The Sweet Tart Tearoom is a family run cafe at 1171 Pollokshaws Road in Shawlands, Glasgow. Its vintage inspired setting and traditional crockery create a relaxed place for breakfast, lunch, cake and organised afternoon tea.
Afternoon tea is a speciality, bringing together finger sandwiches, a savoury pastry, scones with cream and jam, and a selection of small cakes. Advance booking helps the team prepare the tiered service, which can also be arranged in a format suited to children.
The daytime menu extends to breakfast rolls, homemade soups and light brunch or lunch dishes. Belgian waffles, croissants, homemade cakes and other sweet treats sit naturally beside savoury choices, making the tearoom useful for both a quick stop and a longer catch-up.
Loose leaf tea and Thomson’s coffee lead the drinks selection, with the intimate room also hosting small community gatherings. Recipes and dietary options can vary, so anyone with an allergy or specific requirement should contact the tearoom before booking or ordering.
