The Hidden Lane Tea Room

1. This review is more for “The Hidden Lane”! It’s aptly called ‘Hidden’ as it is located very inconspicuously! You blink and miss the entrance to the Lane!
   Although it is recommended for people visiting Glasgow to visit this place, I would suggest that you can give it a miss.
   Nothing much to do once you reach there!

2. Cute little spot hidden off the Finnieston main strip. I found the scone especially tasty with a crunchy sugar coating, and the chutney nicely complimented the streaky bacon roll. I could eat many of the onion muffins. Delicious dhesi chai as well! This was the morning tea service.

3. I went here twice just to get a full feel of afternoon tea. Both days they were extremely busy and it was difficult to arrive, so I recommend planning ahead to make a reservation. The food and tea options are very good. It’s easy to mix and match, especially for a solo diner. Thanks for fitting me in! 👏🏾✨

4. We liked this cute colorful cafe, the decoration was old fashioned but beautiful, the girl who served us super polite and helpful, breakfast and prices were decent, the scone which is their signature was tasty, what we didn’t like is that if you like the morning tea which is kind of combo of breakfast and sweets you have to book 24 hours in advance online to have it prepared for you, which makes no sense as if you see what it’s included it – is more or less what they have already in their menu.

5. Booked in for afternoon tea. Service was very slow and we were given dirty crockery and dirty tea strainer. (I have pictured the ‘clean’ strainer we were given as replacement). The teapot was cracked, which is a hygiene issued as cracked pots obviously cannot be cleaned correctly and is not foodsafe. The area around our table was dirty, our seats were ripped and the cushioning was coming out. Food was horrible apart from the mini homemade scones. We didn’t get all the items advertised – instead got 2 sandwiches a handful of cakes and a pot of tea for £40 which is daylight robbery. Don’t waste your money go to the willow tea rooms instead
   Didn’t feel comfortable making a complaint in the tearoom as the staff seemed busy and unfriendly. I appreciate this may have been an off day so I emailed the manager who just said their food is lovely and all dishes clean 🤷🏻‍♀️
