No matter the day or time, our stomachs always have space for some sweet treats and cakes. Here is a list of the top Broughty Ferry cafes to enjoy one (or two).
With its lovely seaside views, the quaint Broughty Ferry is a favourite location for many locals and visitors to enjoy an ice cream as they walk, or stop for some cake and tea with a friend.
Here is a list of some of our favourite places to visit. We would recommend booking a table in the majority of these venues, as they can get quite busy on nicer days.
Sweetpea Cafe
Run by owner and mum Zoe Lawson, Sweetpea Cafe on Brook Street is a small and homely place.
Everyone is made to feel welcome at Sweetpea, with Zoe baking fresh cakes and changing her menu daily.
The café caters to a range of diets with their free-from range ensuring that everyone can enjoy a bake and try something new.
Address: 327A Brook Street, Broughty Ferry DD5 2DS
Willows
A favourite place for many locals is Willows on Brook Street, with their range of breakfasts and lunches, and the cake cabinet.
Willows offer a range of firm favourites including fresh scones, teacakes, caramel shorties, chocolate cakes, fruit slices and the list goes on.
If you are looking for a café to enjoy a slice of cake and watch the world go by, this venue is the one to try.
Address: 163-189 Brook Street, Broughty Ferry, Dundee, DD5 1DJ
Gracies of Broughty Ferry
With their outdoor themed wallpaper and friendly staff, Gracies is a great spot to visit on the weekend to enjoy some tea and cakes or tray bakes.
Serving a range of comfort food, as well as a mix of new flavours, Gracies cakes are a lovely way to enjoy a delicious treat after a walk through the town centre.
For Gracies cake is always the answer, the question is irrelevant. In the food and drink team, we very much agree.

Visocchis
If you are looking for something sweet but don’t want cake, then Visocchis café on Gray Street has something special for you.
With their authentic Italian cannolis and warm and fresh bombolinis, you can enjoy these sweet treats whilst you walk along the beach or while sitting in if you prefer.
And if ice cream is more your thing, you’re in luck because they have a whole counter of delicious flavours to choose from.
Address: 40 Gray Street, Broughty Ferry DD5 2BJ
Bowmans Coffee House
Susan Bowman opened her second cafe in Broughty Ferry in September 2022, taking the step out of Monifieth.
Open six days a week, not on Sundays, there’s plenty time to stop by and enjoy some home baking.
The selection varies daily, but Susan promises there are always plenty of sweet treats to choose from, be it freshly made scones, cakes or traybakes.
Address: 286 Brook Street, Broughty Ferry DD5 2AN
