Coffee, Cake, Art...And The Friendliest People!

"Funky Scottish was our welcome to Pittenweem and Scotland! A lovely little shop featuring work by local artisans and EXCELLENT illy coffee to accompany a delicious homemade slice of cake.

It was a dream to lounge there, sipping coffee and getting ready for our day of adventuring the coastal trail, all the while chatting away with Karen and her daughter Marina - the friendliest people! If you're lucky you'll get to meet their pup Loki. I know my two little boys enjoyed that.

The only hardship you will have is deciding which piece of art to take home. Highly recommend!"

The Art Of Celebration...Pittenweem Arts Festival + Our Cafe's Birthday!!!

This weekend, as the Pittenweem Arts Festival bursts into life, Funky Scottish will be feeling especially jubilant…

We're celebrating our cafe's 1st birthday!  In a flurry of activity, we launched this exciting element to Funky Scottish on the first day of the festival in 2015. One year on, we’re delighted to confirm that our experiment in blending arts and cafe culture has been a fabulous, adventurous success!

THANK YOU so much to all regulars and visitors for your ongoing support. We also want to say a special thank you to Isobel Bonnes - our talented baker. Isobel's utterly scrumptious, hand-made cakes have won endless praise and continue to delight our customers. 

Now, as a cafe-gallery-boutique, Funky Scottish is really excited to be part of another Pittenweem Arts Festival. Here are a few highlights:-

CAFE

Naturally, our cafe will be serving up classic savoury treats including soup, filled rolls and toasties, alongside our selection of Isobel’s tempting cakes. We also serve world famous Illy coffee, a selection of teas and chilled refreshments. Cast your eyes over the art from our bistro style tables inside, or enjoy our alfresco tables on the village square.  Want to know what makes us special?
