McNallys Bakers

McNally's Bakers is a small independent bakery and counter-cafe on Arbroath Road just east of the Forfar Road junction in inner Stobswell. The shop runs a hybrid trade that covers the daytime working pattern of the surrounding streets — bacon and sausage rolls, all-day breakfasts, soup and sandwich plates, hot pies, panini, baked potatoes, hot dogs and traybakes, with the actual bakery counter running cakes, pastries and the kind of in-house traybake range that Dundee bakeries are known for. Online ordering and delivery sit alongside the over-the-counter trade, which is unusual for a small bakery but reflects how aggressively the daytime takeaway market in east Dundee has moved to delivery platforms. Catchment is the inner-east working population — Stobswell residents, the small business and trade premises along Arbroath Road, the bus route along the Forfar Road — plus the morning office-and-school trade. The shop is one of the small independents that work the daytime market alongside the dense evening curry, kebab and Chinese cluster that fills the same stretch of road from mid-afternoon onwards.
