The Roasting Project in Fife

Fabulous coffee .. with amazingly tasty brunches of Bombay eggs on bagels and a poached eggs on sourdough toast .. great service .. good location .. (bit cool on a cold day, but guessing it’s an expensive place to keep warm) .. one little pet dislike .. cold plates with hot food .. ok (ish) with the toasted bagel Bombay eggs, but poached eggs on toast would be better on warm plates … other than that it would have been a 5/5 🌟 …

This brilliant coffee shop/ roastery is a great place to go with family and friends. Book a window table for 6 people and room for a high chair. There are a couple of tables outside too. The coffee is ground on site and is delicious and flavoursome. I do decaf and I can honestly say it’s the best decaf I’ve ever had. Food is also delicious and healthy.. and yummy cakes! Open Thursday to Sunday, it is bookable.

Excellent place! Venue is very bright. A very warm welcome from the staff, explaining the specials to us which sounded yummy! Order came nice and quick and the food was delicious! Amazing menu choice too. The coffee was excellent…..the kids and rest of the family were very happy. We will be back!

I feel quite sad at writing this review as I have in the past reviewed it very favourably, used it many times and have recommended it to many people. We hadn't been in in last few months, due to personal reasons. Sadly what used to be a friendly, quirky, affordable coffee house has certainly lost its way. The place felt colder and not as welcoming. The menu is OK, but has lost its edge somehow. The staff didn't seem as friendly as before. Hubby ordered toasted brioche, with added bacon, but unfortunately the added bacon got lost in translation. When he asked for it, waitress was adamant he never asked for it, but offered to bring some... she did, very quickly, 2 very small rashers for £2 which she stated, we would have to pay when ordering our coffees .... and we dutifully did..... So let's get to the coffee..... One thing we used to be able to count on in TRP though, was a good cappuccino. Well what a disappointment that was. Neither my husband's decaf or my standard one looked or felt like a cappuccino but more like watery lattes. My husband only had one sip. We did raise the issue with a somewhat defensive and off hand waitress. Her response being that the person who made them might not have been very good.... Well sorry but in such a coffee house, staff should not be let loose until filly trained. In her fairness, she did offer a replacement or a voucher. We needed to go so asked for voucher. Waited 10mns.... no voucher.... which is OK as we sadly don't intend going back or recommending it. Really sorry about that as in a summer we regularly walked from silversands, had lunch then walked back. For their own sake, I really hope they get back on track.

Cafe is lovely, service was prompt and efficient, staff were lovely, food was fresh, hot and delicious, as was the coffee. Really refreshing to find such a wonderful cafe where everything is spot on. Will definitely be back.

Love visiting The Roasting Project whenever we are on Burntisland. Had the Christmas special sandwich today and it was great. The menu has a wide variety of choices with a wee TRP take here and there. The coffee is serious, consistently good and tasty. The staff are always happy to see you and service as you'd expect.

Coffee was warm not hot. Bacon roll had 2 tiny rashers sat side by side on the roll and still room to spare. Disappointing experience won't be going back.

Terrible! Popped in for lunch on a working day with my husband and his elderly Granny. We ordered 2 sandwiches and an eggs benedict, waited 45 minutes and checked to make sure our order hadn't been missed. We let them know we had an appointment to get to and couldn't really wait much longer. The front of house staff said we were next and kindly offered us a cake. We waited a further fifteen minutes and were forced to cancel the order as had now waited an hour for a basic tuna sandwich, coronation chicken sandwich and eggs benedict. Turns out they didn't even have chicken to make the sandwich! If we had known when we arrived that there would be an hours wait we could have decided whether we had time to do so, if it was sensible to make an elderly lady wait that long (probably not) and also if we knew there was no chicken we could have ordered something else. Also just a check in to let us know if the order was being worked on or any communication would have helped. Used to really love this spot but it's really noticeably gone downhill over the past year. Such a shame. Staff were apologetic and the meal was comped with one basic tuna sandwich to go but still a really bad experience. More so often it's really unpredictable as to how it will go there.

Great place for breakfast - lovely food, lovely staff and lovely surroundings. Great value for money. We will definitely be back.

The service we received at lunch today was above and beyond. The gentleman who greeted us was happy to move tables to suit our party of 9 (6 children included!) The staff were very friendly and helpful and kitted the kids out with crayons and colouring paper. The food was delicious. The children’s macaroni went down a treat and the burrito was fab. We will definitely be back.

Popped in on a rainy day as it looked like our soggy doggy wouldn't get in the way with how spacious this cafe is. It's got a lovely feel to it, light and airy, lovely baking on display, which we sampled along with some tasty, homemade tasting soup. Interesting selection of teas and friendly staff. Fascinating to see the coffee equipment in use on the way to the loos too!

The food is delicious and well presented. The staff are friendly and helpful - very quick service. Highly recommended 👍

Great coffee shop in fife. If you are looking for a place th at offers more than a bog standard latte you will get a great pour over or flat white. If you are into your coffee go here.

Food was ok as had Haggis and Black Pudding Rolls that arrive quite promptly. Cafe Latte was 10 minutes later and luke warm. Had to chase for the coffee. No apologies for delayed coffee. Don’t think we will be back.

We stopped by not long before closing time yesterday . We were made very welcome. The coffee was excellent. We ordered Macaroni and Cheese which came with amazing garlic sourdough toast, a chicken wrap and a potato dish with a poached egg on it. Potatoes were a bit bland but everything else excellent. It’s a beautiful space too. Will definitely return when next in the area!

Dropped in for some much needed lunch! We ordered a Reuben sandwich x 3 which was delicious with homemade pickled sauerkraut which was out of control tasty. Coupled with the wonderful friendly service I would thoroughly recommend this hidden gem!

Came in today for brunch. Had the Bombay eggs and eggs benny and the food was amazing. Staff were really helpful and couldn’t do enough. Also had the dark matter latte which was probably the best cup of coffee I’ve had. Big thanks to staff...

The first time I came here the Coffee & Hot Chocolate we ordered was delicious, complete with latte/barista art as you see in a lot of the pictures. The second time (a few months later) however was a let down as I got what essentially...

Visited today with my grandson. Thoroughly recommend The Mexican for lunch. It was amazing. So tasty. Service from friendly efficient staff saw our meal arriving quickly despite the coffee house being busy. Definitely be back.

This is a bright spacious restaurant with consistently great food. I have visited many times & each & every one of the staff are all very helpful & friendly. It is truly enjoyable experience, which I travel well out of my way, just to visit....

We felt very welcome and were found a table very quickly. There is a very family friendly feeling in the restaurant with very courteous and thoughtful staff who made sure all the customers were well looked after.

Excellent friendly and courteous staff and well presented selection of quality meals at a fair price. All the fellow customers were friendly and the there was a a warm and comfortable feeling about being there. We will definitely return while we are staying at Burntisland...

Was lucky to get a table today in this great cafe on Burntisland high street. Decided on the special which was great. They use local produce from their high street and roast their own coffee. Great service too. Will definitely be back.

We come here most weekends for brunch or lunch. The food is always delicious, it has a great kids' menu and the service is always friendly, but efficient. The place is always clean and the tables are nicely spaced out. Goes without saying that the...

Had the most beautiful lunch at this Coffee House in Burntisland. The menu is excellent. I loved the feel of the place, modern, but cosy at the same time, I could easily spend hours here. Really friendly staff, just all in all a great experience....

Food was ok and coffee was ok I do live locally and use the cafe often but was in last Sunday and they were allowing people in with dogs there were 4 large slavering dogs in the place was smelling of dog I don’t dislike...

What a great find! Friendly staff, lovely interior and freshly cooked food. Best coffee around and a great way to end our coastal walk!

Superb lunch in Burntisland in the lovely roasting project, great food and really friendly staff. A pleasure as always and highly recommended

Arrived 20 minutes before closing time. They were more interested in going home than making our visit a pleasurable one.

Stopped in for coffee and a bite to eat. Asked for 2 large long black coffees which were served promptly but the food did not arrive for 15mins. The coffee was absolutely terrible very strong with a terrible aftertaste. I tried adding sugar and milk...

Worst sandwich ever. The bread was dripping in oil, when I picked it up or pressed my knife into the bread oil oozed out like it would from a sausage! The useless staff said “its because it has been grilled” but unsure about how grilling...

Service was extremely slow. Food on the whole was fine but poached eggs were cold and hard. Waiting staff far outnumbered kitchen staff.

On our way to our hotel in Kirkcaldy we stopped for coffee and cake at this lovely cafe The cappuccinos were very well made and the cakes were absolutely delicious Would definitely recommend

What a fabulous place to stop for coffee & cake. We had travelled today from Alnwick to Scotland as we are hoping to the Jack Vettriano exhibition in Kirkcaldy. We stopped here at Burntisland for a welcome coffee. The Roasting object has very very friendly...

Very pleasant, airy café serving a selection of quality coffees and teas, as well as snacks, cakes and breakfast.

Went here for lunch with family and ordered the Reuben. This is quite frankly the best sandwich I have ever eaten and I would gladly make the trip back there to have another one. Coffee and cakes were great too

I took two of my granddaughters there for brunch on Easter Sunday instead of buying them an Easter egg! The food was piping hot and delicious. We ordered eggs benny on sourdough x 2 and a stack of sweet brioche, banana, Nutella, maple syrup and...

Coffees were perfect and cakes delicious. Service was efficient despite being busy at the time we went. Will return thanks.

Visited here the 2 days we were in Burntisland - once for coffee and my partner had the best fudge donut then for breakfast the following day Menu has plenty choice and the black pudding stack was gorgeous Defo well worth a visit great vibe...

Visited this cafe many times and food/coffee was usually very good. However the last time was disappointing and the supervisor response more disappointing. Coffee was lovely but my husband chose Bombay eggs. The poached eggs were not soft, sourdough toast burnt and the whole dish...

Called in for a light lunch - warm goats cheese salad was delicious. Decent coffee, and very nice surroundings. Staff were really excellent too.

Have visited before and had a positive experience, yesterday not so. Waited over an hour for a bacon and egg roll and a tuna sandwich. Brought it to the attention of a member of the waiting staff twice. No apology or explanation given. A further...

High expectations, but sorely disappointed! Food came along an hour after our coffee, and this was after we inquired/reminded staff twice that we were still waiting. Coffee was good, nice environment but food was average. Expensive for what is was. The really poor customer service...

Just had a fantastic family breakfast at the roasting project. The food was amazing, well presented and tasty. The coffee was superb and the place has a great feel. Staff were really friendly. We'll be back to try the lunch menu very soon.

Coming from Edinburgh we traveled to Fife for a day out and ended up in this unassuming café in burntisland. We really enjoyed the visit. Food was Scottish fare and we had the sharing plate combo of hummus warm flatbread and a variety of dip's....

Very disappointed in the GF offering. I was told that nothing is gluten-free, only "very low gluten". When I asked how much gluten is that, the staff didn't know. Of the two "very low gluten" cakes, one was sat on a shelf right next to...

It’s not often that you find somewhere that is so consistent. The staff are great, caring and just keen to make your visit as enjoyable as possible. I always get a smile from the team both inside and takeaway. The food choices have been going...

Came today with friends for brunch. We had coffees which were excellent, but unfortunately the food let it down. The TRP bruschetta featured "poached eggs" which were hard boiled in the extreme and the veggie breakfast had obviously spent some time under the lights as...

Great cafe lovely decor .. they weren’t serving cooked food when we visited, just snacks and cakes but a really great coffee

So I get in these days of covid places have to clean more but disinfecting the chair legs is a bit OTT right? Also don’t buy the kids lunch box! £4.20 and my kid got a roll with no butter or spread, just a lump...

Stopped here earlier today for a coffee and sat outside at their tables. Two Coffees (basic Americanos) in paper cups and an empire biscuit £7.40! When my wife and niece asked to use the toilet they were told the cleaners don’t operate on a Monday...

The cafe was almost empty. We asked for a table for three but were told non were available. One of is doesn’t wear a mask due to chronic asthma. No coincidence I am sure.

On a visit to Burntisland, made the mistake of going in for a coffee and a roll at the Roasting Project on the high street, never again. The service was abysmal, bad attitude from serving staff who were really quite rude. Love a visit to...

Unless you book in advance, don’t bother with a visit here while visiting Burntisland. If you do drop them an email to book it can take an hour and a half before they answer. Not customer focused. We visited 5 minutes before opening time told...

Great service, good food and the coffee is amazing. They had a fantastic selection of cakes too. Will be back definetly.

Excellent food and good customer service. We order the soup of the day which was lentil and the chicken Nav. Both were delicious! Would definitely go again when I’m next in BurntIsland.

Dropped in with a friend before walking part of the Fife coastal path. We got in just on opening time which was ideal as the place soon filled up. We ordered a light breakfast and coffee. Both very tasty indeed. Good adherence to Covid regulations....

Never pass this little gem by. Coffee and cake is just DEVINE! Oh and you should definitely pop in for a breakfast roll or the bruschetta!

We missed out on this cafe/restaurant opening under new management last year (I think). We have now visited several times now, twice for breakfast, once for lunch and two or three times for coffee all in the last few weeks. I agree completely with one...

Went for lunch with my elderly father and found the staff very welcoming and promptly sorted out a well distanced table for us .The menu has a great range of freshly made food .I had poached eggs done to perfection with a little spicy hint...

Had one of the best espresso coffees I have had since I was last in Italy! Chose the bean of the month, Ethiopian, and it was a proper strong tasty caffeine hit! Nicely served with an individual small bottle of water. The bacon roll, meat...

Just enjoyed a visit to The Roasting Project today and yet again the food was delicious. Decided to go for the fiver fest deal, £5 for a lovely bowl off tomato and sweet potato soup and an amazing warm, homemade cheese scone. My daughter had...

We stopped here for coffee and were very pleased we did. It is a very popular coffee shop in the pretty little town of Burntisland and it is not surprising as the coffee and service are particularly good. The cafeteria is light and airy with...

After a visit to Aberdour castle, we were looking for a bite for lunch. A quick Google listed a few nearby. Some were closed but we drove on to try The Roasting Project in Burntisland. What a lucky find! Excellent food in this busy wee...

Disappointing. Sat at the bar across from the coffee station, ordered my hot chocolate that took a little time to make despite no previous orders. Arrived tasty, looking nice but cold to luke warm.

Tried the Roasting Project without a booking and we were lucky to get a table because they were very busy. They were well organised with Covid precautions and had tables well spaced out. Staff were friendly and helpful although I didn't understand why they were...

Always try to call in here when passing through Burntisland. Excellent coffee as usual and really nice sandwiches today. Staff are very pleasant and helpful particularly during these Covid times. Felt very safe in a spotless environment.

My daughter & I stopped off to have a bite to eat on a visit to Burntisland & were so glad we did. What a great place. I had the Persian Khoresh which was fantastic & my daughter had The Chef's Special of falfels on...

We went here today for lunch and the coffee was so good, some of the best coffee I have tried. The food tasted so fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back 😃 Customer service was also spot on, very friendly staff

Popped to Burntisland from Kirkcaldy for a wee family catch up. Delicious coffee and divine raspberry chocolate brownie! Highly recommend 💙

decided we needed sandwich stop off. got the do up of the day. sweet potatoe and fennel it was cracking. really enjoyable wi wee slice bread and butter. got wee milk to just help the soup. really beautiful soup. tip top. worth stop off .hope...

First visit back since it reopened last week and boy was it worth the wait, place was buzzing. Had the most amazing nachos and a cup of delicious Black Rock coffee. They have not cut any corners with their customer safety either. Tables all spaced...

We visited here for lunch on Sunday 16th August. Lovely clean and fresh space. The staff were amazing, super friendly, and keeping the place continuously clean. All staff were wearing masks throughout. We really felt like they had everything under control considering the current pandemic....

A lovely pot of tea. Nice fresh scones, butter and jam. Pleasant service. Good ambiance. Reasonably priced. Will come back when next in area.

Lattes with a superb flavour and a great selection of cakes to go with it . The last time I was here was before they rebranded the shop ,what a difference it looks very stylish now

Enjoyed a bowl of soup and a cheese scone here today. It was a little chaotic but we placed our order and after what seemed like a long wait our meal arrived. I think the sandwiches are made to order and came with quite a...

One of the best Eggs Benedict ever (many places make it so badly); great coffee; friendly, caring and efficient staff, lovely venue. A few acoustic panels would help improve the ambience but not a deal breaker when food and quality of this standard is on...

Following coast road St Andrews to Edinburgh, dropped in for lunch by chances, totaly enjoyed. Good food good value

Love this place for breakfast, everything is really tasty and not too expensive! Been a few times now and the french toast is amazing!

You must come here for brilliant food and fantastic coffee. The menu is varied and all freshly cooked. On particular days you can also see them grind the coffee used in the shop. Also worth a visit is the various themed music nights.

After a walk from Aberdour we were delighted to find this contemporary bright and airy cafe, just a little bit too late for lunch. Fudge donut was epic, but the raspberry brownie (gluten free) could do with some more raspberry’s. Our wheelchair user felt the...

My cousin took me to the roasting project coffee shop in February this year.I enjoyed it so much,I had to go back when I went back to Scotland in September.The hosts are amazing,friendly and the coffee is great.They roast the beans on site and you...

Just what Burntisland needed. Fantastic coffee. Great breakfast rolls. Visited every day for breakfast while we were there . Didn't try any other meals but am sure they would be great too . Very pleasant staff. Just great !

Everything is amazing. The drinks are amazing. The pasta is to died for. The cakes are absolutely fantastic.

Great coffee, great breakfast, great cakes and great staff !! The menu is very varied with some unusual combinations which makes a pleasant change from the usual cafe menus. The choice of coffees is a delight for any coffee conniseur.

What a great selection of teas, and the menu would suit most tastes I think....the vegan brownies are to die for. Will be back again soon x

Love TRP! Just what Burntisland needed. Cracking menu, love the music 🎵 projects & Rebecca is brilliant. We visit regularly with family & friends. Kids love it too. See you soon TRP.

First time visiting, had breakfast with the kids & it was delicious, staff very helpful & friendly, really good value for money & standard of food was awesome. Looking forward to going back.

What a lovely afternoon spent at the Roasting Project. Enjoyed the food, cakes and coffee, healthy options and fantastic tasting. Service was excellent and friendly along with a great relaxed Vibe. Highly recommend this place for a visit.

This place hasn’t been open all that long but I’ve been in a fair few times and always been happy with the service and the food. Today all I can say is the majority of the staff need to adjust their attitude. It’s not difficult...

First time visiting this cafe at lunch time. Husband ordered chicken, chorizo and avacado sandwich which he enjoyed and I ordered ham, cheese and pickle sandwich. My sandwich only had cheese and pickle in it so I spoke to waiter to find out if it...

Wonderful cafe with lots of tables inside and out. Delicious coffee. The best breakfast buns ever - generous fillings and fresh tasting bread. Highchairs available. Easy access for wheelchairs (wide doorway). Staff are friendly and helpful. Toilets are clean.

I only do one sentence reviews // I love a great, independent coffee place that does fab coffee (roasted on site), tasty cakes and delicious food - this ticks all three boxes

Popped in here with our baby. Staff very nice, accommodating and the prices were spot on. Great Baby Change too :)

In my opinion The Roasting Project is just what Burntisland needs (okay, I wouldn't mind a wine bar too!). The coffee is consistently good and consistency is important for returning trade. The light lunch menu isn't bad at all and you can choose sandwiches on...

The Roasting Project is a lovely place to eat and hang out. Great choices of food and perfect hot chocolate.

Went here to meet a friend we had a great time. Great food and tasty coffee. We had a gluten free egg and bacon on toast. Atmosphere was good very bright and open friendly place. Great staff very nice and helpful. Will be going back....

Fantastic space and coffee, nice choices for breakfast. Well cooked veggie and non veggie breakfast. Unfortunately, didn't come with toast and when we asked- £2 for two pieces of toast. A bit contentious when it was shop bought sliced bread, which retails at £1 an...

This restaurant was recommended by a friend who is a foodie. I was totally impressed by the quality of the food and the ambience. Will probably make this a regular eating haunt. Well done to Burntisland's traders in total. The High Street was heaving today...

Nice wee place to have lunch. Food was ok and coffee was great. Staff where friendly and helpful. ..
