The Roasting Project - Kirkcaldy

Roger A.

Nestled in the heart of Burntisland, this cafe is a haven for coffee aficionados and brunch enthusiasts alike. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by the inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the promise of a delightful culinary experience.

The coffee is nothing short of exceptional. I had the pleasure of trying both their ice latte and cappuccino, and each sip was a revelation of rich, robust flavors accompanied by an aromatic fragrance that tantalized the senses. Whether you prefer your coffee cold or hot, this place delivers an experience that is sure to satisfy even the most discerning palate.

As for the food, I indulged in their Grilled Cheese Sandwich and Mushroom Toast, both of which left a lasting impression. The Grilled Cheese Sandwich, made with Emmental and mature cheddar, served with chutney, was a delicious symphony of flavors that danced on my taste buds with each bite.

However, it was the Mushroom Toast that truly stole the show. Served on toasted sourdough with spinach and creamy paprika mushrooms, this dish was a culinary masterpiece. The blend of ingredients was expertly balanced, with each component complementing the others perfectly. The fragrance of the mushrooms and the creamy texture combined to create a taste sensation that left me yearning for more long after I had finished.

Beyond the culinary delights, this place boasts an atmosphere that is perfect for a catch-up among friends. The cozy ambiance and friendly service make it the ideal setting for enjoying great food and even better company.

The roasting project is a great cafe in a lovely seaside location. By roasting the coffee in house, they ensure the freshness, quality and originality of the cafe and helps give it an unique identity. The food was tasty, generous portion sizes and was fast to come out. Great range of cakes and pastries for those not wanting a meal.

We visited here for lunch on Sunday 16th August 2020. Lovely clean and fresh space. The staff were amazing, super friendly and keeping the place continuously clean. All staff were wearing masks throughout and we really felt like they had everything under control considering the current pandemic. All that aside, the food was truly delicious. Myself and my husband both had the soup of the day, which was a slightly spicy vegetable soup served with bread. My husband also had the bacon roll & coffee. I had a pot of tea, which was enough for two full cups. We didn't indulge in any of their cakes, and we regret not taking any to go, as they really did look scrumptious. Once we had eaten we ordered hot chocolate with marshmallows and a latte to go. Everything we ordered was lovely and worth every penny. We can't praise the staff enough, they were so friendly and professional and the place was immaculately clean. We will definitely be back next time we're in Burnt Island. Fantastic place.

Lovely coffee shop with a roastery on site. Had an iced americano and it was as smooth as any specialty coffee I’ve tried. Really friendly staff too. Food looked great but didn’t have time to try so will definitely be back again for that.
Do kinda wish there was a better place to wait for takeaway coffee. Made to sit on a bench by the door which was a shame as it’s so far away from the takeaway beans/roaster.
Cannot wait to come back though as it’s by far the best coffee I’ve had since I moved to Fife.

Really lovely place!
Unfortunately, we didn't eat, but the coffee was delicious, and the service was fantastic!
We were in for a group meet-up, and kind of took over a little as numbers grew larger than expected, but the gentleman who was looking after us, was incredibly helpful and professional.
Thank you to everyone working today.

Disappointed today. Ordered coffee and Eggs Benedict.

Maybe next time I should ask for the eggs to be poached a bit longer.Too much raw white egg for my liking. Almost 35 minutes waiting on the food, coffee served before the food so was finished well before the food which I had to chase up, was offered refund but was in too much of a rush to get to appointment.

Would be nice if someone had come over and said sorry for the delay with the food.

Filter coffee was really good and I am very picky when it comes to coffee. The waiter who brought our food was amazing, very friendly and kind.
They are also very careful about hygiene and cleaning. They fully disinfect the table and the seats when you leave.

Great find. Good food, good price and friendly service. Facilities are easily accessible and there is ♿ parking nearby. There are gluten free options and a great desire by the staff to help with selections. I'd recommend.
