A family run, very popular, place, Crema has a great range of food. From paninis (heaven is full of their chicken pesto paninis) to homemade bakes and cakes, hearty soups and a nice line of caffeine based beverages, I spent many a Saturday/Sunday morning brunching here. There are more seats upstairs, and whilst the decor is pretty bog standard, check out the amazing photographs on the walls, amazing portraits in black and white. Price wise it is about average, although the temptation of cake always meant our bill was a little high for a brunch but hey, what's life about if not treating yourself?!! I'd recommend Crema if you are in Hamilton town centre (or even down at the Asda, it's not much of a walk) for any reason. Good food, friendly helpful staff, for a good price. If you are lucky you can chat to the owner(s) and see just how passionate they are about sourcing local produce as well, an excellent sign!

Food comprises snacks with toasties and other light snacks being heated on the premises on order. Coffee is smooth and enjoyable with no bitter aftertaste. Staff are usually too busy to do much more than take orders, prep food and take money. It is rather cramped especially when several people are waiting for their take away orders, but places worth recommending are usually very popular and this is no exception.

What a quaint wee find, located in the heart of Blantyre?! Opposite from the Police station, next…read moreto the dentist and opposite a primary school and the health centre. 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?!

My favourite is the steak bake and the sausage roll, but they sell rolls, pies, cakes, potato scones etc, in fact, almost any kind of bakery goods that you could imagine. They also sell tea, coffee and soup. They bake a lot of the goods on the premises and make up sandwiches etc. The shop is spotless and the staff are friendly and helpful. It can get very busy so it is better to get there as early as you can. There is never anything left by early afternoon, because it is so reasonably priced.

Popped in D'Nisi yesterday for a bit of lunch after a recommendation from the lovely Fiona! We were…read moreincredibly lucky to get a table when we went in, as it was absolutely mobbed with grannies and their grandchildren! Unfortunately the only table we could get was right next to the door, meaning we got a horrible draft every time someone came in or went out, brrr. The menu in there is a bit limited, as it is just a cafe, but they do have a licence, so beers, wines and ales are all available too. Colin and I ordered the Parma ham bruschetta sharing platter to start, then I had the chicken and bacon club panini and Colin had a chicken and chorizo stew. The food came very fast, which was great, and was lovely! I wasn't a big fan of the bruschetta, it was awfully dry as no olive oil was used, and it wasn't seasoned either, so it was a bit bland. The panini was lovely, and I had a wee bit of Colin's stew which was glorious! We ordered a couple of their berry frappes which came in huge American diner-style milkshake glasses and were delicious! I think I would rather go here on a slightly quieter afternoon so I could sit up next to the huge fireplace, but I did enjoy it and will be popping in from time to time!

It's a great little place, would sit happily in somewhere... I dunno... less Hamilton-y than Hamilton? I'm rambling. The coffee is really good - my latte is always just the right side of warm, but not to hot; the hot chocolate is incredible (a cup of hot milk with CHOCOLATE ON A STICK to mix to your own taste) and even my non milk drinking better half was satisfied with a soy milk cappuccino. I even dabbled with the apple pie and cream in the past - and it was also very good. I do believe the food may be a bit high priced, but when it's that good, it is worth it, trust me. They have a selection of toys for me... erm... the kids to play with, comfy seats, nice but not overdone decor, the staff are helpful and pleasant. It's a good place. You'll like it.

My only (tiny) negative is that I find it hard to read the menu which is on the wall behind and to the right of the counter so you have to almost lean over the counter to read it.

Huge roll with a tiny burger in it and packed full of steamed onions. It might not sound too appealing but it takes me back to my childhood when this seemed like a great treat all washed down with cheap cola topped up with ice cream. Seats are hard wooden type bench type and lights are bright orange plastic shades which omit hardly any light. An experience to be tried at least once if you are in Airdrie.
