This is my favourite place to enjoy peace, lovely food and tea whilst reading a good book. A gem of a place. Friendly owners and staff who always go out of their way to give great hospitality. Thank you 😊
Superb tea room - beautiful food, lovely atmosphere. Children's aft tea amazing - with their own little tea set - so cute we bought one! Highly recommend
Always a favourite with my daughter(vegan) and myself, the food is excellent and all freshly made, caters for everyones taste whether vegan, vegetarian or neither, best cafe in Cumbria.
Amazing food at an affordable price. Vegan options & choices were fantastic on both food and drinks. Homely environment and friendly staff. Totally enjoyed our visit.
Called into this little nugget on Saturday after a hike across the hills. What a fabulous selection of teas on offer and neither did the taste disappoint. My wife and I had the fruit bread and friends the carrot cake both were delicious. Cracking place to stop off either for light bites or a meal as what came out of the kitchen looked very appetising.
We have tried to get in to this Tearoom during the Dickensian Festival in November, but it has always been full. We had the Cream of Parsnip Soup with a Red Onion Lancashire Cheese Sandwich, two of their house blend teas and two of their famous Toasted Tea Cakes. The food, service and atmosphere was ***** (5 stars) and I would highly recommend this Tea Room when visiting Ulverston.
Finally was able to find a spot that I knew would be the perfect place to finally have an Afternoon Tea. Being vegan, I never thought I'd be able to enjoy an authentic and delicious alternative (one that was well executed and not just an afterthought), but Gillam's delivered. It was everything I hoped for, so thank you!
Gorgeous little shop. Best tea I've had for a very long time accompanied by a top notch scone!!
Delicious mezze. Gorgeous cardamom and spiced cappuccino. Beautiful classical music playing.
Roaring log fire, a lovely cup of coffee and some of the best teacakes I've ever tasted! Great way to spend an hour or so on a chilly Autumn morning. Great service as well. Highly recommended.
the second visit I have made while visiting friends in Ulswater. Seven of us ate, clean plates all round. I brought the most delicious tea to take home. We will be back, highly recommend.
Wonderful real tearoom. Special tea, real food, and best of all a wonderful choice of music. I just adore Albinoni with my tea.
I want to shout from the roof tops about my visit to Gillams. I was in heaven. The very best gluten free menu I have ever come across. Oh, did I mention how bloomin good the food is....I can't wait to visit again, very soon. Well Done. The staff and service was second to non aswell.
A great place to have some great food the next time you are in Ulverston. A mini market alongside the restaurant with some delectable & unique products from different parts of UK & Europe as well.
What a gem. I really didn't expect to find anywhere that did non dairy milk never mind delicious vegan breakfast foods! I had tofu BLT. It was fantastic, the marinated tofu was top notch. Lots of coffee options. The shop next door is stuffed to the gills with delightful products and beautiful fresh veg. I only wished we lived closer.
Fantastic gluten free and dog friendly cafe. Real roaring log fire with every possible choice for different coffee and specialty teas! Family run since 1892 and still run by Gilliam’s family! Excellent food and lots of choice. Wonderful
Fabulous vegan pie 😋 Lovely staff ❤️
Lovely place and amazing ambience. Had good time over there with lots of varieties of tea and yum breakfast. Go for it.
Popped in on our way through for a cup of tea and were so impressed by this gorgeous, quaint tea rooms. Staff were lovely, setting was gorgeous and food and drink spot on. Definitely recommend their famous tea! A lovely tea rooms.
Really friendly service with a good menu.
I tried the Marocain Jackfruit and it was delightful.
Will return.
Lovely little tea room with delicious food, excellent tea & coffee and friendly service.
Gillam's tea room is well worth a visit. The staff are lovely, the food is delicious and well presented and it has a nice calm atmosphere.
My chestnut mushrooms on sourdough toast was exceptional.
Would definitely return. 👍
Very nice meal had at this place. Normal sort of cafe type offerings such as tosties etc. but also some more comprehensive and experimental offerings such as Tandoori Jack Fruit Burger, which was epic.
All in all very satisfied. There is a nice health food shop attached that offering amazing granola, and other delectables. Would have returned for 2nd meal but there were closed.
Welcomed by nice friendly staff. Just called for light lunch, I had mushrooms in garlic sauce on sourdough bread and my wife had the Halumi burger both dishes were really nice. As it was a warm day we sat in the garden area at the back, a really pleasant lunch, would recommend.
Lovely old fashioned atmosphere. Friendly helpful service. Extensive menu. Plenty of healthier options. Some things are a bit pricey for what they are, though. For example, the smoothie was £4.50 for a below average size. It was tasty though.
Popped into Gilliam’s Tea Rooms today and it is such a lovely place with friendly staff. Sat outside on the lovely terrace with coffee and cake. Could not fault the service that we received from the lovely young man. The only negative was that the carrot cake was a little dry hence the 4 star review. I am still recommending people to visit though.
Had a coffee in a beautiful old fashioned tea shop . Waitress was bubbly and staff very helpful. Decor is stunning especially in the shop area.
Lovely little cafe with pleasant staff.Had some lovely carrot cake and hubby had cream scones well sized portions. With a lovely chocolate with cream.
💗 love Gillam's 💗
Fantastic menu, delicious lunch, fab latte, really lovely staff, great deli, I hope I'm back there soon 😊
This is the most wonderful eatery in Cumbria, wonderful friendly hosts, beautiful food and drink served in the most comfortable surroundings. You haven’t experienced Ulverston without paying a visit. Thank you for giving Gregory a lovely birthday xxx
Awesome place! One of the best cafe's in Ulverston. With a wide range of everything, including a perfect selection for Vegans and Vegetarians, this place should be on your list to visit. Everyone is friendly and makes you feel at home, which matches the great prices as they can only be for friends and family. A must go to eatery if you're looking for quality as well as substance.
