Former popular coffee shop in Kirkcaldy High Street put on the market
A popular cafe which closed its doors at the end of last year is up the market.
The former Cupcake Coffee Box premises in the town’s High Street are being marketed by Shepherd. It said the site, in the pedestrianised zone, was suitable for a variety of uses, subject to planning approval.
The building was home to McDonald’s for many years before the fast food giant closed its doors to concentrate on its premises at Fife Retail Park on the outskirts of town.
It then lay empty for some time until 2017 when it was home to Puddledub butchers, but it is best known as Cupcake Coffee Box which became the go-to place for many locals.
Over the best part of a decade it created a community, opening its doors on Christmas Day for anyone who was lonely, and working on a community kitchen before deciding to close its doors last December. Plans pre-lockdown to turn the upper floor into a youth hub were not progressed, and they are now being converted into flats. Shepherd is marketing the building for let at £20,000 per annum.
