Gracie’s

Stepping into Gracie’s feels like slipping into a well-loved corner of Broughty Ferry where the rhythm is unhurried and inviting. Tucked just a street back from the estuary, the café balances the gentle buzz of a neighborhood spot with a warm, lived-in comfort that welcomes both familiar faces and new visitors alike. Whether you arrive with a dog in tow, a pram in hand, or simply seeking a quiet moment, the atmosphere here is calm yet alive with the quiet hum of friendly conversation and the soft clinking of cups.

The pace at Gracie’s aligns perfectly with its surroundings; a place to slow down and linger over thoughtfully crafted coffee and breakfast plates that feel both comforting and thoughtfully adventurous. The aroma of fresh brews drifts alongside the tempting scent of homemade cakes, inviting casual sharing or a solo pause with a book. It's the kind of spot where the little touches — a perfectly pulled cappuccino, a slice of moist carrot cake, or an array of colourful brunch bowls — create a feeling of ‘just right’ rather than rushed or formulaic.

Beyond the menu, it’s the attentive ease of the service and the genuine warmth of the team that shape the experience. Gracie’s accommodates with quiet kindness, whether helping families navigate their choices or welcoming four-legged friends with a water bowl by the door. This openness gently weaves the café into the fabric of the community, making it a natural stop for a weekend stroll or an easy weekday treat. Here, moments are savoured — from the first sip of a rich latte to the last crumb of a red velvet slice — crafting simple, honest pleasures in a setting that feels quietly special.
