Love it here, that unmistakable aroma of books and coffee as you walk in....Good selection of books and the coffee is so much nicer than the main brand ones nearby. Staff are always nice too.

Always very friendly, helpful staff here. Bought a book for my husband for Christmas and the person serving me assured me the Author was amazing and there were multiple series if his books should me husband like it. He did and cant wait to read it!

Normally I love Waterstones cafes! I adore buying a book and settling in with a cosy coffee to read it. However, today my voyage into the works of Keats was ruined by the woman working at the cafe in the black top moaning about her manager. Please take it from me when I say the entirety of Waterstones doesn’t need to hear what you would do differently! That seems like a conversation best struck up with your manager. 13/08/22

I can’t thank the staff in Café W enough for providing me with a calming peppermint tea and cheese toasty after I stumbled out of the science fiction area. I managed to rip myself from the pages of a war between man and machine. I know I can’t return to my world due to the new robot overlords. The staff comforted me and assured me that I could start a new life on this world. I owe my new life to the staff of Waterstones East Kilbride

Nice and quiet place to relax while enjoying a tea/coffee as it's in the bookstore, I find they tend to be just like libraries with people generally being quieter than normal, maybe it's all the books we just associate with having to be quiet lol. Quite limited range of sandwiches/biscuits/cakes on offer but it is a small section of store so that figures. Coffee was colder than I would have liked although it was nice, the cups have gotten tiny hence only 3 stars but I do like the quiet.

Would avoid this “bar/restaurant” like you where avoiding the plague or in modern day context COVID. The starters are for kids at nursery, the main meals are for the teenagers who are yet to go through puberty and low and behold you want fresh salad you will have to wait for the market to open unless you want tasteless, paper leaves. However don’t let that put you off we have left the best too last the managers call you names and become personal if you state the food was not up to standard. The manager is condescending, patronising and down right rude as well as objecting to all comments they feel it is acceptable to raise issues on the premises and the staff to respond with ok and walk away. The service is non existent like the taste of the food.

Tried this place a year ago & it was good, tried it s year later & it was awful. Soup thin & tasteless, & much more expensive than before, charged 50p extra for a tiny bit of supermarket baguette. Cheaper coffee too. The best thing about the place before was Michael & he was nowhere to be seen the couple times we been in this week. All in all was awful,we won't be going back Not even if Michael was serving up his Glesga Patter.
