Atmosphere and Pricing

  • "A very cute cafe located in an historic building in the eye-wateringly beautiful village of Culross."
  • "A nice wee place and reasonably priced."
  • "Absolutely lovely. Very comfortable and warm environment. Waiters are very polite, something that many places lack nowadays & most importantly, they serve you in under 10 minutes."
  • "Fantastic little cafe. Very pretty garden seating outside with lovely flowers and an absolute sun trap!"
  • "The Biscuit Cafe is a must as your stepping back in time while walking the cobblestone streets of Culross."
  • "Lovely, atmospheric place, cakes look delicious."

Cons:

  • "£18 for two poorly made sandwiches and two drinks, poor value."
  • "Nice little cafe but was well over priced. A sandwich was £6.95 which was very expensive."
  • "Biggest problem was hearing the staff talk about us in the kitchen saying, 'I mean you wouldn't walk into a pub and ask to split a pint!'"
  • "Waste of money. Won't be back."
  • "I can't be doing with places that decide how much you tip and add it to your bill."
