Abbeygreen Cafe in South Lanarkshire

My husband and I visited the Abbeygreen Cafe today for lunch enroute from Elgin to Warwickshire. It is ideally situated just off the M74 motorway. We had a warm welcome from the friendly staff and the food, drink and service were excellent. Prices were very reasonable . We would highly recommend. !

Cafe was great when first opened however multiple visits since have been very disappointing. Food has been basic, greasy and tasted shop bought. Cakes stale and inedible. The last time I had a chicken tikka sandwich and chicken rice soup - the ‘sandwich’ tasted like Tesco sandwich filler slapped between two pieces of bread and the soup had an oily residue floating on top. Thought a slice of Victoria sponge would rectify it but it was dry and tasted days old. Not at all what I would hope for from a local cafe claiming to sell home made produce.

Went to this cafe for the first time today not the last staff very friendly and helpful was there with my mum and wife and dog nothing was too much trouble as it was my mums 89th birthday she stays in the nursing home across the road she enjoyed her brunch she also got a free cake as it was her birthday she was very happy it was generous of the cafe thanks very much for making my mums day will be back

Wanted to stop somewhere off the M74 for lunch that was nicer than a service station on our journey home from England, and this was way beyond our expectations. Couldn't have asked for better service - everyone we spoke to was incredibly helpful and friendly. My husband raved about his freshly made soup and enormous sandwich and I had a cheese and mushroom omelette which was one of the nicest (and biggest!) I've ever had. Couldn't finish it so took it home and shared the leftovers just now for lunch with my husband. Very dog friendly too - Poppy loved the sausage they brought out for her! Oh - and husband was miserable about the cost of food down south and was ecstatic that this lunch was much cheaper (and nicer) than most of the food we'd had during our week away! To top it off, parking at the local park was free so the dog got a bit of a run around too. Will definitely be back here whenever we're making that journey again.

...La Coupole in Paris has got a real rival for fresh salads and signature toasties and cappucinno (with cinnamon) in The Abbey Green Cafe in Lesmahagow: first class, thanks.

We made an impromptu visit and what a pleasant surprise. Nice clean decor, good friendly service, complimented by very tasty food. It may be a young establishment in the grand scheme, but we wish it all the success. Oh, and the loo was spotless. A big thumbs up from a picky hard to please Baz.

Stopped off here for breakfast on way up to Aberdeen. Lovely local spot. Food was delicious and the staff so welcoming. Highly recommend!

As always a great lunch, and unbeatable home baked cakes, to be had at the Abbeygreen cafe. New local suppliers and specials everyday. The club sandwich and Strachan burgers are definitely worth a try! Portion sizes are great and the food is very tasty. Cafe surroundings are lovely, modern, relaxing and comfortable. Great friendly service as well.

Great wee cafe to meet up with friends or family or even just to takeaway. It's a friendly warm inviting and up to date in style place in lesmahagow. The staff are lovely and inviting people and the food is lovely and made fresh when you order. I can not fault the place at all.

We stopped here for a soup and sandwich for six. We received a friendly service and tasty food and a nice atmosphere. Recommended.

We stopped off in this little village on the way to Perthshire. The cafe was just closing, but the owner was so helpful and still made us coffee! We were offered water for our dog, toilets, and baby changing facilities. We also got some yummy cakes for our journey. Thanks for being so helpful and accommodating xx

What a great find! Really friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. I love the styling I lnside the cafe! Great food and the coffee was fabulous! 100 % will be back

**NEW OWNERS ** I have to say that the new cafe has become one of my favourite places to go.. fresh coffee, fresh home baking.. no chance you are walking past this place, the smell alone will draw you in.
