Delicious coffee in a really cute cafe! The mugs are hand painted by a local ceramic artist and are absolutely gorgeous! Wish they sold the mugs. The staff were super friendly and there was a lovely ambiance about the place. Will be back!

If someone says , how would a family owned cafe would look and feel like in heaven ? I would simply say just like how the cupbearer feels like in Helensburgh . I had the coffee in the morning , and I still can’t forget the faces , their welcomes their byes . What is the best about the place ? The purity , the genuineness - yes they do care about you . Do do visit the place :))

Good coffee, friendly staff and the baby cheezus toasted sandwich is amazing! It has havarti, Swiss and cheddar with a touch of pesto. So delish! They do take away and there's a lovely sit down area with paintings by a local artist.

Friendly local Cafe in the heart of town. Coffee was exceptionally tasty and clearly well made. The place itself seemed really well decorated in one half and a little bare on the other. From the outside though it looks great. We didn't try the food this time but will definitely be back to try that. Friendly staff who greeted with a smile!

Was in helensburgh the other day and needed a strong coffee, visited this little gem of a place. Staff were very friendly, coffee was strong and they had a nice selection of treats. Looked like a family business, which as everyone knows ill always support. They had records and other little bits ans pieces for sale which I thought was cute. Overall 5 stars.
