About The Hidden Teahouse
Off the main street at 35 Main St in Glasgow, The Hidden Teahouse is a small tearoom cafe with a shop selling antique items, so a visit can pair a pot of tea with a browse. Afternoon tea arrives on a tiered stand with sandwiches, scones and cakes, and the scones come with jam and cream. The cakes and scones are home baked. Sandwich fillings run from cheese and pickle to tuna mayo and ham. A breakfast option serves brioche buns filled with scrambled egg and bacon, followed by scones and pastries. Leftovers can be boxed up to take home. The tea list includes darjeeling by the pot.

Customer Review Summary
Afternoon tea is what reviewers return to most, with scones, sandwiches and cakes described as fresh, homemade and plentiful, to the point that two parties took leftovers home in a box. Close behind are the tea selection and coffee, with one reviewer citing flat whites and a pot of darjeeling, and others mentioning lemon scones, soups and hot chocolate. Reviewers call the tearoom quirky, quaint and cosy, with antique items on display, and repeatedly describe the staff as friendly and welcoming. Several say it is hard to find, and one notes that reaching it by car is awkward. The one critical review describes a cold room, a wait for tea and coffee beyond twenty minutes, and a small black coffee that was charged extra. That reviewer found the sandwiches (cheese and pickle, tuna mayo, ham, and a brioche roll with Brie and apple) and the cakes just ok and said they would not return. Most others call the value reasonable, and one finished by taking home leftover pastries and scones.
