Whitehall Cres0.2 mi from Dundee centrelast reviewed July 2026

Empire State Coffee roasts its own house blend on Whitehall Crescent, then pours it in a downstairs room fitted out with New York subway-themed seating.

In Dundee, the house roast is the real draw, not the subway theming downstairs.

Stenecki Coffee★★ Specialty

Stenecki is a Dundee roastery-cafe pairing single-origin coffee with an unexpected menu of Polish pierogi and shakshuka.

Mana Coffee★★ Specialty

The pastry case out front undersells it. Behind it runs a proper specialty espresso bar pouring Deptford roaster Elsewhere Coffee, not a bakery with coffee on the side.

Höfn Coffee★★ Specialty

The flat white is balanced, well-pulled, and finished with proper microfoam, coffee that now holds its own against the cinnamon rolls and tiramisu loaf on the counter.
