A much-loved city centre café has closed its doors for the final time after six years of serving the people of Dundee.
Little Things Café, based on Reform Street, announced its closure this week, leaving many loyal customers saddened by the news.
Known for its welcoming atmosphere and warm community feel, the café quickly became a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. Little Things built a reputation as more than just a place to eat and drink.
In a heartfelt statement shared on Facebook, the family behind the café confirmed the decision, describing it as one of the hardest they have ever had to make.
“Even the best ‘little things’ must come to an end,” the post read. “It is with a heavy heart that we must announce that Little Things Café has come to the end of its journey and we have decided to close the café for good - with immediate effect.”
The owners explained that challenging economic conditions and rising trading costs made it no longer possible to continue.
Despite their best efforts, the café’s future became uncertain in the current climate facing many small businesses across the country.
Reflecting on the past six years, they highlighted how much the café had meant to their family and their customers.
“For the past six years, Little Things has been more than just a café, it’s been a huge part of our family’s life. It has been a place of community, laughter and connection. We have had the most amazing customers and a team that has made it feel like a real family.”
The statement concluded with a note of gratitude to everyone who supported the café throughout its journey. “This fantastic journey wouldn’t have been possible without every single one of you. Thank you for all the support you have given us over the years and all the moments of fun and laughter!”
The closure marks the end of an era for Reform Street, where Little Things Café had become a familiar and comforting presence.
Though its doors are now closed, many Dundonians will remember it fondly as a place that brought joy, connection and, above all, the little things that mattered most.
