A little bit hidden, off Cupar's main street, is Milly's kitchen, a lovely independant coffee shop (that also sell several items of local artists). Be it to sip a hot or cold drink, eat a cake, a quiche... to sit in or take away, chances are very high that you'll enjoy your visit at Milly's kitchen. Chocolate brownie & raspberry oat bar are highly recommended!! 😋😋
