We had the Classic Afternoon Tea - filling, varied and exactly as promised including the huge meringue with strawberry, and some lovely teas. Of course it was the Charles Rennie Mackintosh experience/decor/furniture we were after so it was a reasonably priced and all in all a nice afternoon. Visited the gift shop and had a splurge - reasonable quality and well priced souvenirs, spent well so a little miffed to be charged for a bag. We finished the day by visiting the Mackintosh House at the Hunterian Museum and their gift shop not nearly as well stocked.

After our visit to Macintosh house we were excited to try the Willow Tea Rooms. We loved the high backed chairs and lighting that were prominent in the Macintosh designs. Staff were lovely and the cakes were very nice. Definitely recommend to anyone that is a Macintosh lover or who has visited Glasgow for a short break

Éramos dos. Uno solo tenía té y bollo, que estaba bien. ¡Tenía los macarrones que eran como sopa! Nunca he comido macarrones "mocosos". ¡Tuve que pedir pan para comerlo ya que había tanto líquido! Cuando llegó la factura, el cargo por servicio ya estaba agregado al igual que £ 1 para el NTS sin preguntar si quería pagarlo! Creo que deberían preguntar antes de añadir.

Very disappointed and confused as to when this tea room is actually open until. It seems to be whatever mood they’re in. When you Google it says they close at 5:30 on a Thursday and on trip advisor, open until 6:30 on Thursdays. I was with 1 friend and along with 6 other possible customers we proceeded up the stairs at 5:05 to be told they were closing early today? Was it just that day or in general when open until 5:30 they close at 5:05? We said we only wanted a cup of tea no food and would be done by 5:30 but not interested. If you go into a shop or supermarket that closes at 5:30 they are open to 5:30 not 5:05 very unusual managing of a business.

We went for lunch at the Willow Tea Rooms in Glasgow. We were not greeted in a timely manner upon arrival. We were seated by the hostess in a polite manner. It took a while for the server to acknowledge us and get us a menu. After taking our order, the food was brought out in a timely manner. It was served hot and was flavorful. The lentil soup was fabulous. It took quite a while to get our bill. The atmosphere was very relaxed,

Really underwhelming. Service was slow, the venue although impressively decorated was still quite sterile and the temperature was chilly. The food was disappointing and unattractively presented. Certainly not worth the price. We won’t be back.

Friendly enough restaurant and Macintosh designs. However my soup was lukewarm. They took it away and my husband had finished his food before they remembered me. I got my soup eventually but I was pretty fed up by then. Also it was advertised with sourdough bread- it wasn’t. Disappointing.

Really disappointed in our recent visit yesterday. Ordered ciabattas and the side salad was completely swimming in a salad dressing which tasted very odd. so much so that it saturated completely through the ciabatta (this dressing was not mentioned on the menu so no idea what it was) . I would have told them the issue if staff had even bothered to ask us how our food was ….it was far too busy and not enough staff to cope. This is actually detrimental as people are now having a poor experience. After I paid the bill (a very rushed process) I realised they had added a service charge on, if I had noticed that I would have asked for it to be removed. All in all a very rushed, haphazard lunch with the food seemingly just dumped on the plate. Def not worth the price. I’ve visited before and always had a great time but yesterday was a let down, there are much nicer and more professional places to eat in town now but this one is getting very reliant on tourists……come on Willow get back to the good service and more detailed menus

I can honestly say that if you have any dietary issues they are dealt with discretely and without fuss. Having told the staff I was gluten free they promptly brought me a gluten free menu and although there wasn’t a cooked breakfast option there was a fairly decent choice. My sister who was with me though was opting for the cooked breakfast and I asked if I could order one also but without the bread sausage and black pudding and potato cake….They said that was perfectly fine and the chef would double up on items that I could have and they had gluten free bread…perfect!….when my breakfast arrived it was huge and there was no disappointment whatsoever everything is fresh very hot and good quality…Thank you The Willow Tea Rooms for making what is normally quite stressful experience into a very lovely experience!!

We were so looking forward to our gift of afternoon tea. When I phoned to book, I was asked about any dietary requirements…I said one of us didn’t take butter, fish or cream cheese (these were foods listed on the sandwich menu). I was assured by the gentleman on the phone that was perfectly fine and I would be given sandwiches without any butter, fish or cream cheese, and to mention it to our server. On arriving and mentioning what I’d been told on the phone, I asked for the ham and mustard with no butter, the cucumber with no cream cheese but was told I couldn’t have that, only the egg mayonnaise. I was finally served with 4 egg mayonnaise sandwiches. The only other option was avocado and tomato, but not tomato on its own. While the setting was pleasant enough, I was so disappointed at the refusal to make my sandwiches without butter/fish/cream cheese. What’s the point of asking for any dietary requirements in the first place? Suffice to say I won’t be using my other gift voucher.

Visited for the second time on mothers day weekend. Understandably the restaurant was busy due to it being a Saturday afternoon, however the service was terrible. We were seated downstairs and given a menu, but no one explained about what was included etc, luckily I had been previously so could explain to the group. When our order arrived, it was totally wrong, I’m not sure if this was an issue with the kitchen or our server. We also were served the wrong tea and had to ask multiple times for the soft drink we ordered. The sandwiches were changed but then came as big triangles with crust, not like the other finger sandwiches you’d expect at an afternoon tea and still not correct but we just ate them as it we had already waited long enough. There was also an individual working in the restaurant who had a strong odor about them. This was particularly unpleasant as the person would be brushing past the table. Surely staff dealing with food and the public should have basic personal hygiene . We spoke to the manager and explained the issues and asked to be moved. The manager spoke to us as if we were children, very condescending and patronising. Extremely unprofessional, and I would also like to mentioned we heard the staff discussing another table who were complaining about the service. Not very professional to be discussing customers in front of other customers. We didn’t realised we had been moved closer to this individual who smelled unpleasant, but by this time we had really just had enough so tried to ignore the situation. Overall the food itself was ok but the service was so disappointing and I wouldn’t recommend or be back. The toilets are also cold, damp and not very clean.

The surroundings are amazing and the food and drink also. Sadly the service is slow and chaotic. My cake as others took 10 minutes - long after our drinks. My cake was then strangely not served as the server said it was not right - then I waited a further 20 minutes. None of this with any explanation until it finally turned up. I was past the point but was not allowed to reject. It was either eat it or have a takeaway. Check how long your cakes will take or don’t bother.

A must for any visitor to Glasgow who loves the creations of Charles Rennie Mackintosh . The decor and furniture are pure CRM and afternoon tea offers scones , rather small cakes (!) and whisky infused tea , and other goodies in which we didn’t indulge . You can have other food depending on the time of day , and if you have time you can visit the on site exhibition which chronicles the involvement of CRM with the owner of several cafes who used him as designer and architect . The Willow Cafe is the only one that still exists .

Came here as I needed cheered up again due to rejections - job hunting. Hubby ordered afternoon tea for me - the victoria sponge cake was delicious! Just as well we dont live in Glasgow or I would be having more of them! Had to wait a few minutes for a table again, but seated upstairs again. Once day we will get downstairs! The tearoom was clean, tidy and busy. Sandwiches were good and the waitress was helpful - Isabella. Thank you! Hubby had the cullen skink soup which he said was good. If in Glasgow again, yes we would come back here.

What a lovely tranquil find on a busy Glasgow street. We originally thought we had arrived too late for breakfast at 11.30 but were subsequently seated and served by a lovely Scottish lady (older, short hair, glasses, didn’t get her name unfortunately) who was chatty, funny and really helpful. All 3 of us had lovely food - full Scottish breakfast, vegetarian breakfast and avocado & eggs on toast- and really enjoyed the atmosphere as much as the food. There were lots of groups, families with young children, couples, friends, it seems a place that caters for, and suits, everybody. Plenty of young waiters & waitresses, really polite and helpful, mean you aren’t waiting too long at all when you need something. Can’t remember what the total bill was but it certainly wasn’t expensive. To top it off, I went back in to buy some gifts for my family and the same lady that had seated us spoke to me about where we going after, and gave me lots of really useful tips for travelling, where to go, best type of tube ticket to buy, how to find certain interesting places we wanted to visit, all sorts of local knowledge that made the rest of our day a real pleasure. I would definitely recommend The Willow Tea Rooms and will go back if I’m ever in Glasgow again.

Booked for afternoon tea at 12.30. Busy on arrival and were told to stand in the queue despite having a booking. Waited about 10/15 minutes before being seated. Had to remind them we were having afternoon tea (as we were handed the lunch menu). Lots...

We visited the exhibition about Miss Cranston and Mackintosh. Well worth a visit - so many interactive displays and beautiful items on display. And background to how certain items were created.

A lot of publicity has been created around this venue and I had requested this as part of my birthday treat.. I was disappointed to find the upstairs area (that we had booked) was closed. There was a choice of tea and we had the...

Very nice place. We went for breakfast and really enjoyed it. The staff was very nice and attentive. The place is beautifully decorated. It is not the original tea room for McIntosh, but this location is in the middle of Buchanan street, so it's much...

We were given a gift voucher as a present for Afternoon Tea and decided to use it as a birthday present. We were given a window seat and loved the Mackintosh chairs and lamps. We had the Afternoon Tea which had delicious fresh sandwiches, scones...

Disappointing. Poor service: this is a tea room yet the tea was served without cups; had to ask for milk for tea 3 times. Food mediocre—several pastries were stale. Extremely overpriced given the generally poor quality. This is the Buchanan Street location, which sadly has...

We're tourists and went to Willow primarily for to see the art deco design and to have the high tea specialty. Upstairs the blue/green woodwork and decor was really good. The contempory staircase detracted a little from the effect. They seemed to be understaffed. We...

My friend and I came for tea and were not disappointed! Both the food and service were excellent and the decor is lovely. I was here last year on two occasions and the service has improved since that visit.

Lee was great ! came in for breakfast and he was extremely polite and helpful, was on top of everything and kept the place tidy. Food was great as always but the customer service from Lee was exceptional.

We, my wife and I, stopped in to the well known Willow tea room and were very impressed with the food quality and efficient staff. The unique design of the room and all furnishings are unique -very interesting as advertised. By the time we were...

Beautiful setting, but service lacking and very expensive. Even added a 10% service charge. Carrot cake very ordinary and tea weak.

Visitante frecuente. Muy buenos paninis y panecillos a precios razonables. Aunque a menudo se quedan sin cosas cuando estoy allí

What a lovely way to start the day. My pal and I on a bit of a big cycle around Scotland, decided to stop here on a Wednesday morning, thanks to it being recommended by our waitress the night before. We locked up our bikes and headed over to naked soup dropping our heavy backpacker bags at a table before heading in to order. 1 confit caprese bagel 1 chicken and sun-dried tomato bagel 1 curried cauliflower soup 1 roast squash soup Absolutely stunning. The soups are super smooth and soul warming. The bagels are perfect accompaniments, dipping them into the soups to get this complete mouthful of flavours. This is not just a one time place to go and enjoy this is a spot to make your daily go to a part of your routine if you are a local. I'll be getting the train back up from London with the plans of stepping inside naked soup again. A place that understands having a small menu and perfecting each element. I tip my hat to you naked soup.

I have got to be totally honest here. The staff were absolutely fantastic 11/10 but the food was inedible. I mean really bad. The chicken burger although it was very big....was bad. Funny texture.....one of the worst I've had anywhere. The curry was very bland and watery. The steak pie thing was.....I actually doesn't know what to say......I'll stick to real...bad. Absolutely go for the alcohol as they do good offers and it's cheap. The staff honestly just couldn't have been better. Also brilliant with dogs. For food I just couldn't ever recommend.....so so soooooo unfortunate :( x
