My favourite is Fifi & Ally, but then I've never tried the Little Cake Parlour!
PICK ME!
erm, favourite southside place for tea and cake? Are there actually any places? Maybe mise-en-place?
eat deli, for tea and cake!
Probably gusto and relish or cookie...still haunted by memories of stale cake from Biscuit and definitely not beanscene *shudder*
go slow cafe - super chill!
For tea and cake I would either pick Tapa on Pollokshields road
http://www.tapabakehouse.com/
or Bella Napoli on Kilmarnock Rd
http://www.crolla.com/
(but can I have coffee!)
has to be Bella Fresca in Cardonald. Cheap, not pretentious and full of tasty food.

For proper tea and cake it has to be Moyra Janes just off of Albert Drive, proper old school.
Eat deli in Clarkston - the problem is deciding what to have!
Tea and cake - has to be iKafe!
I love the Brooklyn Cafe but have also only just discovered the Go Slow Cafe with their awesome teapots!!
Along with many of the other recommendations, we've enjoyed a fine pot o' tea and wee nibble at Grianach on Nithsdale Road recently. If you can handle being surrounded by tourists and potential wedding parties, the café in Pollok House is another pleasant diversion, with decent tea and tasty cakes. (As long as it's tea, there's a whole bevy of southside locales - when it comes to espresso, though, they're all quite shoddy.)
The best place in the Southside to have tea and cake is at my friend Sheonad's house. She makes a delicious banana and chocolate chip cake. Yay for tea and cake! Otherwise it has to be Grianach or Gusto & Relish.
Gusto & Relish for me. Apart from the fact my friend works there they do a mean homemade non packet mix scone.
ICafe on Nithsdale Road. Great selection
from twitter follower @lawdipglasgow
My house!!!
Big mug of tea and home made banana loaf (or cupcakes if i win) lol.
ahhhhhhhh bliss!
my house in shawlands
Afternoon tea @ Devonshire Gardens - £18 per head & all made frsh on the day - YUM!!
The wee tea room in Eaglesham is amazing! cant remember its name tho????
I have to say that Tapa on Pollokshaws Road does amazing coffee [tea's good too] and the most delicious Chocolate Brownie
My aunt caths in clarkston!! best cake maker/baker!
Tapa on Pollokshaws Rd has been consistently awesome for a while now, although I ate in Cookie recently and was MOST IMPRESSED!
Tapa on Pollockshaws Road. Their coffee is amazing and they have this great coconut cake that instantly reminds me of my Granny. My 4 year old loves the flapjacks and calls it 'flapjack cafe'!
I fancied a little treat one day
So on my way i skipped
To a fabby little deli
Which i heard was hotly tipped
Deli 1901 in shawlands
For tea and a slice of cake
But would it be carrot or chocolate
The choice i had to make
I pondered and i pondered
What was i to do?
So i took the only option
And decided to have the two!
1901 is my favourite
It's yummy and it's fab
And if i had one request
It's please give me tab!
Cafe Roma in Clarkston is wonderful, very welcoming staff, lovely atmosphere and wonderful choice of cakes!
Eat in Clarkston has divine cakes, fabulous coffee and smells like an Italian granny's kitchen should.
For an old school tearoom experience with fabulous cheese scones and mouth watering cakes it has to be The Wishing Well in Eaglesham. A true southside institution it has been on the go for at least 35 years and from your granny to your girlfriends is great wee place to head for some delicious tea and cake.
House for an Art Lover! Georgeous yummy cake and lovely tea!
I like the Bean Scene at Battlefield, but as I have only just moved to the Southside from Erskine, I am still trying new places. Thanks for al the recommendations.
I just moved back to Glasgow, though new to the Southside and I was overjoyed to hear that their was a Tchai-Ovna on my street! Alas I was heartbroken to discover it has reincarnated into a Laundrette... but I can recommend the ritual of tea and a yum yum whilst watching yer smalls spin. Good for a broken heart...
My friend Colin's house in St Andrew's Drive - Col, when you going to have me round for tea and cake? :-) x
Has to be Biscuit. Beetroot cake with orange icing. Scones. yum.
Eat deli at Clarkston Toll has the best apple and cinammon scones and courgette and lime cupcakes and bread to rival tapas ( which is saying something) Its a bit of a trek for us shawlands crew but you can catch the train from crossmyloof in 9 mins and there are 4/5 really good charity shops including a great oxfam bookshop - why am i giving away my secrets ??
