Vintage Tea Room in Fife

Popped in here for lunch with my wife and her mother. On entering, we were greeted by a smiling Amy, who welcomed us in. I proceeded to order the soup and egg mayonnaise toastie, with a Mocha and white chocolate caramel slice. All were fantastically tasty, especially the soup, which was very thick pea and ham, and piping hot, 11 out of 10😋My mother in law opted for a Latte, which she thoroughly enjoyed. My wife had tea, which was made with leaves, and a chocolate slice, which she enjoyed immensely. She also had a latte, which she also enjoyed. I had another mocha. The premises were welcoming, spotlessly clean, prices were unbelievably cheap. I can also honestly say that the service and banter from Amy, and Megan, Niece and Auntie, was tremendous. I would thoroughly recommend this place, and will be back in the near future.

The tea rooms are just delightful. The service is friendly and efficient and we can highly recommend the coffee and scones.

We were looking for a snack after visiting the wonderful Fishermen's Museum and found this little gem on the waterfront at Anstruther.

I accompanied a lady to Anstruther to witness the arrival of 13-47 The new RLNI Lifeboat.While waiting we went to this charming coffee shop.Lovely wood floors very clean very cosy with period adverts on the wall. Tables were set with china cups and side plates.I had a fruit scone and a tea. My partner and I were given tea in a mug with the tea bag in it. My partner insisted on a teapot so they took her tea back and brought a pot of tea. I didn't mind so I had the mug.I had a fruit scone which was not cut and a pat of butter and some jam in a little plastic container I was offered cream but declined. It was fresh and soft and flavourful. My partner had toasted cheese sandwich which they enjoyed. Overall really enjoyed it but it was a bit crowded. Not really a place to go if you have prams etc due to limitations of space. They allowed my partner to bring their dog in. We chose a very busy day to visit but Anstruther is very busy in the summer. Would recommend Total price was about £8

If I could give a Zero Rating I would... This was the worst coffee I have ever had.! Coffee was like water and had zero taste. Ordered a scone which was hard. No customer toilets, they directed me to the public ones over the road. Hygiene levels were shocking, only discovered this after I ordered. I watched as one girl made sandwiches at same time as taking money and wiping her hands down her trousers then placed sandwich on a plate then went to drawer for cake and put on plate then proceeded to eat a cake sticking her hand in her mouth then putting more sandwich on the customer plate. Shocking!!

Now, I'm not saying that you will get a free, perfectly brewed, tea, from the owner herself, five minutes after closing time - but you might! Five stars and thank you.

Had a lovely afternoon tea for 2 at vintage tea room staff were really friendly everything was not a bother will definitely be back thanks made our afternoon.

What a great find. This tea room is a wee gem. We were very impressed with the choice available, including vegetarian, vegan, gf and dairy free. As such we had no problem in finding food and drinks to suit us all. We had soup, sandwiches, teas and coffees and everything was fresh and tasty. Staff were chatty and pleasant. Will definitely return ❤️

This was a lovely place to eat. We sat at the outside tables & had a drink and cake. The caramel shortbread is lovely. The staff were helpful and we definitely recommend

Lovely sunny day and a wee trip through Anstruther brought us to this place. On offer were sandwiches, toasties, rolls n bacon etc. Some tables outside meant we could have a bite of lunch and our dog could sit with us. We arrived at a busy time: a large group had just left and we're replaced by lots of folk like us, all ordering at the same time. Two lovely young ladies seemed to be the only staff so we expected a long wait. Not so! Our toasties (with some crisps) and coke arrived fairly quickly and we're just what we were looking for. The added bonus was that this only cost ys £10! Advice - avoid the hyped fish bars and head to this place esp if you simply want a quick, tasty wee bite.

Small tearoom with both inside and outside seating dog friendly, disabled access could be problematic. No toilet but public conveniences across the road. We had a very tasty soup and a toastie tea/coffee at a reasonable cost.

Popped in for a well deserved cup of tea, ended up with a cream tea and tea made in a tea pot, with a tea strainer, all served with a smile. Revisited again later in the week, same friendly service and delicious cream tea. Thank you!

We parked our car right outside this little cafe and I popped in to ask if they knew if it was ok to park, the girls jumped out of their chairs as thought I was a potential customer and were helpful, so thought we may go back and give them our custom, which we did. We sat outside, and a notice in window advertised link sausage rolls which were not on the menu card, but it was what we actually fancied, so we had them (friend got bacon on hers too) and they were great. They had my favourite Earl Grey tea served in little pot with tea strainer and little china cup/saucer. We halved a lemon sponge cake that was delicious. Speaking to someone going in she said the paninis were really lovely. An auspicious little place at the front but would definitely recommend it and would go back. Staff very friendly and it was reasonably priced.

Quality of the food is excellent & very friendly staff. The service is second to none & I always drop in for a great cup of tea. RECOMMEND

Loved the theme of the tea room including the decor and background music. The food was good, the place was very clean and the staff very efficient and helpful. Will visit again when next in Anstruther.

Excellent food and service. Lovely to sit outside enjoying a pot of tea and cake. Staff very attentive and great atmosphere. Will definitely return. Thank you

We visited earlier today while our dog was in the vet in St Monans. Really friendly staff. Good food and really reasonable cost. Would definitely visit again.

Visited today with four adults, a child and a very elderly dog - staff couldn’t have been more welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Lovely scones too!

Just had a light lunch at the Vintage cafe, great food on vintage China . Lovely staff and great service. A 50s soundtrack keeps you entertained whilst you eat your food

What a smashing place, super friendly, lovely homemade scones and cakes and lots of gluten-free options. Prices really reasonable (… especially when Lesley was paying 😀!) The boys even got complementary biscuits with their hot chocolate.

Friendly service, seated outside. Very reasonably priced. Hot chocolate was excellent! Vintage tea cups used, if having a cuppa.

Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Lovely pot of tea with strainer, tasted delicious. Would definitely recommend the scones with butter, jam and cream. Empire biscuits were delicious too. Great seat outside in the sun overlooking the harbour. Very reasonably priced as well. Highly recommend...

We had an early Sunday lunch of toasties, tea and cake at the tea room. The staff were all so lovely and welcoming. We were able to reserve a table in the window looking out to the sea. The toasties were just delicious-super cheesy with...

popped in for a milkshake, nice, excellent friendly service, so also bought a couple of fresh sausage rolls, very nice.

Vintage Tea Room provided Afternoon Tea for my family of 5 and it couldn’t have been nicer! We were given various sandwiches, scones, cakes and tea (all presented beautifully) and were continuously cared for throughout by the helpful and friendly staff. For everything we received...

We stopped off here while walking part of the Fife coastal path. We were able to sit outside because it was pleasantly mild, although a bit cloudy. We opted for the afternoon tea - billed as tea/coffee, sandwiches, cake and scones, which seemed excellent value...

Stopped for a wee break. Lovely staff - quick service - great coffee/tea and scone with jam cream and butter. What’s not to like

Popped in for a late lunch - really friendly staff - tasty sandwiches, proper big pot of tea (with a free free refill) and a scone - all for about £10.50 - recommended

Fruit scones which came with butter, choice of raspberry or strawberry jam and clotted cream, delicious. Unfortunately same couldn’t be said about the coffee, actually not sure there was any coffee in my Latte and the Americano was also very weak. Shame as the staff...

stopped here for tea and cake very nice scones were delicious, staff very helpful, definately be back

Enjoyed pot of tea made from loose tea. Tea strainer provided. China cups just the job. Old records playing in the background. The good old days. Nice fresh sandwich and my partner enjoyed his cheese toasties. Busy but not long to wait. No toilet on...

Lovely small tearoom with friendly service, and the best coffee in the East Neuk by a mile! Popped in here for a hot drink, and rather than the many teas on offer, we opted for a coffee. Out came a piping hot mug of delicious...

Came in here whilst touring round the coastline. We chose it because it looked bright and cheery.I had the most amazing fruit scone and pot of tea and my partner had chocolate cake and coffee, equally tasty. The owner and other girl were very friendly and helpful. I loved the decor and the proper vintage tea cups and plates were a lovely touch.I just wish I lived closer, I would use it regularly!

Nice and cheap tea room, which the ability to sit outside. The waiting staff seem a bit stuck in their ways, insisting with a slightly rude tone that we wait outside to be served, and making sure a tea towel is put down as a teacloth first before we get our drinks. However when we left they were friendly and said thank you for coming. We ordered a coffee and a diet coke which was reasonably priced.

The best place where you can be served with a excellent selection of teas ❤️❤️❤️ Go there and and enjoy your tea and cake ❤️❤️❤️

What a lovely place. The home made scones are delicious. The unique wallpaper and harbour view alone is worth the vidit the visit

This is a lovely tea shop in the old style, with proper cups and saucers etc (and doesn’t it make such a difference!). Situated in a lovely position on Anstruther’s harbour front, this is an ideal place to come for tea and scones - and maybe just a wee slice of cake.

My wife and I were on a day from from Edinburgh that stopped in this seaside village on the way to St. Andrews. Our tour guide recommended this place and we needed a nice cup of tea and a scone. This is a very pleasant little place with very good food, tea, coffee and delicious scones. We had a very warm and tasty scone with cream and jam. My wife particularly liked the jam. Beautiful little place to stop and have a rest and refresh.

I had the opportunity to visit your lovely tea room on Thursday 24th October, and it was a wonderful experience. Service was excellent - the ham sandwich was to die for, and the value out of this world

Visited Anstruther on 14th October. We decided that a pot of tea and a couple of fruit scones were in order. The tea was lovely, the china to die for. Proper tea in a proper china cup. The fruit scones were packed with fruit, just not raisins, and the hint of lemon with the lemon curd yum yum. This was a lovely hour spent relaxing. The owner was very friendly and the young girl who was helping went about her duties quietly and efficiently. We will definitely return and could be tempted by the full afternoon tea.

We visited this tiny tea room and had a fantastic lunch. The plates and tea cups were all vintage China. The food was fresh and delicious. We had sandwiches (chicken, cheese and cheese and onion toastie) which came with crisps. We also ordered a Rocky Road square, but there was a lot of other great baking. The tea and coffee were excellent and the service by the two girls was perfect-paying attention but not overbearing. In fact, service was over and above in my case as I left my purse hanging over the chair. One of the girls dropped it to us at a restaurant where we were eating 20 min away as they were just closing when we realized I left it there. You don't find many great people and places in the world but we certainly found one yesterday. Go, enjoy. You won't be disappointed!!!!

Auf dem Weg von Edinburgh nach St. Andrews machten wir einen Kaffee Stopp in Anstruther. Beim Strollen durch den Küstenort sahen wir das Vintage Tea Room. Klar, da müssen wir unseren Tee trinken und Scones essen. Gemütliches Ambiente umgeben von Teilen, welche an unsere Grossmutter erinnerte. Dazu servierte man uns auch die passende Musik. Eine Diskussion löste auch die Wand mit den vielen Prominenten aus. Wer ist das etc. Die Mitarbeiterinnen war freundlich und machten einen guten Job. Es hat Spass gemacht, hier einzukehren.

Nipped in for a quick brew and a piece of cake; our teenage son was made up with the lovely china tea sets! Lovely quaint little place for a quick brew.

Great scone with jam, cream and butter served on vintage tea plates. Also a fantastic pot of tea which had more than enough for three cups of tea even although it was a pot for one person. The panini was also excellent and served with crisps on the side.

Hi guys dartschamp back with a wee gem of a tearoom in the east neuk of fife bluntly 2 pots of tea i can coke 3 fresh sandwiches 1 coffee & finally 3 stunning scones with cream butter & good old strawberry jam lovely little tea room ( & it is little ) but very welcoming 20 quid for all that fare so worth it im goin back next week

Found this little gem on a rainy day as it was the first place we came to which said "dog friendly" on a sign outside. The staff were really welcoming with excellent local knowledge and brought water and biscuits for the dogs. It's good to find somewhere dog friendly as opposed to just tolerant of dogs. The warm scones with clotted cream were amazing. It's nice to see somewhere with a selection of loose teas. Good quality and value for money. Will definitely return next time we are in the area.

I've been craving an authentic scone since coming to Scotland and the ones at the Vintage Tea Room are delicious! They come with clotted cream, which most places don't seem to have and make scones even better! The prices wet very reasonable and the staff was charming! The decor and teacup selection was very cute!

Decent basic eats supported by selection of teas and coffees made and served quickly with a smile. There are only about 6 tables but this helped it feel vibrant without being oppressive. A thanks and handshake on leaving always helps. Well done folks.

The tea room is lovely and the service and staff was lovely would definitely recommend the flavour tea and food will be going again

We stopped for lunch in Anstruther on our coastal path walk, just as it started raining and happened upon this gem of a tea room. Excellent sandwiches and cake, tea in a pot with individual tea strainers and vintage crockery. Music from the 50s entertained us as we tried to identify the photos of Hollywood stars drinking tea. Worth a visit.

Lovely gem of an idea but sadly stale cake and stale bread for sandwhich. We also had to use my son's milk from his glass for our tea cups as we were not given a milk jug.

Stopped by for lunch during a road trip around Fife. 50's and 60's music playing and a mural on the wall with past film stars which everyone in the tea room was guessing, and remembering, who they were. Sandwiches were spot-on. My son had ham and I had egg mayo and we both thoroughly enjoyed them. With drinks as well the bill was very reasonable. A lovely way to send half-an-hour and will certainly return next time we are in the area.

Dropped in to the vintage tea room yesterday with my friend during a weekend trip.

had a lovely wee cuppa and a slice of chocolate cake in the vintage tea room , have to say it was delicious ,great friendly atmosphere will definitely be back.

Delightful tea room, recently under new management. Enjoyed tea and toasties. Welcoming, helpful staff. WiFi available. A great assortment of fragrant loose teas. Will be making a return visit when next in Anstruther. A great stopping off spot whether shopping or walking the Fife Coastal Path!
