fat to be trimmed off bacon if possible rather rude waitress went into kitchen to see what she can do and out came another lady who said basically you have bacon or you don’t to him ,won’t be back which is sad as it’s a beautiful location and food as I said is lovely but we went for a relaxing family breakfast and it’s anything but !

As always, fantastic food, good helpings and homemade. Never disappoints. Scones homemade and big with delicious homemade raspberry jam. Fluffy, piping hot baked potatoes too. Just yummy!

I would like to let people know about this fantastic place where I have attended many Thia nights and had a fabulous evening, the staff are curtious and helpful my friends and family are always keen for the next date, food is prepared from fresh ingredients and is flavoursome in every way, staff always happy to explain what is in the different soups and mains, you can have as much as you want and will always leave satisfied the deserts are to die for I would highly recommend this for anyone wanting to sample Thia food right on your doorstep palashial heaven can't wait for the next one soon I hope

Lovely evening, good food, very nice staff. Excellent access for my power wheelchair. Will happily return.

The Thai special menu was overpriced and lacking in flavour. A number of the clientele were the worse for wear and their antics and noisiness added insult to injury. I would never go back

We both chose a sandwich/panini,and was amazed at the plateful we received. Fresh and delicious it was also very filling, the view was a lovely bonus. When paying our bill could not resist the scones,they were huge, so I want to recommend the Cheese and chive. They are amazing. Enjoy

I totally understand that things happen and wouldn't be on here slagging the place off if it wasn't for the way my complaint about finding a bone in my coronation chicken and other issues was handled. In my opinion its the way it is dealt with after a problem has happened about how professional a business is. I am disgusted at the attitude of the person in charge and what she said to my partner when he went to settle the bill, so felt it was only fair to let people know what my experience was of this place. After finding a bone in the coronation chicken that was the filling for my baked potato I couldn't eat anymore, I had already eaten most of the side salad with the crisps and coleslaw and may I point out I had only had 3 forkful of the coronation chicken I didn't want to eat anymore ( I am sure most people are like this when they find items in their food). The young server girl just said sorry and that the chicken was fresh ( well I would hope it was fresh, but i'm assuming what she mean was it was from a whole cooked chicken cooked on the premises....which still doesnt warrant a bone being in there and it was quite a sizeable bone not a tiny bit that could have been missed when breaking up the chicken). Anyway I would have expected someone in charge to have come across or asked if I would have liked something else. Not the case but my partner did state at that point "I dont think we should have to pay for that" Not unreasonable considering the bone was discovered when it was in my mouth biting down on it and not on the plate. The lady taking the bill said " sorry about the bone in the chicken, it was fresh chicken today " (again with the fresh chicken today explanation??) then said the total bill and "I havent charged you for the baked potato, but I think it is unfair considering that you have ate half of it" ( Like I said earlier I had 3 forkfulls and ate most of the side salad, all of the coleslaw and the crisps that came at the side of it hardly ate half of it. What an attitude. I could have complained about the service which took 3 attempts to clear the table then I had to ask the table be wiped clean which was covered in sticky jam and when it was cleaned it still had sticky jam on it and I ended up sliding over to the other seat which seems cleaner. The service in my opinion wasnt the best but the nail in the coffin was the attitude after regarding the fact that the whole place heard her speaking about the bone and that finding it unfair not to charge as half of it was eaten ( even if half of it was eaten that is no way to treat a customer) Wont ever be back and I hope this shocking customer service never happens to someone else.

Great place to while away an hour -good teak objects to browse and an excellent cafes with fresh food and tasty coffee.

We took our family on Monday here and they had no rolls or baguettes but were advertising them girl was a bit slow.we then ordered other things it was okay but our service was not up to usual standards .i thought on a Monday they would be fully stocked.place was busy but think staff could have been friendlier would not hurry back.

Arrived here only because our first choice was too busy. I ordered a bacon roll, unfortunately the breakfast menu which had a choice of 2 items was unavailable after 11.30am. I fully understand this in places where the breakfast menu is full and varied but how a bacon roll could not be rustled up is beyond me. So I had an egg roll or rather I asked for an egg roll and was given a plate of crisps and salad and an egg roll. Why do these places not ask? All I wanted was an Egg roll. Anyway my wife had the same so we had 2 Egg rolls and tea for 2 total cost £17.20!!! Tea bag 1p roll 20p they were selling eggs i am sure it was £1.50 for a 6 so approx. 20p each so 40p salad cost max 50p. So total cost for them 1p+20p+40p+50p = £1.11 x 2 £2.22 leaving them a grand profit of £14.98 . Now I am well aware of staffing costs etc. but for pity sake this is an absolute rip off of a place and I will never ever be back. NB. I noticed they were advertising a Thai night £40 a head I thought must be all inclusive then noticed BYOB written below. Must be getting the food sent direct from Thailand for that price so expect a wait if you decide to go.

This little gem of a cafe is built on stilts to take in the wonderful panorama. The cakes are absolutely amazing although they also do soup, sandwiches and other light lunch dishes. Wile away hours drinking in the views and lovely coffee!

Obviously a popular place. It was full house when we arrived for lunch.

This wee gem is more than coffee shop with a wonderful atmosphere. all the food is all home baked, cooked,...

Just been for lunch and I have to say that everything was perfect. Very pleasant service and wonderful simple food....

Food was lovely as were the staff. However we found the cafe itself really dated and the tables were so...

Nunca me decepcionó cuando me visita aquí. La comida es siempre recién preparada, casera y deliciosa. Hay una selección enorme que es impresionante teniendo en cuenta el tamaño de la cocina y las tartas de debido. Recomiendo encarecidamente este excelente cafetería.

Nos detuvimos para comer mientras conducíamos por fife buena selección de relleno para sándwiches y patatas al horno y la presentación fue de primera clase. La habitación era lo que era, un antiguo cobertizo convertido, tenía un poco de carácter y algunos muebles más viejas.

A must to visit either the Shop or the Coffee/Tea Shop. The shop is situated across from the Café and full of unusual gifts and furniture. The Café itself is good to visit to relax in.

Stopped here a few times over the years.The staff are always very pleasant and keep the place clean and tidy.Always a good choice whether you want a snack or a meal their is something for everyone.It is always busy which is a good sign in its self.And it's worth popping into the shop next to it to find something different for your home.Looking forward to my next visit.

Great service by happy staff. Not the cheapest but wonderful food and a great selection. Pancakes were amazing. Definitely recommend it.

First visit to Thai Teak for lunch with hubby. Good choice of sandwiches & fillings ( which is really great for us veggies) my only criticism is they don't give you the choice of semi-skimmed milk in your coffee, which is really disappointing as I can't take full cream milk. The coffee house is small but very clean & fabulous views of the surrounding countryside, I would go back if I could get my coffee made with semi-skimmed. Love the shop with all the Thai Teak furniture etc.

Had a really nice lunch good portion size and high quality ingredients only dropped it one star as no option of semi skimmed milk for the coffee but will definitely be back.

Stopped here for lunch with a group, delicious food, varied menu, good service, will be back there again soon

Dropped in here for a bit of lunch and a cake. Both very good. Service okay. The owner's dog was a bit annoying, constantly begging for food around the tables. Environment a bit dated but okay for a quick stop off. Teak shop across the way full of furniture and nick-nacks. Average visit.

I've been here for lunch lots of times and have recommended to many people. The staff are always super friendly and the food is freshly prepared and delicious. The views are great too.

I have stopped here with friends for lunch on a number of occasions and the food has always been reliably good. There are a wide variety of sandwiches, cakes, etc. the service has always been friendly and prompt. Today was no exception. The outlook on to the fields and rolling hills of Fife is pleasant. During the week it tends to get very busy between 12 and 1 p.m., but it is possible to reserve a table.

stopped here after a long journey due to recommendation. food quite tasty although not outstanding, overshadowed by rudeness of a staff member I am led to believe is daughter of owner. she could clearly be heard talking about customers and sneering. do not visit hear unless you wish to be ridiculed

standard lunch fare, but always with a Thai speciality to add "spice" to meal choice. AThai collectables shop adjacent is an interesting visit (but beware the life size Tha iteak elephants if you live in a small flat !)

If you happen to be anywhere near here and like cake then this is a must stop. Delicious home baked cake with great welcoming atmosphere.

We stopped off here around one o'clock so they were busy. My wife needs gluten free food so the waiters checked and recommended a few of the suitable dishes. My wife is not very adventurous but went for the Squash and Bacon soup and I ordered the same. The waitress explained they didn't have gluten free bread, only oatcakes and brought the box over so my wife could check the ingredients - nice touch. The soup was excellent and we both enjoyed it, mine came with toasted crusty bread. We had tea and coffee and homemade cakes to follow and once again the ingredients were detailed to my wife. Very nice and we will be back with my daughter next time as they do chocolate and raspberry pancakes which she loves.

Always a busy venue for lunch but at the same time the food is excellent. With a small venue however comes challenge and I believe on this occasion we had to wait just a little too long for our meal and the tables were not full. I had a Thai Currie which I thoroughly enjoyed and my wife had superb salad. The menu was comprehensive and favourably priced. The setting is OK. There is something quite quirky about Thai Teak and we have never been disappointed with the food. Thank you.

It's just perfect The food ,the service ,The dessert It's a lovely cafe with nice views , the staff are very friendly and the place was very clean Everything seemed home made and fresh A must visit whilst in the area or why not drive there you won't be disappointed Thank you x

We went here on recommendation and I will never return!! The menu is possibly the worst laid out menu I have ever seen!! We weren't informed of any shortages before we ordered, so when we did order the waitress then had to return as they'd run out of baguettes. I ordered the coronation chicken on brown bread, the waitress then had to return to the table to check what type of bread I wanted. When the food came out it was very well presented, and looked tasty. However, when I bit into the sandwich I had a nasty surprise as firstly I crunched down in a bone!! Then I realised that the chicken used was roast chicken, which has its own flavour, and it was very greasy!! So I picked the piece of bone out of my mouth and took another bite, this time I had a large piece of gristle. My sister had ordered the same, and had planned to give some to her infant daughter so I warned her that there was bone and gristle in the meat. She then opened her sandwich to immediately find a two inch piece of bone!!! And that wasn't the only one!! The staff were clearly run off their feet so I caught the eye of a waitress as soon as I could and handed my plate to her, stating that there was lots of bone in the chicken, her face immediately soured, and through clenched jaw she asked if I wanted anything else, to which I declined. My sister was unable to catch the attention of any waitresses for some time and when she did, and informed the lady that she also had lots of bone, the lady walked away without actually saying anything!! Then, the woman in charge came over and was immediately confrontational stating that as they use fresh chicken there's bound to be some bone...She continued to argue with us and eventually walked away stating, not asking, that she would only charge us for one sandwich. My mum was paying the bill for the table and she then continued to insist on charging as my sister had eaten the salad!! Whilst paying my mum spoke to my other sister, quietly, and the woman turned round and very loudly asked 'what was that??' Obviously thinking my mum was speaking about her, which she wasn't!! I was waiting to pay for our table and she wasn't aware at that time that I was the other person who had complained. When I came to pay she actually charged me £1 for eating my coleslaw!! I have honestly never had such shocking service for what was clearly a valid complaint!!! I can only be thankful that I noticed the bone before my infant niece choked on it!!! I will not recommend this place to anyone and will never return!! Utterly shocking behaviour!!!

Fabulous food, great service and you must taste the raspberry and blackberry jam. The jam jars are too small so buy at least two. It is also worthwhile having a look around the Thai teak showroom where you will see items of furniture and carvings you will never have seen before and reasonably priced I thought.

Our group of six and a baby was a bit of a tight fit in the small dining room, but the ladies made us feel right at home.Great menu, great service and be sure you leave room for an "after." Mine is usually a scone.You can also get frozen scones to take with you and they are really great the next morning with a cup of coffee at home.This was our second trip to Thai Teak this trip and I'm sure we will be back.

nice setting, baking amazing but coffee lets them down. Well worth a visit though, main courses provided as well,

Just a quick coffee stop on a truly awful day weatherwise. Cafe was busy towards the end of lunch service, however we were seated and served quickly. Coffee was good, but the scones - one savoury and one sweet - were awesome! The homemade rasp jam was excellent.

My wife and I stopped off here in the early afternoon. Our first visit, although we have passed it countless times as we frequent this road.Firstly we had a look in their shop which is huge inside with several rooms and an upstairs section too. The vast majority of their stock is carved wooden items, all imported from Thailand - anything from a miniature elephant which would fit in the palm of your hand to almost life sized elephants, dining sets, carved pictures, wardrobes, rocking horses plus much, much more. They also have a selection of non-wood items too. A real Aladdin's Cave and truly worth a visit if you like unusual items.In addition to the shop they also have a covered outdoor section with carved garden furniture.The café, in keeping with the Thailand theme, is built on stilts. Internally the café is quite small and fills up rather quickly as it is a busy place. Their menu comprised sandwiches, toasties, baked potatoes, salads, soups and cakes amongst other items.Our main intention was to have a light lunch. I chose the yellow broth soup with brown bread whilst my wife chose the Cullen skink soup (her first ever time of trying it) and a latte.If I'm honest we were not expecting too much, but both of the soups were very tasty and exceeded our expectations.Service was friendly enough.would definitely return.

This little cafe was recommended to me by a friend and I am very glad she did. Located in the middle of the countryside, it's really only accessible by car but it is very much worth the trip. The cafe itself, although appearing quite small at first glance, is well laid out and provides plenty of space for eating. They offer a wide selection of breakfast and lunch food, which won't disappoint and will not break the bank. The staff are extremely friendly and attentive, creating a very warm atmosphere. Overall, a lovely little cafe to visit and I will definitely be back.

The cafe is easy to find with ample parking. The cafe is small but well laid out. We were served quickly and all chose different sandwich options. The food was excellent but one order was wrong. They offered to change it but as the others already had their food we decided to have it anyway. Sandwiches were served with a tasty dressed salad, coleslaw and crisps. We took home some very tasty looking scones. Overall a great find and will be back.

The cafe sits just of the main road and can get very busy particularly at lunchtime. I've visited a couple of times now and haven't been disappointed with either the food on offer or the service - oh it's not that expensive either. They do a range of cakes and pastries as well as hot dishes including a range of Thai curries which are very good.

We are regular visitors and have never been disappointed. Soup on this visit was pleasingly unusual and simply superb. Cheese scones are the best I have found this far and coffee is consistently very good. Surprised to read negative reviews about staff as service has always been excellent.

Friendly café/coffee shop with good views over the countryside, fast, friendly and efficient table service.Main dishes are also available.

I can't believe that I've driven past this place fairly regularly for 8 years and have called in for the first time only yesterday! The cafe is probably best described as 'small, but perfectly formed'. It's clean and pleasantly decorated, with friendly efficient staff, providing a table service. It was clear on entering that this is a popular place as it was almost full at noon and 2 of the three tables left were reserved! The menu was small, but other options were available on a blackboard. Everything seemed home made and looked fabulous. The only thing I would mention is that one the place gets full, there is little room to manoeuvre and for the larger frame (myself included) it was more than a squeeze to get through to the toilets. On a fine weather day there are additional tables on a balcony/veranda. No review would be complete though, without mention of the clear, open views across the rolling fields and beyond. Well worth a trip and even a mile or two out of your way.

The food was simply superb....an excellent Thai curry, brilliant scones and everything else just right. Welcoming us was a notice advising that they required staff....and they certainly do since currently they feature a waitress who simply seems intent to spoil the meal. She got the order wrong...with no apology instead a defence of what she had done. I asked for a receipt having spent over fifty pounds...she got the receipt wrong....but, more important, she simply does not care...she is rude, she takes forever to serve and it is all so much of a problem for her. Great real and bring the service to the superb quality of the food

Popped in here last Saturday for a coffee. The previous day we had been in a patisserie in Edinburgh for a coffee and scone but disappointingly the scone tasted as though it had been heated in microwave and jam was in one of those little mass produced jars. Not the case here , we had the most delicious fresh blueberry scones and fresh home made raspberry jam . In fact they were selling jars of the jam for only £2. I didn't buy any as I make all my own jam which I why I never like the mass produced jam offered in most venues . Will definitely be back

I stopped with my 3 children and dog on Friday on the way to St Andrews. The café was completely full and I asked if I could sit outside which was fine, as I needed to keep an eye on my son in the car. The waitress who served us had such an attitude and did not appear to like children as we added more to the order, when my son felt better. The curry was amazing as was the soup and toastie. The children were keen to go back on Sunday on the way home - with my 2 elderly parents. Again good quality food, but the waiting staff were abrupt, and really downright rude - walking into the kitchen mocking us.... again similar situation as a previous review, about not appearing to like children. My youngest was upset about something and I took here out of the café, and we came back in she was still a little moany.... and if looks could kill from the waiting staff....then my Mum had the soup and it came with bread, she asked the waitress if she could have the cheese scone instead when it came out. Again this was a huge problem, the fact that my 77 year old mother had not mentioned that she wanted a cheese scone, it said clearly on the menu and she should have read it...... it was a true comment but it was the way it was communicated. I must say that their attitude and behaviour was completely different to locals....it is almost as though "outsiders" are burdensome and not worth being decent too. Much as I loved the food I will not be back, my 5, 8 and 9 year old all commented too about how rude the staff were and were really quite upset about how they have been treated.

With relatives in Cupar and Balmullo we always have slowed at the corner where Thai Teak is situated and then just kept on driving, saying "we need to try that sometime."Well the other day we stopped. We should have done it sooner!Lovely homemade soup, scones, and that was all we had time to try. Oh and the coffee was wonderful as well. We will try other things next trip. This is worth going out of your way for The service was outstanding and the view wonderful.My daughter also has new wooden candlesticks as a result of our visit to the gift shop after our late morning refreshment.

Good value home made soup, I has lentil and bacon, with beautifully fresh bread, while partner had cauliflower soup and chicken sandwich. We had the breakfast bar window seat and enjoyed a lovely view over to the sea in the distance.

This is our favourite place to have lunch. The food is incredible and the dressing in the salads is mouth watering. I always get excited when my partner tells me we are going here for lunch. This place is not to be missed. There are two gorgeous dogs also that sit outside, they are really friendly. There is a real furniture store attached which is all handmade, we have bought several things from there.Can't wait to go back.

This Thai teak house is an ideal place to stop off for tea/coffee and home baked cakes or a delicious lunch. To top it all is the friendly service and a lovely welcome from the very well behaved dog.

We often have lunch here and it's great for vegetarians and omnivores alike. Lovely soup today, and my husband's toastie with salad, home made coleslaw and crisps was super. Great coffee. Friendly helpful staff.

I'm a regular customer here , great baked potatoes , lovely lunches and a delicious salad dressing ... Then on to the cakes .... All home made and all delicious ... Well worth a visit if your in the area

very friendly staff and the food was amazing, all homemade and made to order, couldn't ask for better, a gorgeous, friendly little spaniel to greet us on the stairs, I love this place.

One of those places meant to visit but kept on passing it. Don't make the same mistake.Mix of indoor and verandah seating. The day we were there the weather was such that the latter was full. If you've got a dog, note that dog friendly area there.Service quite satisfactory and food good. In fact my soup would give it 5* alone. Yum!There is a shop but had to give it a miss this time.

I have visited here on a few occasions with my wife and family. We have never been disappointed with our meals, fantastic salad bowls and baked potatoes. There is a great selection of scones and cakes, superb.

Been quite a few times over the years and never disappointed, therefore unsurprisingly it is a good idea to book.This very successful restaurant and shop are run by a lovely family

A friend and I visited for a coffee today with our 2 x 4 year olds and young baby. The selection of cake/coffee is great, however during our visit our 4 year old's decided to play with the sugar packets and one opened onto the floor with several being played with. As we left and were the last to leave at 1630 after a 45 minute visit, we forgot something of which I went back in to collect. The lady was clearing the table sorting through the sugar packets and I apologised for them playing with it - the waitress clearly had a problem and told me quite rudely that several of them were 'crushed' and unusable. I have a problem being addressed so rudely and sarcastically from a staff member to a paying customer over a few sugar packets after spending approx. £15 in the cafe. If children are not welcome or expect a few sugar packets to become unusable then either don't allow children in or don't put 20 x sugar selection on your tables. It was a very uncomfortable situation met with attitude - not a good display of service. Disappointing considering how awesome your furniture store is.

You must stop off here when passing situated between Dairsie and Balmullo (on the A914). Anything from a meal to just coffee and home made cakes.

This café offers a good choice of cakes and scones served by friendly staff with great countryside views.Steps to the café that may be a problem for some.

Thai Teak is lovely. The food is amazing; even the salad that came with the main was delicious. Large selection of cakes and puddings. It is a tiny place so it is sensible to book as can be very busy, especially at the weekend. They also have a shop selling real furniture and ornamental things. Highly recommend!

Lovely choice of ( huge) salad bowls £6.90 , thai curries ( Funnily enough...), usual paninis etc. Excellent choice of home made cakes ( if you had room...). No alcohol license.Excellent service from all staff. Beautiful clean toilet ( Molton Brown soap / handcream) . Steps up , so did not appear wheelchair accessible.( Thai teak wooden object shed beside eaterie if you like that type of thing. Will def be back.

We stumbled across this place while on a day out, after we had taken a wrong turning. It was a really pleasant surprise, the salad and soup we had were excellent, with the coleslaw being a particular treat. The scones were also super. Can heartily recommend :)

I went for lunch with a friend a few weeks back on a Monday and the good was delicious and the service was fab. The only reason I am not giving this 5 stars as I was here a month ago with my brother and grandparents, this was my first ever visit , it was a Friday. When we got in my elderly grandparents were asked be a very rude waitress "have you reserved a table?" There is a way of asking this politely and she did not ask in a nice manner, to which we replied no we haven't. This seemed to be a problem even though there were plenty tables free, she then put two table together for us (this felt like a big hassle) we were then unfortunately served by her for the rest of our lunch which was a real shame as she had no customer service skills whatsoever, she was a woman in her 40-50s I'd say, so not like a young teenager who has an attitude problem, though she acted like one!!!! We really felt unwelcome and a hassle to her! The food was still amazing though and this was the only reason I returned with a friend a few weeks back, I am very glad I did as we were served by a lovely young girl who made us feel welcome :)

Popped in to grab takeaway coffee and scones which were delicious. The lady serving wasn't very friendly though, or was perhaps hard of hearing as not great at answering my questions.

Been here a few times and love it each time. Great homemade cakes. Lovely atmosphere. Lovely soup and snacks available on the menu and aswell as homemade ice cream
