Worst bloggers in the world!

Both now back from long holidays in Portugal having abandoned blogging in favour of eating Pastel Da Natas and lying in the sun. Tough choices had to be made, blogging about tearooms or relaxing and eating and drinking. No contest!!!
Back to business with a long list of tearooms signed up waiting for their reviews to appear. Well we ate the cakes didn't we!!
Starting with Cafe Review, in Milngavie, East Dunbartonshire. This was recommended to us by lots of ladies who lunch and on the day we visited to review we had a great cup of tea.
Tucked away at the back of Milngavie bookshop, this is small and cosy and has the added benefit of being surrounded by books. There is a small patio out the back for nice days if the sun ever shines again.
We had tea and some of the delicious teabread (coconut, banana or gingerbread) and a freshly made scone. The scone was not the best we have ever tasted (too small and dry) but the banana loaf was moist and yummy. The gingerbread looked very good as a second choice. We didn't visit at lunch time but preparations for lunch looked very promising. Homemade soup changes daily, salads looked fresh and innovative. Feta cheese and cherry tomato, couscous with pine nuts and a selection of sandwiches and toasties all looked fresh and tasty.
Access for wheelchair users would be possible and there was a table of young mums with small children in pushchairs.
Service was outstanding and many people have mentioned this as a positive. Although it is counter service the casual and friendly atmosphere made us feel reassured that less physically able customers would be well supported. Obviously the cafe was full of regular customers but the staff were friendly and attentive to everyone.
We thought that this great little cafe had lots of bonus points because of its location in a shopping centre. The bookshop is excellent and there is a great selection of cards and unusual stationery.
This area is the gateway to the West Highland Way and would be a good place to stock up on a few calories before the walk. The shopping centre includes a small Marks and Spencers, several chemists, Mackays, loads of excellent charity shops, a seriously good handbag shop and a great old fashioned department store as well all the usual gift shops.
Verdict Great place to go for lunch and worth trying for tea and cakes but get the scones sorted out, ladies!
