I seen this place mentioned on The Scottish Coeliacs page. I messaged them to make sure they had gluten free cake. The messaged me back within five minutes. Cake and coffee was lovely, I had the choice of three! They girls were very knowledgeable about what items were gluten free. The views are fabulous, right on the sea shore. Will be back for gluten free burger and chips very soon. 😎
Was along today for food with some family I was really pleased with how welcoming the staff are and how they are really there to help they had high chairs for my granddaughter and a lovely kids platter that she loved! The food was ace 5** will definitely be a returning customer
Been here a few times now and always greeted by really friendly staff that serve great food. Took my hubby here yesterday for breakfast his first visit and he his still talking about it today. His new favourite place for breakfast. Keep up the excellent work guys. X
The food is certainly delicious, nicely presented, the service is friendly and helpful. I have nothing but good things to say about the place. We walk over to Sands with the dog and often have lunch here. There is water for the dogs. A lovely view to look at. Walk across the beach or the parkland behind. A lovely day out.
Had a lovely lunch today although very busy we didn't wait that long and oh it was well worth the wait. I had beach burger and my husband the haggis burger recommend to any one in the area.
Can't recommend Sands enough, this is our 2nd breakfast meeting (12-20 of us)......the staff are fantastic, friendly and helpful. The breakfast rolls are fab and the service great considering how many of us are there �......we've booked every month for the rest of the year �
Was in today with my cousin and my kids was absolutely delighted with the staff and food!! kids meals where perfect size and price and they loved the cheese burgers went down a treat I had your hunter chicken club sandwich best I have had in long time food was all freshly prepared and tasted delicious too definitely be back throughout the summer to complete our days out at the beach���
What better way to spend a lovely sunny autumn morning than a walk along the Coastal Path & breakfast at the cafe. Great choice. Knew it would be busy as the sun had brought people out in force so we were prepared for a wee wait - don’t mind when you see the staff working their socks off to get things done as quickly as possible.
Excellent friendly service today, I never realised it was cash only and the response was super friendly and was just told to drop them the difference next time I pass, ice cream was excellent and place looked great !
Was there for mothers day lunch, had the brie and bacon burger! Was delicious, service was great form the second we came through the door. Kids food was yummy, especially the chicken nuggets. Can't wait to come again, such a welcoming atmosphere
Wonderful place. Staff attentive, view brill, beach award winning! Worth stopping if walking the Fife Coastal Path!
Breakfast is great, would recommend Eggs Ben Nevis, superb service from Lewis. Lovey view and dog friendly too.
Our favourite place for breakfast on a Sunday. The food is excellent, freshly made and the staff are so friendly & welcoming. A great setting right on the beach� If you haven't been already, your missing out �

Visited today but didn't know it was cash only. Staff were lovely and really helpful getting our order ready while my son-in law went for cash. With 2 small children and a large dog we wanted takeaway to a quiet picnic spot. Lovely freshly made sandwiches with cucumber and carrot sticks for the children and crisps and coleslaw for the adults all in handy boxes.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Sands, A Place By The Sea in Aberdour and I must say it was a wonderful experience. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with the most warm and welcoming service by Laura and her amazing Team. Their genuine smiles and their attention and smiles immediately made me feel valued as a visitor.
The highlight of my visit was the recommendation to try their strawberry tart with my coffee. It was absolutely spot on! Each bite was pure bliss. It was more than just a dessert; it became a catalyst for relaxation and a reminder to savour life's simple pleasures.
What sets Sands apart is not only their exceptional views and service but also their dedication. The experience helped to reduce my concerns at this time and created a perfect escape from my challenges.
Sands, A Place By The Sea, will become my go-to, and I highly recommend it to anyone in need to escape from the stresses of life. Whether you seek a peaceful stroll along the beach or just experience the hospitality and good food and coffee, you will find solace in this special place.
In conclusion, my experience at Sands, guided by Laura and her incredible Team, was nothing short of breath of fresh air. Their warm and welcoming service, great recommendations like the strawberry tart, and commitment to creating a place of relaxation make Sands a truly remarkable destination. I hope that others will discover this gem and find the same warmth, care, and tranquillity that I did during my visit. I have only one regret, that I didn't ask the names of more of the Team, but I do know I'll be back again whilst here in Aberdour.
Their full Scottish breakfast is great value for money and you can’t beat the great views with tables right on the beach. The atmosphere is very welcoming and friendly and I can see why this is such a local favourite!
I absolutely love this place like staff is so friendly it's unbelievable the whole atmosphere is amazing felt so welcoming and the view is beautiful thank u for for making me feel special
I had amazing loaded wedges today. We were sitting outside and they were hot till the last bit. No, I didn't eat fast😂The service was excellent and they were very busy. Lovely place and really made my day. We will be back soon x
Comfort food and great hospitality at the seaside. Lovely place to spend a few hours for lunch or a tea with delicious cake in Aberdour. The staff is super friendly and considerate as they always seat you and make small talk. The decor is simple, the food full of flavor. We were lucky our altered Five Coastal Path hike brought us past the café twice so we could enjoy lunch and another pastry on day two after having tea there on our arrival day.
Excellent place, a hidden gem. Good food with amazing views across the Forth towards Edinburgh and Arthur's Seat.
The food was good with good choice in the menu to suit the pickiest of eaters.
Service was friendly and efficient, and dog friendly to boot.
My family and I had brunch at Sands this past Sunday. What a wonderful find! We hadn't even reached to open the door and one of the friendly waiters were there to welcome us in. The food was great, especially the full breakfast, what great value for money! They were most obliging in changing the egg for another hash brown. And their 'Specials board' offered even more options to the menu. Everything was fresh, tasted great and plated lovely too! The waiters were all very friendly and attentive. The disabled parking is right at the door and they have suitable accessible toilet facilities too, with easy wheelchair access to the open patio area which was nice. The fantastic view of the Firth of Forth is an added bonus! We'll certainly be back!
We got a lovely sunny day and enjoyed delicious food sitting outside. Service was excellent and we'll definitely return again soon.
Fabulous place, really tasty food, fast and friendly service, and a view to remember. Will definitely return.
Lovely wee place to stop for a cuppa, cake and a sandwich. Great views. Food was really nice and well priced. Staff are also really nice. Ill be returning for some of their home made cheese cakes. They looked amazing
