    On a busy day it can be important to find a place to sit with a good cup of tea some cake and enjoy the moment. As I sat I found myself inspired by the selection of teas and tea making apparel for sale. As I ate my cake I enjoyed its flavor and texture and plan a return visit to buy more

    Great place with amazing tea! They have a great selection of tea, coffee and chocolate. I am honestly in love with their milk oolong, which has such an unique flavour. The man that assisted us was so nice and he also gave us lots of samples.

    The tea selection is amazing and the hot chocolate is to die for. There is a very nice retail selection and a cafe with seating. The scones were excellent, served warm with preserves and clotted cream. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming.

    Great cup of tea and very friendly service. Wide variety of loose teas and coffees on sale. AND a timer to tell you when you tea has fully brewed :-)

  • 5/5 Liudvika S. 1 year ago on Google
    Gordon was great, very knowledgable and friendly! He gave some good recommendations regarding the cold brew teas and he seemed to be quite passionate about the products himself. Enjoyed my time there. Would certainly return!

  • 5/5 Monika R. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Robert M. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 John K. 2 years ago on Google
    Best pot of tea for two in Glasgow but not a great selection of sweet treats!

  • 5/5 Ann K. 1 year ago on Google
    This store is not the cheapest, but it might just be the tastiest! Their hot chocolates are rich and luxurious, their coffees exquisite, and their teas a fragrant delight! I spend way too long in this shop every time I go! If you love good coffee, their Moonsoon Malibar is divine!!

  • 5/5 andrei c. 1 year ago on Google
    Great variety of teas. Friendly staff. Ask about the teas you're interested in, as some are not put on shelves. There's a full list at the counter. Also, all of the teas are available to be brewed in store for you to be tasted.

  • 3/5 Tony M. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent customer service at the counter - I was in for tins of their instant tea's and flavoured hot chocolate for myself and family - but with the current prices I only bought for others though

  • 4/5 CAZ M. 1 year ago on Google
    Pleasant atmosphere. Samples of hot chocolates and teas to try which entices you to buy. A little expensive but the flavours make up for that and not always a great choice of cakes to go with the coffee.

  • 5/5 Stephen M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great shop for tea and coffee. The sit in coffee was so good I bought a bag for home. Nice staff.

  • 5/5 Jake M. 6 months ago on Google
    The Whittard of Chelsea in Glasgow Buchanan Galleries is a tea shop that my partner and I visited and we loved the free samples of the different teas we could drink. I quite like the fruiter teas as opposed to the bitter tea (well, at that time until my taste has done a 180 and now I'm the opposite) but at that time I quite enjoyed the blackberry tea as it was just the right amount of sweetness. We bought a pack that went down a treat when we went home. I remember the staff here were lovely and answered all my tea-related questions. Ten out of ten.

  • 4/5 Linda N. 7 months ago on Google
    Very unfriendly and unhelpful staff! I shopped for over 100 pounds and they didnt even bother to fill up the empty tasting pot so I could try a new tea. I asked about fruit infusions and the lady was clueless, ended up talking with another customer and he recommended the Oolong tea instead. Staff 1/5 The tea selection is great, 5/5

  • 4/5 Catherine H. 5 months ago on Google
    Sales lady very pleasant and informative regarding tea tastes. Free sam0le of coffee and Early Grey, my least favourite choice x

  • 2/5 Yvonne R. 8 months ago on Google
    I usually love my visits here, but today I got served my tea in a paper cup🤢 Just not the same, If there was something wrong with the teapots and cups maybe a small discount would’ve been nice

  • 1/5 Nina F. 6 months ago on Google
    Weekend afternoon, not one other person in shop, 6 staff present, 4 of them on phones and 2 of them absolutely not interested. Very disappointed since the tea shop is a place where I actually want people to try and sell me stuff.

  • 5/5 William L. 4 years ago on Google
    Large selection of beverages tea and coffee

  • 5/5 Marit B. 5 years ago on Google
    Best tea place in town. Eclectic collection of teas, very friendly service and since the addition of a small cage its my favourite place in town to spend a bit of time. You can try out all teas, coffees and hot chocolates and enjoy a yummy scone as well. I would leave a bit of extra time as sometimes great service takes a little bit of time

  • 5/5 David O. 4 years ago on Google
    Great selection on Tea and coffee. And there's a tea bar! Amazing time spent sampling, drinking and eating.

  • 4/5 Nan M. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 William C. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Christian M. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice hot chocolate, loads of coffee and tea varieties

  • 5/5 Ann B. 5 years ago on Google
    Visited the new store in Buchanan Galleries, it's definitely bigger and brighter, it now has a cafe, which is great. They do a variety of artisan sausage rolls, giant cookies amongst a few others. Would highly recommend

  • 5/5 Jorge T. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place to have a tea, coffee or chocolate. I like their plain scone and they don't mind whether you put cream or jam first ;)

  • 5/5 inbar b. 4 years ago on Google
    English rose is my favourite

  • 5/5 Ramona M. 3 years ago on Google
    Although I am not a big fan of tea, I love the products they sell here, my favourite being Dreamtime soluble tea. The staff is very friendly and attentive.

  • 3/5 Chris A. 4 years ago on Google
    Very expensive

  • 5/5 Chris 4 years ago on Google
    An excellent little shop and cafe with fantastic staff, they were so polite and courteous. I have yet to be disappointed with any of whittards storefronts around the country, nor their tea.

  • 4/5 ASMAT ANN M. 4 years ago on Google
    Good stuff

  • 4/5 Nikita P. 4 years ago on Google
    Love the products, staff are friendly but seem hesitant to go the extra mile. Went in on a trip to Glasgow to pick up some Christmas Chai I had reserved, only to find out staff say they didn’t have yet I had an email confirmation that my order was there. Would have been nice if they actually looked. Drinks and choice is really good. However, hot drinks can be very pricey. More seating needed during busy periods.

  • 5/5 Suzanne P. 4 years ago on Google
    Love to try all their different varieties of coffee beans. Go there to pick new ones to try every couple of months. Really good coffee such a treat. Such kind shop assistants too. Explain about tge biys very interesting.

  • 5/5 Graham D. 4 years ago on Google
    Loved it, good quality tea and service

  • 3/5 Valerie O. 4 years ago on Google
    Knowledgeable staff. Very helpful. Found a few things I was able to bring home with me that will make for great gifts. Some of the hot drinks were a bit pricey. I found it inconvenient that I had to pay for drinks separately from teas/coffees and gifts. My credit card company certainly didn't like it as my card was blocked for making two transactions so close together. All in all it was a nice place to visit.

  • 5/5 Zoe F. 4 years ago on Google
    Staff are brilliant. Very professional and have great product knowledge! Went in for a wee look and the staff showered me with free samples which was great! The quality of products on sale is worth the money. (Highly recommend the sticky toffee pudding hot chocolate!!!)
