We want to give Kirkcaldy something it doesn’t currently have. Our potatoes are tasty, naturally gluten free and packed full of vitamins so all our customers need to think about is what delicious filling to add! We use compostable packaging and cutlery for our potatoes and we source ingredients locally. We are trying to keep our food miles low and support local growers and producers.”
"There’s plenty of indulgence on offer too with our fresh pastries and cheesecakes!”
He said Whytescauseway is ideal for the new shop: “Kirkcaldy has a big working population and we are keen to feed them! The shop is centrally located and easy to reach from the bus station and shopping area as well as the many offices and public buildings surrounding the town square."
Manager Gemma Potter said: “We are buzzing to get customers in to taste what we have in store. We mainly offer baked potatoes with many fillings – vegetarian and meat – from noon and we are offering simple freshly ground coffee, black or white, tea, hot chocolate and fresh patisserie between 10.00am and noon each day. We also supply individual Wicked cheesecakes and a selection of different flavours are available.

Gary added: “We are huge fans of independent businesses and love seeing the success of others. Kirkcaldy is ready for some new ideas and new faces. We wish our fellow local businesses old and new the best of luck going forward and we are excited to be part of the ongoing regeneration of Kirkcaldy town centre.”
