    My friend introduced me to this wee hidden treasue last week. Tea House of the Loch is nestled…read morebeside the Loch at Gartcosh, with the quaint little tea house overlooking the water. Saturdays are really busy so was glad I decided last minute to book a table. The menu is filled with sandwiches, bagels, paninis etc and all come with soup for £5.95 which is a bargain when you see the portions. However the most popular order seemed to be the high tea for two, which at £5 per person is amazing! The atmosphere is lovely, with a mix of couple, familes and quite a few grannies being treated to tea and cakes by their grandkids. The decor is nothing fancy, but the setting and welcoming staff easily makes up for it There is fabulous selection of Suki teas and homemade baking. Soups of the day this week were tomato with basil and potato and leek. Last wee I tried the curried butternut squash which was amazing! The setting is lovely and the food is well worth the 15min drive from Dennistoun. There is a garden centre and lovely views onto the loch so you could easily spend a few hours over a coffee, chatting and escaping city life. I can't speak highly enough of this place and look forward to making myself a regular! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tea-House-On-The-Loch/141357772588944?fref=ts

    My first meal in Scotland and Glencoe Cafe came thru. Situated in a small town off of A82, this…read morecafe, pub, pizzeria, and restaurant has lots of vegetarian options on the menu. While they were out of many of them during our trip, we still thoroughly enjoyed the ones we had. The vegetarian haggis was surprisingly delicious. Having never tasted traditional haggis, this is not a comparison. We enjoyed the flavor and the consistency was a bit crumbly without being too mushy. The vegetarian pizza was solid, although a few too many vegetables included for my personal taste (I prefer pizza with two to three items). And the standard margherita pizza was a winner. The staff was friendly and the view from the deck was nice. If you're looking for a cute lunch stop tucked into the southern edge of the Highlands, Glencoe Cafe is a nice option as you travel through the rolling hills of Scotland.

    This charming and cozy little spot seems to be a bit of a social hive in tiny Glencoe. Some would…read morecall it "cramped" rather than "cozy"--the quarters are pretty tight. Given its diminutive size, the cafe has a relatively long menu of panini and other sandwiches, soups, salads, and desserts, with a sharp focus on tea service. Went with a chicken tikka panini, little salad, and darjeeling. It made for a nice lunch stop. Friendly service, as was the case virtually without exception the whole time were in Scotland. In the Glencoe Cafe's mashed-together seating, we U.S. residents of Ohio ended up being surrounded by Michigan folks who were talking about Big 10 football, including a young couple who, as is apparently contractually or maybe even genetically required of almost all U.S. millennials, order all restaurant food by stating which items they want to "do." "Home sweet home," Jeebus. Finally, here's a piece of advice: If you're driving from Edinburgh to the Glen Coe area like we were, and you're thinking about stopping for lunch on the way, consider that once you pass Stirling and a couple of smaller towns just beyond there, dining options are few and far between in this magical area. Although already hungry, we passed up a couple of sketchy-looking (and thronged) tourist cafes on the A82 about an hour before we got to Glencoe, but were glad we did.

    This place has EXCELLENT coffee. I popped in about 20 minutes before closing and was met by a kind…read morestaff who made me a coffee without hesitation. It was a rainy day: drizzling : that consistency of rain that makes you feel a bit run down. I was met with the most delicious, warming coffee: a very smooth latte, that had such a lovely taste that there was no need for a drop of sugar. They were out of most of their pastries by the time I sat in--due to their popularity, I have no doubt. I chose one of their remaining items: a small cake that had a touch of lemon and a raspberry on top of a creamy frosting. It was delicious--a welcomed treat when I felt in need of a pick me up. I did not have a chance to test their food so am unable to comment. Do note however: This is a VERY small place. Cozy to be sure, but small and by no means for larger groups. It is ideal for the soloist and duos to come in and have a fairly quick coffee, cake, and food (I assume). This is NOT a place to study. There are no comfortable lounge chairs, chairs or tables. The seating is composed of stools that reside at two bars. It's kind of reminding me of Italian style cafes where you drink your espresso at the bar, across from the barista who just served it to you (though in Rome, they don't offer you stools even!). Given the level of their coffee and cake, I'll be back again soon.

There are no bathrooms which is a downfall but it was close enough to our hotel. I got the chorizo bagel both days I went and a latte. They have display cases of baked goods and sandwiches. When I ordered, the toasted it. It was filling and had a spicy kick in it. Very good! The bagel was crispy and good too!

We grabbed a few for a lunch later in the day along with a pair of pastries, and some coffee. We ate the pastries in their tearoom and the sandwiches a few hours later on the road. Both were a-maz-ing. The sandwiches were made fresh, stayed great until we got to the later in the day, and were portioned well. I kind of want to go back to get another few sandwiches, but sadly I've left Scotland and am back in the states (and my routine work-life). If you are in the area or plan to be, plan to work in a stop. Enjoy!

It was about 9 am and already quite busy, it seemed like everybody who was on the way to Isle of Skye or Glencoe was stopping here. They are known for good sandwiches so we got 2 different ones to try. Both sandwiches came with a purple color coleslaw that was good but we found all the coleslaw in Scotland had too much mayo for our preference. Pastrami with Swiss sandwich: Proper pastrami that is a nice pink with black crust from the nitrates and smoking process. Plenty of cheese and meat but it was very large, had to save half for later or I wouldn't have been able to drive. Turkey sandwich: with pickles and white cheddar, they had some kind of mayo spread that was good. This was surprisingly tasty and we ended up eating more than the kids. If you go down the alley on the side you can eat at a little lake in the back. There's a hill with Worden steps you can climb and from the top you can see a small, old cemetery. They had a wide assortment of country loaves for sale as well!

The home baking is very nice and we enjoyed coffee and cakes on more than one occasion recently! I would say that it's rather expensive though. There are plenty of places to sit inside and a few tables and chairs outside by the water where you can sit and watch boats passing through the locks. You can buy postcards and a few books too - and even the Avon So Soft midge repellent which is needed by so many in the West of Scotland (fortunately I am never bitten!)

It's located on the edge of the canal basin at the north end of the Crinan canal, just down from the hotel, (which does excellent if pricey high teas), with windows looking out over the water. Throughout the cafe on the walls are scattered local artists works, mostly for sale and in a room to one end is more work around the walls, mostly with guide prices beside them. There is also a selection of old boat engines and pumps on the floor for you to have a look at. We had some of the homemade cake and scones, which were all lovely, my usual drink of coke and the folks had tea and coffee. Prices reasonable and staff helpful if you wanted to know anything.
