The Rhynd in Fife

A fabulous little cafe in an equally fabulous location. Welly/dog friendly it’s definitely worth a visit. We had coffees and cakes which were all fine. Just a note on the hot chocolate’s please make with milk not water - seriously rejected by 10 year old LOL Lovely decor and ambience.

Absolutely beautiful place. Hot fresh food with good portion size and lots of flavour. I love how they hire young people to work here and inspire the local community in working in a good team. Makes the experience feel like home. Highly recommend.

What a great place, lovely decor, friendly staff and delicious food and cake. Would highly recommend.

Have been coming to the rhynd cafe for almost 3 years, food and service is fantastic. Very helpful staff and very nice atmosphere. Would highly recommend

I have been coming to The Rhynd for years mostly after fitness sessions at Rhynd Fitness out the back but often with my partner and dog too - staff are so friendly - I don’t even need to say what coffee I’m having now - cakes are also amazing - especially after a workout 🏋️‍♀️/ it’s a gorgeous place to enjoy sitting out in the courtyard in the summer and equally as nice inside too - I love The Rhynd 😀😀😀😀😀

Such lovely, personable service and delicious treats. Thank you. I'll always be coming back again.

Unacceptable experience. I went here with my mum for breakfast. We got served instantly and ordered our food and drinks. Drinks came within minutes but after an hour out breakfast still hadn't came. The staff were walking past us regularly and asked if we wanted more drinks about 45 mins in. After a while My mum was Loki g at the staff being the till trying to get their attention so we could as where our food was. She then went over and asked and they stated that the food had not been ordered properly on the till and we had now missed the breakfast window. Awful service. I'd of thought the lady who served us may have wondered why we sat there so long and no food was being prepared. It wasn't even busy, there was 3 customers in there. We opted to not stay for food but they happily charged us for the drinks, including the apple juice I decided to not have as we were leaving. Waste of my morning and I definitely do not recommend this place to others

We had a lovely lunch here. Service was very friendly. My daughter and her husband had the special burger - venison with goat cheese and bramble jam. They said it was sublime. My husband had the regular beef burger. It was juicy and flavorful. I had the chicken tikka “burger,” although it was actually a grilled chicken breast, not a burger. Nevertheless, it was delicious. Not at all dry, with a tikka masala sauce on one side and chutney on the other. Yum. There is a an array of cakes to choose from for dessert. All looked equally tantalizing. Coffee drinks were perfect for a chilly day.

Thought we would give the Rhynd a go as usually go to St Michael's Inn. Breakfast was terrible overcooked eggs and black pudding. The sausage was going off. hashbrown was burnt and you needed binoculars to find the butter for the toast. The coffee was like dishwater. When we did get the overcooked food there really wasn't much there certainly not any value for money imho.

Dropped in and to be honest I was not impressed with the place and found the menu a bit lacking in choices but we ordered a couple of coffee lates with a portion of chops and a couple of scones with raspberry jam as this was the only jam they had and our expectations were low However surprisingly the lates were really good the chips were delicious and the scones and raspberry jam were an absolute delight Don’t go expecting anything and you’ll be surprised as we were and it was excellent taste wise

Ordered a chicken salad with a buttermilk dressing. The chicken was grey and chewy, and the salad was extremely bland. The ‘buttermilk’ dressing was a watery vinaigrette. Completely overpriced food given the cost. I sent the food back, however, and was given a refund without any trouble.

Attended a really good wedding here. Beautiful venue, excellent food & beverages with great service & friendly staff.

Nice little cafe serving lunches, cakes and drinks close to Tentsmuir forest. Food was good and staff were friendly especially our server Rosie who was extremely pleasant and attentive. Will be back next time we are in Fife.

We had a lovely catch-up with friends this morning over breakfast. We all had the Rhynd breakfast & it was delicious. Service was great with the team really welcoming & happy to be there. Relaxed atmosphere & good strong coffee, just a shame I had no room for Lemon Curd sponge cake. Regretting not getting a piece to takeaway! Thanks for another great visit

Visited today, Ordered a coronation chicken sandwich, on brown bread for me and white for my husband. Although there was a good amount of chicken, the coronation part was a sauce spread on the bread, very thinly. The bread was dry and may have been more edible if there had been some butter on it. The young staff were nice and the service was quick, just a pity about the food. It is a nice place, and I haven’t tried any of the other food available so I would recommend that if you do go there avoid the coronation chicken!

Poor service. Waiting staff couldn’t smile or welcome us. Looks like the owner has emptied his garage and decided the goods would look good in a cafe??! Glass of water didn’t even have ice or a slice of lemon. Poor effort all round!

Miserable staff, couldn’t use the bathroom as wedding on, half menu off! Would not return nor would I recommend

We had the most wonderful twilight wedding at The Rhynd on Saturday and are so happy we got to have our celebrations there. The venue couldn't have worked any better for the ceremony, food and dancing and having the farmhouse to stagger back to at...

Hidden gem absolutely lovely nice friendly staff and very clean. Maybe a wee bit more expanded menu but can’t fault it . Wish I’d made it for breakfast

Came across this hidden gem after a day trip. Very rustic perfect place to get away from it all with lovely walks close by. Staff are so polite, helpful & friendly. The food is local produce well cooked and very tasty. Mocha was the best...

Gorgeous, rural setting, yet close to Leuchars and Tentsmuir beach. Polite and attentive service and Covid secure. We were recommended The Rhynd by the owner of the Airbnb we were staying in and were very glad that we stopped by en route to Tentsmuir beach....

We didn't visit we had afternoon tea delivered as a surprise treat from our daughter.it was excellent. Beautiful sandwiches.cakes & scones all home made. Would highly recommend

We had the most wonderful afternoon tea delivered to our home The sandwiches were really fresh The sceones were delicious To top it off two mouth watering cakes

Thanks to the Rhynd for efficiently delivering wonderful Winter Warmer meals to 60 people in East Fife today, many on their own during lockdown down. Nothing but good reports coming back - and the jumbo sausage roll and raspberry jam have some very positive comments...

We visited for a snack and drinks. What a lovely place. Very welcoming and friendly. Excellent covid protocol in place too. Pricing was excellent and there were lovely vegan options. Will definitely be back with my friends!

Had a really nice lunch with friends, nice food, friendly staff and nice surroundings. Great place for a light lunch or cake and coffee.

Pasé y se detuvo para tomar un poco de café y pastel, un lugar encantador. . Sin embargo, no tenían letreros que indicaran que una máscara era obligatoria para pedir comida, y como resultado, el hombre del mostrador que claramente no estaba disfrutando de su trabajo nos pidió sin rodeos que usáramos una máscara o no nos servirían. Eso fue después de esperar cinco minutos a que nos sirvieran mientras una camarera limpiaba las mesas y nos ignoraba. Usted está en la industria hotelera, así que tome una pista y sea cortés con los buenos clientes, hará maravillas en su negocio.

Llevamos a una tía anciana aquí por primera vez desde marzo, debido al cierre.¡Este lugar es una joya! Tuvimos buenos almuerzos del menú que fueron servidos por un personal ocupado y concienzudo.¡Buena comida! ! ! ! Tengo una pequeña solicitud sobre el té. Les pido que en el futuro usen té de hojas sueltas, ya que sabe mucho mejor que el de una bolsita de té.

Been several times here ( after dog walk/run/cycle in Tentsmuir). Always deliver amazing breakfast cooked perfectly...family all agree. Also had tea and cakes....equally good Nice staff. Not too pricey. Bit out of the way but well worth the effort versus alternatives in St Andrews.

A lovely place to visit - especially if you have just been to the Clay Shooting Centre up the road. Friendly staff and great frittata

Been coming here quite a lot. Food is great and staff are friendly . Wood burning is blocked off which is a shame! Also a loud fan was blowing down my neck

Lovely scone and pot of tea. Served with delicious home made jam. Lunch menu looked good. Would be a lovely place to sit outside in the summer. Great beach and forest walks nearby.

On our way to Tentsmuir Forest we spotted Rhynd Cafe and as we were hungry popped in. What a great place, dog friendly, good food, good coffee, great cake and all at reasonable prices. The staff were friendly, the decor and furnishings quirky, comfortable and useable. We’ll be back!

Let’s start this off right. 1) coffee is incredible. 2) those cakes, you can’t beat it. 3) service is really kind. If you’ve I’ve a newspaper, good book, or some work to finish up, this is my favorite spot. If you’re into coffee, pastries, and an awesome setting, then GO HERE!

The place is great and close to Tentsmuir, staff is really friendly and helpful, the food is great and reasonably priced, would be nice to have more outdoor space to sit but all in all a great experience!

Me gustó el edificio por fuera y por fuera. . . y el personal es amable. El desayuno cocinado, en el mejor de los casos, es claramente mediocre: una sola pieza microscópica de tocino, una salchicha descarnada y un paquete de catering de hachís. Hmmmm Más barato que el cercano Balgove, pero no casi esa norma. También noté que un miembro de lo que asumo fue que el personal de la cocina tenía un cigarrillo afuera cuando nos fuimos. No obstante, después de un paseo por la cercana playa de Tentsmuir, podría ser una opción no razonable de vez en cuando para un rollo de tocino o una taza. Simplemente no vale la pena un desvío.

Stopped here for lunch today in this very unique cosy barn like setting complete with stone walls wooden beams and wooden farm tables - the art was the green leafy trees outside the green painted windows ! The place was full and so we went upstairs ..Food was excellent - very quick service and staff checked in us often with friendly encounters - we felt very welcome - two seniors in their 80,s also commented on this My Brie Local ham and cranberry toastie with spinach salad was hot and delicious!Dessert was superb - Authentic Queen Victoria Sponge like Mum used to make !!! Coffee - Single shot Latte was possibly the best coffee I have had in 2 weeks holiday in Scotland! Well done !

This rural cafe offers a friendly welcome. a good choice of snacks and main courses served to your table, outdoor seating area for dog lovers.A toilet roll holder in the ladies would be preferable to the present arrangement, not a fan of the trough wash hand basin or the taps .

The Rhynd is a farm cafe midway between Tayport and St Michaels in Fife and one turns down a farm road, past Craigie Farm and about a mile and a half East from the Tayport road. The cafe is a converted barn with delightful young staff. Caitlin looked after us very well and my wife and I both opted for the plain beef burger, without cheese and bacon, in a large, round, brioche bun. It came with two types of relish, nice salad with dressing and wonderful crispy chips, all for £7:95. We enjoyed free tap water and as I write this six hours after eating, I am still full! The toilets were immaculate and the whole eating experience was first class.

We love to pop in for a coffee and cake or a bacon roll after a walk at Tentsmuir. It’s homely with lovely big windows along the front and is dog friendly! Always friendly staff to say hello at the counter.

I do wish places could be rated on a 1-10 scale here, so this for us is a 4.5. Why? Well, it’s just a cafe. At least the part open to the public is. Its decor is nothing we haven’t see a hundred times over 10-15 years ago in world cities, but it does take venues a while to catch-up up here in Scotland; especially in rural areas. There’s nothing original or unique about The Rhynd, but it is a pleasant enough place to go for a spot of lunch or a coffee - if you can justify going that much out of your way, of course... Perhaps there are enough locals for it to satisfy both them and itself... Our food was decent, and the coffee was ok, the service was nice enough, and the eating area is clean. The toilets, however, are perhaps in need of a little attention. Quirky is one thing, but when your trough sink is like something you’d see in a field with algae growing on it, maybe it’s time to get a new sink... We weren’t enthralled enough to make a return visit, however, you might feel differently. Go and see for yourself. It might just be the best thing you’ve experienced to date...

On first impressions when we arrived, was that the cafe was cold and felt damp and all the guests had there coats on. There was no heating on in the building and we asked the staff if they could put the wood burning fire on to warm up the guests. The staff said they would try and light the stove and 20 minutes later it was still struggling despite the effort of several staff. I read the review in the Courier which was the reason for our visit, and can totally disagree with everything. The outlook was bleak, no flowers, and just a stone wall. Whilst the food was OK, the coffee was lukewarm. The interior looked unfinished and it appears the owner is unwilling to finish the project. (fire lighters would help)

Only discovered this place after taking a wrong turn one day but I'm glad I did! It's near to Morton's loch were myself and friends often start and finish runs. This is a great place to have a coffee with a lovely wood burner in the corner. Also super convenient that I can bring my dogs in.

We visited today after a lovely walk along the beach . Had the soup and the sandwich . Shame they don’t do a soup and sandwich deal as the separate soup and sandwich was expensive and too filling . . The lovely young people serving did a great job and were lovely .

Out first time at Rhynd today, nice character interior but after resting from a very simple menu it took 30 mins for sandwiches to arrive. They were not busy so would not expect such a wait? Speed of service from kitchen needs to improve.

Child and dog friendly café in lovely location. Good, reasonably priced menu in well designed converted farm buildings. Well worth a visit.

Staff were delightful. Customer service was real and attentive. Food was excellent. Dunno what other reviewers are on about portion control. Sausage rolls and cake portion were generous without being gross. Coffee was fantastic. If ever in the area again I would absolutely go back. Thanks guys!

After a lovely walk along the beach in Tentsmuir we were looking for a wee coffee and cake to snack on. We were welcomed by the friendly staff who told us they had more seating upstairs as the ground floor was busy, and that we order at the cafe bar. Cakes and small snacks were displayed in the counter which enticed us to order three sausage rolls, victoria sponge, two fruit scones, three black coffees, three flat whites (one with soy milk) and a vanilla latte. The service was quick, efficient and welcoming. The rustic high quality design was beautiful. The toilets had ‘who gives a crap’ toilet roll which is eco friendly that donates money to toilets to those in need, this was a nice touch. Rustic, high quality, friendly and I would definitely visit again.

We tried The Rhynd based on the positive reviews we had heard about the place.

We have heard various reports as well as experienced first hand and the consensus of opinion is that the portions of cake etc are rather frugal .... cut the cake in 8 not 10 and let everyone feel that they are getting value for money

Handy wee cafe on way to Tentsmuir. Nice inside and food and service always great. Had an unusual but tasty soup last time, and the cakes are very impressive too.

Converted barn serving good food at a fair price for the location. We had the full breakfast which was freshly cooked and served with a smile.

We visited today after a lovely walk along the beach . Had the soup and sandwich which were perfect . The lovely young people serving did a great job and were lovely .

Basic setting in a converted barn, but warm, clean and welcoming.

Having liked the Facebook page for over a year, I finally managed to visit for lunch. Lovely homemade food and the hot scones are delicious, very friendly welcoming staff and a bonus is it’s dog friendly. Worth a visit

Had heard lots of good things about this place and was really looking forward to visiting.Wandered round the outside trying to get in and finished up in a rather quirky toilet......where is the signage for the entrance?Opened a random solid wooden door and great here we had arrived.It was two o’clock in the afternoon and I’m sure the cakes on the website were there once but the severely depleted,uninspiring offering left me in a quandary as to whether I even wanted to stay.The staff chatted amongst themselves while I waited to be acknowledged.My friend went to sit at a table passing several waiting to be cleared.The saving grace was the coffee was good.However the scone was dry.This place requires effort to seek out and in future I will be going elsewhere.

Absolutely loved this venue for our friends wedding. Great layout. Lovely and clean. Very spacious. There is also a lovely cafe. Staff are very friendly and welcoming.

We dropped in for lunch on a sunny Sunday afternoon after walking the dog at tentsmuir. Friendly staff, a decent toastie and very reasonably priced, and dog friendly inside and outside, ideal.

We were heading to Tentsmuir Forest in Fife, and the sign for the cafe appeared out of nowhere, just as my wife said she really needed a coffee! A converted farm building, I can imaging this is a great spot for cyclists touring around the East Neuk and looking for a pit stop. Funky hipster-style interior that would not look out of place in London or Stockholm. We just had coffee and a scone. Coffee was great, and the scones (I had fruit, my wife had cranberry) delicious. Have to mark them down a bit for the squirty cream though. Dog friendly (inside), which is refreshing to find, and the staff were lovely, explaining why the motorbike memorabilia was all around the walls (owner is an enthusiast). They do weddings too!

We stopped off here purely by chance on our way to Tentsmuir. Wee gem of a place! Not only is it dog friendly (inside and out) but it has fabulous food too. Staff very welcoming and courteous. Can't wait to return!😊

Had seen a friend had visited here and had never heard of it, so decided to investigate. Great full breakfast with v tasty sausage and bacon from local suppliers. Also have decaf tea which is an added bonus. The home baking looked amazing and I couldn't resist a punnet of the most delicious looking strawberries, which were, indeed delicious. Enjoyed the tunes playing as well and the staff couldn't be more helpful. A very relaxing start to Sunday.

Great customer service, Excellent food , brownies are a must. Perfect place to catch up with friends, large tables to gather round , Large car park and outdoor seating was out. Just such a lovely location.

We sat outside with the dog as the weather was glorious. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and we were well looked after by lovely staff. Beautiful situation. We went on the recommendation of a friend. Now we shall recommend to friends.

Do go, this is a great local initiative that deserves support. If I lived nearer than I currently do (Buckinghamshire), it would be a regular treat for me. The venue is a delight and there has been excellent attention to detail to create a modern cafe without losing the farm heritage. I loved the 'trough' sink in the ladies and the industrially influenced taps and many other innovative nods to the previous use of the building. I had breakfast there with friends and they had smashed avocado on toast while I had traditional poached eggs. We asked for our coffees to be served after breakfast and they were delivered right on time.

Cheery, helpful staff and most probably one of the coolest spots for breakfast in Fife. I’m a bit fussy about my coffee so this was a joy! Pop in here after a long walk on Tentmuir beach or Balmerino. Will be recommending,

This simple but cosy farm cafe is perfect for a light lunch or coffee and cake after a walk at Tensmuir. Friendly staff, fairly small menu but build your own sandwich options. Also recommend the Mac and cheese, as well as the raspberry cheesecake!

We were last here in October, and this time we brought friends with us.

This is a wonderful place to have a nice coffee and/or a nice bite to eat. The mozzarella cheese and ham panini was absolutely delicious and the setting was very warm, very friendly and I would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area. Good value for money and especially cosy when it is cold outside.

Visited this little cafe for the first time this weekend after friends had been recommending it for ages. Was a little bit sceptical a there seem to be a lot of negative reviews recently, but I have to say, I couldn't find a fault to comment on!

I've visited this area a lot to see family and could never find anywhere nice for a bite and a cosy cup of something hot. The area has been crying out for just this. We'll make it a regular stop off now thanks guys!

We'd taken our 2 yr old to the beach and stopped here on the way back for a some cake and coffee. Both were really good and the staff made a real effort with our little one. We got a sneaky tour of the wedding venue attached to the cafe as well which has so much character and looked like a fantastic place for a party.

I dropped into The Rhynd after a long Sunday walk with the family. Such a welcome break from the freezing weather! The coffee was sooooo good! We both loved it. A real gem and well worth a trip....I am going there for lunch!

Popped in on our way back from the beach - delicious food and lovely atmosphere, would highly recommend it even just for a coffee and a slice of cake!

Loved the barn conversion cafe - such a rare find and love going here after a visit to the beach. Would definitely recommend it to family and friends

Great spot for warming up after a bracing beach walk - they had decaf cafetiere coffee for my wife and were kind enough to indulge me with a triple espresso. Few people in but got a table easily.

After running at Tentsmuir forest my friend and I stopped in for breakfast. The place is really nice and on a cold day was warm with a fire and a heater. The young guy who is the supervisor had an answer for everything and didn’t make us feel particularly welcome. The food was great but expensive and it seems that the upstairs gets used for parties so people were lugging cakes and balloons upstairs whilst leaving the door wide open. In this day and age with the choices available, your customer service needs to be first class to retain customers. I prefer the community cafe in Tayport at a fraction of the price and a more welcoming ambiance.

Found this place, totally by accident while out cycling today.
