  “Love it here, love the food, service is great, on the beach, dog friendly at outside tables, had a seriously flavoursome salad last time I was there...attractive to look at, delicious.”

  “We visited Sands a Place by the Sea during our trip and it was one of those places we'd happily return to. The location is absolutely stunning, with beautiful sea views that make it easy to sit back and relax. The food was fresh, delicious and clearly prepared with care, and there was a great choice on the menu. What really made the experience, though, was the warm and friendly service. Everyone was welcoming and attentive without being overbearing. A lovely spot for a leisurely meal or coffee by the coast, and somewhere we'd definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area”

  “Such friendly, helpful staff and an unbeatable location right by the beach with lovely outdoor areas to sit. They have a great variety of tasty, well-prepared meals, and it’s all very reasonably priced for the high standard you get. We’ll definitely be coming back.”

  “Twice in a week, both times at the weekend. Sat outside with the dogs and ordered inside. Dog treats available. Very nice and professional staff, but there was the one lass who just didn't seem to be interested last Saturday lunch time. Hence 4 stars. Perfect location by the beach and the food is very good. Ill be back.”

  “Here is a snappy, friendly review ready to post: **An excellent spot! 🌊** Visited on a scorching weekday and, despite it being busy, only had a short wait before being seated inside with a fantastic view of the water. The seafood chowder was absolutely delicious—packed with flavor and served with traditional oatcakes. Paired with a Diet Coke, the whole lunch came to a very reasonable £12.45. The staff were incredibly friendly, the toilets were spotless, and they have a great outdoor seating area if you want to soak up the sun. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in Aberdour!”

  “Incredible location. Right down on one if Fife's best beaches. Very polite, friendly and helpful staff. The cafe is pretty basic in it's decor. But that is all that's required as full length windows look out across the bay. Beautiful. There is also a large outdoor terrace for sitting outdoors on the best Scottish days. Food is typical cafe food. Sandwiches, toasties, paninis, baked potatoes and limited selection of main courses. Food quality is fine no complaints but just nothing special. They did have a lovely selection of cakes. But we never tried any.”

  “Staff were very friendly; soups and scone yummy; and window-side tables of great views. The only thing was that the soups weren't hot enough, which made it a bit less palatable especially in cold weather.”

  “Beautiful food and drink. Highly recommend it! During the warmer months you will have a spectacular view across the water. Recommend a visit to the beach although it can be busy! During the winter months you have an opportunity to stay cosy and appreciate the nature.”

  “Really great find. Just ducked the rain to pop in to what is an amazing cafe for lunch... a hidden gem! Fantastic warm service (thank you especially Michael for making us feel so welcome!), really accommodating for large and small families calm enough for children with Autism too. There is a great atmosphere too, inclusive and inviting. Staff really helpful, polite and respectful about dietary allergies and checking to see if everything was to satisfaction. Really tasty food too, you could tell chips were freshly made and fish was devoured in seconds. Paninis were similarly delicious! The view outside topped off this great family day out. Will come again.”
