The Willow Tea Rooms

This was an amazing and unique experience to see the famous architect Macintosh ‘s work in real life and have a dinning experience as well. The tea was Sooooo… good. You got to get cloud nine!! This was really well done and vary infinitive. I love how one can see Macintosh’s wonderful influences in the modern design movement and I think everyone should experience this!! What a cool piece of history.

Exemplary service, beverages, and food. I love that they have soymilk and other nondairy options too. I’d love to know where I can buy the chocolate used in the hot chocolate, because that was hands-down the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had! It was so dark and rich but not bitter! Loved the flavor profile! Excellent tea-selection. Great gift shop and location! Hope I can come back someday :-.

i had a traditional afternoon tea experience here and i loved it! the price is quite affordable and i really love the scone. the sandwiches and the dessert is very good too and i love the tea. the ambience is lovely and i will definitely come back if i go to glasgow again.

We went for afternoon tea for our wedding anniversary. We booked online, which was easy to do. The service was all very swift and efficient. The loose leaf breakfast tea was delicious and there was plenty of it. We had a vegetarian afternoon tea and the variety of sandwiches was really nice. We had the lemon meringue pie and carrot cake as our choice of cake with the tea and both were delicious. Will definitely come again.

Arrived and seated very quickly, loved the Renée Mackintosh styled chairs. It took a long time for our orders to be taken, our food to be served and for our bill to be given to us. During our stay, two of the waitresses were very rude towards us but spoke politely to others around us. The man who took our order was very polite and the food was delicious. When asking for anything from those who were serving, we were polite and so would expect the same in return but did not receive it.

Delicious breakfast! Full Scottish and fresh tea for £10. Most places I looked at were a bit more and did not include tea so this was a great deal. The food was cooked well and tasted excellent and the tea was oh so satisfying. I'll have to come back and sample more of the menu. It gets quite busy so a reservation is a good idea, though I was lucky and came before the rush so was seated immediately without one. Good place to bring the parents/family.

Great bargain! The Savoury Afternoon tea is really good: the cheese scone and savoury treats are really tasty! The traditional Afternoon tea is really nice too and quite plentiful even though the sweet scone was a little stale to my taste! Sorry I don’t want to be mean or anything but that’s how I felt it! The service was really great though and the waitresses were lovely and welcoming! Highly recommended!

Service is slow/lack luster and not cognizant. Who puts the tea filter below the holder straight onto the table?? That’s just unsanitary. The service is only fast in delivery once items are ordered. Tea is ok at best. The sandwiches are really good so they’re actually the star of the tea. The scones are baked decently but the clotted cream leaves something to be desired. The desserts/cakes aren’t that great either. Overall a cute spot but just not good. Also the fact they call upstairs a “Chinese tea room” shows not a single one of them has ever been to a Chinese tea house or really even examined Chinese interiors… The ignorance there is ridiculous.

I headed to the Buchanan Street Tea Room for an early breakfast. Incredibly friendly service, a stunning setting and a tasting vegetarian breakfast to get the day started. The veggie haggis was super as was the potato scone. And excellent value.

A lovely place to enjoy afternoon tea. Prefixe high tea is £15per person and includes finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam, a cookie and a slice of cake per person. The hostess was very attentive and was able to accommodate our seating request. Our wait staff person was so sweet, patient and knowledgeable on all menu items we had questions about. They also have higher priced high teas. Reservations highly recommended, though they will take walk ins if tables are available. Stairs only, no lifts.
