I finally got a rainbow bagel! I love this wee café, the menu is a great and the team are lovely! Reasonably priced too. I was missing Aussie treats and it was great to see them to buy.

Had a delicious breakfast here this morning with my pals! Everything was perfect. Regretted not having the rainbow bagel, it looked homemade and my pal said it was excellent! The cakes were freshly baked and tasty

Really nice cafe with a great selection of hot and cold drinks, sandwiches, soups and cakes. Nice atmosphere and the staff are always friendly. I had a mocha and the toffee biscoff cake, which was delicious.

SCOTTISH CAFE / AUSSIE ROOTS! Stopped by today for a spot of lunch, been meaning to try & review this one for while! Light, airy & fresh decor, it’s very easy on the eye on arrival. Greeted quickly & sat by the window, once decided orders taken at the counter. I had the Coronation chicken ciabatta which was without doubt the best I have tasted & no sultanas as it should be! The wife had Spicy Chorizo Ciabatta & some Hash Brown Nuggets, all to the same very high standard. Finished off with a flat white & double macchiato, again top barista skills there, they were devine! Highly recommend giving them a try

Bagels were so good we had to get seconds! We had rainbow bagels with vegan bacon and avocado smash which were delicious & my partner had a vanilla iced latte which was super tasty. The owner was also very helpful in recommending different things to do in the area while we were there.

Came here based on reviews. I was travelling and checking out Dundee. This. Is. Worth. It. The rainbow bagel..the avo toast... the maple bacon waffle... the espresso...the beet drink...the flat white... put this on your list! Go to the counter to order after you sit. You pay there too.

We were early for an afternoon music event at Caird Hall and found this little cafe which we chose because it was close and had excellent reviews. The menu has plenty of great choices and the prices very reasonable. It was early afternoon, the place was busy but we were able to get a table by the window. My wife declared that her smashed avocado toasty was the best she’d had anywhere and my tuna mayo sandwich was excellent. The bread tasty and very fresh. The coffee was really good too. Bear in mind it closes at 3pm. Highly recommended and we’ll be back next time we are in Dundee.

Good was very good and reasonable priced. Staff were nice and helpful.
