Very friendly staff. Only had a cold filled roll and pot of tea. But was very nice and well presented. I like the military and veteran connection too. Nice to see veteran doing well for himself. Keep up tge good work. Thank you from A Veteran too

Out first visit, and my friend and me agreed it wouldn't be our last. We both had doubler breakfast rolls. The fillings, and the roll were really good, and our coffees were of a good strength. The prices on the menu are reasonable, and I did notice some of the other food ordered, it all looked nice, and it wasn't skimpy portions. The cafe was clean, and decorated with a Forty Twa theme, of what I presume is some of the owners memeorabilia . We did have a grumble that it was quite cold, and did not appear to have any decent heating. Maybe a couple of wall mounted infrared heaters could solve this. Would definitely say pop in and try it out.

Great burger, quite a cozy place lost in the middle of Cowdenbeath. A pleasant surprise, went in with no expectations and will return. Surely, now that I got to understand what the Mac and cheese burger actually is, I'll get only the meat version, lol.
