Today marked the first birthday of the Bluebell Tearoom and since I'd wanted to visit for a long…read moretime, there was no better time than the present. Why, hello there, Bluebell Tearoom! Birthday banners, complimentary birthday tablet and an afternoon tea raffle for every customer. And of course, the perfect excuse for cake. We are in just the right place for it, after all. Crisp and white and fresh like a beautiful spring day, the tearoom is cute and cosey and the welcome warm. Whilst small in size, there are certainly a good amount of seats and despite arriving slap-bang in the middle of lunchtime, we were able to get a table for two. The first thing that caught my eye was the crockery. We had some dainty little matching cups, bowls, saucers. And there were some more pretty selections displayed on the walls. Tea is always served best in a magnificent teacup. The bluebell are testament to this. It certainly is a the perfect spot for tea and cake! I had Cock-a-Leekie soup which was delicious, wholesome, warming. - The perfect prelude to the main event. Oh boy, did we have trouble choosing a cake from the selection. Despite it being the Bluebell's super special first birthday, you will always find such a plentiful selection of cake, including plenty of gluten free selections and it really was a delight to hear about just how many cakes and gluten free options they prepare daily. Today, there was Lemon and Coconut, Cranberry and Orange, Carrot...Would we like to have a peek at the selection? Oh, mama! Now we're talking. They look delightful. Every single one of them. After far too much time spent making a decision, I go for the Lemon and Coconut. My friend and I do a swap (always the best thing to do in these situations!) and I get to have a nibble of his slice of the Cranberry and Orange. Mmmm. They're both so light and with just the right amount of sweetness. I genuinely can't make up my mind which I liked best. Just perfect with the Japanese cherry green tea I had to accompany the afternoon sugar fix. If you asked me where to go for tea and cake in Stirling a few days ago, I might have told you to just hop on the train to Glasgow. That would have been silly of me. And I hope you didn't listen. - Do go to the Bluebell Tearoom. And take me with you!

The Bluebell tearoom is always our first port of call when we visit Stirling and often our last as…read morewell. Wonderful home baked cakes, great dry cured bacon and scotch pancakes, daily roast sandwiches made with honey and oat bread and served with gravy. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant food! The only thing better than the food here is the service. Lisa treats her customers as though they were family and you won't find a warmer welcome anywhere in Scotland. Fantastic! Highly recommended.

I was on a trip to the wonderful city of Glasgow from the US with my mom. We went to the quaint…read moreHidden Lane Tearoom our first day in to unwind and enjoy delicious treats. First you go down an alley, only to reveal a secret enclave of an antique store, corner shop, and the tearoom. The square itself is fun to explore and great for photos. Once we sat down in the charming tearoom, we were greeted by a friendly and accommodating server. We ordered the afternoon tea. There was a perfect balance of sweet and savory with yummy finger sandwiches and delectable scones with clotted cream and jam. This is a lovely afternoon tea spot for all ages!

Honestly I could rave about this place. I just love afternoon tea to begin with so there's that,…read morebut honestly I feel like the teas were just SO lovely. I had their house chai and their London fog, both of which were creamy and SO flavorful and served in the loveliest teapots. 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!

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!

Wonderful that the Trust has reopened this remarkable place. It's simply lovely inside. Food we…read morehad, some off the menu and some afternoon tea spread, was all delicious. Service was friendly and attentive. And my what's tea selection! Try the Black Forest Gateau.
