The Flame Tree Cafe in Dundee City

Great selection of tasty food, amazing with dairy/egg/oat allergy too.

Came in for lunch the other day, service was lovely. I ordered an oat honeycomb latte that was delicious. And a chicken pesto mozzarella ciabatta with hash brown bites which was lovely. Highly recommend xx

Gorgeous coffees! Love the soups of the day and the huge amount of vegan options!

Fairly small venue but with excellent staff and menu. Food and staff better than most places around. Would definitely recommend.

Good food and great service. Lots of food options for vegan and gluten free. It's a bit noisy when busy.

Excellent vegan options, lovely cafe with nice staff!

Great selection of food and catering for a celiac.

A warm welcome Coffee out of this world!

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.

Good options for GF and veggie. They have Tim Tams too!

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.

The food was so good and tasty, also quite reasonably priced. The staff were so lovely and kind. They also do beautiful rainbow bagels!!!

Extremely poor service they closed at 2.30, came all the way from far, parked the car and just realised they closed. Simple Google update can be done! Very bad..

Lovely wee place and reasonably priced

Cozy and friendly place to take a little break! The mushroom, spinach and cheese toast was very good as was the apple dessert. I forgot my water bottle... It's a gift

Found this lovely place tucked away on a side street on a visit to the V&A. Outstanding value and service.

A bit expensive but the food is good and it's a great vegan cafe. Always busy!

Bacon and cream cheese bagles were delightful, and the smoothie of the day was excellent. Sweet cake options left a little to be desired. Service was quick and efficient, with helpful staff. Atmosphere was a little clinical, but overall relaxed. Very good vegan options available.

Fantastic place........ Daughter is Vegan and the selection is great. With her being lactose intolerant, it's the first time in around a year that she's had a vegan milkshake.... Food / drinks were very good. Highly recommend.

Good selection of vegan and gluten free food. Friendly service good value.

Came across this cafe by chance. It was lovely. Calm, peaceful and cosy.

I go there everyday to get my soup and I’m obsessed 🫶🏻

came here a few times, honestly the best brunch place. such a cute atmosphere, plants, clean surfaces. the staff is always really welcoming and friendly. the service is also really quick + the prices are reasonable! absolutely would recommend, and bring friends for brunch!

Always visit here when in Dundee it’s a lovely little friendly cafe that caters for all vegan too. They do the most amazing rainbow bagels. We always have breakfast when visiting which is always 4 stars. Very friendly staff.

We arrived close to closing but we were welcomed just the same. We were served cups of excellent coffee and generous slices of home made cake. Staff are cheery.

Friendly atmosphere, good food Homemade soups and good selection of sandwiches. Very tasty.

Fantastic menu with lots of choice. Vegan bacon bagel was v yummy and hubby loved his homemade soup. Really nice, friendly staff too. A wee gem of a place and I'll be back to sample more tasty things on the menu.

Very nice coffee. Good atmosphere. Helpful, friendly staff. Clean. Nice toilet. Will be back.

What a gem of a cafe! It's so well located and, from the moment you enter, there is a warm welcome. Staff are knowledgeable and attentive. My friend and I had two of the three soups on offer and they were amazing. The toasties and cups of tea were excellent too. I would happily return here and would be confident to try anything on the menu.

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.

Lovely small venue with lots of vegan options, friendly staff and great cakes.

Excellent cafe. Nice atmosphere, very nice friendly staff and food was excellent. Highly recommend. Amazing choice for vegetarians, vegans and meat eaters.

Super cute cafe, perfect for a quick lunch. Best flat white I've had in a long time and the hash browns nuggets were a knockout.

Really tasty!! The Rainbow bagels are so cute too!

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.

Super cafe / restaurant. Lovely staff and great food Well worth a visit.

Excellent vegan and vegetarian food and good service.

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.

Really great place! Loverly good and really loverly staff! Loads of room and always a smile!

Great food, soup was tasty, pesto chicken ciabatta is fantastic, cakes are good and the best coffee (for me)in Dundee, and there's some great coffee shops here so that's saying something.

Love this cafe so so much! The vegan haggis toastie and rainbow bagel are our fav. Great coffee. Fantastic customer service Clean toilets 5⭐️

It has rainbow bagels. Nowhere else can top this. Amazing food, I recommend to everyone.

Really nice atmosphere, the food is good and conforting.

Perfect food. Have soup (curries veg) and a ciabatta (spiced chorizo). All tasty, good ingredients. Highly recommend.

The café was lovely and warm. The staff were welcoming and helpful. The portion sizes were just right and the food was delightful.

Amazing bagels, very friendly staff, nice ordering experience. Good variety and options for vegetarians and vegans.

Delicious vegan and GF breakfast/lunch and sweet treats! A bit of home away from home 🥝🌞🥐 loved the rainbow bagel’ x

Great food and excellent staff but its popularity has outgrown the premises and it needs larger accommodation, especially as there's nowhere else like this in Dundee.

Friendly staff and good coffee and cake.

Lovely cafe in Dundee town. Friendly staff, kid friendly, lively busy atmosphere. Decent food. Would recommend while visiting Dundee for sure.

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.

Food was really nice..its a lovely little cafe..First time I have been but I would go back

Have been a few times and always good. Our favourites are the salmon bagel, mushroom toast and hash nuggets. The soup is also very good

cute little café, with loads of vegan options, the Rainbow bagels are super cute! and can be customised with a lot of fillings, vegan and none.

Great food (especially the waffles and bacon). Great coffee and friendly staff. Great options for those with allergies or intolerances.

Really nice busy place with nice choice of food and cakes. Vegan and gluten-free friendly. Separate menu for vegan. Really good coffee and cakes.

Such yummy vegan milkshake!!! Very friendly staff too :)

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 😋

Excellent food and drinks! Very good for a nice brunch! Soups are great! Coffee is great, friendly staff!

Fab place for a bite with the kids. Mine go wild for the rainbow bagels!!

Lovely food! Cute little cafe and friendly staff.

Great food, reasonably priced and friendly staff

Great dairy free options, garlic mushrooms on toast and the lemon and coconut slice are amazing

Excellent freshly made food. Service is fantastic

Great little cafe. I thought it was a bit pretentious but it turned out to be spot on. Rainbow bagel and all. The food was goid and reasonably priced. Nice coffee too

Great menu and very tasty coffee

Good food and excellent vegan baking including cinnamon rolls (!)

We were visiting family in Dundee and had spent a while at the waterfront, then decided to go for lunch and the flame tree was thankfully still serving food. Service was welcoming and good, fairly quick service once we had ordered our food. A few items were forgotten about on the plate and we had to ask for them, but otherwise a great wee place in a good location. Thanks to the team for looking after us all.

The big windows are perfect to sit and get some sunshine. The soups nourishing.

The food is ok. Not like mind blowing but the price is reasonable. Staff are friendly BUTTTTT... No one wear gloves to prepare food. The same person makes a sandwich then put in oven and presses button with oily hands. Cashier who handle cash and coins also help in food prep without gloves. 😱

Had an excellent falafel wrap. Tasty. Came in a handy card box with salad and little French dressing (loved that) and crisps. Recommended.

Excellent Lemon and Coconut slice and a pot of tea. Worth a visit

Visited here recently for a spot of brunch to celebrate Mother’s Day. Made very welcome on arrival. Nice atmosphere. The food was very tasty and arrived quickly. We had waffles and Bacon, a BLT (on brioche) and ham and cheese croissants. The fruit smoothie was excellent too. Really pleasant service from all the waitresses and would highly recommend.

Perfect place to grab a bite, great service! the atmosphere is amazing. would definitely recommend :)

Amazing food Amazing service would 100% be back here again

the coronation chicken in the sandwich was watery and not thick and luxurious, tasted thin and watery . The bloomer bread was slightly stale not fresh. The hash brown nuggets although nice were not home made and the coffee ok but tasted scalded . Service was not overly friendly. A real shame as i used to like this place

Best cafe in Dundee, it has food and drinks for everyone! They do the best soups, and their milkshakes are delicious. Our kids love a rainbow bagel with Nutella, its one of their favourite treats....its often my choice too! Also the staff are brilliant, so friendly and welcoming!

Great place for a gluten free sandwich and a nice Cup of coffee

Top notch, great menu, excellent value, and fantastic staff, who managed to keep my fusspot elderly parents happy! Will be my first port of call for future trips to Dundee.

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 .

my favourite cafe and where I take anyone visiting Dundee. It's usually busy but if full I usually just wait outside for someone to leave 😂.

The best coffee I've ever tasted. The food is fresh and amazing to eat

Great brunch menu featuring various fillings of bagels/rolls, and other things including Belgian waffles, bacon and maple syrup. Good vegan/veggie options. Reasonable prices and pleasant service and atmosphere.

Lovely little cafe with a varied menu

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.

The Rainbow Bagel with veg. Haggis was tasty, perhaps a bit dry. Nice little cafe. Was worth it

We popped in for breakfast having read the reviews excellent! Waffles, bacon and maple syrup for me and a toastie for my partner both delicious made to order and hot. The coffees two oat milk cappuccinos were also excellent

Small well run cafe staff brilliant

Food was lovely and coffee ace. Would like to go back again. We were visiting Dundee to see discovery and it set us up for the day

Great staff and lovely home baking and coffee to die for.

Visited based on other reviews, got there as they were closing but they were happy to serve takeaway. Many thanks, blondies were very tasty

Great Aussie style cafe in the middle of Dundee. It help cure my homesickness with the Aussie foods on offer as well as great coffee

I stopped in for a drink and some food with my son. I had the bacon and maple waffles and he had a cheese and ham toastie. The food was excellent and very filling. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Definitely somewhere we will be going again in the future.

Very pleasant experience first time there will definitely be back.

Great vegan options. Especially liked the cinnamon bun! Friendly and helpful staff. Will be back.

What a find! Lovely little cafe in the centre of Dundee but rather off the beaten track. Clearly the locals know all about it as I was lucky to get a table at 1.30 on a Weds and it’s still full at 2.30. Friendly staff (boss is an Ozzie) and great quality fresh eats, mostly bread -based and cakes. I had roast veg and mozzarella ciabatta, with filling oozing enticingly onto the plate. And Bundaberg ginger beer. Yum.
