Pillars of Hercules in Fife

Good place for a stop off with plenty of outdoor space if with pets (or small children). Good quality food with emphasis on veggie and vegan options. Sustainability is at the heart and the food is delicious

What's not to love about this place. A peaceful yet vibrant oasis with some of the best coffee and hot chocolate you'd find anywhere. The seating arrangements are also great, regardless of the weather. Plenty of walking trails near this area, the organic shop itself has a great range of options from fresh vegetables to organic bath soaps. Can't wait for the fortnightly pizza night events with live music to make a return!

The building itself and the farm shop is amazing. Loads to choose from and a great choice of sustainable and organic produce. However, I think as long as you’re not a regular customer, the service is absolutely shocking. No personality and very rude. The lady in the cafe was extremely blunt to us whilst we were ordering but a regular behind us got the full treatment despite my husband being friendly and chatty. Food itself was disappointing and probably won’t be back.

Very well stocked with both fresh vegetables & all kinds of dry goods. Large range of organic food, also takeaway cafe which was busy. Lots of walks nearby too which families were enjoying.

After going to pillars pre covid we were left disappointed with our visit yesterday.£50 for sub standard food. Firstly, we stood in a queue for about 25 minutes (which was fine because it’s a fife holiday but also the man taking the orders told us it was his first day taking orders and had to take our order 4 times before he got it so maybe not the best day to put someone on a job they’d never done before) to be told no pasties available and no hot potatoes available, I think it’s poor that this was not communicated to any customers waiting in the really long queue. We got a cheese and chutney sandwich which was that kind of pre bought grated cheese with ?flour on it (not a lot of it) and really could not taste the chutney… for just under £4.. and egg mayonnaise sandwich with a spattering of egg on it and lots of lettuce so basically a lettuce sandwich. The coffee tasted like instant which I just find disappointing for the price tag fair enough if it was cheap. I’ll give credit where it’s due and the cakes we had and the soup were tasty.I also find it really disappointing that the indoor cafe is closed now, it may be due to covid so hopefully they reopen one day. The sound of sitting in a poly tunnel with a fire actually sounded quite nice but the reality of it was the fire gave off no heat in a wind tunnel.. and for a family friendly place there were no high chairs.Positive point is the location, great for a walk. We also like the reusable, recyclable and organic aspect of the shop but it’s a shame there are high miles on a lot of the fresh veg. The bread is definitely worth a buy.

Nice farm shop with a lot of organic food. Coffee shop with tasty cakes and 🍲

Can't believe I've never been here before!Beautiful farm shop with loads of reusable/recycled products. I will be back to top up my olive oil for sure!I had a coffee and a vegan sausage on a roll which was great, I don't eat pork which is sometimes limiting so it was great!

So beautiful...We went early this morning to buy a few things and have a coffee. The lady at the shop is so friendly, makes your day when someone is so lovely lets be honest!Food and coffee is good. The sitting area across the bar is such a beautiful place and when is quiet and you only hear the birds is even more beautiful.I will definitely be back!

This is a beautiful little farm cafe, without side decking, next to its allotment garden, selling plants.The Leek soup was gorgeous.Highly recommend it, my parents and I will be returning again.

Would highly recommend, very varied selection of drinks/ food at the cafe,reasonably priced, with plenty of sitting out areas especially the one overlooking plant area. Their shop has a full range of local organic produce .
