We all like Tea and Cake here in North Lanarkshire & Glasgow. Here are some of our favourite places.

Nothing quite beats cake, coupled with some afternoon tea. Simple, yet always a nice treat. Its relaxing, yet undemanding and is something that anyone can enjoy.

A very well recommended place to take your elderly friends or family members out to in the Coatbridge area, is the Mad Batter Bakery & Coffee shop. A great place, especially for elderly people as the staff are very helpful and caring and really do go out of their way to make your visit a great experience.
