Dundee

Kate works here as a full time barista, so she may be a bit biased. Located inside the Dundee Theatre Filmstreams, the space is bright & filled with plants - much like our home! Coffeeshop & lunch spot in the morning, turning into a table service wine bar at night. Everything is made from scratch & organic, if not local. Highly recommended for a great coffee or cozy place to share plates at dinner - check out a film while you’re there!
