Customer Review Summary
Soup draws consistent praise, with several reviewers singling out the wild garlic soup alongside a lentil and cheese chutney version, and panninis and quiche also come up as reliable lunch orders. Cake is a close second focus, from cheesecake described as outstanding to a lemon slice and an orange and pimento cake, though one reviewer notes the cake they were served was too hard to eat despite enjoying the coffee. The tea selection earns repeated mention too, with one visitor appreciating being served from a proper teapot. Beyond the food, reviewers consistently describe the staff as friendly and the setting, right by the river in Glen Lyon, as a favorite pitstop after long walks or hikes. Several mention it gets busy with cyclists, bikers, and passing tourists, especially in the afternoons, and outdoor seating comes with local birds looking to share a table. Portions are repeatedly called generous, and multiple reviewers say they plan to return.

“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!”
