Tea Time in South Lanarkshire

This is a brilliant wee cafe in the centre of Lanark. Bright and spotlessly clean. Staff are so helpful and friendly. Coffee as we waited for breakfast was excellent, and the cooked breakfasts were just great! Hot meals, and well cooked. This is a place you must not miss … it’s a gem of a place, with lovely staff.

Excellent good value food and excellent service from a very friendly staff…..busy at lunch time but didn’t have to wait too long

First time in Lanark and Tea Time was recommended. Very friendly and welcoming staff although it is not a huge coffee shoo they have plenty staff. Lovely fresh clean surroundings. Hubby had a latte and a morning roll egg enjoyed both said the latte was lovely and hot I had tea and a fruit scone again no complaints very reasonable will return when back in the area and try lunch.

Lunch stop in Lanark,First thing i noticed about the cafe was how fresh and clean it appeared,very inviting.I chose Italian bruschetta ,served with coleslaw and crispy salad,,tasty and pretty on the plate,,,My Husband equally pleased with his baguette choice,generously filled .Cake time to pick,,,,,Rhubarb sponge with warm custard which came in a wee glass milk bottle,,,just devine,,,,nicest sponge pud i have had for a long time,,,What i liked about Teatime as the care and pride that the staff gave to their food and service,,giving their customers a truly nice experience,,excellent work guys,,thank you ,Gina

My mothers side of the family are from Lanark, and was visiting the town for the first time in ages. Was in need of something to eat, but mainly for on the go, so popped in to Tea Time to grab a morning roll and coffee to take away. Great little cafe just at the bottom end of Lanark main street, and sure of a warm welcome from the great staff as soon as you enter. Ordered a breakfast roll to go and was freshly prepared in no time and was VERY tasty. If in Lanark again, will be sure to visit again.

Had a great club sandwich with a really nice side salad . Good selection of food on menu. Sit in or take away. Staff were lovely and welcoming.

Love Tea Time. Kind, polite staff, perfect oat mylk coffee, yummy sandwiches and cakes. Great ambience. Clean, tidy, wonderful. Thank you!

Dog friendly inside and outside. We stopped off for afternoon tea after shopping and had hot chocolate and a ginger scone. It was one of the best scones I've ever tasted. Lovely warm welcome and will definitely go there again if in the area.

Visited today with family for the first time but we had a poor experience. We were seated for 30 mins before someone came & took our order. Once our order was took, we waited another 30 mins for our food, it was a little busy but not over run busy. I asked the staff about our order & they didn’t know what I was on about, only later for them to apologise as they “didn’t have our order in” Once we received our order, we needed cutlery which they “Forgot about too” our food was cold & cutlery was dirty. It was a very hectic experience & Un relaxed. The waiter appeared untrained & the staff in the kitchen seemed to be running around like headless chickens… overall, we had a poor experience which was disappointing.

Popped in for a late lunch of soup and sandwiches. Brilliant as usual. If they ever develop a Nobel Prize for scone making, this wee gem of a place would win hands down!

We were in Lanark looking just for a wee bite on a Monday afternoon (I know, tough one!) and we were so amazingly welcome at Tea time. The staff is lovely, great options for food and beverages, we had a nice time and great chat, bonus: the place is lovely. Thank you very much 😊

Stopped in on the way back from Livingston and had a light lunch. This was our 2nd visit and that tells it's own story. Staff are great. The food is tasty, fresh and a wee bit on the unusual side. I had a plate of home made soup and a sandwich. My wife also had soup and some pate. And very nice it all was. A good measure of an establishments quality, in my opinion, is the cleanliness of the toilet facilities. This gets a 5 star rating on that score! We couldn't resist the scones either but as we were choc full after our lunch these were taken home. With the staff kindly providing butter and jam. Pop in if you're passing. You won't be disappointed!

Husband and I called in for a snack lunch. We loved that the food was a little out of the ordinary, and it was delicious and very reasonably priced. I had a fantastic Brie and grape panini with juicy salad, my husband had coronation chicken soup and then treated himself to their delicious key lime and chocolate cake. We received a friendly welcome, and our already clean table was given a thorough antibacterial spray and wipe before we settled. We felt relaxed and looked after. We will definitely be giving this place another visit.

Lunch with my friend and I have to say I throughly enjoyed it. Plenty to choose from - sandwiches, toasties and soup etc and some fantastic looking cakes if you still have any room (I didn't!) I had a ham, mustard and tomato toastie with side salad and fantastic coleslaw. Will definitely return

Stumbled across this wee cafe by chance. Was greeted with a lovely warm welcome. The lady recommended the veg broth which didn’t disappoint. The homemade bread was to die for and the rum carrot cake was delicious. Will definitely return

Came in here for a lunch break while on the Lanark Heritage Trail. The name of the cafe is apt as it's set up like a traditional tearoom. A bit old school, but pleasant, bright and airy. All the new health guidelines were being observed with hand sanitiser, table space and face masks etc.I ordered a home made vegetable soup and also a (I think) marshmallow cheesecake. First off the soup was pretty poor. Really watery and salty. The former I didn't mind so much because it had generous amount of vegetables. I also asked for a glass of water, but still couldn't finish the soup. The cheesecake was delicious though.In fairness, when it came to the bill, the staff took money off the final bill, so kudos for that. I came here because of all the amazing reviews, but I was disappointed overall. I can't fault the service or customer focus and that's a credit to the staff.

Stopped by for a spot of lunch whilst staying in the area on holiday. Despite the Covid precautions in place we received a warm welcome from the staff, really good precautions in place without being ‘in your face’. Food is great, homemade soup, toasted baguettes and cakes to die for. A friendly and welcoming atmosphere which I would happily recommend.

We were travelling through Lanark on Saturday the 18th July. Stopped for a coffee and light lunch. Lovely food great selection and service with a smile. We also saw the Town Crier who was promoting the Tea Time. Well worth a visit if your in the area.

Arrived just after 3pm to find cafe still reasonably busy but found a table. Menus were already on the table but the 'Specials Board' was quite difficult to read from a distance. Service was quick and we were served exactly how we had requested. Many restaurants/cafes serve drinks straight away and this sometimes means they are finished or cold by the time the food is finished. Chicken Noodle Soup was excellent although it could have been served a bit warmer. Toasties were also very good. Staff were friendly and efficient and I have no hesitation in recommending this cafe.

Went in with a few of my friends for some coffee and a bite to eat and i couldn’t be happier with the service we received. All the staff were so lovely and friendly and the food was just delightful. Great value for money! Loved every minute of being there and Mary made my day. 10/10 would recommend!

Exceptional food and great service! The salt n pepper soup was delicious..defo be back! 5 stars *****

Went in for a breakfast, lovely staff, great food, nice large portion! couldnt even eat it all and that's saying something because I like eating! Good menu something for everyone no matter the time of the day.

Great little find, welcomed with a smile, lovely attentive staff, clean and wee run. Thoroughly recommend.

Recently visited tea time as heard it was under new ownership. From the moment I set foot in the establishment the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. Despite it being a busy lunch service they found us a lovely table and the service was brilliant. I had a toastie and my other half had the stack, we also had coffees. The coffees were the best I had in a while and we were both raving about the lunch we had for days after. The Food was faultless, as were the staff. We couldn’t resist the cake stand that displayed the lovely cakes as you enter the door, once finding out they were all freshly baked by staff we had to take some home - they also, unsurprisingly did not disappoint. I Would 100% visit Tea Time again.

Had a delicious coffee and cake in this beautiful cafe , such a wonderful atmosphere and met the owner who is the most accommodating and lovely host, will definitely be returning !

Have visited several times before and really enjoyed the food, service can be a bit hit or miss. Reason for poor score this time was the terrible food hygiene we witnessed. Most significant of which was the woman preparing the food. Not the usual woman. This woman firstly had very long nail and hair extensions neither of which were covered during food preparation. Worst of all after she put our cake on our plate she licked the cream off her fingers. After even had to check with my wife that I wasn’t mistaken in seeing this. She continued thereafter to prepare food. Yuck!!!!

First visit to Tea Time and won’t be my last, food was delicious, staff were very friendly and we were made to feel very welcome with my friends baby. Definitely worth a visit.

My friend and I walked in, sat down. I noticed a sign saying cash only. As the waitress came over to the table I commented I'd have to pop out and get some cash. Was completely blanked by the waitress. We got up and left. Went across the road to Le Petite Cafe. What an excellent cafe! So glad the staff was rude enough that we left, otherwise would not have enjoyed such an excellent late lunch!

Love a lunch here. At least three soups daily. Always interesting flavours as well as the traditional ones. Nice friendly place. Food made to order. Highly recommend it.

I was in Lanark visiting the superb war memorial hall. Just fancied a roll for lunch. Popped in here and got a ham and mayonnaise roll. Superb roll with a good portion of ham. Busy which is also a good sign.

This was not our first choice for lunch as outside looked bit tired but the Italian place down the side street only had lentil soup which for a Scots lass not liking, made us go back to this little place. Bit cramped inside but got a seat, staff friendly and service was good. Liked the fact they had 3 choices of soup, tasty tomato and chorizo, and took the option of a Cup of soup (that really was a small bowl) with pate, salad and option of toast or oatcakes. Really nice pate and also came with coleslaw. Quite filling and felt good value for £7. Only had one cake between us as so full, the homemade Gypsy Cream which was good. Not a great selection of homemade cakes but enough to choose one. Yes would recommend it and would come back, though did not take cards, only cash which could be a problem if you were not aware of? Toilet not great, but ok to be able to do what you need to do.

Everyone should visit this wee gem the food is always good and the cakes are great .. go and check it out

Visit from time to time. Food was as ever very good and reasonably priced. Particular highlight is the homemade cakes which are fantastic.

No better place for tea and cake in Lanark. Great homemade food and friendly service. Sweet or savoury it is all good.

We stopped in while visiting the area my dad and grandparents were born in before they came to the states. The tea was very tasty and smooth. I had a fruit scone. Delicious, my sister had carrot cake. She said it was very moist and tasty. Not sure what my husband had. He ate it so fast I didn't see it. The ladies were very helpful in guiding us around the area. Showed a great interest in why I was there. A very pleasurable meal.

We stopped to have a walk round Lanark following a trip to the Heritage Centre - but it started raining so we nipped in for hot chocolate and coffee. Delighted to enjoy a chocolate Easter cake too. What a treat.

I have been going to tea time for years , it is my go-to cafe in lanark. I rarely have a full meal but aware the menu has good options and staff are also helpful if you want a little flexibility re choice. Soups are very good and they often make a new recipe.

Entrance to the tearoom is not very good as they have a table and chairs outside blocking most of the pavement plus bins on the other side. However, tasty food with reasonable service although the seating area is extremely small making it rather cramped and noisy on a busy day. Not suitable for disabled as it is extremely cramped.

Called in for a bacon roll. £2.30 for a tiny roll and poor quality bacon. Sorry not on. My first and last visit.

Lovely tea room, generally friendly staff. Cakes to die for. Cant really fault them. We have been here several times and will defo be back 😊

My mum and I wandered in late on a Saturday afternoon and were welcomed nicely. Upon seeing us deliberating over the soups on offer we were offered a teacup of each to try before we made our decision - brilliant! Upon sampling the roast beef and Yorkshire pudding soup, sweet potato, chili and coconut soup and celery, apple and walnut soup (all very nice!) we still struggled to decide. But there was an option to help! My mum decided to have two small bowls of two of the soups with a lovely side salad and oat cakes with different toppings. I opted for the toastie of the day (black pudding, brie and sweet chili) which also came with a nice side salad. Everything tasted delicious!! Another customer who sat next to us took one look at our lunch and immediately said "I'll have what she's having" which I always think is a good sign!

Toastie was Ace. Rice crispie cake. Wow. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Reasonable pricing too

My daughter is a healthy eater and finds it difficult to find places who cater for her very plain taste, this seemed to be the place to go! She did choose from the menu then requested changes to the make up of the sandwich, the lady serving us was very helpful and carried out her request with no problem at all, the staff are extremely friendly, creating a very homely atmosphere,and the food was amazing, soup served hot and very tasty, sandwiches and salad very fresh and delicious, the cakes which are home made are a great finish to a great meal. Also Ideal to meet friends for a coffee and a treat.

Paramos para comer un bocado había una gran selección de comida caliente optamos por tostado baguettes, que venía con ensalada y col. Ensalada de carne picante muy agradable, y la otra era brie con cebolla chutney. Ambos tenían excelentes sabores y carne tierna. La selección del pastel era excelente, galletas empire, plazas helado, cheesecake tablet, grosellero oates, chocolate pasteles de arroz. . . . . La lista continúa teníamos un fondant fancie y algo más no puedo recordar lo que era, pero era también excelente.

Reciente visita a este salón de té. Los estándares de la comida sigue siendo tan bueno como siempre, especialmente las sopas. No sé, pero el que cocineros variedad y calidad son excelentes. Puedo recomendar el combo sandwich sopa; los bocadillos que están rellenos con cantidades generosas de llenado. La selección de pasteles y raciones son también excelentes. Puntos pequeños a sugerir: mujeres que sirven; una sonrisa wee iría un largo camino y el aseo está en necesidad de una renovación.

La hora del té que mejor horneados asadas, se llenan con el relleno de su elección y la ensalada y col son extremadamente sabrosa.

Very small cafe and not much room between tables, we shared a table with someone else on this occasion. The food is good, very hearty portions and cakes are yummy. Service efficient. On the whole a nice wee cafe.

Nice wee cafe just nipped in for a coffee and something to eat whilst waiting for a friend coffee was ok roll and sausage was nice

Was recommended to go here after visiting for the day, the outside of the building is not very inviting but it is nice inside. There were two tables left when we went in, and the group in front were deciding what table to have for most room as they wanted a highchair . The member of staff said to them will they hurry up and decide as people were waiting, not in the nicest manner. It is a bit cramped. The food however was very nice. Would i go again, probably not, because of the curt manner of the staff.

Have eaten here a few times when passing through Lanark. Would certainly recommend as a place to visit. Good food, efficient service and friendly staff.

Been to "tea time" few occasions . food is so delicious . We really enjoyed our lunch . staff were very helpful and friendly . Thank you all

Delicious lunch great value for money. A good variety on the menu. The staff are lovely and very friendly. Worth a visit.

Nice for a light lunch but it is a bit cramped! as it is usually busy probably because the food is really niceGood selection of light bites

Took my 2 year old for lunch, very accommodating and made a half sandwich portion for her. I had the coronation sandwich of the day which came with a generous tasty salad, really lovely!Staff are very chatty and really welcoming. Cake selection is outstanding, all freshly made! My daughter had one as scoffed the lot!Would return!

I reviewed this tea shop/ restaurant in October 2015, so I will not say too much but suffice it to say it's still a great place for a light lunch etc. The staff are unfailingly helpful and the food is totally delicious and imaginative too. It just goes on seeming better and better.

My friend and I stopped off in Lanark on a day trip looking for a cuppa. We parked at the top end of the main street and had to walk the full length of it to find this wee gem. We enjoyed a good pot of tea and a scone and pancake but the other cakes looked very appealing. The service was friendly and the costs reasonable. We were very impressed with the wee bottle of hand sanitizer on each table (which we'd never seen before) and the fresh flowers.

Four great lunches - soup and pulled beef sandwich for me, egg sandwich lovely and fresh, HUGE ham and pineapple salad - lots to it, and a bacon sandwich that was so good we needed a second. Lovely customer service and all for a very reasonable value.

This is a place I visit for time to time, the Soups are so unusual and full of flavour.Even if the place is full walk round the block it is worth the extra exercise.This time I went for Soup and full sandwich and to be honest it is a heart lunch. Steak Pie Soup was fantastic and so rich. Sandwich generously filled and lovely side salad. The coleslaw was extremely creamy.Staff always helpful and will chat if you want the chat.The only downside is it is small place but like I said worth a walk or extra shopping then revisit.If you have room after the lunch the cakes are beautiful.

This was a chance visit to Lanark, on route to Glasgow looking for a healthy tasty lunch (avoiding service stations!) As a very fussy customer, my gluten free and vegetarian needs were catered for fantastically and the staff were so friendly, helpful and accommodating. Absolutely delicious lunch for both myself and my much less fussy companion.

Been going here for 6 years, my daughter tasted her first mashed posts to here. And we still go a couple times a month to indulge in some of the best baking and lunches you could ask for. Staff are lovely the refurbished seating area is charming and your service is spot on.x

Absolutely love this place. Have been with the family, my mum, friends and everyone has always loved it. Not your run of the mill menu. Amazing variety of soups, nice specials, good choice of sandwiches etc. Great home baking with a selection of slices and a few cakes which are also often unusual flavours. Have been so many times and always love it.

saturday lunch time. busy and not a large place. prices are a wee bit high for whats on offer. but food is good and fresh made.

This great little tea-room is to be found in Hyndford Square to the south of St Nicholas church. The staff are always very pleasant and the service excellent. The lunches are great value from a good range of choices, but for me the highlight is the home baking and delightful teas and coffees. When visiting the historic Royal Burgh of Lanark this is an ideal place for a coffee- break or lunch. It is the sort of place that friends visit on a regular basis on account of its comfortable ambience.

Visited 'Tea Time' by pure luck while in Lanark. We asked a passer-by where there was a coffee shop and she pointed us in the direction of Tea Time. Had the most delicious lunch. We just had soup and sandwiches but all was utterly delicious. Beautiful home-made mushroom and apple soup, delicious fresh bread, ample filling and fresh salad (a bit more substantial than a 'garnish'). Well staffed, so not much waiting, even though freshly made. Good coffee too. Wish I lived nearby and could re-visit regularly. Just shows how even a simple light lunch can be a joy!

This is one of my favourite places to eat in Lanark. The food never disappoints. The soups are always exceptional and there is never a problem with tweaking things to cater for different requirements. There was a large group of us on this occasion and we had booked ahead... We were accommodated brilliantly. Portion sizes are ample and side salads are enticing. Great value for money!

We had snacks here of breakfast rolls and coffee. The food and drinks were excellent and the service cheery and quick. The down side was the toilets were in a poor state. I don't know if they had forgotten to check but I'm sure they would done have after one of the younger customers came out and highlighted the smell not only to his granny but to the whole restaurant.

When in Lanark taske time to seek out this hidden gem.. Tea Time is a fantastic little coffee house / cafe on the corner of Castlegate and just behind the Wallace statue. Tea Time boasts a comprehensive lunch and snack menu wonderfully prepared from locally sourced ingredients, and a beautiful array of very indulgent home baking.On this occasion I opted for a wonderful breakfast of Eggs Ecosse consisting of delightfully light and fluffy scrambled egg with Orkney cheddar cheese this was topped off with wonderful bacon and rested on that obligatory staple of any good Scottish breakfast....tattie scones. This along with a rich tasting cafe latte made for a wonderful breakfast that would easily sustain you until dinner time.The staff at Tea Time are incredibly friendly and attentive and only serve to enhance the experience. The cafe itself is immaculate and tastefully decorated and whilst modern maintains an old world charm. And a few Scottish design touches complete the ambiance.I am happy to recommend Tea Time as somewhere you will receive a warm welcome and excellent refreshments.

On a damp, soon to turn very wet, morning in Lanark, we decided that this seemed the best of the available coffee shops for some respite from the drizzle. We got a warm welcome and some pleasant coffee, plus (as there were no cakes suitable for my wife's dairy-free diet) a very attractive platter of fresh fruit and meringues. As others have said, the exterior is not particularly special, but the helpful attitude of the staff and the good coffee helps to keep it busy. If only we could persuade the catering trade (bar some very good exceptions on which I have previously reported) that it is possible to bake just as well using dairy-free ingredients.

Love this place. Always quick and friendly service. Food is amazing. Coleslaw is fabulous too. Always my first choice when in Lanark x

Really lovely freshly cooked delicious food. Made with quality ingredients. We had a breakfast which was scrumptious! Soda scone, eggs, black pudding, Lorne sausage, mushrooms, tomato. Not greasy just fresh and beautifully cooked. Great cup of tasty coffee and wonderful home baking! Always something new and interesting to try in the cakes etc. they have gluten free delicious options. I tried the dark chocolate and coconut tart. Very rich and delicious. They even have a sugar free cheese cake ! I keep going back to try all the different adventurous cakes they make! The staff are warm and friendly and care about the place, definitely worth a visit, again and again!!

huge portions of gorgeously tasty food and very well presented, the homemade cakes are divine if a bit too large! I think the only 2 negatives i would have about tea time are that they really need more seating room as it always full to bursting when i go and that if they cut the portion sizes down a little then maybe they could charge a little less as the price can be quite costly.

This little cafe doesn't look that much from the outside but once inside they serve excellent coffee and cakes. Looking at the menu it looks very promising for lunch. Service was very good and they even had daily papers and magazines to read

We popped in on a windy, damp morning when we were feeling buffeted and cold! The room was warm; the coffee and the cakes were very good indeed. A little more expensive than we expected - but Hey! - we enjoyed it and will return.

I had lunch here. Was so disappointed with a few aspects : The time we had to wait to be served and the manner of the staff . All very curt and unfriendly. Strange. Wont be back. The manner of the staff made enjoying our lunch hard . A smile costs nothing.

Have regular lunch time takeaways from here.Really nice people with probably the best soups, filled rolls and cakes in the area.Whilst it's a bit more expensive than similar looking places, it is well worth it for the quality of the goods provided.

Had a lovely family lunch maybe a little overpriced but all food well presented. Toilets could be better presented.

I have been to this café lots and I have never been disappointed.A unique menu and amazing cakes! The workers are so nice too.The breakfast menu is perfect, and the eggs ecosse (potato scones, scrambled egg, ramsays of carluke bacon and melted cheese is to die for!By far the best café in Lanark!!

Great little Café/Restaurant. Décor is nothing fancy, a bit basic, but it is well presented and tastefully done. Now onto the food.........Great! This place offers some of the best tasting and varied soups around; and you get a good sized portion. Not the spit in the bottom of the bowl that is commonplace. The menu is very good giving you a range of sandwich fillings that are a bit different but really tastey. There is menu for main courses which again is a bit different and has a bit of thought put into it. You also have the old favourites if you have a plain palette. The coffee is 'Illy' brand and it is made properly, not burnt as you find in a lot of places....well done ladies. And now the cakes.......oh dear! If you are on a diet or has a sweet tooth then best cover your eyes: tablet cheesecake must be a 1000 calories a slice, you have been warned. The service provided by the ladies is also of an excellent standard. All-in-all a super place to lunch/high tea or just a very well made coffee.

Food was acceptable for a cafe of this type but front of house staff let it down a little. Slow to clear dirty table - bringing second course before dirty plates from main course cleared away etc. Just a little more attention to detail would make a huge improvement.

Love the cakes here. Always lots to choose from. Also nice fry-up (but not greasy) breakfasts. Breakfast menu hasn't changed for ages but that's a positive thing as I like it the way it is. And lovely people of course as well. Despite the date I come here at least once a month and have done since it opened.

We just called in for a bowl of soup. Excellent, freshly prepared home-made food, Fully accessible for a wheelchair, with no awkward step. Friendly, helpful staff. Good prices. A cafe to recommend in Lanark, and where we intend to return. A really interesting menu selection, with interesting variations on standard cafe fare. All very tasty and of a very high standard..

This place was pointed out to us as a nice place to eat. The staff especially the owner were very friendly and though I only had a coffee and my husband had a coffee and melting moment they were very good. The menu looked interesting and different so I would defienately go back for lunch.

had lunch today had soda scone egg black pudding mushrooms and lorne sausage egg hard lorne sausage pink black pudding still had rind on it had to send sauce bottle back had conjeald mater on cap obviously not been cleane d for a while cups and saucers were needing replaced toilet clean butsink had old rusty marks on it and toilet was rusty they never asked us if we enjoyed our meal i think they knew we were not happy ps why have they got an old dirty fire in the window sorry nil points

It is small but the food is always excellent, especially the home-made and interesting soups. I totally disagree with the comments by Screenjunki, and know that the food is locally sourced. The staff are very welcoming and helpful.

we spotted this cafe just off the high street when looking for a bite to eat , plenty parking in this area , warm welcome with friendly staff , plenty on the menu to choose from , i went for the Egg Caledonia for lunch and it was fantastic , my partner had a toastie which came with more fresh salad than she could eat !! good food for fair prices

I was recently in Lanark and had a recommendation to go to Tea Time for lunch. I was left disappointed. The crockery needs replaced, it was old and stained. The menu was good but maybe a little pricey. The staff were the best thing about the place. Sadly the scone that I had was CLEARLY bought from a bakers (and not sold to me at the bakers prices) and it was certainly not one of the home made ones that I was given the recommendation over. The cake cabinet had some great looking cakes but some of the tray bakes looked as if they had been bought in as well. I wouldn't rush back. I prefer a home baked freshly produced cafe.

Only downside of Tea Time is that it's small but you don't have to be big to be good.Yummy cakes and an interesting selection of soups which change on a daily basis.I'd only visit two coffee shops in Lanark and along with The Wallace Tearoom round the corner, Tea time hits the spot.

I have visited Tea Time 10+ times and the only down side is it's not bigger so I can sit in every time. A small but bustling cafe filled with tempting cakes and pastries they always have something new to try along with all the old favourites like tiffin and meringues. All sold along side a savoury menu of soups, sandwiches, salads and hot filled rolls. Get here before the lunchtime rush to guarantee a seat.

Excellent food-unusual but welcoming soup choices. Delicious flavours in everything you can order.Endless choice of cakes.Service is excellent also. So friendly and accommodating.Cannot recommend enough I will definitely be back next time I visit!!

As regulars of this quaint lovely cafe I thought it high time I came on here to give it the praise it deserves.The menu is simple with fresh locally sourced ingredients and a great selection of daily specials.In particular I recommend trying the variety of weird but wonderful soups that sound like they shouldn't work,but just do.The 'soup guru' as she is named sees to this with a knowledge for palette second to none,the sandwiches and baguettes on offer are fresh and tasty also,and the cakes are just to die for.My only problem is deciding what to eat as I'm always afraid of missing out,such is the high quality on offer,and the staff are always on hand with a friendly welcome.In short,If you're anywhere near Lanark it's a must visit.

We were passing, it was mid-morning and we fancied a brew. The cafe was clean and there was a lovely array of homemade cakes so we felt obliged to sample them. I can vouch for the chocolate eclairs and the melting moments. The staff were very pleasant and I would certainly go back

Fantastic for Scottish breakfasts, lunch and cakes. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Best place in lanark to stop for a coffee. This is a very popular wee cafe so it is usually very busy if not full at lunchtime.

Welcoming staff, very well located with a great view of the lower high street. Very well priced and great food. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I always look forward to my leave as I know I'll get a great bite to eat here :)

This cafe had a great atmosphere and amazing food. Could not fault it! Lovely cakes and a massive selection of food. Also not sure if the bad review down below was a mix up for another cafe in the area as Tea Time does not gave any place mats and the staff are all very helpful! :)

Another great lunch at tea time. A wonderful cafe with very friendly staff. My toddler was well catered for and my baked potato was delicious :)Lovely cakes, a different one to try every time you visit What more can you ask for.Well done tea time!

This place looked inviting enough especially to take my grandmother for some tea and cakes. However once seated, I found it to be although quite a small tightly packed space, there should never be an excuse for having unclean table matts and crumbs not cleaned from the table. Staff did not seem to be very helpful when asking about menu options and quite grumpy and all looked rather unhappy to work there. Felt rather uncomfortable as they seemed to glare in our direction for the remainder of our stay. Regardless below average food and would never dream of going back!

A wonderful café and just what was needed at the end of a long walk. Friendly staff with large selection of food and delicious cakes.

Central, bright, welcoming, very clean, lovely food and good choice, price just right, staff great - will definitely be back to try some more cakes! Oh, and the baked potatoes are scrummy.

Lovely little place to visit for lunch great cakes staff where friendly and helpful only issue is lack of space and comfortable seating.

In lanark to have a walk round the Glenmuir factory for golfing bargins. We got parked in the parking spaces across from theTea Time so we just popped in for a spot of lunch. A lovely little tea room. We all had the same ciabbata special it came with a lovely fresh salad and home made coleslaw and was very tasty. Will definately return next time we are in Lanark.Mary Lynda Dot
