Terrible service, unresponsive and uncoordinated staff. There were empty tables and not many customers but waiting time was too long.

We had been wandering the west end of Dundee trying to find some healthy and delicious vegetarian food. We stumbled across the Parlour cafe and were delighted to have done so. It’s a small, cosy and friendly place where we found the service exemplary and the food just what we needed. I enjoyed a freshly-made slice of tortilla with a tasty salad while my husband found his halloumi and aubergine baguette (also with salad) delicious. Just as importantly, the pot of tea for one was enough to serve 4 mugs had I been thirsty enough. Recommended.

Nice small cafe serving a range of fresh salads and vegan options. Limited seating and can be busy at times. Nice range of cakes.

I came for breakfast and ordered a toastie and an ice latte. The staff notified me that the toastie would be a few minutes late and offered me another coffee whilst I waited which was great. The good and particularly the coffee were delicious!

I used to meet friends for lunch here in the 90s and it was always good. I was in for coffee and cake today and the lunchtime choices look really tempting. Now that I am back in Dundee, I will be here regularly again. I was so pleased to find it still flourishing.

You really can’t beat it, I can’t recall how many times I’ve been in just to eat the vegan homemade roll. They come with salads too which are always great. They occasionally have one vegan cake option on the go. I personally feel parlour makes the best chai in Dundee (from a barista!)

Friendly staff, we left the decision to them to chose a cake for us as we were indecisive and awkward. Coffe was great and the cake was great.
We had the meze and a couple of glasses of wine. The food was beautiful; fresh and tasty. The service was excellent too. Can't wait to go back and also to visit Cambo Gardens.

Great place. Genuinely the best cake and coffee in all of Dundee and the ferry. I’ve been loads and it’s always lovely. I’ve tried the sandwiches once and they were great as well. Definitely recommend.

First and last as time there. It was very busy when 4 of us went in for a coffee we were given paper cups (no issue there) 3 of the party were sitting whilst I queued. Sitting drinking our coffee, which was pretty good, when our server very rudely said 'We'll let you off this time, but the price for sit is more than takeaway '. Now, at no time was I asked if we were sit in or takeaway (3/4 of our part were at a table in plain view of the counter) nor were there any prices displayed to let me know what price I should be paying. Had they come over and said sorry didn't know you were sitting in and the wrong price was charged I would have happily paid the difference.Another wee thing to note is the food is left uncovered and was being talked and coughed over. So sorry, hard pass here!

This place has the best coffee in the area! I'm a regular for a Mocha because it's delicious and at a competitive price!

Disappointed - heard that the place was great for fresh food and it looked amazing. The choices pictured online made it look like there were vegan options - which were sadly almost completely absent upon arrival.Staff and atmosphere are great, however.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian, yes.Vegan, no.
