The official launch of the High Street branch of the Northern-Ireland based business is taking place on November 6 at noon.

And locals are being invited to keep an eye out for a special competition on social media over the next few weeks to win access to a pre-opening event in the store on the day from 10am to noon.

“In the coming weeks, there will be some exciting competitions for the local people of Kirkcaldy to get a chance to come and try the store out before anyone else.”

He explained what customers can expect to see when they visit the coffee shop after it opens on November 6.

“The new fit out consists of a traditional coffee house rustic style service area to the front where customers can get their coffee made fresh to order and also can select some delicious bespoke cakes, traybakes and pastries,” he said.

“Back of house is a state of the art kitchen which produces all fresh breakfast and lunches made to order. The total build cost for the project is £300,000 which is a significant investment to the high street.”

He added: “The café will sit a total of 105 as well as 16 seats outside to relax in the Scottish sun over a coffee!”
