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?!

The cakes and biscuits are yummy, of course, and you can sit in here and have a cup of tea with your cake, which is ideal. What's better than cake and tea? Not much, I imagine. The shop itself is a little outdated, but perhaps part of the charm. The windows promise a shop full of cool retro trinkets and memorabilia, but it's a bit disappointing if I'm honest. Very 80's, but in a more dusty way than funky.

I've been to the Glasgow Tea Rooms a few times for afternoon tea and I've always had a lovely…read moreexperience. For the very reasonable £14.95, the afternoon tea is made up of your choice of English/Scottish loose tea, two rounds of sandwiches (e.g. cheese and tomato, tuna and sweetcorn, ham and tomato, egg mayonnaise), scones with cream and jam, and a selection of cakes. The staff are absolutely lovely - run by a family, it's lovely and unique to be seated by a granny, then have her grandson bring over your order, then pay the auntie! The staff have always been so lovely to speak to as well - chatty, friendly and cheerful, giving the Glasgow Tea Rooms a more 'friendly local' vibe than other similar tea rooms and restaurants in the Merchant City area. The afternoon tea is a generous size - every time I've visited I've had to take away at least a few of the cakes in a box because me and my friends simply couldn't manage them at the time! It's not a problem at all to take away some of the food if you've not managed to eat it all, with the staff usually suggesting it before you even have to ask. Everything is home made and fresh, which means you can ask for a slight change in sandwich toppings if you fancy (e.g. I always have cheese sandwiches with no tomato) and - if you're lucky enough to time it right like I was last time - you can tuck in to scones warm from the oven. The Glasgow Tea Rooms does get busy, so, especially if you're popping in over the weekend, I recommend booking a table. The last time I visited every table was full so the staff were really busy which meant there was a bit of a delay between finishing our pot of tea and having a fresh one brought to the table - if you're happy with a short wait then pop in any time, otherwise I'd avoid Saturday and Sunday lunch times! A lovely homely venue in the city centre - I've already been a handful of times and would definitely visit again!

They are very nice and will have a chat with you as they serve teas, coffees or their great selection of cakes and goodies. They serve amazing afternoon tea on vintage china, it is a great idea for taking out mum or grandma. They have a three tier cake stand; sandwiches on the bottom, scones with jam and cream then cakes on top. They play Sinatra on the speakers and the carpet is just like your grandma used to have, it has a really homely feel. There is a massive painting on one wall of various Glasgow attractions which really makes it feel Glaswegian and authentic. I can't say how good this place is enough, I have been a few times now and enjoyed it every time, the family made me feel very welcome and I'm proud to take my family and friends there.

I selected the Classic Afternoon Tea - including a choice of cake from the daily selections. I selected the strawberry tart and brought it back to my hotel to eat later. For my tea, I went for the berry selection which was a loose leaf tea. They also provided a second fresh pot that was equally delicious! Service was fantastic. A great high tea experience in Glasgow!

We went on a day when it closed at 5pm and we arrived at 3:10. On the board in front of the restaurant, it also mentioned they stopped serving food at 4:30. After getting through the door, the hostess told us we couldn't get food as it stopped at 3pm. We mentioned the sign in front that says otherwise. She didn't apologize at all and repeated that no, it's 3pm. She didn't explain why or if this was unusual. I don't usually give bad reviews when I haven't even tried the food, but we truly got the feeling that they didn't want us in the restaurant (possibly because we are both heavily tattooed?)... quite disappointing and honestly made us feel awful.

Anyhow, I recall her excitement at finding this place a while back but never having been in. I took it upon myself to do all the work and pick her up some chocolates for a mini-celebration. They might have been better than the ones I have just worked through from Marks and Spencers I got from Christmas, and were certainly better than Thorntons. Everything in Thorntons sort of tastes the same, in the same way everything in McDonalds also tastes the same. The staff were friendly and chatty and more or less done the work on my behalf to be fair with regards to buying the chocolates, all I done was actually pay for them. Didn't pay as much as I was prepared to either so I treated myself to a cup of coffee, which was also above average. I am a romantic man. Who knows how to treat himself as well.
