Went to Helensburgh for the day and wanted a nice brunch so popped in here and we were not disappointed. Food was lovely, staff were nice and friendly. Definitely will pop in again.

This is a lovely little café, and I couldn't have been more impressed! The menu is simple but absolutely delightful. The tomato and bean soup was rich and flavorful and complimented the toasties perfectly! For dessert, I couldn't resist trying their brownies and tablet — both were delicious, with the perfect amount of sweetness. We were very well looked after and I’ll definitely be coming back for more great food and vibes! Highly recommended.

We walked the length of Helensburgh front and ended up back here, where we started. I'm glad we did. The food was excellent, staff friendly, and helpful. Tomato and bean soup was lovely, and baking was fresh and tasty.

What a great place for a bite to eat. Staff were very friendly and super attentive The food was delicious. Started with lentil soup which was piping hot and served with a lovely roll and real butter If you like cakes this is the place for you. Too much to pick from. I’ve never seen scones this size either which was served with real butter and jam Will definitely return

A quaint, friendly and delightful place, with very reasonable pricing! It is a small space but they have done really well with it! I treated myself to an afternoon tea fod one, and my goodness what value for money! Two seperate towers, one for savory and one for sweet, all for £25! I didnt manage to eat it all, and they let me box the rest and take it home. The selection was perfectly balanced! The homemade chutney was so good, everything was just a delight and I am so very pleased, 10/10 would recommend!

Great food at a reasonable price with excellent service. If there is any "negative" it's that there are too many fantastic cakes to choose from,
