This photograph shows the very popular Brucefield Café which was on the corner of St Andrew’s Street and Hospital Hill. It’s now occupied by the Indian restaurant ‘Everest’.
Many other old photographs of Dunfermline can also be seen in the Local Studies Department in St Margaret’s House in St Margaret’s Street.

Used Togo there at lunchtime occasionally when I was at the high school Seem to remember loving their spaghetti on toast Don’t know why It seemed different from others
Vinces Cafe, Blackie the bakers and Gerry’s chip shop, regular haunts when I were a lad, happy days…….
Can’t believe the Brucefield Café is no longer there l don’t think l would recognize a lot of Dunfermline now l left 18 years ago
I worked there early 70′ s after school and Saturdays. I learned how to use the hot plates and the scary coffee machine, Loved the ice cream floats and range of chocolates and sweets they sold .
Frank Macari made the best bacon rolls and knickerbocker glories in the country. Vince did quite well too.
I remember it well and Bob Blackie’s bakery next door made custard cakes to die for…then next door to him was Jerry in the chip shop, a bag of chips and a pickled onion on the way home from the ballroom. Fond memories.
My school dinner money always seemed to end up in the Brucefield…happy days
I remember the chip shop after 44 St Leonard’s Cub Scouts and walking up every Sunday from Pitcorthie to get the papers, cigs for Mum and something from the butchers. Early 70s.
Definitely one of my fvourite shops ever! Used to go for sweeties after my ante-natal appointments at the Maty x Ice cream was amazing too x
Worked here for Vince mid 70s after school and weekends, great laughs
Aww vinces. Diny get quater of sweets like he used to sell. Lol
Grew up there.
I remember it well great place to go with palls opposite was coop chemist then Baglows hairdresser where my mum worked then punters news and general store and a Butchers can’t remember the name? Blackies baker used to deliver morning rolls. Great times.
Used to visit this cafe before going to Anti Natal Clinic – maternity hospital
70 years ago remember going to the chippie on the other side of St Andrews Street a couple of times a week to get black puddins and white puddins and fish and chips for grandad. The only icecream I can remember was in cones and it never lasted the journey home. Delicious.
Loved the Bruce field cafe when I was at the high school! Dawn Lavery Mhari Ness
I always knew it as Corrieri’s…. knickerbocker glories, Lindt chocolate bears and soor plooms…
Working in guys and dolls as an apprentice hairdresser,everyday getting a list from the girls for food for lunch time ..carrying empty juice bottles towards paying for it ..lol ..embarrassing or what .I was 16 years old ! Xx
First port of call after highers results in 1951 !Guido Corrieri owned it then. Mgt McB
OMG, I spent every penny I had in there, me and Pauline Banning used to go in there when they added the little cafe for milkshakes, her mum worked there for years… such a variety of sweeties x
Lots of walks with Mum to get ice cream at Corrieri’s as a child, quite a while ago, in the 50s! Oh and no that wasn’t Mum’s Triumph Herald!
Very nostalgic Diane… living on St Andrews St. Frequented them all often. Papers from Young’s, mince from Mills & put on my Dad’s coupon at Baglow’s. Yes it served as more than a Barbershop…..
Used to get our sweeties n pop as a treat on a Saturday night from the cafe, then watched the Saturday film on tele. Good memories.
Karen Mcmillan this brings back some memories,italian creams,ice cream and a bottle of american cream soda for floats.
Jason Brodie unreal selection of confectionary in there my boy. Cross over the road for a choccy filled as well. Unreal!
