The decor is charming and comfortable. I was there around teatime and they were doing a good business. The only negative was a couple of inconsiderate customers playing videos loudly on their phones. For the sake of other customers, perhaps the staff might have asked them to knock it off. I can also understand why they didn't. I was there in September 2021.

The interior reminds me of my grandmas living room, and the teacups are pretty much copycats from those I collect at home (when is 22 tea cups ever too much?) Pal and I ordered two teapots: earl grey for me, apple crunch for her. We weren't hungry, but I wish we were cause the meringue and cream with berries sounds deelish!! Loved everything about this place; the welcoming and chatty owner with her retro hairdo, the 1940 s music in the background, the homy cosy feel, the cute china. Perfect for a comforting cuppa on a grey day. Will go back for more!

Somewhat off the beaten path next to Linn park, The Derby is an old fashioned cafe that's been…read morethere for over 70 years, and is still always busy. The menu is typical tea room fayre, with toasties, filled rolls and sandwiches etc, and we could have no complaints over our lunch of a cheese and ham toastie and a tuna baked potato. The young guy serving us was friendly too and quite funny as he tried to up-sell the caramel shortcake in the manner of a trader at the barras offing three cigarette lighters for a pound. We had to decline though, as we were going for a takeaway ice cream, which is the jewel in the Derby's crown. Their vanilla cones are seriously among the most delicious I've had and can become quite addictive if you're passing regularly. An essential stop-off if you're in this neck of the woods.

After driving…read morethe back streets and struggling to get a parking spot I was over the moon to finally get inside this lovely little cafe/tea room to meet up with a friend. It's a small space but it actually doesn't feel too small - we were able to chat without feeling like the whole place could hear our conversation. The menu is pretty simple - sandwiches, soup and afternoon tea. I decided just to get a toasted chicken and cheese sandwich while my friend got soup and 1/2 sandwich. It was a lovely sandwich and nicely presented, and with a side of crisps (I said no to the offer of salad). The soup was properly chunky, more like a broth and looked lovely. We stayed for a while with teas and coffee, and the bill was very reasonable. I'd definitely pop back here for another visit if I was in Cambuslang again.

Afternoon Tea in an amazingly restored Art Nouveau interior by Mackintosh. The origins of this…read morebuilding was it was commissioned by Catherine Cranston who was a leading figure in the development of tea rooms and a major supporter and patron of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. It was originally opened in 1903 and restored and reopened in 2018. It's the last surviving Mackintosh tea room and worth coming to for amazing architecture and history. If you are seated near the windows people-watching is SO good and doing it from the high-backed Mackintosh chairs gives the whole experience an very surreal quality. The third floor was not occupied when we went and I liked the blue colors, this is also the floor where the bathrooms are. My wife wanted to try a traditional British afternoon tea experience, for some reason we have never tried it before and have been to the UK, Scotland, and Ireland before. The appealing this is its the stereotype of the experience with fancy pots and teacups for the tea, and stacks of small plates on a carrying tray like a movie. They offer a "classic" afternoon tea which has a mixture of sandwiches with smoked salmon, egg salad, cucumber, and ham. Sweets are fruit scones or cake with homemade short bread rounds. My wife got this one. They also offer a "savory" afternoon tea which I got. The sandwiches are the same but it comes with haggis on oatcakes, sausage pastry roll, chicken, and a cheese and tomato tart. I got this and we both loved these. For teas we highly, highly recommend the House blended tea "Mackintosh". It's like a "super" version of black tea and I never had one like it. It's so good we keep trying to replicate an English Afternoon tea like this at home!

Told you it was right in the heart. Boom boom! It's been opened for quite a while now and I have driven by so many times longing to have a wee try. As I'm now getting all super healthy 'n' that and I can now walk to work, the world's my oyster and I can now swing by anytime. Super bonus! I finished a shift early so decided this was my moment to have a late lunch and give in to my aching longing. My folks had been a couple of times before, once for a Christmas party. They did warn me that it was a little expensive but it was a lovely experience and the food was good. So eyeballed the menu and I have to agree it was a big ol' mighty on the steep side. I was quite surprised for a Blantyre café, so this is where it loses a wee star. I asked the fine lady 'what be the soup of the day' and she said 'cream of vegetable'. 'One bowl please'. I opted for this as it was £3 for soup and crusty bread. A baked potato was £5 with cheese and coleslaw and went up with the various fillings you choose. I can't remember the sandwiches but they were quite pricey too. The cheapest hot food on the menu was chips at £2. Talk about cheap as chips. Haw haw! Sorry! Anyhoo, when I was in a Byres Road establishment today and saw that their baked potatoes started at the £2.50 mark, I was proven right at the expense. It's probably a catch 22 for them that if they keep it low it won't cover costs blah blah etc... It came across as a calm environment but you would think that it'd be over run by school kids, especially as the high school is literally a stones throw away as well as the primary across the road. Blissfully they aren't as The Little Tearoom have a notice up to say that children must be accompanied with an adult. So it's an unruly kiddie free zone. It's also a brand spanking new build so built for the purpose of serving fine food and afternoon tea. I will return, oh yes, I will be back. Hopefully try an afternoon tea, maybe a wee cheeky breakfast roll on my way to work. Who knows?!

The finger sandwiches and cakes were also really good and I actually did leave full, as did my travel companions. The servers were friendly and checked in often, and the place itself was actually fairly big (had 2 floors and we sat in a corner on the second floor), but it had a quant feel. The cost per person was reasonable in my opinion at £16 per person for a mini pot of tea and selection of sandwiches and tea cakes. We really enjoyed our experience there and I would recommend it to anyone looking to have a lovely afternoon tea!
