Good food and coffee and friendly staff located in a central location. Only issue was the slow service at the outside seating.

I've gone a few times now with my twin toddlers and we absolutely love it there. The people that work there are always so friendly, the coffees are delicious and the baked goods are even better. They have an area specifically for your little ones all set up with toys, play kitchen and books so you actually have a chance to enjoy your coffee while your kids are playing safely right where you can see them.Kid-friendliness: They have a kids corner for the kids to play with the toys or to read books.

The foods usually reasonable. The problem is that they put take away breakfasts on paper plates in a bag. No box, which means the beans spill everywhere or have their sauce soaked up. I called them to complain and I got the most ignorant women I've ever spoken to on the phone. Her "Well that's the way we always do it." Me "Well it's spoiling the food" Her "not my problem. It's the way davie does it so I do it the same way" Me "can you not use a box?" Her I first did it when we were out of boxes, so now I don't bother with boxes for breakfasts" As I said the foods nice, but the attitude from some of the staff is appalling. Especially when they have made such an obvious screw up.

Coffee Corner is a pleasant and inexpensive oasis in an ocean of tea shops and cafes. It is excellent for tea and num nums, or soup, sandwiches and paninis from 12 till 2pm. :-)Vegetarian options: All soups are vegetarian and gluten free bread (white and brown) is available.Kid-friendliness: Child friendly play area. Also small kid lunches.Wheelchair accessibility: Flat access from footpath to cafe, also disabled toilet.

Lovely friendly place for cup of tea or coffee and a scone. The service is a bit on the slow side if you are in a hurry.

It’s a great breakfast with excellent quality sausages from the local butchers. Service is always good and it’s never too busy.

I am a regular at this coffee shop and must say that reading the other reviews i felt compelled to add mine. This is so much more than a coffee stop, the care for their regular customers especially older people living alone is really heart warming. They make a point of checking up on anyone who does not show up at their usual time for a couple of days. They also support the local community in so many ways. I am sorry that some people have had issues but i must stress this is not the norm. Please think again and pop in in the future. So many people would miss it if they were to close.

We have always liked the Terrace Café and often pass by for hot chocolate when in town, so today we thought we would try their all-day breakfast. It was served hot and we commented that the ingredients were clearly of a good quality and we complimented the young man who served us efficiently. We were happy. When the bill came I was a bit confused at how it was laid out and so I asked if they could explain why it appeared that a single slice of toast was costing me £1.75. The older man working there was amazingly and unexpectedly aggressive, telling me that I was charged the right price and that I should not complian. I was not complaining; I just did not understand the bill layout. I explained that and he became verbally abusive and aggressive to the point that I expected him to lunge at me. I asked him not to be so angry as the bill was probably correct, but that I just wanted to understand it. It then all got out of hand. He told me he does not have to explain and that if he were being aggressive I would know it. Wow! That was a threat if ever I heard one. I admit, at that point I went out of my way to wind him up, telling him what a strong man he was and how impressed we would all be if he were to beat me up as he implied that was his intention. It was a shame that he reacted that way because I had no cause for complaint, but I do not always get things right the first time, so I ask for clarification. I see no wrong in that. I was confused because the menu stated that extra breakfast ingredients, including toast, were 85p each and it looked to me like I had been charged £1.75 for a single slice of toast. I hadn't and so all was good, but the aggression persisted. I must ask who the mathematician was who costed out a slice of bacon, an egg, a slice of haggis, a slice of black pudding, a single slice of potato scone, a tomato, a spoonful of baked beans and a single piece of toast and worked out that they each have the same value. Really? I would like to know where the Terrace Café buys such cheap, great quality, bacon and I will stay away from their rip-off baker albeit the bread and potato scone were good. I was not ripped off and I did not have a bad breakfast at all, but I was flabbergasted to have been verbally attacked and threatened when I simply asked an innocent question. I know the customer is not always right, but give him a chance to be wrong before verbally attacking him. Is this really how the Terrace expects to glean new business? I would have liked to return, but as long as this lout is in their employ I shall give it a miss. I do not want him spitting in my food and I fear that it is just this kind of poorly educated yob that would consider an argument won if he did just that. Oh, and they might want to clean the place up a bit. Large cobwebs dangling over the customer seating area is not comforting at all.

Been here a few times and the food is great. The young staff are run off their feet but are very friendly and helpful. Just a shame our lunch was tainted by the old creep in the back bullying them. Should not have to be tolerated, and made us feel uncomfortable. Wonder how he would like it? Plonker.

Used to love coming here for breakfast or lunch. I will NOT be returning after the cheek of a certain member of staff. After visiting with my partner and son for some lunch we were told we couldn’t have the buggy and high chair which was fine. We put the buggy down. We then placed our orders and was asked if I would like some juice, I replied with no thanks. I did have juice on the table and was told I couldn’t bring my own which was also fine, I still didn’t want to order juice so I said ok that’s fine. Which could’ve been left there but he replied with “if someone came to the hairdressers with their own dye you wouldn’t do it would you?, it’s not being your own” the absolute cheek of this member of staff is disgusting. To which my family got up and left. Just sheer rudeness & no customer service skills at all. Disgusted and certainly will not be back again.

If you want to try a full scottish breakfast in Helensburgh come here. Haggis, black pudding, potato cake etc It has the feels of a greasy spoon cafe but it is the real deal. Better value than others. Helensburgh is expensive for food . Great deal for a sandwich and soup.

On a recent visit to the town we ate breakfast here each morning on the recommendation of my son who is local. The staff were great and the food was excellent and we know where to eat on our next visit in a few months thank you all.
