Craft Centre Tearoom in North Lanarkshire

Came here for the first time and I was not dissapointed. Was amazing food and amazing service, great sized portions at a great price. Very nice and polite people and a very clean and homely area to eat in would highly recommend, was a great place especially for a local. Will definently be back again.

I popped in here for lunch. The homemade soup was lovely and really filling. Nice coffee too. The lady serving me was really friendly and chatty which seemed fitting for a community cafe (there is also a large craft shop). A great place - I'd happily come back here for good food and friendly service.

All we had was Lentil soup and a sandwich late morning. Soup was hot as it should be;sandwich with a choice of brown or white bread was entirely acceptable. Interesting craft materials in the adjacent shop. I shall return.

Based in a converted church this is a super friendly place. Great food and atmosphere is second to none. Nothing is to much trouble.

Lovely place and food is to die for I would recommend this place to anyone in the area or visiting. Cafe is inside a church and also sells craft materials at a great price. Food is made fresh and coffee is excellent.

Great place for a coffee with superb home baking. Has a ladies nail bar and small shop. Also caters for lunches. Great service and a friendly atmosphere

love the coffee here elizabeth who is one of the staff is brilliant makes the meanest lattes i love it!!!!

First time visiting this quaint tea room as was in area visiting family, staff very friendly , hubby ordered soup of the day lentil which was served with a giant white roll very hot and tasty he then had lemon meringue pie straight from the oven which he enjoyed we had toast and poached eggs again fine reasonable prices and a craft shop to wander through remember everything cooked to order so don't expect your food right away

Great food, very reasonably priced, great staff. Delightful tea room. Set in old church, very homely. Fabulous menu, every day there is some specials. Great banter!

Ordered fresh cream meringue it was disappointing .The meringue did not seem to be made with fresh eggs could be some kind of dried or frozen white of egg and the cream was not what I call fresh cream. After all the rage reviews I was really looking forward to a proper fresh cream meringue

Absolutly lovely wee place, warm, cosy and friendly. Me and mum had a breakfast, it was delicious, cooked to perfection, warm and friendly staff 😊😊😊😊

Once again the centre has excelled in the food provided and the service. Highly recommended for meals and craft goods. Well worth a stop.

Four of us had breakfast here before travelling north. It was the best breakfast I have ever had, and I have eaten a lot of breakfasts! All the components were freshly and perfectly cooked and excellent quality. Plenty of tea and coffee served with it. The girl serving was very pleasant and nothing was any bother to her. The craft centre also was very interesting to walk around. The great thing is....I live near here and can enjoy this anytime I want!

I am a frequent visitor to The craft Centre. As a family of 5 we just cannot see past it. Great menu, quaint décor, excellent, helpful staff. The macaroni cheese and home baking is a must. Love the tea cosies and little glass bottles of milkshake. The kids' favourite is the pancake stack--yum tum. All at an excellent price which is a bonus! Try it out, you will go back for more!

Quick stop over with a friend while waiting for kids to finish band practise. Pleasantly surprised! Very cosy with friendly service. Crafters will love it as it has a little shop attached filled with crafting supplies. Will visit again if I am in the area.

Popped in last week for my lunch and decided to go for the Cajun Chicken burger. On my previous visit I enjoyed the Fajitas so decided to go for Mexican again. Have to say I was blown away by the food. The traditional look is fantastic but deceiving as the variety of food is terrific. Also had the Beef Stroganoff on a previous visit which was to die for.

Stopped in for a scone and cup of coffee, Great food, great service. Unusual location.Well worth a visit

Please make sure your journey takes you towards this wonderful eaterie.Warm and cosy tea rooms within a lovely old red sandstone church.Either have a quick snack or if time permits enjoy a home cooked lunch. If you have room left please try the sticky toffee pudding with custard, not to be missed. Real custard served in the dish and not what seems to be the norm recently in a silly wee jug.

A great choice from snacks to meals with yummy cakes. Ideal for all ages. If you haven't already visited I recommend that you do so soon. You will definitely not be disappointed.

Excellent food excellent service cosy and friendly atmosphere all food home made attached to a craft shop with lovely merchandise x

Planning on visiting a museum in this area we were looking for somewhere to have lunch and checked out Tripadvisor. We then decided to visit the Craft Centre Tearoom, which is slightly off the main traffic route but with the help of our trusty sat nav we found it.The tearoom forms part of the craft centre and is small and nicely set aside with partitions providing a comfortable place to dine. We all chose the All Day Breakfast and selected different items from the standard selection. Each plate correctly contained all that we asked for and was freshly cooked with toast and a large pot of tea provided for the price of £4.99 which we considered excellent value. There was also a very varied menu suiting all tastes and a lovely dessert/cake menu which unfortunately we had no room for.We also took time to browse the craft materials, cards etc and purchased some of them at reasonable prices. Well worth a visit.

Had an all day breakfast here and it was thoroughly enjoyable. The only minor negative detail was that there was quite a wait for the food but it was cooked fresh. Excellent choice of food and prices were very reasonable.

My niece had a pamper party here and the staff could not have been more helpful. The girls had a great time the food was first class fresh sandwiches and sausage rolls and beautiful hand made cakes. A lovely experience. The also showed us round their formal dining room which I think they said holds 24 so ideal for a family gathering if no-ones house is big enough or you just want a treat. Could also hold meetings where tea and cskes can be provided. Overall a great place

Discovered this wee place from tripadvisor. It's a great tearoom with a large menu. Have tried lots of different dishes and never been disappointed. Have taken family and friends here, who now bring their friends and family too. Referring to the 'average' review - Yes-it is a tearoom, not a Michelin restaurant-but it does not try to be! It provides good-quality, well-cooked hearty portions of food which are freshly prepared and reasonably priced. Love this place!

Visited here after googling for places to eat. Very friendly family run tearoom. Everything was freshly cooked and the homemade cakes are to die for. Owner is very friendly and cheery and makes you feel very welcome. A gem hidden away in Coatbridge.

I visited the tearoom with Mum after doing a "near me" search whilst waiting at Monklands Hospital. The tearoom is a cosy wee place and the food was great. I had soup and a sandwich, "the works" hot chocolate and a caramel slice. For the two of us, we were under £20. The baking was tremendous and clearly home baked.Suffice to say, we were delighted to have found this wee gem rather than just plumping for the hospital canteen - this place wins, hands down and is less than a mile away. It almost seems a shame it's so well hidden. Worth a visit.

Have enjoyed lunch here on several occasions. Food is good and great value for money. Enjoy looking around arts and crafts on display and which are for sale. Owner very helpful and friendly.

A very good wee tea room with decent cafe type food. It is what it is I couldn't possibly agree with best restaurant in Coatbridge that's just not a fair or reasonable comparison but for what it is, a tea room, it does it well enough. Not homemade chips and prebought breaded fish both I think the same as in scottish school canteens from what I remember. macaroni cheese nice enough but still average had better. No major criticism it is a decent enough tea room but that's all it should not be compared to other proper restaurants that are around where you can easily get nicer plates of better quality food

Been here a few times for lunch and the food is excellent...not to mention the fab cakes! Held my daughters 7th birthday party here at end of January and we had use of one of the smaller rooms as well as some 'pampering' in the beauty salon which is also in the same building. That and a wonderful lunch for all the girls meant that she had a great party for a really reasonable price!

Had lunch here (again) yesterday, fabulous Bistro, food fantastic, always immaculately clean, staff are very friendly and very attentive. If you haven't tried here already, give it a go, you'll be back time and time again! All home made dishes and the menu is always full of delightful dishes!

lovely warm welcome.staff and food excellent.setting is very different and has a great ambience.And the cakes are all homemade and superb.

Just back from here,its fab food is fresh and tasty big portions even for the kids, staff really nice and friendly loved the wee area for kids building blocks etc we will totally be back

What a cracking wee place! Visited with partner and her nephews. Toys and paper/crayons for the kids and a great wee setting. The food was out of this world - all fresh and home made. Great selection of cakes and wide selection of qualities. And the prices were brilliant too. If you are in the area forget all the fast food places, pop in here and get some good quality grub!

Absolutely fantastic Saturday evening here. 18 of us. Fantastic delicious food. Cakes absolutely delicious and indulgent! Such friendly staff who really wanted us to have a nice time. Just such a lovely place with nice feel and atmosphere with such tasteful decor. My mum was so happy here celebrating her birthday.Thanks.

Visited here for the first time today with my wife for a quick brunch.Very pleasant, welcoming staff, a lovely menu. We both ordered french toast & bacon from the breakfast menu . Very nice but I did find the side salad a little strange, something you would find in the Med, not Lanarkshire. I also found walking through the gift shop to the seating was not ideal and disabled access was not apparent.All in all there was sufficient good things and the temptation of the homemade cakes for me to defiantly return.

Lovely welcome, beautiful food and very quaint surroundings. We both enjoyed our food immensely. Good selection of items on the menu and fabulous home baking, what's not to love?

Food fresh and tasty, the rosti was delicious and the cheesecake too!! The menu is so good that it took us ages to choose, but each time everything has been very good. The lovely "old fashioned" crockery adds to the atmosphere and the staff are so friendly!

Lovely wee place. Family friendly, fresh food, comfortable surroundings, huge portions what's not to like. Craft shop and therapy room added bonus. Go and see for yourself ☺

Found out about this place on tripadvisor and ended up in here for lunch recently I must say when I pulled up outside I didn't have great expectations and thought it was maybe just a cafe with teas and sandwiches, but the menu was full of hot food options all very tempting. Food cooked fresh to order so takes a wee bit longer but didn't mind waiting an extra few minutes for this and you can call ahead if under time constraints, full cake menu too all home baking. Really rate and recommend this place a definate must try if you're local, we will be back soon.

Just had the pleasure of dining at the tearoom with my family for the first time and the food is fantastic. My husband and I both had the cheeseburger and chips, we are absolutely stuffed now! Kids had macaroni and cheese which they loved. Followed up by some amazing desserts, my husband managed to polish off the caramel shortcake sundae (pic to follow). Truly a great place to take the family, made to feel very welcome and the kids had plenty to do so they didn't become restless. The portions are so generous the price is very reasonable and the food delicious I could not recommend the craft centre tearoom enough try it you will not be disappointed!

I come here often with my family to eat as the food is so fresh and well cooked and the portion sizes are great. For my fussy family anything is possible and the staff are so helpful and will alter the meals to suit which for me is a saving grace! After hearing that only 3 people have ever managed to finish the "Go Large Breakfast" I decided to give it a bash, it's Coatbridge not Man v Food so it can't be that much of a challenge right? Wrong!! The breakfast tasted amazing but I didn't even come close to finishing it, well done to the chef you beat me! But I am now in training and will be back, I want my photo on that wallboard to show that I defeated the big breakfast so watch this space ...... Great quality and value for money guys and the service is first class.... So what are you waiting for get yourselves down there !

The craft centre tea room is by far the most freindly place I gave been. The service is great and thr food is even greater! The staff are friendly and welcoming and make you feel just like your eating in your own home!! Totally recommend the tea room! Xxx

A fantastic tea room! Excellent food, all cooked freshly! The cakes are always delicious, the portions are fantastic and so is the selection! All the staff a friendly and welcoming and so accommodating. You can phone ahead and put in an order so it's all ready for your arrival! There is a wee room at the back where the door can be shut keeping my wee ones "contained" which saves me worrying about disturbing others. I need no excuse to come here and go frequently for either a breakie, a lunch or just some cake!Can't give a high enough recommendation!

Nothing beats going to the tea room on a day off! Staff are always so welcome and very pleasant. The food is amazing and even more so the cakes! With every day there is usually a new selection of home baked cakes which is such a treat. The coffee and tea come in little china cups and sauces which I think adds to the quaintness of the place. I Definitely recommend it to any one who enjoys a good coffee and cake.

Come here two or three times a week, I love it such an amazing home feeling, excellent for the kids, felt I had to put another review on as I never done it justice the last time! I have two young girls and they are known by name in here, they even have a wee room at the back so they can make a bit of noise without causing too much chaos, with a box of building blocks. I would highly recommend here if your looking for fresh home cooked meal with staff that couldn't do enough for you, this is definetly the place to try, cakes are amazing also, my personal favs are the sticky toffee pudding and chocolate brownies.

Lovely tearoom with a wood burning stove will make it very cosy on a colder day. Food is fresh and tasty. Have to admit my favourite is the waffle with cinnamon apple sauce and ice cream...PERFECT!!!

Charming little tea room. Everything lovely and fresh worth waiting on I had Stilton & broccoli soup served with nice fresh morning roll and 2 butters followed by macaroni cheese cooked to perfection didn't get to taste the home baking. as the portions are man sized. Lovely meal homely place great service they also have Wifi and newspapers. Can't wait go back

Been twice now and each time blown away. Portions excellent, well made home cooked food on an extensive menu.My son loved it!! He's extra greedy and they went above and beyond satisfying him. He loved the teriyaki chicken, high praise indeed,he normally devours everything that fast you think he couldn't possibly have tasted it.He's now asking when can we go back to sample more!! Thank you again for accommodating him and supplying him with a humongous desert. See you again very soon.

Celebrated Mums 70th here, all 20 of us round the one table in a beautiful room. Craft Centre staff all give a warm welcome and deliver outstanding customer service with " nothing is to much bother attitude".All food was excellent, freshly made and full of flavour, also at a reasonable price. Everyone including fussy eating children were suited from the great selection of dishes on the menu. I have also dropped in on a few occasions for a latte and and there is always a large choice of home baking to choose from (Hot apple pie and ice cream to die for). Would highly recommend.

Went for lunch after a trip to the Time Capsule - food absolutely excellent and very reasonably priced. Everything appears to be home-made. Very friendly service. Recommended!

friday, private tasting of the new summer snack menu,salad bowls of BBQ or tepyinaki chicken or beef or maple chicken brest and even black pudding with poached egg.Then on saturday afternoon a private 70th birthday party in the new private room which sat all 20 guest round one large table which is great as it keeps all the group together and even cooking for 20,all food arrived quickly and as with all the food it was all cooked to perfection and not one complaint from a group of 20.Then on sunday catered for a 40 plus house party,again food was teriffic and a great selection from pizzas to wraps sausage rolls and sandwiches and more than pleanty to go round.GREAT WEEKEND OF FOOD.

I have been to this tearoom a number or times, and the food has always been first class . It is cooked for you at the time of ordering so it is made nice and fresh for you .

Visited for lunch after reading good reviews here and on fb. Wasn't disappointed, lovely quirky tea room with great food and service. I'll definitely be back.

I love everything about this quirky tearoom. They serve a great homemade menu full of variety and deliciousness which I'm still trying to work my way through. The tearoom itself has some gorgeous features and the ambience is spot on. You need to try this place out! They also offer a takeaway service which you can call and pre-order to save any waiting about. Great value. Great grub and grrrrrrrreat cakes :)

Amazing little tearoom in historical surroundings. Love how existing features have been upcycled into tearoom. Food outstanding and extremely generous portions. Very warm and welcoming and looking forward to returning.

Took my family here for a nice quiet breakfast and was more than pleased. This is a really unique place, I love the fact they have recycled the old church pews to use in the cafe. It's decorated in a way that you feel really comfortable and almost forget you are in a cafe!! The staff could not be nicer or any more helpful. The food was perfect, especially the large Scottish breakfast (a must for a man with a big appetite!) They fed my family of 4 with loads of tea and other soft drinks for 20 quid which was very very good value for money these days. Will be returning and using it as my regular go to place for a family meal. Looking forward to returning next week to try the lunch menu!

My son and daughter-in-law booked this little cafe tea room for my grandson's christening lunch. It was first class. The buffet was brilliant with loads of savouries, home made sandwiches and unbelievable home baking. They catered brilliantly for around 60 guests and and everyone had a great time. Without exception every guest commented on the food the staff and the warm and friendly ambience of the place. It felt like almost we had hosted a family celebration in our own home. I cannot praise this place highly enough. As an artist I also love the fact that you enter the tea room through a packed lttle arts and craft store, and the whole decor of the place is arty , homely, warm and particularly tasteful. For a celebration, a lunch or just a quick cuppa with some great home baking you would be hard placed to find a better venue.

I love visiting this tearoom as it has a wonderful homely atmosphere and a great choice of quality food. No lunch is complete without trying one of Jen's cakes. There's always a variety on offer whether you like a classic scone or want to try something more exotic like the coconut and mango loaf I devoured today! The family run tearoom provides a really friendly service and nothing is too much trouble for Janey or Stuart. Thanks for another fab lunch.

We visited here with some friends who were travelling from down south and we were all charmed by the kindness of the staff, the freshness of the food and the little attentions to detail with the decor. Placed at the back of a craft shop, it's like finding a wee treasure trove of delicious home-made foods. Great value too.

Visit here all the time, food is lovely, Owners and staff are fantastic. Cakes are out of this world would recommend sticky toffee pudding and really reasonable prices too.

All meals are made from scratch, the mac and cheese is the best I've tasted and the home baking is like your granny used to make! The tearoom is child friendly and will alter the menu to suit requirements, tea is served in old fashioned china cups and every pot has it's own hand-made tea cosy, this place is a home from home.

Best homemade Cajun Chicken burger I have ever had. Huge chicken breast on a bun with paprika wedge. Next time I'm trying the Fajitas :)

best breakfast in coatbridge,all cooked to order and all cakes made on the premises,can phone and have your order ready if you are in a hurry
