Serving old fashioned sweets & souvineer tins of goods this place is mainly known for its ice cream, milkshakes & filled crepes. On a very sunny day the gent working in his own was handling the crowds well even having time to direct these visitors to public loo’s (right across the road which were very clean, disabled friendly) £3.50 for a 1 scoop waffle cone. Around 12 flavours to choose from & scoops were generous. Toasted coconut & Kit Kat were the choices for us & both were delicious. Creamy and with a good fat content that meant they didn’t immediately melt even on this hot day. Actual shredded coconut throughout & Kit Kat gave texture. Few tables outside but plenty places to perch with a sea view right across the road.

Stopped by for some ice cream with my family , they do have a good selection of flavors and waffles etc, I had the chocolate chip mint and it was so delicious , you will also find a unique selection of sweeties and candies like old times. Over all it's a good place to stop for some ice cream treats and coffee . Out door seating lovely when it's nice and sunny. I totally love that place and will be coming back

A bright and colourful little place, a real treat in the dreich Scottish weather. Right on the front at Helensburgh. Great views across the water. I stopped by for a cup of tea and an ice cream. The tea was hot, served in a giant mug. The ice cream was delicious, I had 2 scoops, 1 chocolate and the other cherry. Lovely and creamy with lovely bites of cherry. Would really recommend this place if you're an ice cream fan. About 12 different flavours to choose from, along with waffles, sundaes and milkshakes.
