We absolutely loved this place!! Amy and Mary we're such a breath of fresh air with amazing service and help to create the experience we were looking for!! The food was awesome.... The fruit scones are among the best we have had and they paired so nicely with our sandwhich(ham,cheese,onions)tea crisp and soup. The portions were great and the price was right. This is a lovely area to visit and while your there , do yourself a favor and stop in and enjoy this awesome tea shop!!

Fantastic wee tea room! Was very surprised with the flavoured teas, the rhubarb infusion is summer in a cup! Even the other half really enjoyed it! It's not very often I see loose tea used, it was very refreshing to see. The staff were wonderful, all very polite, the cakes were very tasty too. I also love how dogs are allowed in - it was so nice seeing the wee family of Italian Greyhounds & Whippet in! If you're looking for a place to rest your feet from exploring the wonder Anstruther, I highly recommend this place. I know for a fact when I'm back, I will be paying another visit!

Mum and I arrived in Anstruther today for a wee wander and of all the places we could eat we chose this tea room, it sounded right up our street. It was such a lovely little place, tables were full outside, so we sat in next to one of the windows. It was cute and quaint with old style music which we loved. We ordered a roast beef sandwich, tuna sandwich, coffee, camomile tea and two scones with jam and butter. We had china cups and saucers and the cutest little butter knives. Some say the service was too slow, but only if you’re really impatient. We found the service very good and friendly, freshly prepared sandwiches, the best tea and coffee. The scones were still warm when we got around to them. The staff were all very young but efficient, worked well together and so lovely. The perfect little tea room if you want a bit of oldy worldy. We’ll definitely come here on our next trip back. Thank you
