Can’t recommend the girls at this shop enough my cakes always look beautiful and taste even better. The staff are so friendly and always happy to help. The atmosphere in the shop is always happy and cheerful with each staff member having a smile on their face. The staff are also very friendly and patient with my children who are always in the shop. The hot food in shop is always of high quality and tastes beautiful. I love the fact that the shop put on deals on food and milkshakes this helps to keep food and shakes affordable. Thank you so much for all your help and amazing cakes xx

We ordered my 2 year old birthday cake from here and we couldn't have asked for a better cake. They took the ideas we had and made the cake perfectly. It tasted amazing, communication fab and we got lots of compliments on the cake.

My fiance loves to go to Purdie's on a Friday for lunch as they have alot to offer and the chef caters to your needs if you want something that's not on the menu. I have also been here myself.and can say they do great take away food. There is a few stools inside the shop if you want to stop off for a while and have your food inside. I had the spicy chicken and cheese panini with chips as part of a meal deal they done which was great. I have also had breakfast rolls from Purdie's and these where tasty also. We will definitely be back for some more food. Staff always friendly when we are in. Location is easy to find and park beside. You can also use the ClydeEats app to order.

To say i recommend this shop is an understatement. Just look at the detail in this cake so happy with the outcome and taste. The cake lasted and stayed fresh what felt like forever. The staff in the shop are so friendly and happy to help. Rachel really listed to what i wanted with this cake and totally blow my expectations out the water. I love the shops location and views what more could you ask for with amazing cake and brilliant views.

We got a Pistacchio Twix and a loaded Coffee Cake from their food truck during the Helensburgh Highland Games and these where honestly the best cakes we‘ve ever had! I am lucky we don‘t have them at home or I would eat them every day — Very delicious!
