Fiercly independent & Kiwi
Back home in Aotearoa, a bach, pronounced “batch”, is a simple holiday home, away from it all — somewhere you go to slow down, eat well with whānau and friends, and not worry about anything much. We brought that feeling to Dundee.
Brunch and coffee have been at the core of what we do for 10 years now. Today, we also cook over kanaku, a lesser known word for fire in te reo Māori, because it’s what we grew up doing and it makes everything taste better. We cook what we love — food from everywhere we've lived, travelled and eaten over the years.
We don't care what you're wearing, so come grab a pew, and if you see us about, have a chat.
Aroha nui, Steven & Wendy
The Taproom
A tight, rotating selection of craft beer. Ten taps, and another 15+ bottles and cans to try, from Scotland, England and a few from further afield, including the odd one from Aotearoa. But it's not just about the beer: we've got wine, spirits, cocktails, and low and no alcohol too. Served from 12 noon.

Work & study
The library is free, but it hasn't got bottomless coffee or a kitchen. Monday to Friday, 9 till 4, buy a Bach Pass and make the Taproom yours: fast Wi-Fi, plenty of power, bottomless Bach Brew, and real food brought to your table, with £2 off brunch before 12 and after 2:30.
About the Bach Pass →We're an 8 minute walk from Dundee train station. We're super easy to find, with a taxi rank across the road from the McManus Gallery and DC Thomson HQ and there's car parking a short walk away in Gellatly Street or the Wellgate.

We'd hate you to miss out, so we recommend booking for weekends and lunchtimes — walk-ins are always welcome.
