Customer Review Summary
Soup is what reviewers raise most, with the wild garlic soup singled out as smashing and a lentil soup with cheese and chutney also praised, alongside big portions of toasted snacks. Close behind are the roast veg paninis, a shared fresh sandwich and quiche, with breakfast items served until late morning. Cakes draw frequent mention too, including a cheesecake described as to die for, a lemon slice and an orange cake, and a proper tea pot and wide tea selection at fair prices. Reviewers describe friendly staff, river and glen views, and outdoor seating where robins and birds visit and one labrador had a paddle in the river. Walkers, cyclists and bikers stop in, and a few say it gets busy in the afternoon. The one complaint is from a reviewer who found the cake quite hard and could not eat it, though the coffee was great. Several note that it was a welcome stop after a long hike, and one reviewer adds that it is closed on Wednesday.

“We had a nice lunch here. The location near the river is lovely. There is seating inside and out. It can be very busy at times with cyclists, bikers and cars that are travelling through the beautiful Glen Lyon. The tearoom makes a lovely pitstop.”
- Leyton Campbell
“A wee gem of a highland cafe with brilliant local fare. Big portions of soups and toasted snacks. Highly rated for when you have just finished a long hike! Gets busy around mid-to-late afternoon.”

“A hidden gem! The food was delicious and the portions were much bigger than we expected. Everything was fresh, homemade and full of flavour. …”

“Lovely stop for lunch. Excellent venue, plenty of seating given the size of the place. Great variety of food on offer - soup, quiche, panninis, cake. Breakfast stuff served until 11. Really tasty and lovely staff. Highly recommended.”
- Linda Varvel
“We stopped into the Glenlyon Tearoom for a light pre-lunch snack and thoroughly enjoyed it. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the sandwich we all shared was fresh and delicious. A lovely little spot that’s well worth a visit if you’re in the area!”
