The Cup & Saucer

Cozy tearoom, friendly staff, offer varieties of tea and have a delicious afternoon tea. Enjoy the environment sip a cup of tea and enjoy every bite of sandwiches, scones and cakes. In an afternoon tea set you will get: scones with cream and jam, sandwiches (at least two fillings), strawberries and different kind of cakes(sponge, tray and more). One set can be a meal of the day. Awesome afternoon tea café. Highly recommended.

Enjoyed a wonderful afternoon tea at this little quaint diamond of a place. Food just wonderful and all homemade. Service perfect and tea served in lovely teapots and using strainers. Everything served on vintage china. Trip into the past with all the quirky ornaments and furniture. Vintage cuteness. Couldn’t have found a better way to celebrate our sister ending her cancer treatment. Thank you so much to the lovely owners. CRL

Step back into the 1950s for your lunch or afternoon tea. We happened on the Cup & Saucer completely by accident (we were in entirely the wrong arcade!). They happened to have a table available when we arrived but that was pure luck - tables filled up almost as soon as people left. First, the decor / ambiance: The room is a perfect illustration of the difference between retro and vintage. Functional, serviceable furniture with an unmistakable art deco flair is unpretentious but makes you feel like you've stepped back in time. The only "retro" bit I noticed was an adorably kitch microwave. The staff was perfect. They greeted and seated us immediately. We opted for the afternoon tea and from where I sat, I could see it being prepared. Every detail was carefully attended to and we were served a charming feast. A testament to the quality of the experience was that despite being hidden away at the back of an upper floor, in an arcade of a lane, seats were filled almost as soon as people vacated them. In fact, several drop-ins were turned away. I will certainly be back at the next opportunity.

absolutely lovely place spotless and food is AMAZING especially the afternoon teas! :) Owners are always happy to chat and this place is great if you have dietary requirements as everything is homemade. Cannot recommend this place enough! No more than a 3minute walk from Hillhead subway. As for the decor it is true vintage and stuff isn’t just made to look like it. If you visit here I would recommend visiting Ruthven Lane just across the main road as it is full of vintage shops!
