About

Tucked beside the historic Culross Abbey, the Tealeaf Café is a charming hidden gem that delights visitors with its home baking, warm hospitality, and one of the loveliest garden settings in Fife.

Perfectly placed for a mid-morning coffee or afternoon treat, this small but much-loved café is known for its freshly brewed teas and coffees, refreshing cold drinks, and an irresistible selection of home-baked cakes, scones, and traybakes. It’s the ideal stop whether you're exploring the atmospheric streets of Culross, visiting the abbey, or simply seeking a peaceful spot to pause and recharge.

At the back of the café, you’ll find a beautiful walled garden—an unexpected oasis filled with colour, calm, and character. With outdoor seating nestled among the blooms and greenery, it’s a tranquil place to savour a slice of cake and take in views towards the River Forth.

Just a short walk away is Kirkbrae House, whose stunning private garden opens to the public on selected days through Scotland’s Gardens Scheme. The one-acre garden features winding paths, diverse planting from around the world, and plenty of surprises, making it a lovely complement to your café visit.

Whether you’re a history buff, a garden lover, or a fan of good cake in a great setting, the Tealeaf Café offers a warm welcome in one of Fife’s most picturesque villages.

Opening hours: Saturday and Sunday's 11am-4pm (seasonally)
