What a fab wee cafe! We stopped in for a wee bit of breakfast in our way to the V&A! Perfect bacon and egg ciabatta, and simple options for kids too!

Cycle hub to the rescue. I had been struggling to source an affordable second hand 14” wheel for my 5yr old son’s bike, the second hand market for kids bike parts is tricky. Throwaway culture perhaps. I called cycle hub, they sourced a wheel in around a week from their Forfar warehouse, they even sourced a blue one as per request. Dropped bike in on an extremely busy, sunny July Saturday morning and had some lovely soup at the cafe while the guys changed the wheel, moved the tyre over and did a puncture repair, total bill £18. These guys are doing really great work and keeping a lot of people on their wheels affordably, 5 stars, would recommend a donation or tip if you pop in to keep places like this thriving. They’re booked up for generic bike service work until September (review August 3rd ) - I can see why. Will be looking at a second hand adult bike from here and any future work I need done I’m going back. Keep up the good work gents.

Lovely cafe in a beautiful setting! Varied menu with good vegetarian options and even a whole menu for dogs great prices and great food, was really impressed with all the hummus and pitta I got for only £4.45, and my mum loved her scone and said it tasted nice and homemade and had lovely big raisins. Had a fantastic view of the Tay the whole time as well. Wasn't too busy or noisy.
