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.

Went here for coffee before my theory test, unfortunately I failed by two points 😂😂 but the pumpkin spice iced latte was delicious and the people working there are so friendly and good to have a laugh with, hope to be back here soon.

We came to Dundee for a day trip while visiting Edinburgh. The central part of Dundee is fairly compact and this cafe is conveniently located just off the main shopping area and behind the attractive cathedral. This is not a fancy place, but it is a good one for lunch or breakfast. It has an attractive, casual interior. It is consistently busy both for sitting in and dining out, attesting to its popularity. They have about 20 tables in the restaurant. It's basically counter service - you order what you want and they bring it to your table. Having said that, the service was friendly and our food fresh and a welcome alterative to fast food. All in all, a very good experience.

The food was amazing, i had a bacon and cheese rainbow bagel and it's the best bagel I've ever had. The bacon was crispy which is how i like it. I also had a peach Iced tea which was lovely. Atmosphere was very cosy and staff were friendly and helpful.

Went yesterday and was shocked by the price as google had not been updated by their company on prices. After spending allot more then on intending on a 1 inch wrap with pink and grey chicken that had the texture of jelly, i had ate my flavourless half blended soup also greeted with half the cutlery missing and no soup spoons and 1 napkin between 3. The day after my friend that i had been with has been in excruciating pain from her meal.

Food was fine but staff are pretty rude. You are also asked if you want to add a tip to your bill when you order food.... strange! At least 4 members of staff were behind the counter when we were leaving and not 1 looked up or acknowledged us saying goodbye.

We were in Dundee for the day to visit the V and A. I’d read about this cafe and was so pleased we ate here rather than the overpriced cafe in v and a. It is family run very friendly with an efficiency like clockwork. I had the vegan blt bagel. Delicious . My wife was delighted to be able to have beans on toast . The menu looked good and everything I saw being eaten looked well presented and freshly prepared . There is a soup of the day and a good soup and sandwich offer . Tea is fresh leaf tea . I urge you to Head here if in Dundee . Oh and it’s proud to be Aussie run too , they even sell Armotts timtam bars .

Having searched online for a cafe to visit before our afternoon at the V&A I came across the Flame Tree Cafe which came highly recommended. We were lucky enough to arrive when a free table was available as the cafe was very busy. I ordered the cheese and ham toastie and my partner ordered the chicken, pesto and mozzarella ciabatta. Both were served promptly accompanied by crisps and a nicely dressed side salad. The food was very nice as were the coffees. This is obviously a very popular spot full of good food and good atmosphere and one that I would highly recommend.

First of all, the positives. The food was brilliant: delicious, well presented & hot (in both senses of the word!) So, thank you chefs. On the other hand the service was awful, with one exception: the young Asian lass who brought our drinks was lovely & we wished she could have looked after us the whole time. So what was the problem? First of all, we arrived and were 'greeted' without a smile or any sort of welcome -- just shown to our table as if it was all a bit of a chore. Not a great start. After that the food & drink orders were taken without any sort of interest. No smiles, no chat, & minimal eye contact. It felt like the whole thing was just a nuisance to them, and throughout the evening too. When it came to paying the bill, my wife said, "Can you please add 10%" to which the waitress responded, without even looking up, "OK". That was it. No smile, nothing. (When I asked my wife why she wanted to leave a tip she said she was thinking of the chefs & the one nice server we had.) Other reviews refer to good service, so maybe on 26.9.24 we were just unlucky. Despite great food (which merited 5 stars btw), we'll not be back on account of the unforgettable 1-star service. Worst we've had in a long time.
