Nestled away in the serene surroundings of Lochend Nursery in Gartcosh, Glasgow, the Tea House on the Loch is a delightful retreat for tea enthusiasts and casual diners alike. This charming tea house is not just a spot to grab a quick bite; it's an experience that wraps you in warmth and hospitality, making every visit feel uniquely special.
The menu here is thoughtfully curated, offering a comforting selection of light lunches and hearty breakfasts. Indulge in the Soup of the Day served with beautifully toasted sourdough, or savor a delicious toasted bagel, wrap, toastie, or panini that showcases the freshness of local ingredients.

And let’s not overlook the indulgent choice of Black Pudding or Haggis on Toasted Sourdough; it’s a must-try for anyone wanting a true taste of Scotland!
One of the standout features of the Tea House is their extraordinary afternoon tea. As highlighted by satisfied patrons, the experience is enhanced by the ability to choose your sandwich fillings, paired harmoniously with enormous homemade cakes and freshly baked scones. Customer 'Woosterz Mom' shared how they were “stuffed” yet still received their leftovers in delightful boxes—showcasing not only the generosity in portions but also the considerate service of the staff.
The cozy, inviting atmosphere is complemented by touches like a comfy spot by the fireplace, which 'Jean Motherwell' described, making every visit feel like a warm hug on a chilly day. Furthermore, it's refreshing to see a tea house that welcomes furry companions; 'margaret Fraser' noted how her dog Oscar was treated like royalty with a puppaccino and complimentary treats!
The friendly staff are consistently praised for their warm welcomes and accommodating nature. 'Kim Stevenson' mentioned the bustling environment during lunch hours but still felt the kindness of the team shine through as they found comfort amidst the busyness.
For those who revel at the idea of wonderful treats, the selection of cakes here is impressive. Patrons like 'marjorie saukila' appreciated not only the delicious options but also the willingness of the team to cater to dietary needs—the possibility of sugar-free cakes is a fine touch for the health-conscious sweet tooth!
With each visit, the Tea House on the Loch promises a charming dining experience filled with flavor, warmth, and a touch of Scottish charm that will leave you longing to return.

We had a lovely afternoon tea. Its done a bit differently- you get to pick your sandwich filling and huge home made cake. The scones were freshly made too. Theres also the option to add on a bowl of soup. We were stuffed! But they gave us boxes to take the leftovers home. We'll definitely be back.

This place is a hidden gem but well worth visiting. Book in advance cause just turning up at peak times may result in a bit of a wait. However, it is worth the wait if you have to. Today was lunch. I had a chicken and rice soup and a ham, chilli jam and mozzarella panini combo. It was a good as it looks. I followed this with THE best strawberry tart I think I’ve ever had and a pot of Earl Grey tea. It was very reasonably priced for the quality of the food. Staff are attentive and friendly and the service is excellent. Families and dogs are welcome and the setting is beautiful. If you get the good weather like we did then you’re going to feel like you’re dining in paradise.

A lovely warm welcome on entering the Tea house. It was busy when we arrived for lunch on a Monday. Good selection of food on offer. We both enjoyed our lunch at this cosy cafe.

Great place for a light lunch, food and service were excellent. Our dog, Oscar, loved the puppaccino and treats. They even put a table outside for us. Will definitely return.
