At Café Dundee, we’re always dreaming up treats that surprise and delight — and this week, our newest creation has become an absolute favourite among regulars and first-time visitors alike. Introducing our Lemon, Poppy Seed & White Chocolate Muffins — light, fluffy, and bursting with flavour from the very first bite.
These aren’t just any muffins — they’re experience-worthy. Soft, airy, and golden, each muffin is a harmony of bright citrus notes from fresh lemon, a gentle crunch from poppy seeds, and creamy sweetness from luscious white chocolate. And just when you think it can’t get better… we’ve added a heart of juicy lemon curd, oozing with tangy goodness that gives every bite a delightful surprise.
What Makes Them Special
Our lemon poppy seed base is inspired by classic bakery favourites that balance tangy lemon with a soft, moist crumb — a beloved combination that’s both refreshing and comforting. Fresh lemon zest and juice are folded into the batter, infusing each muffin with bright citrus flavour that pairs perfectly with the subtle texture of poppy seeds.
Then comes the twist: rich white chocolate that melts into the batter, adding a creamy sweet depth to counterbalance the citrus zing. And tucked right in the centre — a generous spoonful of lemon curd that bursts with every bite, taking this muffin from delicious to unforgettable.
Perfect Pairing with Your Coffee
Whether you’re grabbing a morning espresso or settling in with an afternoon latte, these muffins are the ideal companion. The sharpness of lemon cuts through the richness of coffee, while the white chocolate and curd offer sweetness that makes every sip and bite sing together.
Light, Fluffy, & Full of Joy
What we love most about these muffins is their texture — light and fluffy with a moist crumb that always keeps you coming back for more. They embody exactly what we want from a café treat: familiar yet exciting, comforting yet playful.
