The Kiltmakers Coffee Shop Cupar

I visited scotland for a little over 2 weeks, spent a few days in the Edinburgh and Cupar areas, and rode 1200 miles around the north of Scotland, including the NC500, with a couple of buddies on motorcycles. Without the ability to prepare more than camp meals while traveling, we ate out quite a bit and I’ll say in that time I had more than my share of a full English and a full Scottish breakfast. That said, of all the hotels, restaurants, and cafes we stopped at across the entire country, including my meals in airports and finer dining in Edinburgh, this coffee shop provided the best meal I had anywhere. The portion was quite generous for the price and everything was delicious. I had to rest partway through the meal to get through it, it was so large. Furthermore, and I mean this literally and without hyperbole, I had The Best Cup of Coffee I’ve ever had in my entire life while there. I acknowledge that setting a high bar for your coffee is a losing battle as most good coffee is mediocre at best - however, the beans they use and the way they were ground and brewed/pulled yielded such a complex blend of subtle aromas and flavors as I had never before had. The previous best cup of coffee I’d had was a cup of cold brew at a shop that closed down several years ago, so please don’t let that fate befall this shop. If you’re in the area - anywhere NEAR Ladybank, take a few minutes to enjoy a meal and a cup of coffee at The Kilt Maker’s Coffee Shop. I don’t know if I’ll ever be back, so have a cup for me and a cup for all of us poor deprived Texans who don’t have access such great coffee or haggis.
