Tinderbox

We visited Tinderbox in Princes Square in Glasgow and my partner hadn't been so I was very excited to introduce the concept to him about how it works as he hasn't had loose tea before, we scanned the menu and we liked that there was a good range of different teas to suit everyone's needs, I personally went for the peppermint flavour and I did like that next to the sugar section there were drops of honey which enhanced the peppermint flavour. You get the choice of sitting inside or outside on the balcony and it's quite busy too. If you are inside you get the benefit of using their power outlets to charge your devices while relaxing and enjoying the cup of tea. The staff here are very knowledgeable and are always happy to educate you about the different teas and encourage you to try something new.

We made a return to Tinderbox after 8 years away from Glasgow, a place we used to frequent regularly. It looked and felt like we had never been away. As in, nothing changed at all. As a result, it was a bit tired and needing some tlc but the usual quality of coffee and service stood out. Food was ok, nothing special but good all the same. Wasn't too busy inside, so we managed to get a seat for the 5 of us. A shame it hasn't moved on or been refreshed as it's a lovely spot in Princes Sq and it's great coffee, with a cracking team. Top tip, you can get an escalator from Buchanan St all the way to the top level. It's in the middle of the two walkway entrances.

Order a soya cappuccino and a vegan gypsy cream. Cappuccino was decent but the gypsy cream was the best I've ever tasted.. lighter than any I've ever had before. I also got a magic bag from toogoodtogo which had a great selection of toasties and cakes. I sat in the outdoor seating area. There was onlt one other customer outside but lots of uncleared tables which stopped from a 5 star rating.
