Had some abstract writing and prep for a talk to do. That gave the opportunity for some #EarlyCoffee.
Black Sheep Coffee
Opens Mon-Fri at 6.30am (Sat 7am; Sun 8am).
#FlatWhite £3.89
#Espresso £2.39
Dishwasher was not working, only takeaway cups that morning.
Has internet/ Wifi, but only if you leave your telephone number with the provider. [i.e. no internet, good to get some work done 🤭 ]
Back to basics for #DunDeCofaidh:
Double #Espresso £2.00
at #DUSA
Very nice.
The #FlatWhite still comes at £2.60, but after delivering a 3hr workshop, I needed something fast-acting 😅
Opens at 08:30am, i.e. not suitable for #EarlyCoffee
Posts for #DunDeCofaidh were a bit quiet over the break, and also, the #FlatWhite price now breaks through the £4.00 line in many places.
Nevertheless, great opportunity to catch up with a colleague at #EH9 (Perth Road).
#FlatWhite £4.00
On the border for #EarlyCoffee, though:
Mon-Fri 8am-5:30pm
Sat 9am-4pm
Sun 10am-4pm

Sunday relaxation with a cup of educational #coffee 🤭
Grateful to my colleague who brought it from India 🙇♂️
Proven wrong very quickly. I thought I remembered having had a #Bombon at #HeavenlyDesserts. And indeed, there it was ☺️☕
Bombon £3.75
#FlatWhite £4.25
Just nothing for #EarlyCoffee...
(opens 11am, weekend 10am)
I don't think the #Bombon or the #LecheLeche will make it soon to #Dundee 's #coffee landscape. Even more an incentive to enjoy them when travelling. ☕
I was in early in #Dundee, before coffee shops should reasonably open.
Ended up in Coffee & Co
Opens at 7.00am (Sat 8am, Sun 10am)
#FlatWhite £3.65
Wifi with 45min max use of Laptop policy.
Good start into the day with #coffee and a #TheWitcher -inspired #Gaidhlig lesson with Jason

That YouTube labels some of Jason's videos as "foreign" in the UK reminded me a bit of this strange encounter in a #Dundee bookshop (👉 https://mastodon.social/deck/@jrboehnke/114602897668158561).
But it seems the algorithm even identifies videos without sound as such🤦 (thanks, Reddit!)
On our way into the #Highlands stopping in a village with a population of about 800, and a #FlatWhite span from £3.50 to £4.20 😅☕️
Mentioned before here, but now for #DunDeCofaidh on the outer rim of the #EarlyCoffee window: MANA
Opens Mon-Sun 8.00am
#FlatWhite £3.90
Cortado £3.60
Internet/Wifi
My favourite coffee shop in Dundee at the moment. And it seems, increasingly so seen by others as well 😅

[edit 18.11.2025: confirmed FW price, added Cortado]
