The Bach

slow saturday mornings have a way of needing somewhere to land, and meadowside is a reasonable place to start looking. the bach sits at number 31, close enough to the centre of dundee that you're not trekking anywhere, far enough from the main retail drag that the pace feels different. it's well regarded locally, and that kind of reputation tends to hold in a city this size because there's nowhere to hide behind tourist traffic. what draws people back is harder to pin down without being there, but consistency matters more than novelty when a place becomes part of someone's actual week. the coffee is the point here, not the occasion around it. if you're coming in off meadowside on a grey dundee morning, a cortado is probably the right call.
