Went into the terrace coffee house and asked them, although it's not on their menu they went out and got what was needed to make one for our boy. Suffice to say he had his big ice cream and we thoroughly enjoyed our food and drinks. Great food, great service and fantastic prices.

I ordered the cappuccino and was asked if l would like chocolate on top but never got, to follow a club sandwich I told the server that l had an allergy to cucumber of all things and if that could be missed out of the sandwich as l had an allergy, when the sandwich came it was loaded with cucumber and l sent it back and explained to the waitress about Anaphylaxis and the effects if l ate what they gave, a replacement came an l did enjoy the sandwich,

The restaurant is a 80's type mish mash of styles where it would be impossible to pinpoint what where the inspiration came from. Even though the coffee is nice even though its in a non bio degradable cup that takes 500+ years to dissolve. Breakfast and lunches are served here.

The back opens out into a cafe which serves freshly cooked breakfast and lunch dishes. Heartening to see such top quality from a Helensburgh establishment which would receive plaudits in the West End of Glasgow. The proprietors clearly have high standards. Situated just round the corner from Helensburgh Central Railway Station, The Buffet Shop is the perfect place to top for tea and a bun while you are waiting for the train. My only complaint is the relatively early closing time of 4pm.

While much of Helensburgh resembles a tired tourist resort, the same cannot be said of the…read morefantastic Buffet Shop situated just off the main square. Given the precedent set by waterfront businesses, I fully expected a shop of this name to be a proprietor of sausage rolls and cheese sandwiches, with a range of chipolatas covered in bacon if you were planning a fancy dinner party. Instead what greeted me was a deli which wouldn't look out of place in the swishest areas of the country. With vibrant, friendly and helpful staff, this place is a breath of fresh air for the town and offers some truly sumptuous deli treats, including a fantastic range of freshly made sandwiches. There is also a well presented seated area in which you can enjoy a meal. Indeed the two course lunch deal at 7.95 is astoundingly good value for money and comes highly recommended.

I'm Scottish and being back in the homelands I decided to plump for Haggis, Neeps and tatties - which definitely did not disappoint. My dining companion was English and has heard me wax lyrical about the almost spiritual experience that is Stornaway black pudding, so he opted for this, which was served with crispy Ayrshire bacon and apple chutney. "Life changing food experience" in his words. The cafe is very cosy, I think possibly only 8 tables in total, but we were made to feel very welcome indeed. Wish that we had left some room for their delicious looking home made cakes however.

I frequently pass through the area and visit as many different places as l can, this was my third visit here and on all three occasions this branch of costa has been very quiet. Service was quick on my last visit due to there being only three customers in the shop including me but the server had to stop moping the floor as there was only two staff left to manage this shop. One good thing that l like to think is that they have a good consistency and standards throughout the brand where you can buy the same thing where ever you are. This may be a new coffee shop but it lacks in character and that wam welcoming feel when you walk into an independent coffee shop. Yes it is good for coffee but would recommend an independent cafe nearby for better service. To access their wifi you have to give the your mobile number.

You had various choices of pancakes to choose from: blueberries, strawberries, banana, bacon. All served with sauces of your choice. The most popular one being maple syrup. They also sell ice cream and any sweets you can imagine. The owner and personell are very nice. The interior is welcoming. It's relaxing to look out the large windows and watch the world pass by, especially when sitting on a warm spot with the sun tickling your face. Only one toilet so.
