The Clock tower cafe in Fife

Having walked along the coast path through Pittenweem several times I had no idea that this place was just up the hill. What a find! We saw the sign on the road as we were driving by and made a detour to find it, a great decision! We were lucky to get a table as someone was just leaving, very busy on a Friday early afternoon. We had a delicious peppery vegetable soup with sandwiches. Simple food, perfectly cooked and served with a smile. The cakes looked fantastic but we were full from the soup. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in the area. Highly recommended.

Delightful little cafe near the Clock Tower. Cosy atmosphere with pleasant decor and just the right number of tables, not to feel overcrowded. Staff welcoming and friendly Decent range of food on menu, including breakfast served to 12pm. I had a mug of tea, love that there’s a choice between cup and mug. Toasty was lovely with delicious side salad and amazing home made coleslaw.

Very popular cafe especially with the locals. Had to wait a bit for a table but worth it. Hubby had egg on toast and a coffee with carrot cake. I had coffee with avocado and egg toast and a caramel shortcake. Lovely staff tasty food.

Absolute gem of a find. Staff were so helpful. Food was delicious. Everything was so clean and fresh. I would recommend coming here 100%. Faultless.

Popped into this delightful little cafe for our Sunday brekkie during a recent few days in Pittenweem. Hubby had large breakfast, myself small. Absolutely delicious and for once a really decent mug of tea. Service was excellent. Beautiful, quaint cafe and so pretty inside. Highly recommend and will definitely return.

Oh my! This is just the most perfect place to start any day . We have been coming here everyday for breakfast since we arrived 5 days ago! The staff are just fantastic, friendly, chatty and helpful and the food and the coffee just perfect. Nothing is too much trouble for them and it has been such a lovely addition to a very special time here in the Easy Neuk Cannot recommend highly enough Our black Labrador Murphy has loved it too 😉🐾🐾

The Clock Tower Cafe is excellent. Lovely surroundings, really nice kind staff, brilliant coffee and top class baking. If you're in the area, you must visit this place.

Fabulous and friendly café experience at this place in St Monans. Ideal for our post swim scran. The staff were helpful and accommodating, the food was good honest grub.

Superb lunch with lovely helpful staff set in this delightful little fishing port Excellent home made food and very good menu choices

Eat at the Clocktower twice on our trip and had good food and great service both times. Dog friendly (people friendly too!) and very clean.

Had breakfast here on the final day of our holiday to Fife before the long drive back to Lancashire. I’d read reviews on trip advisor about the clock tower cafe and seeing as so many were positive decided we’d stop off. All I can say is I wish we had similar locally ! Absolutely delicious breakfast. I had the veggie one, partner the full ‘Scottish’ and son a bacon and egg roll. All of it was presented really well, not the slightest bit greasy and very generous. Probably a tad more expensive than an Asda one but the quality of the ingredients was far superior. Staff extremely welcoming and friendly and the cafe itself clean and comfortable in beautiful surroundings.

Great place, fabulous food, very friendly staff who had loads of time to chat and interact with us all.

Absolutely spot on, well priced food nicely presented and tasty. They take dugs too. Very friendly staff. If there is one small criticism, Milk shake is out of a bottle.......

Called here today and had small breakfast with a slice of haggis added and my partner had larger breakfast. This was obviously all cooked freshly to order. The breakfast was delicious with all ingredients tasting lovely especially the haggis. As we ate our brekky there were clearly lots of regulars popping in who the staff knew by name and everybody, including ourselves, were greeted with a friendly welcome. There were a few tables of older diners that had obviously chosen to meet at the cafe regularly which was lovely to see. Well done on quality of food, good price point, customer service and creating a setting for everybody that was warm and welcoming.

Friendly, helpful, prompt service. Varied and extensive menu so different from anything I can get in Edinburgh eateries. Very, very reasonable prices! A local amenity with something for everyone local or visiting tourist. Please go out of your way to stop off here for breakfast, brunch or lunch.

What a lovely friendly place. Sat out in the sun enjoyed lunch and had such lovely service from such smiling friendly staff. Highly reccommend you visit here.

We are regular customers to this lovely cafe, super friendly staff, wonderful atmosphere and delicious food. Very welcoming to kids and dogs. Serves the best babyccino as well!

We were staying in Pittenweem for a week and stopped for breakfast on our last day before leaving. We wished we had popped in during the week too. My partner had the full breakfast and I had a filled roll. Everything was super fresh and...

Comfortable, cheerful cafe in Pittenweem’s sweet, tiny High Street. One of us had excellent sausages and poached eggs, the other the smaller Scottish breakfast, which included delicious haggis. Great coffee and very friendly service, including providing a high chair for the one-year old member of...

Love this little treasure of a place to our little east neuk, The staff are very professional and friendly. Food well presented fantastic cream of mushroom soup and fabulous coronation chicken panini. Defo be back.

Found this lovely little café, asked for avocado and poached egg but unfortunately they'd had a run on this and had ran out so opted for the Bruschetta and wasn't disappointed, a pot of tea for 2 was just the right size. It's a dog...

Saturday morning walk from St. Monans to Pittenweem. Fantastic breakfast at great cafe. Staff really friendly and made to feel very welcome.

This cafe just gets better and better. Excellent coffee and eats and deservedly popular in the East Neuk.

We are a family of 4, with 2 hungry boys. Lovely food, smiley service and great advice on the local area. Menu had good choice, nice and clean.

Enjoyed a lovely Sunday breakfast at this cracking cafe in Pittenweem on Fife's East Neuk coast. Really friendly & welcoming from first entering to departure, with relaxed & attentive - but not OTT - service. Really good cooked breakfast, with quality ingredients, including lovely golden...

Popped in here for a great cooked breakfast after our coastal walk from Anstruther. Quality ingredients, well cooked & at a fair price.

Wonderful cafe, friendly staff with a great sense of humour. The food was perfect, utterly delicious. The coffee was really good as well. Thank you.

What an amazing café! Lovely staff and great food. So welcoming to our six month old border collie puppy as well. We enjoyed it so much we visited three times in two days. Easy to see why it is the meeting hub for locals. We...

A Friday morning. Very busy, had to wait for table. Good cappuccino. Lovely scone with perfect rasp jam. Good buttery apple slice. Very friendly. Will go again.

Lovely friendly cafe. Good selection of simple but delicious fair. We both had hot rolls bacon and sausage with a drink of tea. Very fairly priced.

Found this place, was busy and very accomodating. Food was lovely, wholesome and taisty. Service excellant. Great value for money. Highly recommended.

Stopped off here for breakfast, following a swim in the tidal pool. Full Scottish breakfast was delicious and the service was excellent. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Will definitely return when next in the area.

We had a very good lunch here. Simple, fresh food and first class service. Will definitely return in the future.

We really enjoyed our coffees while sitting outside the cafe at a sunny table. Very friendly staff and good service. Would definitely return.

Totally lovely cafe with such friendly staff. Fab food and drinks, dog friendly and well worth a visit. Had brunch on walk to Cellardyke and back- just had to call in again for cake. Millionaire Cake is to die for.

The Clock Tower Cafe is a gem. Lovely cakes, sandwiches, scones, soup, tea, coffee and more. Sparkling clean. Staff are so friendly and cheery and nothing is too much trouble. Plenty of space inside and we loved sitting outside in the sunshine. 5 stars all...

My husband and I had coffee and cake here. It was a lovely sunny afternoon so we sat outside. The cafe is very dog friendly (biscuits aplenty for the dogs!) and the service we had was fantastic. Both ladies working at the cafe came to...

Lovely friendly staff. Good coffee, great home baking and I would thoroughly recommend the bacon rolls.

Friendly service and first class food. Just a perfect place to start the day. The wee breakfast is a perfect size.

Visited here recently when staying in Pitenweem to celebrate a special birthday with friends. Went for lunch and the food was wonderful - great tasting bread - and the service excellent. Young, very friendly staff and the soup made by the young man was wonderful....

We have visited the cafe for a few years now on day trips or on holidays in the area. When we visited yesterday we found it was under new ownership. We were delighted to find that the service and food was excellent. We were made...

Popped in to escape the rain and so pleased we did! Staff were welcoming and explained they had only been open a couple of weeks. Ambient, freshly decorated surroundings and plenty of choice on the menu. Our cooked breakfasts (one large/one small) were tasty and...

Such a cute place and really very good coffee. The morning rolls were excellent as was the avocado toast. Super friendly folk

Had a wonderful brunch here with the family today everyone ordering something different! Great atmosphere and hospitality first class will definitely be back.

Situated near the church, up the hill from the harbour, small cafe with seats inside and on pavement, v cheerful meet and greet, wide selection of cakes, we ate the cheesecake and cherry bakewell, v tasty with good coffee. Would recommend and revisit

I cant comment about the food as we never got to eat here. We tried to get in for a table for 3 people but were abruptly told there was no room. We asked if we could eat outside at one of the tables if...

We arrived as a family of three and contrary to the last review , the staff were exceptionally friendly. There are some really nice gift shop items; my daughter bought a lovely scarf which was well priced . The food was really delicious and hearty-...

I was with the group that was made unwelcome. What I found upsetting and uncomfortable was the server telling the nearby table m, loud enough that we could hear..we “were in the way”. Trust me, I shall never be in your way again. Shocking

We were excited to try this place but unfortunately they were not friendly nor accommodating with us and a baby. We tried to make room with the tables (which are too huge) but the server just stood there and judged us for attempting to make...

We always return to this place and really like it. After soup we really fancied some of their cake but..they somehow managed to serve us with 2 end bits and even they weren’t cut straight. They really did look quite miserable...maybe a tourist special? We’ll...

Aside from the delicious food and coffee this cozy establishment has to offer. The staff are wonderful. My daughter and baby and myself are regulars here. We are greeted like family and the baby always fussed over. They stop for a chat and have listening...

4 of us visited for lunch. Delicious and fresh soup, sandwiches and cakes. Artisan breads really yummy. Great value for money, and lovely helpful staff.

Given current times, this cafe has a sense of being really well kept and taking covid precautions seriously without being overbearing. Welcoming and friendly staff, great service and a wide range of snack food. Cakes look fabulous. A busy wee place, clearly very popular and...

What a friendly and welcoming cafe. Full Scottish breakfast excellent even when an unexpected power cut hit! Good covid practices in place. Would definitely recommend. We were staying up the road in Crail but worth the short journey.

Fab food and nice place but card machine never working and no place to get cash nearby if post office closed. We used the cafe a lot but less now as need to have cash. Can't understand why he can't get card machine fixed as...

welcomed by the owner. Cafe warm and cosy with the lovely smell of fresh baking and morning rolls. Had coffee and bacon roll which hit the spot. Felt very safe as all covid measures such as hand gel, masks and tables further apart are being...

What a fantastic cafe! We visited the Clock Tower several times when we were in Pittenweem last week. The staff were outstanding and so welcoming. Our 2 dogs were given so much attention and biscuits!! The cakes and coffee were superb but the full Scottish...

We had a lovely lunch here last week. 8 of us walked in and were accommodated well despite it being busy. Staff were friendly, attentive and great with the kids. Super menu offering great value for money. Food delicious and quickly served. We'll be back!

We are visiting the area from the central belt for the second time this year. Tried to eat here in the summer after we read the fantastic reviews but we couldn't get a table!! Back this week to finally try it out and so pleased...

A delightful visit on a thoroughly miserable, rainy day. Service was very friendly and efficient and the food couldn’t be faulted. Highly recommend.

Discovered this delightful cafe whilst exploring Pittenweem. Staff extremely helpful and friendly. Food delicious, and the cakes were outstanding! Can thoroughly recommend this cafe. We will be back!

Whilst travelling through Fife, Scotland, I popped in to the Clock Tower Cafe (Pittenweem) for lunch and to charge up my phone. I have NEVER experienced such fantastic and friendly service. The staff spent considerable time with me, working out my Sunday bus-times to get...

Stopped for drinks and cake on Sunday. Very friendly welcome. Good hot chocolate good cake and a lovely chat with the staff. Will be returning when next in area

Very reasonably priced full Scottish breakfast. Nice gift items to buy. Tables inside and out. Takeaway. We enjoyed it and will definitely be back.

We visited this cafe, restaurant on our Fife coastal walk, to be greeted by a warm welcome. This hideaway has everything, fantastic food and staff, Darren, his wife and everyone. I had for my birthday breakfast, Strawberries and warm Pancakes with cream, it was soooooo...

Lovely friendly place, very safety conscious. Proper (scotch) pancakes. Great start to the day, highly recommend and would definitely go again.

This cafe does the best full Scottish breakfast I have ever eaten and for such a fantastic price. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, the cafe is spotlessly clean and the cakes are amazing!

On holiday in the area and in need of coffee we looked on the internet for a good cafe - The Clock Tower Cafe came up. Dropped by for coffee but as it was basically lunchtime we were quickly persuaded by the lunch specials on...

By chance I stopped at The Clock Tower Cafe and with the friendly meeting & greeting I was impressed immediately. The food was delicious, well presented and plenty of it! The price was so competitive - I would have expected my lunch to cost more...

Had a great visit to the clock tower cafe. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, food was delicious and arrived very quickly. Dog friendly too which was a real bonus for us.

Food was lovely, child friendly and they adapted food for allergies. Sandwiches were fresh, and even when the place was busy food and service was still perfect.

We had a take away lunch here, the food was nice but the staff were not exactly friendly. I also feel that while it may be acceptable for staff not to wear face masks behind the screen at the till (?) If they have to...

What a lovely surprise find! A delicious brunch sitting in the sunshine outside the family run The Clocktower cafe. Warm and super friendly- we can’t wait to return. Thank you Darren and team 😊

Right time and place for a great lunch. Unplanned stop. The 4 of us ate outside and were hosted really well. Clear awareness of covid restrictions everywhere but helpful and not intrusive. Very people / dog and family friendly :)

Terrific cafe on main village street. Lovely warm welcome from owners and staff. Very dog friendly. Great breakfast rolls, soup and toasties. Look forward to another visit next year! James, Ali n family

We’ve been staying in Pittenweem for the past week and dined here several times Lovely food and great service from friendly staff. Looking forward to visiting again when in the East Neuk

We noticed a sign in the way into Pittenweem for the Clocktower and so glad we found it. Great food and all the staff without exception were lovely. This will be our go to place in Pittenweem from now on. Thankyou Clock tower cafe.

This was the perfect place for a post swim brunch. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We can’t wait to go back x

We had lunch yesterday as luckily there was a table vacant. Friendly efficient service from helpful staff. Home made soup was very good. Sandwiches on a lovely brown loaf were so fresh too. Bread made by local artisan bakers Barrats. Even though the restaurant was...

Fantastic eatery, food was amazing. We had cooked breakfasts and pancakes, bacon/maple syrup. Kid friendly and staff were so welcoming. Highly recommend!

Service and food are first class especially the breakfasts and our dogs loved being fussed over. The home baking is also very very good

Fantastic cafe. Some of the best food we’ve tasted. Home cooked flavour and very well priced. Will visit again next time we’re down that way. Lovely, friendly staff too.

Stopped here for lunch on the first day of our staycation in the East Neuk. Fabulous welcome, friendly staff and a great menu to suit us all made for a really great experience. Couldn't resist some of the delicious cakes after our sandwiches and paninis....

Highly recommended for food and friendliness. We had plenty to choose from the menu. We will be back.

We visited here while on holiday in Pittenweem. We were a party of 6, 4 adults and 2 children. We had a lovely breakfast here, staff are friendly. This place is covid safe. We were just sad we could only visit it the once while...

You are always welcome at this cafe. It has great cakes and traybakes and also offers light hot and cold meals. I am partial to the cheesburger and the malteser slice. It is a relief that the cafe has survived all the lockdowns and is...

My husband and I stopped off here for lunch and a cuppa while doing the Crail to Elie coastal walk. What a gem of a place! The owners were so lovely and welcoming, everything felt very COVID-safe and the food was delicious. I had a...

Really friendly staff and a good choice of sandwiches, salads, jacket potatoes and cakes. We had a lovely lunch here on a busy Sunday in Pittenweem. Check out the cake display at the back of the cafe!

Our visit was on a cold day so a warming bowl of soup was desired. There was only one choice on the menu - chunky vegetable. Sorry to say that this was a bowl of home made watery soup with chunks of root vegetables swimming...

We found this place by chance today and thought we would give it a go. As it was a nice day we chose to sit outside. My friend went inside to order and was served very quickly. The food and drinks arrived promptly. There were...

Super friendly welcome, co-vid rules abiding with military precision. Great food and drinks. Total must recommendation if you are hungry or just want a snack.

Enjoying a coast walk from Crail to Pittenweem was made perfect with a lovely lunch at The Clocktower Cafe. Soup and sandwich, with plenty of fillings. We will be back.

What a brilliant little cafe with outstanding cakes, food, coffee and refreshments. Honestly, this little gem of a place was buzzing with life from local folk to tourists alike. The welcome was warm and hospitable from the owner, Darren, and his lovely team. The vibe...

Great food and service to match. Hadn’t heard of this place, but read the Trip Advisor reviews so decided to give it a try on a rainy Wednesday morning. When we arrived the cafe was already very busy and we were lucky to get one...
