Bubu in Dundee City

Caffetteria su due piani situata nel centro cittadino. Buona l'offerta di dolci (da provare la torta al cioccolato), servizio lento, prezzi un pò alti.

Pedí una caja de ensalada, que definitivamente tardó más de lo que una ensalada debería tardar en prepararse. Mientras esperaba, noté que el lugar parecía un poco sucio pero traté de no detenerme en él. Mi caja de ensalada llegó y no podía creer el lamentable estado de las hojas, todavía no puedo creer que tenían las agallas para servirla y desearía haber tomado una foto, pero parecía que la lechuga había estado en el cajón inferior. de la nevera durante un mes. Tuve que apresurarme rápidamente, así que comí lo que pude salvar y salí de allí.

Fui a almorzar hoy, planeé tomar una sopa y tostadas. Nos dijeron que no podíamos hacer ninguna tostada, solo lo que estaba preparado en el gabinete, así que nos conformamos con dos tazones de sopa de "verduras de invierno", un bagel, un panini de pollo frito del sur y dos lattes. El chico rubio en la lista parecía completamente aburrido y sin interés en lo que estábamos ordenando, teniendo que repetirnos constantemente. El servicio fue impecablemente lento, nuestra comida tardó casi media hora en llegar. Finalmente, cuando llegó, la sopa apenas estaba tibia al igual que los lattes. La sopa era increíblemente acuosa y tenía un sabor mínimo, ¿un tazón de "invierno" que implicaría que es caliente y abundante? El panini de pollo frito del sur tenía un trozo de pollo miserable y el panini en sí era increíblemente duro y rancio. Traté de saludar al camarero varias veces, pero siempre estaba en blanco para que no pudiéramos quejarnos. Ni una vez nos preguntaron cómo estaba la comida, ni ningún tipo de servicio al cliente. Por haber pagado más de 20, la comida era mediocre, fría y nos quedamos muy impresionados. Lo que es peor es que éramos dos de los CUATRO clientes que había durante nuestro almuerzo, así que no hay excusa alguna. No volveremos

Visitamos este café y pedimos un brie panini. Luego recibimos un bagel de queso de cabra. Le dije a la chica que esto era lo incorrecto, por lo que no se disculpó ni ofreció cambiar el orden al brie panini. No volverá.

I waited 20 minutes for my cold, pre-prepared sandwich and cup of tea to arrive at my table. Turns out they'd decided to heat it up in a panini press without asking me. I was charged £5.50 for the sandwich, which was so overspiced, I couldn't enjoy it, and £2 for the tea. While I waited, I couldn't help wonder what the staff were doing...certainly not clearing tables. I sat there wishing I'd gone to Subway instead.

First and last visit here. Staff unable to cope with more than one customer at a time. Organisational skills of a lemming. Food tasty if you can survive that long. Coffee good design on the top if that’s your bag.

Used to go in here frequently. Ordered a sandwich and coffee for lunch and I got the wrong order. I took a bite and realised it was wrong took it straight up to counter, lifted top to show it was wrong sandwich and politely said that it was incorrect. Fair enough, mistakes happen! It’s how it was handled that is a concern. The manager (so she called herself) told a young girl to swap the sandwich I returned with one incorrectly given to a customer upstairs. I quickly pointed out that I had taken a bite and touched it. I was then given the sandwich from the customer upstairs!! The manager clearly was unhappy when I refused it I asked for my money back as this was the last of its type they had. My confidence in their hygiene procedures had been sapped. The cash was slammed into my hand and although I ordered a coffee with it (my lunch) she wouldn’t refund that as ‘nothing wrong with the coffee’. No apology and no qualms about giving food from someone else’s table to me (she said she could attest to it not being touched as she was watching the CCTV of upstairs the whole time?) I pointed out that I didn’t judge on mistakes but in how an establishment judged the way a restaurant handles it’s mistakes, and they had disappointed me. She really didn’t seem to care less. As you can see from lots of my reviews, I’m not an unfair serial complainer, but I’m very disappointed with this place as used to frequent it. Hygiene training is obviously not high on the agenda! Karma: I knocked my coffee over as I left with my umbrella....

Friendly service, nice food and very nice coffee, good price (coffee and bacon roll £3.95). Told them I had to catch and train and everything was ready in no time.

Absolutely fantastic place, really friendly staff kept us a table when we phoned ahead. Amazing vegan choices. Excellent

Sitting in BuBu waiting on my daughter, the restaurant isn’t busy, so coffee and cake does my stomach justice or does it? The sliver of cake if minute, they restaurant are selling a sliver of cake between £4.00 & £4.25, and dividing it into 12 portions, so £51.00 for a whole cake!! Absolutely ridiculous. When questioned, I was told everyone has to make a profit, well it’s not on salad leaves is it? Nope, it’s on the cake!!

Had a grilled sandwich for lunch. It was very tasty. Service also very good. Great place for a quick lunch with healthy, good food. Friendly staff and good service. Good coffee. Nice alternative to pub food or fast food.

Excellent coffee, excellent customer service and a warm and welcoming environment. I recently moved back to the area in March of 2018, after being spoiled with the wide range of choice of independent coffee houses in Europe, it was a happy find. Bubu's is a great addition to the city. I read many reviews stating that it is overpriced, I found the prices competitive and so they should be. The coffee is brought to your table, a nice touch. I felt looked after. Being a Coffee Snob, I know what I like and I would choose Bubu's over any large corporate coffee chain every time. Thank you for being there! Don't leave! One happy customer!

A quick lunch i wanted and I recieved it the 2 of us each had a very enjoyable excellent lunch of soup sandwich and glass of wine good quality all round but over £30 reason 4 instead of 5 stars

I have been going into Bubu pretty much since it opened. Not many places in Dundee do "healthy" food well so it's a great gem to have. I've always went and had breakfast pots and up until semi recently they have been fantastic. They seem to have hired a new chef and that, in my opinion, is where the problems lie. I've had croissants and they were undercooked, I've had the salads (pasta/lentils/cous cous ect) and they were under cooked. More recently, I've had an egg pot with SEVERLY undercooked eggs. It really makes me question ever eating there again. Which is a real shame as the coffees generally are very good and they have very pleasant service. Maybe on the pricier side but I don't mind paying for quality.

Bubu should be a really good coffee/ lunch/ quick eat destination in Dundee as its sandwiches are fresh and varied, service is quick and friendly and there is ample space upstairs for seating. However, the prices are head scratching. Over £8 for a mozzarella/tomato/pesto bagel and a cappuccino to take away?? Nearly £20 for two sandwiches and two coffees??? It's a pity because Dundee could really do with places that are consistently offering good fresh interesting food options / vegetarian food - and Bubu is one- BUT at a price that means Dundonians will come back. Unfortunately I feel that they are only going to attract the spill-over from the V&A with the prices the way they are at the moment, which is a shame because the food is good.

Great local cafe and coffee shop with a wide range of sandwiches, salads etc with great choice for vegetarians and vegans.

This lovely wee cafe serves up delicious fresh salads and sandwiches. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful with my two little ones. There was something for everyone. Couldn’t walk past the lovely cakes either.

Great selection of salads, sandwiches, bagels, wraps, soups, curries, vegetarian options etc etc. Good wholesome foodstuffs. Excellent coffee, tray bakes, cakes etc. Super helpful staff. Not too expensive. Hugely recommend.

It seems, with so many beans and so many Barista's we're spoiled for choice, these days, but aficionado's will keep with whatever their taste buds demand. Bubu has just what they like! The choices in food are many, also,and the cakes satisfyingly varied. Well recommended!...

Delicious and unusual cake and great cup of coffee. Bagels etc looked great too. Definitely going back to try some of the other cakes.

I’m sitting in Bubu right now, enjoying breakfast, and, without question, the best flat white I’ve had since my favourite ever at Truth in Cape Town. Rich, powerful, and packs a punch. Just like it should.

I came here with a friend for lunch, it was a Saturday and I was surprised at how quiet it was. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was ok if not a bit pricey. The salad my friend says was nice but...
