Tea Cosy in East Dunbartonshire

Highly recommended the soup and toasties - delicious 😋 Nice quaint place and friendly staff, definitely return soon.

Splendid place for breakfast. Welcoming and stunning bright airy room with "Jacobean" style windows overlooking the square. Simple food cooked well and speedy service. Some stairs to room.

A very popular tea room with a varied menu. Lovely baking ..lunches are very good and also breakfast. Scrambled egg with smoked salmon is very tasty

We popped in on a chilly and damp autumn afternoon to warm ourselves up. The Tea Cosy was exactly what we were after. Lovely cakes and friendly staff. We'll definitely be back.

Really friendly staff and fantastic food! I was especially hungry and our lunch really hit the spot, great value for money

Visited this cozy cafe when passing through on holiday. Atmosphere great, food amazing and such lovely people... 😍

My little boy and I love coming here. Friendly service and food hits the spot.. I recommend the baked potatoes!

Popped in on Saturday for a quick lunch with my mum. My mum had a baked potato & tuna which she enjoyed & I ordered the macaroni as I was feeling hungry which was lovely, but I think they forgot to fill the dish. It was an oval dish with one Skimpy layer on the bottom & a bit of tomato cut on top & a bit of bread on the side. Forget the bread & tomato,I ordered the macaroni & was really disappointed on the portion size & was still hungry after I ate it. I really should of said something at the time as I don’t know how you get away with this , well I do people don’t complain. I think if you are serving this portion size you need to put this in a smaller dish, charge less & write small portion, & forget the bread.A lot of places use the oval dish & size for macaroni ,but it is full to the top or near enough.I would be happy to pay more for a decent amount as it was tasty, but this let you down big time. Hopefully this will improve or don’t waste your money 💰 folks.

The Stilton and broccoli soup today was just delicious - one of 3 soup choices - as was the tuna mayo sandwich! Always enjoy my visits here.

Called in for a late breakfast, I had the full Scottish, my wife poached eggs and salmon , both of which we enjoyed. An unusual room at the top of a few stairs. With 2 teas the total bill was £16. The staff were all very helpful .

its a while since iv been in here anyway in milngavie with time to spare nothing realy changed still a lot of stairs to climb ..there was four of us .ordered three breakfasts and one mac/cheese .no mac/cheese took panini pretty bland but passable three breakfasts all of them burned at the edges potato scones were creamated .bacon dry and hard . [not very good .on the bright side the place is very clean staff pleasant just the cooking that let it down which is a shame because thats why we went [do something about the cook then it could have five stars ]there was no point complaining at the time what can you do once its cooked its cooked

Went in for breakfast and coffee the breakfast was extremely dry everything was very well cooked and it came with no beans. For £5.95 plus £2.55 for the coffee a bit too overpriced. The coffee cup was hotter than the coffee even after sitting for 15 minutes cup was still too hot.

Great for lunches and snacks. Service was excellent as was the food. Had the home made soup. Excellent. Really quircky place inside but charming at the same time. Well worth a pop in if you are in Milngavie town centre. Good food and reasonably priced.

During a visit to the area my partner and I were looking for somewhere to have breakfast and found this place by accident. It was lovely. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We both had breakfasts which were delicious . Nice relaxed atmosphere but It was quiet when we were there which suited us.

Really good quality food and teas/coffees. Helpful and friendly service with a smile. Even offered magazines as I was waiting on someone joining me

Arranged a birthday lunch over the telephone and were overwhelmed with the service, food and helpfulness and friendliness of the staff. Asked for a birthday cake if possible and on arrival a birthday balloon was placed in the middle of the table. The food was all superb, very fresh and nicely presented. Can't fault the place and would recommend it to anyone. One note of caution: as the restaurant is on the top floor (no lift) disabled access would be difficult.

Popped in and had macaroni cheese, have to say I could have had several things on the menu, but plumped for my favourite and it was just fabulous, made with Marshalls Macaroni, which is unusual as most restaurants tend to use any kind on pasta which is just not right. Well done

Have visited this Coffee Shop several times over a long number of years and have never been disappointed. It is nothing fancy but it is good quality, honest food. It is reasonably priced and the food is fresh and appetising. My friend had the coffee with her meal and commented on how good the coffee was.

Las escaleras hasta la primera planta - cafe son un poco intimidante, pero una vez que llegue el café vale la pena el esfuerzo. Hay un maravilloso despliegue de teteras todo el las paredes y la decoración es estilo Tudor. Mi capuchino era excelente y había un trozo de tarta sin gluten de chocolate de menta gratis para ir con ella. Una selección de periódicos está disponible para los clientes de leer, las sopas olía muy apetecible.

Almuerzo con amigos decepcionados que eligió té acogedor interior como exterior parecía estar en mal estado muy de moda y lleno de gente mayor. Más allá de que el personal excelente, muy atento y amable. Menú WA demasiado grande para llenar con confianza que casero y fresco a la orden, pero la sopa estaba gran sabor y lástima no trigo pan casero gratis alternativa. Pequeñas raciones pero eso me tés, café caro como tazas pequeñas pero sabía bien, tenía té verde y leche de soja. Probablemente regresaría tartas parecía bueno si tienes golosos.

Ordered soup and sandwich unfortunately soup was tasteless. I never add salt and pepper to cooked food but I did on 5 occasions to my soup as it was tasteless!!!!!!

Great wee place for coffee, cake or a wee quick lunch. Two of us had two types of home made soup. Cockaleekie and broth. Both lovely. Had two toasties and teas. £8.50. Try the gorgeous mandarin cake if you are in for coffee.

I pop into the Tea Cosy every couple of weeks for a baguette and homemade soup, and they never disappoint. I'm quite fussy with the tuna/cheese ratio on my baguette but nothing is ever too much trouble for them. Service is great!

We visited when in Milngavie and although the entrance is not very enticing the tea room itself is very good. The food was excellent and a lovely pot of tea too. I would recommend this to anyone for a lunch, or even just a cuppa.

I always enjoy visiting the Tea Cosy. It's has traditional surroundings and friendly staff. I always have their home made soup which is always delicious. Coffee always good. Overall no complaints.

Nice staff, coffee okay but nothing special. decor okay but could definitely do with updating. Food however, was terrible. I ordered the breakfast to treat myself, something that doesn't happen all that often anyway and was left hungry. One slice of toast (seriously, one?!), a...

I have been many times over the years however it is evident it is now in desperate need of modernisation. The entrance hall is unappealing & the restaurant interior is grubby and outdated. The crockery is also desperately in need of replacing. The food is reasonable but fair to say you can get far better in Milngavie. If you ask for cans of juice, don't expect them to be cold!!

This place is dingy and uninviting location is not ideal for them but the hallway is not inviting and quite frankly either is the cafe. Drinks were ok as was the service food not so much definitely better cafes in Milngavie tried due to the other being too busy.

Great place to have a nice meal or just a coffee, there may be a problem with access for the less well abled, as it is up a flight of stairs and therefore not suitable for wheelchair access. Physical problems aside the food is nice mix and you are sure to get something to suit your taste.

This restaurant is in an upstairs room directly over Boots. The decoration consists of about 200 teapots (all different), and there is (thank God) no horrible muzack. Food is simple but good, and prices very reasonable. I go there quite often.

Soup was poor supported with a meagre bit of bread.Coffee straight out the jar and not pleasant.Crockery was actually embarassing to use. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS..Atmosphere non existent.Not my choice of destination and I will not be returning as I don't think anything will change in a positive way.

i visited the tea cosy after the original place we where going was full, with my partner,mother and brother. When we sat down we where asked if we all wanted a few minutes to look over the menu and the waitress took nearly twenty minutes to come back and take our order. we all ordered the breakfast at first they brought us toast with no knifes and didn't brig hem until they brought the full breakfast out, it was all extremely greasy ad didn't look appetizing at all, my mother couldn't eat hers as she felt sick with all the grease so we sent it back and just had the toast, when i went to pay for this at the end the waitress tried to charge us for all the food and when i explained what happened she drew me a dirty look and went to ask if she was to charge us or not, i was embarrassed that i had to tell her in front of all the other customers that we would not be paying for the uneaten meal. it was the worst meal i have ever eating and definitely not be going back there would much rather go to cafe alba around the corner and i would advise others to do the same..

We come here every Saturday for our morning coffee and scone we just have to find a seat and we get served straight away without us having to order. The staff are very friendly and the place is alway clean and tidy. I would and have recommended here to anybody it is a place not to be missed and is also close to the start of the West Highland way.

Very nice little cafe, if you can get a seat by the window then the view is good. The staff are very friendly and the service is excellent.

Nice little café that was missed by me for the first year of living in Milngavie. Lovely wee café, great service and my kids are in love with the milkshakes.

Always a great place to stop and have a coffee, or snack. Home made soup and scones, and always a few cakes to choose from in the cabinet. The staff are very attentive, and the owner is always on site, which adds to the confidence in service and the food.

It's a cheap and cheerful cafe with nice decorations. Slightly older crowd, good for a cup of tea, cake or a breakfast roll

A bit like visiting an old Aunt, mind you I'm sure she would have made more of an effort.Lacking in atmosphere and too like a tea bar set up in a church. The main consistent part of the eperience was the average standards.

This is the most quaint friendly coffee shop ,I have been in many times baking is all homemade,fresh and portion sizes good,you even get a wee bit of tablet on your saucer .love this shop .took a Canadian relative there and she was amazed and delighted well done jessie biscuit

What a lovley place and such friendly staff.Home baking was wonderful and we enjoyed every mouthful.Lots of interesting Tea pots to admire a good collection.In the centre of Milnagvie so handy for a quick snack before shopping.Will go back again soon Im sure.

Very pleasant and helpful staff! Food was excellent and the seating very comfortable.Highly recommend the Tea Cosy as a place to meet friends and partake of the Coffee and Scones.

Welcoming, community atmosphere. Nice cakes and lunches. Nice view of village from window seat. Friendly staff. Would recommend for a bite of lunch or a cake and coffee.

Had snack with a foreign visitor. Staff friendly and very accommodating. Tasty home baking. Pleasant décor.

We go here every Saturday for our morning coffee and home made scone,we just have to find a seat and being regulars we just get brought our usual order by the friendly staff. We would recommend here to anybody(which we have.)

Nice wee cafe in the heart of Milngavie, up a flight of stairs. Basic menu but don't let that put you off the food is good. As another reviewer mentioned it is nice to sit by the window and just watch the world go by.

Been here twice now, had soup and toasties the first time and baked potato this time. Service is OK could be a bit friendlier. Good location,nice to sit at the window and watch the world go by. Slices of cake a bit overpriced. Had sponge and cheesecake which were both £2.25 bit expensive for the size of slice you get. Would definitely go back but would class it as a treat not an everyday visit.

1st floor window alcove is the one to have in the only timber frame building in Milngavie. The menu is very basic cafe fare but is good value.

Went here for breakfast quite early. Good food well served at a reasonable price.Papers provided free of charge

Words cannot describe how rude and unprofessional the staff are in this cafe, however I will try.... We attended today for a spot of light lunch, we ordered soup and sandwiches and were told that if we were ordering a combo dish we wouldn't get salad with it, unless we paid for items separetely, no big deal but staff ( older lady, long blonde hair) walked away before we finished ordering. Meals arrived prior to our drinks, again no big deal but we did have to remind staff to bring them to us. "Two lattes?" Er no, sparkling water and a coffee. The water was brought over and I asked for some ice, " we don't have ice" and walked away. Perhaps if she had bothered to go into the kitchen and looked in the freezer...just a suggestion. Anyhow, onto the soup, we ordered cockaleekie, they brought us potatoe and leek, not even an apology or enquiry as to if we wanted a different one " that's potatoe and leek there's no cock a leekie". My partner joked that he was allergic to leeks and got a scathing reply "we'll there's leeks in the other one!" However, we had our food which was average at best. I went to pay, "we don't accept cards!!" Arghhhh! No signage indicating this anywhere. And to add insult to injury, we were overcharged!!! I just found the staff completely rude and unprofessional, never again!

Cosy and quirky, with all the little tea-pots all over the place. Toasters were good, milk shake enjoyed and coffee was spot on. Nice view from the raised platform at the window, of the village below. Just one request.......train the staff to smile!!!!

perfect for a lunchtime visit where you will find homemade soup, good toasties, homemade cakes and lovely hot chocolate (a dream for the kids) but generally a little expensive. to be fair though, price in keeping with the other 'sandwich shops' in Milngavie. Fast service with a smile.

We always go for breakfast here as simply put its fresh and fantastic ..... Highly recommended and the staff are nice and freindly as well

I recently visited the tea cosy and was very impressed by the good value for money, the portions sizes where great and I would highly recommend ordering the omelettes as it was the best I've tasted in a while. I will definitely be back soon. They also have a take away menu..

A nice friendly place for morning coffee with home made cake or scone. Also a good place for lunch,and near to the start of the West Highland Way.

Visited The Tea Cosy in Milngavie Glasgow last week and was blown away with how good it was. Friendly staff, great food and a lovely atmosphere. The original fireplace and collection of teapots round the roof make it very quaint and cosy. The food and homemade cakes are top class. It is situated above Boots next to the big clock in Milngavie town centre. Will be making weekly visits from now on. Their soup is to die for.

I've lived in Milngavie for over a year before finding this place. Went there recently with my parents at about 2pm. Despite being after the lunch rush it was still quite busy. Staff were friendly and helpful, service was great and food was very nice (cakes were delicious).The teapot decorations are quaint!Would definitely pop back for lunch or just meetingfriends for tea and cakes.

the tea cosy is a lovely tea room with good atmosphere,and food is good quality,the staff are very freindly and attentive,nice range of cakes and pastries,unfortunatly its upstairs though not particulary steep,wpold be a problem for disabled people apart from that i would highly recomend it.
