I have visited Cup in renfield st 3 times in the last few weeks, once with my sister who was visiting from Tasmania, next with my Mum who was visiting from LA and then with my husband for lunch on his birthday. My sister and I shared an afternoon tea - accompanied by a glass of champagne. There was plenty... More

I booked for me and my best friend to have a champagne afternoon tea at Cup. Well what can I say about it... 1. The welcome was fantastic. I'd cheekily requested the sofa when I booked and the manager made sure we got it! 2. I'm vegetarian and don't eat eggs or mayonnaise and my friend doesn't eat fish. The... More

Great value; so many sweet treats in the afternoon tea that we had to take some of the top tier away in a box. I love the idea of afternoon tea but for me I would prefer more sandwiches and less cakes as sometimes I feel it's just too sweet! However, that is the nature of afternoon tea and Cup... More

I went to Cup on renfield street for the vegetarian afternoon tea. The buliding was lovely. However, The presentation was disappointing. For the price of £15.95, I was expecting a lot more. I was given 3 mini sandwiches which had the filling of cream cheese, hummus and cucumber, hummus and sundrued tomato. A little thought into it would have been... More

Hi I can see that you followed through on your 'threat' of writing on trip advisor. I see that you created a profile just to write the review. While you were saying that you were expecting a lot more for your money, it is clearly stated on the menu the contents. Your diet requirements had been discussed in advance as... More

Bought a deal from 5pm for the morning tea + 4 take away cupcakes! Oh man, it was an incredible deal! Couldn't believe how good it was, so I photographed it to let you see for yourself. The deal was to introduce their new menu + to be honest, it was the best of their deals to date!! If you... More

We had the tea along with the glass of champagne. The place was busier than we thought it would be but had a charming atmosphere. Its a cup of tea but they make it seem a lot more. The food served was excellent and the attention of the staff was just right. They left you in peace but were close... More

Such a variety of teas to choose from (try the Chiili and Chocolate tea or the Tablet tea!)The hpme-baked rolls, scones and variety of cakes plentiful and filling-the cinnamon cream a taste experience! All the staff friendly and helpful and you will... More

Love this place and been several times now. The building is beautiful and the furnishings very comfortable and help you relax immediately. The variety of teas is excellent and I am working my way through the list. Cranachan is the favourite so far but to be honest everything is good. Breakfast is a treat as well and I have enjoyed...

I've been here on 2 occasions for lunch, once was a sedate affair mid week and once on a bust Saturday afternoon. The service is always good, the place has a real authentic feel, it's calm and quiet, a good respite from Glasgow's busy streets. The drinks menu is extensive there a lots of teas to choose from but not... More
