"I was excited to experience an afternoon tea, but instead couldn't enjoy the meal due to the cleanliness of the restaurant and the staff. My water glass was caked in black, gritty grime and when I asked for a replacement, they gave me one equally dirty. My tea cup also was dirty, but only on the outside so I just gave up and drank from it anyway. We ordered two pots of tea because our waitress said we aren't allowed to split one, which resulted in us each having a lot leftover and spending more than we planned. The avocado toast was vegan friendly and okay, but I was so grossed out by the time we got our food that I didn't want to eat anything leaving the kitchen."

more beautiful place. After I had asked, I got a marked menu card and the personal was very nice and attentive.

I have always loved to go to the Willow Tea Rooms to have a nice cup of tea in its gorgeous Mackintosh themed ambiance. And now I can even eat there! I had the vegan afternoon tea. It was very nice and great value for money.

beautiful restoration of an incredible building and makes it too face, that is the reason to go! brilliant selection of tees and drinks. we had the vegan afternoon, beautiful sandwiches and scorpse, but disappointing “frozen honey” untamed cake.

I like the new free from menu. Had the afternoon tea, very good. The place is nice and the Watt Brothers branch is indeed cheaper (and has a different menu) than the new one on Sauchiehall Street. Mackintosh design, plus a little Mackintosh based shop.

Great bargain! The Savoury Afternoon tea is really good: the cheese scone and savoury treats are really tasty! The traditional Afternoon tea is really nice too and quite plentiful even though the sweet scone was a little stale to my taste! Sorry I don’t want to be mean or anything but that’s how I felt it! The service was really great though and the waitresses were lovely and welcoming! Highly recommended!

hummus pepper toastie 5.50) -came with salad, tomato and gurkensalat, which was a very nice note, with hot hummus and paprika. beautiful combination. vegan scone spread 3.50) came with vegan butter and jam that can be unusual for places with vegan options. gluten free chocolate brownie 3.25) was very dry tasting. I would like to go back to try the vegan afternoon tea or the cute! the personal was very accommodating.

after reading the positive reviews, my hopes were high for an extraordinary vegan tee. the vegan afternoon was beautiful, but could have been a little more imaginative. I was a little disappointed with the very basic sandwiches, the scones with only jam and vegan spread, instead of vegan cream. the cakes were limited. my banana loaf was a bit under baked, but the brownie of my partner was delicious and was definitiw the highlight.

Delicious breakfast! Full Scottish and fresh tea for £10. Most places I looked at were a bit more and did not include tea so this was a great deal. The food was cooked well and tasted excellent and the tea was oh so satisfying. I'll have to come back and sample more of the menu. It gets quite busy so a reservation is a good idea, though I was lucky and came before the rush so was seated immediately without one. Good place to bring the parents/family.

Service is slow/lack luster and not cognizant. Who puts the tea filter below the holder straight onto the table?? That’s just unsanitary. The service is only fast in delivery once items are ordered. Tea is ok at best. The sandwiches are really good so they’re actually the star of the tea. The scones are baked decently but the clotted cream leaves something to be desired. The desserts/cakes aren’t that great either. Overall a cute spot but just not good. Also the fact they call upstairs a “Chinese tea room” shows not a single one of them has ever been to a Chinese tea house or really even examined Chinese interiors… The ignorance there is ridiculous.
