Beautiful cafe just across the road from Hampden park pond and Hampden park play park. Very friendly staff all welcoming and with a smile , lots of space to sit inside and outside , good menu and value for money too! And you can buy safe appropriate food to go feed the wildlife for only £1 a bag ..it's a great place to go for a walk and have a nibble and see wildlife in it's natural environment Highly recommend for an Inexpensive day out with the kids and Dogs !

I don’t know why all the Karen’s are complaining,I’ve been coming here for about a year now and I’ve never had a bad experience. I normally come here with my daughter for ice cream they have a variety of flavours and options the prices are on the higher end but it’s good quality,im normally served by the same friendly young lady or young lad and they never fail to make my experience a good one.The exterior and interior are a little outdated however the inside seems to have had work done.Thank you lakeside tea chalet
