Cafe in the Botanics in Glasgow City

Thoroughly enjoyed home made soup and a delicious panini for my lunch followed by tea and biscuits. Didn't want big breakfast my hotel offered and the tea rooms bacon roll and excellent cuppa got my day of to a good start - 3 times. Found the staff very friendly. Sorry for other traveller who felt ignored must have been a one off.

I walked in and waited for several minutes and even after making eye contact with several servers no one ever came to talk to me. I ended up standing next to the “please wait to be seated” sign until I was thoroughly embarrassed and just left. Terrible service just go somewhere else.

Well this afternoon tea must be up there with the best we’ve had. This is a hidden gem. The quality of food was excellent value for money. Service first class. Very flexible on our choices due to some dietary requirements. Would love to come winter with a wee mulled wine. Love this place.

Was visiting the Botanic Gardens with a friend from Edinburgh and stopped for lunch at the Tearoom. We both had a tuna melt panini followed by carrot cake with coffee for me and tea for my friend. Service was friendly and efficient and the food was nicely presented and tasty. It was good to be able to sit outside on the terrace under the shade of an umbrella.

Just awful….a complete waste of money. Stale sandwich… only cheese and tomato on offer as they had run out of everything else. Processed cheap cheese and literally one slice of tomato in the sandwich. Absolutely awful… don’t go. If you need a good sandwich walk down to Pret A Manger ! I certainly won’t be back!

had a brill time on 18th may for afternoon tea for 2 ann the waittress was very helpfull keep up the good work will be back

Many thanks to Fiona and her staff today for serving a really lovely afternoon tea. I would thoroughly recommend a visit to The Tearoom it was superb.

A nice, pleasant tearoom. The pot of tea was gorgeous. The carrot cake was good. And a very nice Victoria sponge, I am reliably informed.

Was here with friends. 1st class service. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Afternoon tea was delicious. We'll worth the money. Will be back again very soon. Thank you. X

Afternoon tea. Was really nice service great waitresses friendly. And cheerful.. the whole experience was amazing lovely afternoon outing.

Very friendly and helpful staff , Groupon afternoon tea great value for the price. Would return and recommend .

Went for afternoon tea with family. Could not ask for more, Delicious choice of sandwiches, fruit scone with clotted cream and jam along with a lovely coffee. To finish off we had cake with fresh berries in cream yum yum. Thank you to the Manager and staff for a great afternoon

Went with mum for afternoon tea, yummy sandwiches, nice cakes, lovely coffee and lovely manager, good experience.

This was a wowcher gift for my husband and I. Visited Sunday afternoon at 2pm. Get a list of sandwiches and to pick one each. Out comes the afternoon tea with 3 sandwiches each of your preferred choice. 2 and a half slice of medium size bread. One fruit scone one (I think) plain scone with jam and clotted cream. On cake each and ours was a very small empire biscuit and a even smaller Victoria sponge. Everything did taste very pleasant but it was one afternoon tea you weren’t leaving stuffed and if you don’t like cream and jam then couldn’t have at anything apart from the sandwich. Choice of tea or coffee. Coffee I think is out an urn. I asked for a flat white just to be told no - could have even offered with addition charge? Was an Ok experience but won’t return.

Our hotel was next to the Botanic Garden. We sat outside both visits, with friends. Of course we had tea.

I have eaten at this tea room on several occasions and always found the food to be enjoyable and the staff friendly. Today, however, one member of staff provided exceptional customer service to myself and my wee boy who took poorly whilst we ate at...

The fruit bread is the best I've had in a long time. The tarts are very good and clotted cream was superb. The courtyard is a lovely hidden gem in the Botanics.

Le tearoom s'articule autour de petites pièces, comme dans un appartement. Quelques petites tables. Service sans chichi, efficace. Thés, sandwichs,...

Leuke 'tearoom', waar je tijdens de wandeling door kassen en parken van de Botanci Gardens even tot rust kunt komen....

The service we received in this tea-room was really friendly and efficient. However the prices appeared rather high with scones at £2,85 each, and a small pastrie £2.50. A mochaccino was £2.85. The quality was good.

We had a cappucino and a scone. The scone was almost tasteless and dry and my coffee didn't taste of coffee, but of hot milk. Hubby had a better cappuccino. It actually tasted of coffee. Tired interior..... so we didn't really think it was worth...

Extremely poor after noon tea CONS Scones are bought in cheap jam in the little square packets no clotted cream poor scones Old Interior Sandwiches - bought in also or very poorly cut in house and squashed one of the sandwich had a 1/4 "...

The old curators house is a grand stone building a la west end of Glasgow and there's a little frisson to be in it as it's where Madeleine Smith's murdered loved L'Angelier lodged for a while. Outside is lovely among the trees too with tables/parasols....

I enjoyed lunch on a recent holiday and visit to Botanical Garden. The wait staff is lovely and food was good.

Visited here yesterday for a light lunch. The soup was delicious and all the staff were friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is relaxed with lovely artwork on the walls from local artists. The only thing that let it down was the toilets. Whilst clean, there...

I have wanted to go to this cafe for a while, and today I had a time to drop in for a visit. It was a wet day, so no chance of sitting on the lovely terrace. I was shown in to a room with...

We were in the area for an appointment and decided to have a walk in Botanic Gardens as it was lovely and sunny. We went into the Tearoom for tea and cake. It was full of American visitors who thought the tearoom was very quaint....

Here you have the lovely botanic garden , peaceful , beautiful perfect , so u would think the tearoom would be the same. Wrong it over expensive rubbish , went on Wednesday 31st may at around 11am inside was empty but u would think it...

Been twice before.. Not Good, but not meriting a swearing from Gordon Ramsay. This time all was well. It has its own secluded and quiet are of the Botanic, outdoor and indoor seating. Excellent Service. Nice Menu. Good food serve in a slightly upmarket style....

lots of lovely cakes, table service, and sunshades for the unexpected hot May sunshine! Only disappointment was the lack of cold/iced teas. Seemingly their supplier had let them down.

Basic decor. Not making much effort to reflect the Botanic Gardens. Friendly effective service. Will be nice during summer to sit outside

We called in for some refreshment after a stroll through the gardens and decided to sample their afternoon tea. They have 3 options on offer that range from £10-50 per person to £13-50 per person. All 3 menus offer sandwiches with smoked salmon and cucumber...

Amazing botanical gardens with a pretty traditional tea room. Very friendly service in an ok setting. Sandwich and potato dishes were acceptable albeit a little expensive. Nice place for a break after greenhouses and in between showers!

After a stroll through the gardens I stopped to have breakfast and tea. It was a quaint setting and the staff were very friendly. The food and tea were lovely.

I called in last week as I had time to kill before meeting with some friends. Lunchtime beckoned and I decided on some lentil soup and a coffee. The lentil soup is the best I have ever tasted and I asked the waitress to pass...

This is a tidy wee tea room with two rooms actually available if it is busy. The cakes and so on a tasty and the sandwiches and soup also nice. Not the cheapest place in the world unless you stick to the soup and tea....

What a gem! I've passed this place so often and never bothered going in until today. I've been missing out. Lovely setting and the most amazing staff. The till developed a fault and, rather than freak out it was dealt with calmly and efficiently with...

The only way to get set ice in this place is to fig a big hole in the ground, cover if with sticks twigs and leafs, then sit patiently into a member of staff forgets it's a pit/trap and falls into it. All the pasteries...

Lunch today with family visiting from Ireland. Staff were excellent and very attentive to the junior member (21month year old) making our lunch very relaxed and enjoyable. Excellent sandwiches and millionaire's cheesecake the yummiest!! Thank you to the lovely ladies who served and chatted to...

Dopo aver passato 3 giorni a mangiare cose non troppo buone per il mio stomaco, ho scoperto questo posticino tranquillo...

Delicious homemade soup, spicy carrot today and a huge sandwich. We only ordered to share as it would have been £8.50 each, a bit steep, but there was plenty anyway, glad we didn't order 2. Very nice staff. Thank you.

bellissimo posto, frequentato da visitatori e famiglie del luogo che rendono l'atmosfera molto british. Ottimo cibo, prezzi medio-alti ma che...

I guess that they were short staffed but it seemed unnecessary to wait to be seated for a cup of tea. Admittedly we could have eaten but it was not lunchtime and all that we wanted was a drink. Very nice tea though. A bit...

This is located at one of the main tourist attractions in Glasgow, that being said I expected the tea room to be more than a small room without ambience, no decorations, just a blank empty / small plain room. We ordered some scones they were...

We visited the Botanic Gardens yesterday, although living near Glasgow we had never walked in the gardens before. So we came across a tearoom in the Gardens, and thought we would have a wee seat (out of the teeming rain and to escape the midgies...

We decided to take a break from walking thru the gardens and found this place !! Had wonderful tea and sandwiches ! And the staff were friendly !! There were 4 of us and we all had different teas so we could try each other's...

Was here for an afternoon tea celebration. It is a truly lovely location, set in the botanic gardens, was clean and enjoyed the local art on the wall. We were allowed to decorate the space (a room to the side) as we pleased, which was...

A great stop for a light or more serious treat the staff were friendly and the food great all within the city and garden

If you love spending time with family friends etc, this is the place to go. the food and drink is really nice, the place is very clean and the staff are brilliant 10/10

Visited on the Saturday morning of the late May Bank Holiday. The place seemed about half full. They were clearly understaffed and after having been seated and watched the one lady member of staff going back and forth we noticed that a number of people...

We visited the tearoom at the Botanic Gardens for lunch. The choice is quite limited but this turned out to be a blessing in disguise as we would have ordered more. We had a lemon and coriander chicken with chilli mayo sandwich. Priced at £6.60...

Good staff very pleasant, reasonably quick service and very comfortable and clean in the cafe. If you do the bus tour you get a 10% off voucher in their booklet for this cafe. We had a lovely pot of tea and excellent scones with butter...

Tanto os doces como o chá estavam ótimos. Boa pedida para entrar no clima britânico. A qualidade compensou o preço...

I have been here several times now and although it is a nice idea, it always just fails to hit the mark. It is let down by staff who are slow to serve customers, in some cases chatting to their colleagues seems to be a...

Lovely cafe with very friendly staff. Good choice of GF sandwich and jacket potato fillings and the best GF sandwich bread I have ever had. Wish I'd asked the name of the supplier. Gf sweet options poor on the day we visited but given the...

Went in with grandchildren for cake and coffee and juice. Nice looking tables and chairs but they need some cushions. They take to long to ask what you want and ages to bring it, although apologies given and staff friendly. Possibly not enough staff. Great...

Upmarket bar serving a good range of beers (Morretti on draught etc) and food. Relaxed atmosphere and busy on Thursday,. You're gonna be £5 a pint.

scrambled egg done in the microwave is just lazy and clotted cream left out. over-priced for what it is. nice enough staff. has the potential to be an absolute gem but shame with poor quality ingredients.

Visited the fantastic gardens with my daughter and granddaughter. We went for afternoon tea and after a few minutes shown to our table. Our order was taken a little while later then waitress came back to say that as it was bank holiday they were...

Кафе, видимо, популярное у семей с детьми. Ничего необычного - чай, кофе, выпечка - все стандартного качества.

The monthly book fair is located in the nearby Hopkirk Building and the Botanics tearoom is the ideal place to stop off before perusing the second hand books. We had outstandingly good service and enjoyed cream teas, soup, ham sandwiches and refreshing hot beverages. An...

A craft fair was on in the Hopkirk Building nearby so we came here for a coffee and cake, etc beforehand. The lady serving us seemed to be the manager and provided us with exceptional service with coffee top ups and attention to every detail....

We took afternoon tea in the tearooms and it was a very enjoyable experience. The staff were friendly and helpful, sandwiches and scone were of a high quality and we were given additional hot water for our tea.

Stopped off at the tearoom in Glasgows Botanic gardens while waiting to go back to the local hospital for tests. I was amazed at how relaxed I was made to feel by the wonderful staff. Breakfast was served very quickly by the lady in charge...

I opted for the £13.50 afternoon tea and have to say it is not worth the money at all. I like to think I am a good judge of afternoon teas, having been for some lovely ones with my girlfriends but this was not one...

Excellent scones. Choice of indoor seating or out. Not too many varieties of tea to choose from but we enjoyed ours.

Stopped off for some coffee and cake and had hoped to get a seat outside in the sun. Unfortunately, while we were promptly greeted and seated, it was in the inside room. While seated very quickly, we were then ignored for 10 minutes while the...

Really nice venue and to sit outside is that much better. Good service and plenty of choices, all reasonably priced

Beautiful sunny Saturday afternoon what could be nicer but afternoon tea and a slice of cake that was the plan unfortunately reality was somewhat different. Having sat down at a table that needed clearing then waited 20 minutes for a menu resorted to getting own,...

avoid really. mediocre sandwich and soup was £8.50 odd and a tea and its £10 plus. better off buying a sandwich in local supermarket and eating in park

After traipsing round the botanical gardens for a couple of hours a pot of real tea and homemade cake was just what the doctor ordered. The outside section was shut for our visit so we utilised one of the two internal rooms in this quaint...

Visited the tea rooms on our final visit to the botanical gardens. we were staying nearby and had walked in the gardens most mornings. We both had a cream tea. It was served quickly. The scones were of a good size but unfortunately they didn't...

I am not normally in the West End, I usually prefer to go to the City centre when we are shopping, but I make a point of dropping in here whenever I am passing. It is convenient for Waitrose and the High Tea here is...

Lovely little building. The staff were beyond awful. Took ages to order, which was subsequently forgotten about. So we went inside to follow up. Eventually got served, had we not been enjoying the rare sunshine, we'd have walked out. Great monster sized scone. Needed more...

Fantastic venue in the heart of this gorgeous setting and the staff have to be the best in the country......Marilyn and her team make you feel right at home, nothing is too much trouble with each table getting all the attention and service they desire....

We dropped in here on a couple of occasions, as we were staying in the area. On each occasion we were able to sit outside and enjoy the views on the gardens We had teas, cakes, sandwiches and soups. All of them were tasty and...

We had to find somewhere that would welcome our dog and this was perfect. The weather was fabulous so we could eat outside and our retriever puppy was admired and pampered - even served with a bowl of water. We had cakes and hot drinks...

Serve o original chá da tarde britânico. O local é interessante, tem comida gostosa mas a senhora mais velha que...

Visited here recently for a cuppa, but when we saw the sandwiches coming out we ordered ham with mustard, it was excellent came with a little side salad and plenty of ham. Perhaps a little pricey. The staff are very friendly and busy. Outdoor seating...

There is a very pleasant outside eating area for when the weather is good, however inside is a pretty cramped affair and losing a few of the tables would make a significant improvement to customers and staff. The food is really just average along with...

I came in for lunch before going around the gardens and I was quite disappointed with what I had! The parsnip and chilli soup was lacking on chilli (I was told it would be spicy, it was actually quite bland), and the scone I was...

I stopped off here with my mum and my three big dogs after a lovely stroll around the Botanical Gardens. We chose to sit outside as it was a warm and sunny day. The tea rooms themselves are ideally situated in the heart of the...

I visited The Tearoom at The Botanics last weekend for some breakfast and coffee with my partner before enjoying a lovely day around the gardens. I had great expectations for the place and was bitterly disappointed. The breakfast choice was poor and lacking variety. I...

I have been here a few times. So you might think I must like it and the truth is the food and facilities are reasonable . They have good toilet facilities if you need baby changing facilities . Food is not bad at all but...

The Coffees are very nice and a wide selection of cakey and nicies meant my wife had a ball. The staff are attentive and quirky and the cafe is an old mansion house where all the rooms are table and chaired. Its fun to sit...

This used to be a decent café in a gorgeous location but has deteriorated progressively over the years and we won't be back after our last visit. It is ridiculously understaffed so you see the poor waitresses running around like poisoned mice, totally unable to...

As the title says the staff were so friendly and chatty. They seem over worked so my coffee did come out warm and not hot and the same with my jacket potato- but their friendliness made it all worth while- and of course you have...

I really only planned to stop for a coffee as I looked through the Botanical Gardens, but the wonderful menu compelled me to grab lunch here as well. I was not disappointed. I got a relatively cheap baked potato with chicken salad, and it was...

I went to The Tearoom at the Botanics yesterday for a coffee.It was a lovely day so we decided to sit outside in the sun.There were six tables without ANY chairs(broken chairs were piled at the side) and lots of tables were waiting to be...

Got to Botanic Gardens around 11o/c in the morning and thought we would have a bite to eat before looking around, we were told we were to early for the launch menu so we had to pick from the breakfast menu, so We went for...

I have to admit i was close to running out of patience and legging it out of the door because we waited a while for a table. We had been greeted though and handed a menu and told theyd have a table for us shortly....

Came back here after three years with my boyfriend as I'm visiting glasgow. we had enjoyed it the previous time and had a good experience . This time round it was such a disappointment and there was huge drop in standard of food and service....

Waiting staff service only. In the summer they would be better to have a self service café. The menu was somewhat limited.

VERY long wait to be acknowledged, never mind being offered a table, indifferent service, mediocre food.... Need I say more? Oh yes, and a dried up weed presumably intended to be a table decoration.

I stopped into the Tearoom for lunch after wandering around the gardens and had a really enjoyable meal -- just a pot of tea and a hummus and sundried tomato panini. Service was quick and pleasant, food was tasty. I'm not terribly picky, particularly with...

Our walking group visited the Botanic Gardens Tearoom last Friday. We had been a few times before and found it very pleasant. I'm sorry to report this time that the service was very slow and more significantly the soup appeared to have been 'watered down'...

It was a spur of the moment thing to wander in for a light lunch and what a wonderful experience it was. A true gem of hospitality was our waitress, Iris, as she served the 6 or so tables, all the while saying "Thank you"....

I only stopped by for a hot drink but I was more than pleased with the service I received. I think it was the manager who served is, she was so lovely and nothing was too much trouble. I had my small dog with me...

I Had a lunch and a snack for my Aunt at this tea room. It was lovely sitting out in the September sunshine in the outdoor area. The only thing that spoilt it was the tea room has only one toilet. For the number of...

We had coffee and cake before going round the botanic gardens, which was very pleasant with helpful staff. Shortly afterwards my wife had a fall nearby and the staff helped us with plasters, paracetamol and and made sure that she was OK before we returned...
