The Honeybee Bakery in East Dunbartonshire

Popped in for a coffee late afternoon - very wet day! just for a coffee - the flat white was excellent in fact one of the best coffee i'd had for a while, coupled with friendly service. I didnt eat anything but the cakes looked excellent. Thanks

Very friendly staff. Great baked goods and cakes. They will also bake birthday and other cakes to special order and they are very nice--see their facebook page for examples. On the rare nice, clear and sunny day it's pleasant to sit outside and people=watch.

A very friendly little bakery and coffee shop. Great selection of excellent cakes, will box for takeout. They custom made a beautiful cake for my wife’s birthday. I regularly have a coffee and cake—pleasant atmosphere and no rush. Good service. Highly recommended.

Recommended by a friend and honeybee bakery did not disappoint! Amazing service, great staff and incredible cakes - what's not to love!! I will be passing on this recommendation to anyone who will listen.

Yum!!! This little bakery has a tonne of choices, some very decadent. Bring a sweet tooth for sure. Great coffee and friendly staff.

The honeybee is just amazing - the only issue you will have is what to choose! Great service, happy and friendly staff and perect surroundings. All in all great experience.

It was the first thing you came by walking from the train to the centre. It is al covered in pink and really cute. I was glad i stoppen here because the scone and tea was delicious! Relaxed surrounding and happy staff. I found the prices normal and worth it.

Wow! Awesome birthday cake. Asked for a birthday cake in the shape of the collosseum for my wife's birthday. It surpassed all my expectations and, most importantly, my wife loved it. The attention to detail was stunning. Price was very good given the quality and size of the cake. Felt bad about having to cut it up to let people eat but it also tasted great. Couldn't be happier with the service.

Beautiful looking from outside and very quaint inside looks ideal for a coffee and a chat, however it is very overpriced, focaccia was tasteless and hard. Sorry won’t be back.

Ordered a birthday cake for my daughters. Everything went well until we went to eat the cake. It was awful. The sponge was not right. It was hard, grainy and there was a strange smell. The strawberry's come to think of it, on top were not fresh either. I had collected it on the saturday as they were not open on sunday's. Like everyone else, we have bought lots of cakes over years. No issues. Emailed in and was told that the cake was fine. It was just me. The owner said they made other cakes out the same batch. There is no evidence other than feedback from paid employees and invisable customers. No refund was going to be paid out but i was offered 20% off. Cunning way of getting me to pay again. No thank you. Once bitten, twice shy. Then the guilt was laid on to stop me putting a review up of it being a small business. But, the cake was paid for from our small business. Was made to feel embarrassed infront of our guests and the girls were upset. £45, plus fuel and time. Wasted!!!!

Absolutely nothing to complain about. Perfect service. Perfect seating. Fresh cold ice cream and nice brownie

Food was good, cakes were lovely and service was polite and efficient. On a nice sunny day, the tables outside were all taken but there was plenty of room inside.

Lovely bakery with very friendly staff .Coffee is great as is the home baking. lovely clean Shop and Covid friendly.

Nice little cafe which bakes its own artisan breads,quiches and cakes. Went for coffee/tea and cake. Portuguese vanilla tarts nice. Good value as cake and 2 rounds of tea/ coffee only just over £5. Would have given 5 stars but was concerned floor seemed sticky and not too clean.

This is one of my favourite places for cake! I live in Glasgow but it's well worth the train trip to have a cake and cuppa at The Honeybee Bakery. There's always a new sweet goodie to try and their savouries (pizza, focaccia and quiche) are excellent as well. There's a lovely atmosphere in the cafe, there's plenty of space to sit without feeling crowded and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. They also do take-away - so make sure you bring some cake (or pizza!) with you home!

While waiting to check into our hotel, we strolled by this bakery in downtown area and were intrigued. Cute space. Stopped in for coffee, and a smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich. Excellent! They also offer soups and salads. Great looking desserts as well. Upstairs there are toys for children.

Great coffee, lovely home baking and a nice atmosphere to meet friends. Parking can be a little tricky but worth the effort.

I ordered a birthday cake for my wife's 60th. I wanted an autumn leaves theme as my wife paints and does eco printing. I originally spoke to one of the staff at the bakery who gave me the baker's (Victoria) email address and said I could contact her with details of what type of cake I wanted. After a few emails back and forth we decided on the design and the cake was ready on the date in question. I have to say my wife was delighted with the design and my two grown up children together with my wife and I really enjoyed the cake which was very fresh and absolutely delicious. Would definitely use them again for other special occasions.

I went with my 3 children and mother in law.she isnt easily pleased so when she said they were the best cakes she had tried i knew it had to be good. The staff were very smiley and helpful and there is a great play area upstairs for children!

Popped in for coffee and cake I had the carrot pineapple and coconut and my partner had the lotus biscof with a flat white. Cakes were fresh and delicious coffee was perfect. A great place to unwind.

The cakes are lovely with a really good selection. The cakes are really moist and succulent and ideal with a tea or coffee if in the precinct.

We used the Honeybee Bakery to create a birthday cake for my Dad's birthday. They listened carefully to our requirements and offered lots of suggestions based on their knowledge and skill. Although a little bit pricey, we honestly could not believe what was created for us! It was a master piece and something family will be taking about for years to come! Cake was delicious! Have also been in several times since to pick up a wee treat. They have a great selection of freshly baked breads and sweet treats. Definitely worth the visit! Staff are lovely and obviously love working there!

Visited Honeybee last week with friend for lunch. Very enjoyable, soup very tasty served with lovely bread. Selection not cakes makes it difficult to choose. Service friendly and helpful. Will definitely visit again.

Visited the cafe today. Ordered a scone and a pot of tea. When paying noticed cost of scone was £2.25 and only 60p to takeaway. Surely this is a ridiculous mark up. They were charging £3 for some lunch dishes don't see the justification for such exuberant price for scones.

My friend and I visited The Honeybee Bakery this week with my granddaughter, as we had heard good for little ones with toys and space to play

Whilst the lunch was ok (limited menu) their main focus was definitely coffee and cake. The cafe itself could really do with a good clean as everywhere was grubby-too much to account for a busy day. The carpet up the stairs was filled with debris, similarly the chair cushions downstairs too. If the paintwork and skirting boards had a wipe down, they’d look so much better. I’m no snob and am at home in cheap and cheerful but I really was put off by the grubby interior.

Hier gibt es eine große Auswahl an guten Kuchen. Das Café ist liebevoll und typisch britisch eingerichtet.

Cakes are fine, lovely empire biscuits. Cafe requires a good clean, skirting and floor requires a good deep clean, couch cover was filthy we removed it. One of the very young girls serving is so rude.

A slice of lovely home made quiche with a small salad and the treat of an ice cream float and all for £5:50.... no complaints at all!

Great freshly made cakes and coffee. Ideal for anyone as there is bound to be a cake that someone will love.

Loved this cafe which had wonderful bakery goods and lunch. There is a kids playroom upstairs and they can get a "Babycino" of warm milk with froth served in a small cup and saucer! Got the pizza for lunch and others got desserts with ALL being very good. When I visit Scotland again, i won't miss going to the Honey Bee!

Right on the edge of Milngavie precinct this is a quirky bakery and cafe. All home made goodies in a nice setting, a bit different from the chain coffee shops. Very friendly staff.

We dropped in for coffee & a cake at the end of a long walk. The coffee and cake were delightful. It is quite a small place not too many tables but, nice and friendly. The potato and rosemary bread which I bought to take home was very much lacking in salt though.

Looked inviting from outside but cold draughty inside and so disturbing noise due to too many mothers and toddlers making mess upstairs and crowding lower floor. Felt like at a mums and baby group so spoiled quiet lunch my friend and I were seeking. Soup was cold and mediocre no gluten free bread or oatcake alternatives. Coffee cold and bitter so not on our list to ever visit again.

Some good baking, but steamy seating space and coffee were odd. Coffee was more hot milk than coffee. Soup generous but thin. Service friendly.

Windows obscured by condensation do not give a good look and the cafe was too cold on what was a cold day. The array of cakes and breads (to take away) is attractive but the coffees we had were the sort of milky coffees my late mother liked and I do not. No real coffee flavour in the flat white which should benefit from a double shot. The soup was watery but the bread was fine. It looks twee but it falls down on too many issues.

Great location for this quirky bakery and cafe. We love it. Beautiful baking, great service and lovely staff. Enjoyed coffee and Portuguese tart, we could easily have been in Lisbon! Very good baking. Returning soon.

What a lovely place for a leisurely coffee with something delicious besides! A very pleasant atmosphere and quick service.

Called in with wife and daughter for lunch. Between us we had soup, quiche and cheese on toast. The food was all delicious. We finished off with some giant meringues and cream, absolutely delicious. Lovely staff as well.

Decided to try here for a quick lunch friends had recommended it.

Lovely little place for cake and coffee or a light lunch. Nice homely setting, serving lovely home baked products, to both eat in and then take some home to enjoy. Always busy despite all the competition with places to eat in Milngavie.

My daughter and I decided we would go for dinner here with her friend I'd never been before but they had and both said it was nice. The pub it's self is lovely it's located in the countryside adjacent to a lake. We entered the building through the main entrance and waited to see if we could just sit down and order or wether they placed you after a few minutes of no one acknowledging us we decided to sit down my daughter and her friend went to get a drink from the bar upon there return a waitress appeared and asked if we were ready to order which we did she the food was brought out the girl went to the wrong table and then stood looking to where it was supposed to go she finally walked over and placed two meals down we thought she would be straight back with the 3rd but she served another table first and 5 minutes later brought the 3rd meal the meal was of poor quality i had a Cajun burger that was not quite cooked enough and was chewy I'd asked for cheese on which was just grated cheese and had cost 99p the chips were greasy and not nice at all I hardly ate any my daughter's food was not much better and her friends said it tasted like vinegar we decided to go sit outside so my daughter went to the bar to pay she told them the meal wasn't nice and that we had all left most of it he called the manager over who said "well what do u want me to do " she said what can u do for me his reply was nothing now I don't know if it was because she is young or what but customer service isn't hard if u want people to return u don't treat them like an idiot hence we will not be returning to this pub again an apology would of been nice but all she got was rudeness......not acceptable at any age ?

I have not been in here for a while and was so disappointed . The actual food ,baking and bread is still really good as is the service and coffee,however the girls serving both at till and tables, all had long hair whilst tied up had no nets on,hair swishing everywhere. The decor ,chairs and tables were dirty,downstairs doors to cupboards? Filthy, up stairs not any better ( I realise that there is a leak problem) but this was not the problem,its the whole general appearance of the coffee shop.At the side of the counter was badly needing a good clean.I returned again thinking it was just a bad day before. This was noir the case ..We were both seeing the same things letting what was a good experience in the past. I would love to be back but not till its spruced up.I do regret that this was our thoughts ,but rather than let it go perhaps the owners can fix this and we can return again to enjoy the lovely baking etc.

Friends and I ordered the open salmon sandwich and soup. A meagre amount of salmon and cream cheese was served on toasted sour dough bread, no salad. very basic, not great. My friend ordered and enjoyed the homemade soup. We were very disappointed and would not recommend the sandwich. We have all enjoyed the beverages and cakes.

Mi amigo y yo decidimos tratar a nuestros tres años de té de alta calidad para sus cumpleaños. Nos habíamos visto yendo a la ciudad, pero con dos a tres años y seis meses de dos años que no podía ser molestado con el lío de parking, etc.

Gran experiencia, todo el personal era encantador, amable y sabía que el menú parece que he probado todas las tartas así kew de lo que estaban hablando. La cocción se hace en casa y se puede ver y probar que sólo un buen uso de ingredientes de calidad, por lo tanto, ¿por qué saben tan bien! Hay una gran zona de juegos para los niños y los precios eran justos.

I was recently in with my husband and had cake and coffee. I had sponge cake with raspberries. When it arrived at the table it was the smallest piece of cake I have ever seen. 2 spoonfuls and it was gone. We said to the waitress and her reply was we know it's small so we have only charged you £2.25. I couldn't believe it. £2.25 for 2 very small mouthfuls. I'm only sorry I didn't take a photo to show people. Extremely disappointing. I wouldn't go back.

I have been several times and cannot find fault with the place. The staff are extremely nice and helpful and the cakes are delicious. There is a lovely play area upstairs which keeps the children entertained. I would highly recommend the chocolate cheesecake brownie and the empire biscuit. The bread and the soup always smell delicious and it is very reasonably priced. I plan on returning on a regular basis

Lovely little cafe and staff. Only down side is limited menu but good if you just want a small snack. Cakes seem nice and soup mostly nice but can be little bit of miss. There is a small play area up stairs so good if you have children but not so much if you have a pram. Definitely a place to try.

Popped in today for fab coffee and sweet treats whilst enroute to Mugdock Country Park. Was just around corner from train station. Girls serving were most pleasant and patient with boys deciding what treat to have. Didnt eat in but cute and quirky.

Busy little cafe .. great atmosphere!! Real mix of customers Great coffee .. amazing cakes !! Lovely staff .. will definitely be back Thanks ☺️☺️☺️

Enjoyed a nice afternoon here with friends and our toddlers. There is a nice small play area with some toddler toys. Although if older children it wouldn't appeal as much. Coffee was ok and cheese on toast was very very good and reasonably priced. Will go back

Just loved the decor and Honeybee image, unusual cakes with lovely coffee - real feelgood factor about this place, between the caffeine in the coffee, sugar in the cakes and the ambience of the cafe this place is bound to cheer you up!

Great place to grab some quality home baking style cakes. Nice selection available and the staff are friendly and efficient. Personal recommendation of Empire Biscuits which a re a fave of mine and the ones here are the best Ive ever had. Massive, thick biscuit base and lots of jam/icing - superb!

If you want professional hospitality, top artisan bakery and a warm family welcome this is the place for you.

Excelent mocha, and flat white. Never had a chance to try any of the savoury offerings but they did look very appitising. The cake we had was very well baked, large portion, and very good value for money compared to other coffee shops. The settings are very "laura ashley", nice and welcoming.

Not being a regular visitor to Milngavie this was first visit here and was attracted by the homely decor and the look of the home baking...not disappointed as the food was delicious! I had home made soup which came with soft homemade bread, my daughter had focaccia bread with chorizo, rocket and mozzarella (I think!) and we each had a coffee. Very reasonably priced and excellent, friendly service from everyone! Will definitely recommend to friends!

The address of this cafe is listed in Milngavie in the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park. For anyone who does not know the area, Milngavie is the starting point of the West Highland Way long distance walk but it is not in the National Park area.Having said that it is a great little cafe managed by the family of the owner who runs the bakery.The bread and cakes are top notch and with some interesting variations of recipes.The upstairs area has a childrens play area with the understandable distractions.A previous reviewer has commented on the dirty stair carpet which still has not been replaced and the staircase does not have a handrail.The cafe has a nice cosy feel but on a recent visit it was quite chilly. Maybe they do not put the heating on until November. THE food and drink are still great.

What a lovely wee cafe bakery eatery type place. Really lovely cosy decor and THE CAKES!!! Had soup (whixh was really good)and a sandwich and then just had to choose a cake from the most delicious range imaginable. Well worth a visit. Will definitely be back. We sat downstairs but there are tables upstairs too. Really enjoyed people watching through the window. Excellent coffee too. A wee gem. Reasonably priced.

Visited Milngavie for the first time in many years and had a lovely coffee and fruit scone in this quirky bakery and restaurant. Will be back for lunch as their menu looked great. Bought one of their freshly baked French loaves to take home which was delicious

I visited Milngavie after viewing the Antonine Wall In Bearsden and I was just looking for a pleasant place for a coffee and snack. Coming up from the station the 'Honeybee' catches your eye and after a walk around the shopping area it certainly seemed the most welcoming place to visit. Lovely appearance - old fashioned in a very good way - lots of cake icing displays in the window that the passing children and adults were drawn to. Maybe remove the somewhat negative sign about touching the cakes - it doesn't sit well with the overall ambience. They have lots of cakes - no surprise there - and they sell honey. Staff were very smart and I was served promptly and very correctly - well trained staff. The coffee came in big cup/mugs and was very good - hot milk in small milk bottles - quaint.

Nice cakes. Decor very fresh and sunny. Not good for lunch. Soup runs out. No home cooking. Food microwaved and sometimes over heated. Do not recommend for lunch. Coffee and cake maybe. Disappointing.

Have been meaning to visit for some time since the opening of this local business. Finally had a chance to pop in for a coffee with a friend and was certainly not disappointed! The staff were very friendly and had a great selection of cakes and breads on offer. Proper coffee, which was much appreciated.

Love this cafe for a coffee & scone! Lovely setting inside and food is yummy! Plenty space for a Pram and they have juice for kids. Will be back!

Nice little place in Milngavie with friendly staff. Decor is "shabby chic" style which is lovely but I think they could benefit from wooden floors throughout as light carpet on the stairs looks a bit dirty. Tables seem to have a sticky feel although they are wiped clean constantly so not sure why. I wouldn't order cappuccino again as the cups are small and there is very little coffee in them; mostly frothy milk. Bigger cups are definitely required. Although there are some issues, I do like this place and will return as it has a quaint feel about it and is bright, airy and very welcoming. The cakes are delicious so with a few little tweaks it could be perfect! Worth a visit.

Excellent service with friendly staff. Wide choice of Honeybee bread, cakes, scones etc from this highly recommended patisserie. Excellent seating arrangements with adequate personal space. Coffee VG too.

Popped in here for a quick lunch one weekend. Roasted veggies soup was delicious as were the cakes we tried. We also bought a loaf of bread which was pretty decent. Pretty interior too.

It's a bakery, so it comes as no surprise that the cakes are knock out. Just as importantly to me the coffee is good. The best served in Milngavie by a long, long way.(Pompous moment: If you're a drinker of the bucket-sized coffees of Starbucks and Costa the coffees here may disappoint. If you possess tastebuds, however, this is the coffee for you.)Lunch choice is limited, and I've never gone to Honeybee seeking lunch, so I can't comment on how good it is. However, I say, go on indulge yourself. You've earned cake. Not only that you've earned good cake, really good cake. Why waste treat-time with substandard when you can choose the best.

As my husband & son were starting The West Highland Way & I was passing time I called into The Honeybee Bakery for a pot of tea. I couldn't resist a piece of the homemade coconut & pineapple carrot cake it was delicious. There was so much verity & the girls that work there are so pleasant & polite.

Could not fault service, selection or quality of everything we had. Savoury and sweet food, hot and cold drinks - all gorgeous and generous servings. Everything is homemade and you can taste it. Staff very attentive and the decor is really nice -tasteful and just right for an afternoon lunch/tea. Cakes in the window are gorgeous and really well priced for a special occasion too ......if you're in Milngavie pop in - definitely worth a visit ;).

This lovely bakery also does the most wonderful scones on earth,they have tables outside in the summer ,great bread and they sell Eds Bees honey made in Glasgow which is fantastic if you like honey

The place is nicely decorated and looked to have a decent selection of cakes, we however dropped in for a coffee which to be honest was pretty average and nothing special for the price.

From the minute we entered with a double buggy, we were made to feel welcome and accommodation was found for us at a table with friends. The coffees, teas and cakes were delicious and we didn't feel at all rushed to leave. A place to relax with excellent home baking.

Excellent place to go to in Milngavie for coffee and cake, really good coffee with a large selection of home made cakes too...

A great place to go for delicious food, especially the great selection of interesting cakes! The friendly staff always make you feel very welcome. Good value for money too.

Sat upstairs in this bakery. Bright and spacious. Noisy downstairs with babies crying. Soup and bread were delicious as were home baked cakes. Lovely staff. Will definitely return.

I recently engaged with Vittoria at Honey Bee Bakery to arrange a cake for my parents Golden Wedding Anniversary.We had a number of discussions and exchanged emails to ensure the cake was exactly as I wanted. Nothing was too much trouble.The cake was beautiful, and incorporated mum and dad's initials to match the invitations.Both my parents, and a number of the guests commented that the cake was delicious.I am delighted, and would recommend Honey Bee Bakery.FS

Lovely atmosphere and comfortable surroundings. The staff always are so smiley and chatty, really brighten up your day! The cakes and bread are always lovely and fresh and yummy. A real favourite :)

Such lovely staff and really delicious bakes I think this is a wonderful addition to Milngavie and if you're looking to stop off for a mid afternoon cake and coffee this place is top of the list. If you're stopping in also try buy a loaf to take home (very reasonable and 100% better than anything from the supermarket)

Came here for a wee afternoon break - nice coffee and great selection of cakes. Nice atmosphere and worth sitting upstairs. Had some crumb cake too which sponge was a little dry but with the 'crumb' topping was great. Would definitely come back again!

If you fancy a walk through Milngavie or even a walk along the West Highland Way or the new Clyde Coast walkway, a trip to the HONEYBEE BAKERY should not be missed. We called in for morning coffee and freshly baked scones with butter and jam. Great service from young girl bursting with enthusiasm, what a start, fantastic, I hope all the local and foreign walkers experience this delightful purveyor of excellent food and coffee.After a four hour walk along the West Highland Way on a circular route back to Milngavie, which was just delightful, we decided to have a light lunch at the HONEYBEE BAKERY, this made our day. Great pizza and toasted cheese, coffee and tea. On leaving we just had to buy the freshly baked FRENCH CROWN LOAF, ( Italy and France are not the only countries to have good bread, so they say.)We just loved how the HONEYBEE BAKERY served us with great food and coffee, we will be back. In fact we feel a walk coming on pretty soon.George and Geraldina

first time in today, was really lovely inside, bright and modern. my friend had brought her two year old and there's a wee section upstairs with toys and cake decorating things which kept her occupied!didn't try a cake today (will definitely be back to try though!) just had a hot choclate and pizza, and as pleasantly surprised when we went to pay at the price at - we thought it must have been written wrongly on the board! Staff were also very friendly and welcoming.would recommend and will definitely be back!

Stopped off here for a cup of tea whilst on a day out. First thing that struck me was the pleasant staff-extremely nice, friendly and chatty. The cakes looked positively scrumptious. Hot foods consisted of Pizza slices and quiche. Sandwiches available too. Very bright and fresh decor, clean and comfortable. If we return to Milngavie, we will definitely head for this tea shop.

The staff were friendly even though we were carrying cases and rucksacks, found us a table and the waitress service was excellent. There was a wide range of cakes which were delicious. Thank you for being so welcoming

Spotted this on our day before we set out on the West Highland Way. Got some quiche and stuffed buns. Both were most excellent.

I tried the Honeybee Bakery for the first time a couple of weeks ago and I haven't been able to stay out of it since. The children LOVE the cakes and are constantly dragging me in on their way home from school and with fresh goodies being baked everyday, I am spoiled by choice every time I go in. Their fruit scones are to die for and the cheesecake brownies are a big hit with the kids. I always look forward to going in to see what new delicious thing they've added to their menu that I can try. Me and my friends have now started meeting there regularly on weekends for brunch where we sit for hours with our cakes and coffee. The ladies who work their are always so friendly and have now started recognising me as a regular customer which is always nice. The shop has a beautiful and quaint decor which gives a rustic, home-made family friendly feel to it. I believe it is the only place in Milngavie where you can get great food and drink for a reasonable price. It is definitely the gem that Milngavie has been missing.

If you want authentic Italian/French breads focaccia and cakes, then you MUST visit this bakeryYoung family business who make it obvious that the customer comes firstBread and cakes are truly scrumptious, truly delicious. Staff always very friendly. I make sure I visit at least a couple of times a week

Cakes, scones poor and overpriced. It's staff are poorly trained and are not sure about the prices too charge. We will not return.

We need more places like this, just love it. It's so refreshing to be able to purchase lovely fresh produce. I passed the window and did a double take when I saw their Empire Biscuits. They were reasonable proceed, huge and absolutely delicious, best I've tasted. Staff looked lovely, very efficient and place spotless. well done.

Recently visited this new Bakery in Milngavie, and I have to say, what a hidden gem of a place! Amazingly friendly, attentive and knowledgeable staff made us all feel very welcome and talked us through the extensive menu of wonderful sweet and savory options.The food itself is to die for. The scones were out of this world, and still warm out of the oven, the waitress informed us that these are the final product baked before the place opens in the morning, you cant get fresher than that!We also tried the brownies, absolute heaven! Would highly recommend the cheesecake option!The coffee was amazing, made to perfection by their Italian barista, this place really has it all! To top it all off the decor is really beautiful, and to find out its a family run affair, who's owner recently won young business person of the year for the area is simply brilliant. 5 STARS would recommend to anyone and cannot wait to visit again!

Really pricey and, sorry, awful coffee. The roast itself is a good quality but it's just always been way too hot, ruining the taste. But then again, cakes are lovely (if a bit small for the price) service is good and I'm looking forward to the improvements that are going to be made with the owner getting more experienced.

I celebrated my 50th birthday this weekend and my partner had ordered a birthday cake from the Honeybee Bakery, Milngavie, for delivery on Saturday 1st August. The cake was delivered on Friday 31st July (earlier than expected) however the cake appeared to have been decorated by an infant. The decoration on the cake was not what had been requested and was a disgrace! My partner then requested that the decoration be removed and (given the short timescale left) be replaced with a simple 'Happy 50th Birthday Donna' in red lettering. The cake was redelivered at 5pm on the 1st August with 'Happy 50th Birthday Penny' decorated on the cake. I was horrified when I saw the cake and further horrified at the owners attitude when I called to complain. While the cake was then altered for a 3rd time the overall experience was shocking and not the cake that was requested when the order was placed. It was only after a very heated phone call that the cake was amended at the eleventh hour and a full refund was made. I would most definitely not recommend placing an important order in the hands of this business.

Everything about this Tearoom/Bakery seems just so right. The decor is perfect and each detail about the Honeybee seems to have been chosen for no other reason than to delight the customer.Seating is on two levels and there are a few tables and chairs on the outside pavement.. In the upstairs seating area is an archway which leads to a small play corner for children which includes a doll's house.A pot of tea is a very reasonable £1.90p and the melt in the mouth empire biscuit just £1.20p. Carrot cake is delicious. They also serve pizza slices,focaccia etc.It is hard to leave the honeybee tearoom without buying some of the bread and cakes or the locally produced Glasgow honey from Ed's bees.This bakery is well worth a visit. www.thehoneybeebakery.co.uk

The Honeybee is doing something right! We have been in for morning coffee twice now. This morning every seat was taken, including the three outside table. However, the friendly staff very quickly found another chair and we were able to enjoy the fresh hot coffee.The range of cakes, scones and tray-bakes is superb an moderately priced. For example a small cupcake was only 70p.If you want a quick snack lunch - come here! The roll filled with chorizo and mozzarella is delicious (the filling i put into the roll BEFORE the roll is baked!)We shall certainly be ack!

My husband and myself popped in here for lunch one day thinking that we would have got a sandwich or something and were disappointed to see we could only have a scone or cake. The scones were lovely however and the coffee was hot!If they could stretch to doing a sandwich at lunchtime it would make a return visit from us more likely.

A great little bakery / tearoom which seems to be a family run establishment. Ladies who lunch will love the floral and white decor which works well with the teapots, sandwiches and wide range of cakes. A frind and I had afternoon tea there and shared two cakes so we could try different things We can recommend the peach Madeira slice and the vanilla brownie!

Nice tea room but really felt quite small due to the layout of the tables. Scone tasted fine but very small for the price and have to say I didn't know they made tea pots that small - one small cup of tea was all you got. Better places in Milngavie for a cuppa. On the plus side the freshly baked breads etc looked lovely as did the fresh donuts

This Bakery, very new to the village of Milngavie, is an absolute delight! The range of cakes is amazing, the breads are wonderful and the seating/ decor is comfortable to the eye as well as weary bones.My granddaughter loves the play area for kids, there is a "reading nook" and a decorating room for supervised adornment of shortbread Russian Dolls or Gingerbread men with a huge variety of icings, glitter, marshmallows etc.The staff are attentive and friendly, I notice it has taken no time for this new coffee shop to become a busy place

The range and quality of the home made cakes is fantastic. The atmosphere is lovely, great mix of seating. Very relaxed place. Staff are friendly and helpful. Definitely be back.

The Honeybee Bakery is a very attractive new bakery cafe. A wide range of cakes, pastries, scones etc. are produced on the premises and served - with excellent coffee - in the pleasant two storey cafe. The building is from the 19th century.Specialist breads add to the range of products sold for home consumption. Our favourite so far is the French crown. Most spectacular are the special occasion cakes - for weddings, birthdays and the like. We have not yet tried these but the display adds to the atmosphere!Service is very pleasant and friendly. Good for children.
