My wife and I stumbled on this place by accident after trying two other places that had closed who knows how long ago. We both got the Cajun Chicken which was seasoned chicken with poached eggs, hollandaise Sauce on an English muffin. It was super good and we were very happy to have found this little spot! read more

Darling tea house with fantastic service! We came for breakfast and ordered a scone with clotted cream and strawberry jam, eggs Benedict, and the Scottish breakfast. Everything tasted wonderful! The clotted cream was to die for!! We had a pot of the oolong tea and a pot of the rubarb and ginger teas. Both were delicious! read more

Many thanks to you guys for filling my wee belly with scrummy, yummy, oinky, bready goodness, but also for affording my eyes a feast of uber chic, 'oooft, ma Granny would pure love this wee place' tables, chairs, crockery (ignore the big fook off telly) and paintings on offer. Sitting proud on Bath Street, which is quickly becoming my little West End oasis in the City Centre, the Tea Room just does what is does, so very well. Cakes, tea, sandwiches and other food, the Tea Room does it all with a nice wee bit fo old school class and style that may well be missing from joint in town. I shall be back, next time to enjoy a wee sittty downy, eaty type experience. But for now, I leave with a happy belly and a smile on my pig filled face. read more

I was visiting the Tea Rooms for a meeting and loved the space - generous sized tables, comfortable cosy furnishings and a good level of chatter as background noise. I wouldn't normally order a full breakfast at 3.30pm in the afternoon but sometimes when you're hungry, you just can't think straight. The waitress egged me on too, so she's partly to blame. What was delivered was amazing - a huge (vintage) plate piled high with food. Tattie scone, toast, two perfectly poached eggs, grilled tomatoes, mushroom, square sausage and black pudding - yum! There are normally beans with it but I asked that they be left off as I'm pretty sure they are the worst thing to be invented in the history of mankind. Everything was well cooked and delicious. I can't fault any of it (although it is a little hard to have a meeting and eat a full breakfast at the same time, lesson learnt). For around £10 it was great value - and then to discover you also get a pot of tea and orange juice too - double win. Pro tip: the toilets are downstairs in the Butterfly & The Pig. No, this doesn't mean that you need to leave the Tea Rooms to get there! You can use the stairs inside the entrance of the Tea Rooms. read more

The Tea Rooms - Big breakfast £10 with tea & OJ - Tea Rooms Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

Is this heaven? It must be. I. AM. IN. HEAVEN. There's tea and cake a-plenty, all served up on the finest, most dainty crockery. Don your finest tea dress and put your pinky in the air because The Tea Rooms is just the place for afternoon tea and I bloody well love it. Small and quaint but with an almighty cake cabinet, just how could I refuse a pot of tea and a slice of carrot cake? Of course, I couldn't. And I challenge you to look at their freshly baked selection and and not quiver with sheer excitement. The mega cake slab that was served before us was enough for two so me and my mum were glad that we had opted to share a slice. I've recently found myself on an unintentional lifelong search for the holy grail of carrot cake. In my opinion, there is no cake like that of the carrot and I can't not order it if it's on the menu. And so, I can't help but judge a cafe on it's offering. The Tea Rooms served up, quite possibly, the best I've had. I wanted to lick the plate. No, no, no...I wanted it to last forever. It was moist, it was luscious, it had walnuts and a perfect cream topping. Delicious! It's the closest to carrot cake perfection I've come across and I await my next slice with great anticipation and a very sweet tooth. So, it cost me £4. But I'd say that's okay for a share-able slice for two. If I was there alone, I think I'd ask for a half-slice because they really do go to town on the portions. So, yes; for two, that's quite alright and I'd bear that in mind when ordering cake. Staff were really very lovely and made us feel extremely welcome and attended to, constantly checking the floor to check everything was alright. I'd definitely consider a full afternoon tea here at some point as, on first impressions, it really is the perfect place for it. Sweet! read more

Yummy, yummy. Huuuge amounts of cake. This might be the biggest high tea in Glesca and if you find it too much they'll give you a wee doggy bag to take home to complete your greedy stuff-your-cakehole-fest in the privacy of your own scullery. I think this is great value (£11 per person for high tea) and very nicely done. The cakes are very fine. The sandwiches don't have the crusts cut off as you would find in fancier high teas but are really tasty - and you get crisps tae! I love the oldfashioned mismatched-furniture-and-china look of the place. A cup of tea always tastes nicest out of fine mismatched china don't you think? read more

After a busy morning I came in here to grab some breakfast grand city centre building giving a feel of "dam this is going to be expensive" Go in and hear some posh voices waffling away in the pretty decor and well laid out tables .... Yup definitely going to cost me more than a happy meal! I'm seated and straight away brought over a jug of ice water ..... Nice touch I'm given a menu and ..... Eh..... Is this correct ..... Are those prices for real???? That's cheaper than an out of town mediocre cafe!!!! Got the Smoked salmon eggs Benedict and a pot of tea Food was well presented and tasted amazing, the salmon was sandwiched between the bread to stop it from cooling the eggs I'm guessing. Tonnes of salmon and the bread had a nice crunch to it giving a lovely alternative texture to the soft eggs and salmon Negative, salmon was very cold and as such really cooled down the whole dish quickly, egg not as runny on the yoke as I would have liked Tea was lovely, the pot was enough to fill my cup 3 times Really great service even if they did pick the usual opportunity of me shovelling a fork full in to my mouth before asking how it is, if I was braver is spit it all over the table and answer rather than mumble and nod mid chew I loved the setting and loved the food I will definitely go back again read more

+ Interesting environment + Great atmosphere + Friendly efficient staff + Large portions of tasty tea, sandwiches and cakes - Dirty cups and plates (maybe a word with the plongeur or service the dishwasher) - Horrible, huge telly Afternoon tea. I'm very fond of the institution. I thought it would make a lovely birthday treat and with that in mind, I set about looking for options here in Glasgow. I've been to The Tea Rooms quite a few times before - usually with visitors - but it has been quite a while, so I was pleasantly surprised when its name appeared on the list. Naturally, I checked with the oracle of eateries before plumping for a table for two in Bath Street at four o' clock, Saturday. It was cold and wet so we cut our wee wander short and arrived ten minutes early. We were led to a table for two, handed a couple of menus and asked if we had any special dietary needs. Once we'd established that 'loadsa sticky buns and lashings of tea' would be best, we got down to the business of ordering a pot of Earl Grey and lapsang souchong. Did I mentioned that it was Saturday and that it was raining? It will come as no surprise then that the place was absolutely jam-packed! Nevertheless, we only waited some 15 minutes - we did arrive early - for our afternoon tea to arrive. If you've not been before, this gives you plenty of time to marvel at the veritable cornucopia of crockery. Honestly, it's a glazed League of Nations. Sadly, the effect is somewhat spoiled by the its general grubbiness. Oh, there were no chips or cracks; it could just all have done with being washed properly. This, combined with the general décor, falls somewhere between your granny's parlour and Hackney Wick car boot sale. I know it's already been mentioned by Chris D. but the humongous telly really is a bit of an eyesore. Luckily, we were seated right below it and the sound was muted. So, the afternoon tea...it's a belly-bomber! I'm glad we didn't get the two o' clock booking. The granny theme continues into the cakes, all of which tasted home-made. There were plenty of sandwiches - I didn't find them dry at all. Of course, we are not talking Bavarian smoked or Tuscan sun-ripened here; it's a piece on cheese and tomato. And, hey, it's not The Savoy and neither is the price! Overall, a very enjoyable experience! Great atmosphere - it really is best when it's busy. And at £12.50 per person I'd definitely recommend a visit. But don't take my word for it! Go along and make up your own mind. read more

Thanks yelp again for leading me here! I've only ever had afternoon tea at one other place before and I didn't really enjoy it, so I was really hoping this was going to be better - and thank god it was amazing! There were plenty of sandwiches with plenty of filling inside, some cakes which included a carrot cake; chocolate cake; 2x scones filled with jam and cream; a lemon cake and I think also an almond cake. There were also 2 oatcake slices with cream cheese and smoked salmon on top - which was my favourite I think :) it also came with a pot of tea with unlimited refills (only the water, they keep the same teabags). The pricing was probably just your normal price for a high tea, around £11pp but for what you got with it - definitely worth it. I really loved the decor as well, so vintage! I loved their little vintage teapots in particular - will definitely need to acquire one for myself! read more

Friendly service. Huge spread for afternoon tea for one (£12.50) enjoyed the chicken sandwich with the side of chips and subtly sweet pickle slices. No tea sized Sammie's here. Large portions. My favorite of the sweets would have to be the scone smeared with strawberry jam and a generous dollop of light whipped cream...light and rich at the same time! This place oozes charm with their vintage teapots on display in a cupboard, fresh single stem flower at the table, small worn wooden tables. read more

Refusing to buy a cake in the Tea Rooms is a bit like refusing to buy a Big Issue from the same vendor you pass on a daily basis. Even though you really can't afford to and don't particularly want to, you know you should. The cakes, like the seller, glare at you. If they could speak, they'd be saying, "if you can't afford me, how come you're drinking a pot of tea?", just like the Big Issue seller thinks, "how come you're clutching a Gregg's bag if you can't help the homeless?". In my defence, my visit to the Tea Rooms came shortly after a grotesquely sized lunch and was only ever meant to include tea. Situated above the Butterfly and the Pig, the cafe is a classic mixture of old and new. The lovely china and grand, classically decorated tables are complemented by a big screen showing Sky Sports News, while people-watching on Bath Street through the huge windows serves as a reminder you are in the centre of Glasgow when, given the decor and atmosphere, it would be easy to think you were in the middle of the countryside. But this place really is about the cakes. Sitting provocatively in a cabinet at the front of the tea room, they continue to stare at you as you try to enjoy your company's conversation. The berries on top of the cup cakes follow you around the room while the two halves of the scones mouth the words "eat me". On this occasion I resist but next time will be different. In fact, that's it; new year's resolutions: eat more cake and help the homeless. read more

A bit like Miss Cranston's, this place is retro, eclectic, and decked out to be slightly old fashioned, but it's secretly modern. Baby sister of the Butterfly and the Pig (downstairs) , this place is something to behold. The old furniture, which is surprisingly comfy, despite how it looks, the mishmash of cutlery and crockery (you won't find anything matching - apparently it's all 'antique'), you'll find people as old as the furniture (sorry, no offence), sitting gabbling over tea and cakestands. Mmm... french fancies... It's random, and that's why it works - my only probelm is with the flat screen tv - just when were they about in the olden days!? Too modern, guys, too modern. read more

First time ever having tea (a must for anyone visiting the UK) and it was a great experience. I got the afternoon tea for 13,95 pounds. I chose the rhubarb ginger tea and got a cute little pot of the delicious stuff. The little tray of treats had a few baked goods, some sandwiches, pickled cucumbers, a cracker with smoked salmon, and some freshly made potato chips. The baked goods were all delightful and some of the best I have ever tried. The sandwiches were amazing as well; all had unique flavors. Wonderful first experience! read more

Although in hindsight we should have probably booked a table for afternoon tea, we were really well looked after and had drinks in the bar downstairs until a table was ready, at which point an exceptionally lovely lady came down to fetch us. My sisters and I had the prosecco afternoon tea and there was so much cake we had to take some home with us. We fell in love with the mismatched china and furniture and with the delicately pickled cucumber slices. The perfect way to spend a relaxed yet oh-so-civilised afternoon. read more

This tea room is associated with the Butterfly & Pig pub. One door down bath street towards the town. It is is the ideal place for afternoon or high tea or eating early before the cinema or a show. The hours are from 5 to 8pm do be prepared and get there in plenty of time. The food is cooked here and is simple but excellent, the bread and cakes are also baked here by hand. The menu is small but perfectly formed and only the most churlish would not find something to suit. The chintz and bric-a-brac hark back to earlier days and the service too is reminiscent of this being polite and efficient. This place is very highly recommended. The cutlery, plates, tables, chairs and ornaments are all authentic in their age. This is grand recycling and you probably reduce your carbon footprint by enjoying yourself here read more

What's not to like about having this gorgeous tearoom slap bang in the middle of the city? I love my tea and they serve a fine pot. As well as tea their selection of cakes is divine. On the ground floor there's a main room with different size tables and in the hall there are smaller tables for two so you can hide away in a wee nook. Upstairs there are two rooms, you can book these so fab for a girlie meet up or even to hire for a meeting. One thing that needs to be mentioned is the décor. Dark oak panels, huge mirrors to brighten it and chintz galore. So much mixed china with no two tea sets the same. Just love it. please be aware that you have to climb about 6 steps to get in, I'm not sure about access for anyone using a wheelchair. read more

I have been wanting to try The Tea Rooms for sometime and with a friend visiting from down South I thought what an excellent opportunity it would be to try the place at long last. I had heard/read mixed reviews about The Tea Rooms being from brilliant to rubbish so I was hoping the bad reviews were just one-offs and bad days but unfortunately after our visit I am sad to report that we were either unlucky this day or the place isn't as brilliant as we expected it to be... I had booked a table after hearing this place can get busy. It was for 3pm & I arrived about 10/15mins early which I thought wouldn't pose a problem but upon arriving I was informed our table wasn't 'ready' yet but I could sit downstairs in the bar & they would call me when it was ready. This was fine - I liked that they give you the option to have a seat downstairs whilst you wait so, being the kinda gal that thinks it's just plain rude to sit in a bar & not order anything I ordered a wee half pint of Addlestone's cider - very lovely it was too. Luckily it wasn't too busy downstairs so I nabbed a wee cosy seat by the winding stairs that lead to The Tea Rooms. I was just settling in, enjoying the cool vintage decor of The Butterfly & The Pig bar, supping my cider when a lady said 'That's your table ready!' Wow. Times flies when you're in this place! Now if I was rating The Tea Rooms on style & decor I would give it 4 stars (minus 1 star for the big, out of place TV on the wall, ruining the homely, vintage feel of the place) as I loved the retro, mismatched furniture & vintage crockery - so quaint and just brilliant in a tearoom setting. Our table was at the window & was nice & big too - I think there must've been a mistake with the booking as they laid out 3 places so I had to inform them it was only for 2 people, so maybe this was why we were given the large, window table. Either way I was happy coz it was a lovely table. So far so good... My friend happened to be about 10 minutes or so late & when the waitress came over to take our order (I was given menus as soon as I was seated) and we told her we were both having the Afternoon Tea she proceeded to explain that they would need the table back by 4:15pm as they had another booking...fair enough if this had been some sort of lunchtime voucher deal we were having but we were 2 full paying customers who had ordered the Afternoon Tea - which is a sort of 3-course event in itself - so the thought of being made to rush it was a bit rubbish. We were both not happy about this but apparently it does state this on their website when you book a table. I must've not seen that... The teas & tray arrived and it looked impressive at first glance but a few things we were both displeased about - *The tea was just a teabag in a pot...not real tea as I expected. Bah. *We weren't asked what sandwiches we would prefer (like others had said they had) & when they came we only had 2 choices - tuna mayo and chicken & bacon mayo. The sandwiches were also a bit too big; I had expected more dainty, wee sandwiches but these were rather doorstop-like. *The bread on the sandwiches was quite dry & seemed a bit stale...I get the impression they had been made (much) earlier in the day and left uncovered as even if they had been covered they shouldn't have been as dry/stale as they seemed... *The scones were pre-filled with jam and some sort-of cream, but it was not real, whipped or clotted cream - it was far too sweet & runny. Not everyone likes jam & cream on their scone. Luckily I do but even then the amount of jam & (fake) cream was way too much for me. *We also weren't given a choice of cakes - they had many sitting on a table nearby that all looked amazing but when ours came on the tray only one resembled anything like one of the cakes on the table. We cut them all in half so we could both try them all but I am sad to say they all kinda tasted the same! The toppings were all nice - a cream cheese style which I love - but the actual cakes just tasted of not much really. Quite strange... The highlight & the part of the whole Afternoon Tea I enjoyed the most was the smoked salmon & cream cheese oatcake - that was lovely and also a nice addition. But apart from that it was a rather disappointing Afternoon Tea all in all. We ended up getting to stay a bit longer in our table (which was just as well as we hadn't really finished by 4:15pm) as The Tea Rooms died down a lot after 4pm. It was nice they let us stay on so we asked for some (free) tea refills but unfortunately all they done was added more hot water to what were now 2 very sooked-of-all-life teabags! So both our teas resembled urine! Lovely. Surely another 2 teabags wouldn't have broke the bank?! Oh dear. As much as I loved the surroundings & the staff were nice. I don't think I will be rushing back; certainly not for an Afternoon Tea that's for sure. I am hoping we maybe just hit a 'bad day read more

I know I wrote a 2 star review for the Butterfly and Pig not long ago, so seeing as this place is owned by the same folks, and they share a kitchen, I really should have known better! However my friend and I went for the afternoon tea here last weekend. Our friends had put some amazing-looking photos up on Facebook of the cake selection so we thought we'd give it a go. Yuk! The afternoon tea has all the usuals you'd expect - sandwiches, scones, and cake. It looked nice enough, but the bread used on the sandwiches was stale, and they had used the horrible brown-grey leftover bits of smoked salmon that nobody would ever want to eat. I couldn't even cut through it with my knife. Ewww. We weren't asked if we wanted a refill of tea at any point, despite being there for an hour or so. So we left and went elsewhere, after paying our £12 per head for practically nothing edible. read more

This had great reviews so we decided on this for a little celebratory meal on a weekend in my beloved Glasgow. We popped into book in the morning and as I half expected, the reservation list was huge. However, we managed to book a table for 2 if we didn't mind sitting 'upstairs' -- not sure why we would?! When we got there, a few minutes late after trying to stay dry from torrential rain that arrived half hour before the forecast (I don't just throw these things together) and upstairs was actually pretty empty, just one other table occupied, which seemed odd. Anyway, we ordered afternoon tea but weren't offered the bubbly option and we forgot to mention (no up-selling here!) so chased after our waiter to order that too. We're celebrating! The spread arrived looking gorgeous although not as traditional as I am used to. There are huge sandwiches (and tomato with everything just so you know!) big and light scones with lashings of jam and oat cakes with fresh salmon . All wonderfully Scottish! Our coffee (which came a little too soon after our bubbly is served) came in wonderfully quaint cups, what I call old but others call vintage, but there was no mention if this was unlimited as the tea would be (it is) and also I wasn't sure why our waiter put everything on the edge of the table rather than coming round behind us and placing cups etc. in the correct table setting. All in all, good 'Tea' experience and I totally get why people - especially tourists - love it but I've had better. read more

This is my kind of place. I do like a good cup of tea, and I was drawn in by the china, tablecloths and warm lighting through the window. When we went in, we were seated at a beautifully laid table and served with a jug of iced water as standard, which I loved. The menu is simple and effective, offering some breakfast and brunch options, such as scrambled egg on toast (cooked to perfection, by the way), or poached egg on toast with crispy bacon. There is also a selection of delicious cakes on cake stands around the room, and you can have a cream tea for two for only £7.50. We went for the cream tea, which consisted of a big pot of tea that could have served four, two warm fruit scones and a generous portion of fresh cream and raspberry jam. We cleared our plates and my boyfriend was pleased that amongst the kitsch and pretty surroundings, there was a great big plasma screen on the wall for him to watch sky sports. I love everything about this place, from its Grand Central Station style clock and lighting, to the subtle touches such as the hat boxes and brass candlesticks. When we were given our bill, we were each given a small square of brownie, which was a nice touch and enough to tempt us back. read more

Im a bit late to the table with this one but ah well! Went for afternoon tea on sunday and it was fab. For £11 each we got a mountain of sandwiches, crisps and some oatcakes and loads of cakes with enough tea for 3 cups each. The cakes were insanely good and we were offered to take away with us what we didnt eat, which was shamefully a fair few of them! Next time you have mother/ gran/ aunt/ whoever in tow, take them. They will love it. read more

Quirky and quaint. Love the mismatched furniture and crockery. The afternoon tea was delicious. We were asked if there was anything we didn't like (first time I've ever been offered a choice for afternoon tea).

We struggled to finish but the staff gave us boxes to take the cakes we had left away with us. read more

I love a good afternoon tea, so I was thrilled when I found this. I adore the decor: old fashioned, mismatched cups/saucers and side plates with pretty lace trimmed white table cloths. I just love it. The perfect accompaniment to afternoon tea. The afternoon tea itself was just the right size if you order 1 between 2. There were 4 little sandwiches all with a different filling, an oatcake with smoked salmon and 3 little cakes. All of this came with tea to share. You can order with prosseco for an extra couple of pound. Some people get one each but that's really your call depending on your hunger levels. I've also been and ordered off the normal menu and had an open sandwich with roast veg, pesto and mozzarella. I'm no veggie but I LOVE pesto so this was a must. It was huge. I didn't finish it all but that left room for a cake to share, which was also huge. The size was not to compensate for quality because it was really very good. I'd reccomend for a cute little afternoon tea or lunch. Lovely! read more

It was the morning after the night before and we were on the hunt for an all day breakfast. This was a lovely setting to have a hangover in. Like a warm and peaceful old home with acoustics that make the staff peacefully waft by as if they were wearing soft leather shoes. Aaaah. The chap at the door could only sit us in the hall as it gets pretty busy at weekends with groups having afternoon tea and lunches, although, with such a calm environment, you wouldn't know it. We were fine with that- they've made it look more like another room than a hall. I had a peak in the adjoining room to check out the amazing array of cakes and also noticed it was showing a Rat Pack film on the telly. Perfect for a Sunday afternoon. The breakfast choices were good and included kippers, scrambled eggs and French toast. I chose the poached egg and bacon on toast with the extras: tomato, mushroom and black pudding. It was really tasty. I was given two rounds of toast and two poached eggs, which was a nice surprise. The bacon was good quality and the extras were cooked just to my taste. I think that there was a cinnamon taste in it somewhere, perhaps in the black pudding, which wasn't offensive, it just didn't make it any better. My other half had a sausage sandwich, which was actually a big white bap with two slices of Lorne. He loved it. All I would say was that, although I love it when the drinks come at the same time as the meal, we had to wait a while for the meal so we got a bit fed up waiting for something, anything to arrive. read more

I brought my parents here for breakfast today (the two are elderly citizens). I'd say that it's a pretty good place for an early morning cup of tea, pancakes and cake!

Favorite tea room in Glasgow. I like that this place does not try to be one of those trendy tea rooms with the glitz and swag. Its a proper tea room with delicious food, attractive china, warm service, and tasteful design. Cakes are all round delectable and appropriately displayed on a push cart permanently stationed off to the side. Unlike other old school tea rooms where cakes and sweets wantonly lay about unprotected, this place suitably covers and refrigerates all the cakes on display. Respect to food hygiene. Two tall Victorian styled windows breathe gay daylight warmth into the room's decor, which I am especially fond of for its placement. Beautiful trinkets embellish the wall of lively yet softened hue of green. This room, I have a hard time leaving. As for the food, well I would be happy making this spot my permanent weekly brunch. The eggs royale is divine. The sandwiches better than good. I like to come here for high tea when I can, and the tri tier of teacakes and tea sandwiches galore are hard to be beat. read more

The second I clocked eyes on this place, I fell in love. I was a fan of The Butterfly and Pig originally, but the sticky enviroment of a bar always sullied the experience of an old fashioned ladies dining room somewhat. The Tea Rooms keeps up the class though - but in an appealingly modest way Get in here for an afternoon tea for a tenner (expensive I know, but it's pretty comprehesive and will last you over dinner as well - ask to take the leftovers home with you!) or tea and a scone for £4. Sure, it's a little expensive, but you're also paying for the experience, not just all the delicious homemade food. The sour cucumber is an absolute winner!! read more

Eccentric service, good use of the corridor space and very good vfm made for a great first visit here last weekend. Having previously eaten in the basement space of the same building the Tea Rooms' quirkiness was a welcome change to the more everyday aspects of dining out. Definitely one to go back to. read more

Had afternoon tea here today. Although the food and cakes were good, I felt it could be a little bit better.. We had a range of three different cakes that were just okay and scones with jam and cream with fresh strawberries. I did enjoy the scones! The sandwiches brought to us were egg and there was some sort of ham sandwich also. The sandwiches were good but the bread was a little dry, but still good. I think if the bread was a little less dry and the cakes were a little better then I would go up to 4 stars! read more

We are in town as tourists and we're hoping to have tea before 10am as we embarked on our day. We stumbled upon this wonderful establishment! Beautiful interior and the drinks/food are incredible.

Highly recommend this place! read more

Fantastic find. My family was with us on a cruise thru the British Isles with stops all over the place but no one really had any ideas for Glasgow. I suggested going full UK and finding a real tea shop to dine in and lounge about lazily for an afternoon and the fam went for it! I of course yelped it and this place had a great atmosphere in photos as well as a fine selection of teas and cakes. We dragged the Fam onto this adventure and it was not a disappointment. Greeted at the entrance by a friendly young lass on the stoop of what in the olden days was probably a family's grand old townhouse type of a building. She led us inside the old foyer. I called ahead to see if there would be room for a large party of us (only 6 really) but wanted to make sure. She guided us through all the choices on the menu with the most fantastic language and accent. we could all have sat and listened to her for days just talk! There was a display case of cakes just near the window seat booth where we were seated and we all began immediately to drool and delight in what awaited us. It was in no way a disappointment and we even had leftovers to take back to the boat. Everything we had was fresh and delicious and they had all these new teas I'd never been exposed to. My favorite find was the tea my boyfriends mother ordered. We all stuck up our noses cause it sounded gross but the flavor was a revolution in my mouth! The flavor is licorice and peppermint. Its so sweet with no sugar added. Each room in this lovely place is decorated with china and lovely little things everywhere. I snuck upstairs to see a group of ladies enjoying tea holding a meeting of some sort. The place also seemed to fill up with locals around lunchtime which was fun and interesting to see. All in all it was the exact experience I had hoped for and I hope to return one day! read more

Came here to meet a fellow blogger in the flesh for the first time and it proved to be the perfect spot for it. I was looking for cosy, quirky, tea, coffee and cake and The Tea Rooms rocked on all of the above. I didn't get the chance to take any snaps but the decor is like a 1940s/50s high end tea salon complete with cups, saucers, dinky ornaments and other curiosities adorning the walls. The cakes were delivered in huge slices and were very much of the comforting home made granny variety. The only slightly surprising element was that tea was served in pots, yet with tea bags. I was ok with that but given the name of the establishment I was kinda expecting loose leaf speciality blends to be on offer. Upstairs from the butterfly and pig pub, I'm keen to return to either or to sample a meal as the menus looked excellent with something for everyone on offer. read more

We visited the Tearooms on a Saturday lunchtime for the 14.50 High Tea and a glass of Prosecco. High Tea was of a good standard, with the usual sandwich, scone and cake tiers. Portions were generous and the scone and cake very tasty,however there were only two types of sandwich in the High Tea. The shabby chic decor and mismatched vintage plates, saucers and cups could make this the perfect place for an a gloriously grannyish high tea. The service was friendly and warm. However we were not seated in the main room of the Tearooms, instead we were seated in the hallway. Unfortunately this hallway was used as a thoroughfare for a band removing their equipment from the bar underneath the Tearooms. The band had allot of heavy equipment to move through a very small space between tables. It was evident that the band were embarrassed by this. For some this would add to the bohemian feel of the tearooms, and its downstairs neighbours, the Pig and Butterfly. The Tearooms are very popular, and hip, with a late teens, early 20s crowd. However in short, I found a table in a cold and draughty hallway used as access for the rest of building to be pretty poor. read more

The Butterfly and The Pig restaurant menu is already written in an a whimsical dainty style full of "Mr Troutie woutie" salads so opening an classic British tea room seems like a natural step for the owners. Situated directly above the bar, The Tea Room serves tea, scones and other delicious cakes on china floral cups and lace doilies. Copies of "Country Living" are scattered around on the patterned cushions, letting customers pretend they just hopped off their landrover and are planning to spend the afternoon tramping around the farm in their Hunter wellingtons with the daschunds. But this is Bath Street and the flat screen tv on the wall, which was showing Sky Sports News when we visited, is a reminder that Glaswegian visitors are more interested in the Old Firm than Kippen's Women's Rural Institute. It is fun to pretend however. A lunch menu is also available. read more

My partner and I went to the Tea Rooms on a busy Saturday afternoon. We phoned an hour beforehand to ask whether we could be seated near the window, and to tell them we were vegetarian. We were told it was fine, and that 'a selection' of vegetarian fillings would be available. When we arrived, all the seats near the window were taken, and we were seated at a big table. The music was too loud, we changed seats, and it was not a good start. We previously went to this place, the service was fine but the food was average.This time, the service was bad, and we didn't even taste the food. The waitress told us we could only have one filling each, which is surprising as they said on the phone a selection would be available, although there might have been a misunderstanding. However, I had afternoon tea before, and from what I remember there are at least four fillings on the tray. We then asked what cakes were available, but the waitress did not know. When we asked her to enquire at the kitchen, she answered rudely that it was not possible. She was not very pleasant. We ordered one filling each, and could not know what cakes were available. No scones. My partner then went to see the manager about the fillings, as we weren't happy. I told her about my previous experience of afternoon tea with more sandwiches, and she said 'it's not possible, if you think about it, because you have to cut it'. I don't like being told I'm a liar, even if it is implied. We decided to leave and go to costa coffee. Despite excellent reviews, the tea rooms are not matching our expectations. We will not go back. read more
