Staff were absolutely brilliant today, always a busy cafe and they always manage to be as polite and helpful as they can: ! However the rudeness of the owners of the cafe as they walked in absolute apauled me! There was quite a queue and they rudely interrupted each staff member trying to do they're job, the manner they spoke in was outrageous, absolutely no way to speak to your staff. Lucky they even have any left after the comments and digs made today infront of customers!
Its premises may be small, but the Esplanade Cafe is a famous institution in Greenock for the sheer quality of its ice cream. While it also serves other snacks and food items, it is it's legendary ice cream which draws the crowds. On sunny days (which happen occasionally in Greenock) it is normal to see a line of people waiting to purchase the said ice cream. The building is fairly small and unpretentious, the service friendly and efficient and the ice cream....to die for.
1 star food was appalling cold and sauce was disgusting. Manner in the way the staff conduct them selfs is shocking being able to talk about customers right in front of the boss. Place honestly hasn’t changed in all the years I have been to it! Also for the money you pay you would expect a smile with the service but certainly not in here and staff also not all wearing masks…? Also not using sanitiser in between food preparation
The ice cream from Esplanade is absolutely amazing. Some say it's the best in the west of Scotland, I'd go further and say it's the best you can get in Scotland. The raspberry sauce and snowball ice cream is just an amazing combination. It's not pretentious or over complicated, but good ice cream done well and imaginatively. Book a table now
Food is bad all cheep sq sausage. Footling sausage always reheat . Filled rolls dry with little filling best thing about the place is the staff who served us . But beware owners just stand in background watching everyone and quiet cheeky to the staff very embarrassing. If I was to give a good point need to be when I left .
We just had the best home made ice cream here today. Great flavours available. I had Malibu, coconut and pineapple flavour. A tub for £2. Very good value for the quality. Prompt and friendly service and somewhere to sit outside. Highly recommend.
Ideal for when you are out for a walk , or down to see the Cruise liners coming in. Lovely Ice cream sold here . Sells fresh made breakfast rolls all day soups too.
This little cafe was very busy mid afternoon. People out enjoying the walk along the Esplanade and stopping by for ice cream and snacks. Book a table now
The best Italian ice cream in Greenock! There are quite a few flavours to choose from too They also do some hot food to takeaway.
Best ice cream I have ever tasted. First tasted it nearly 40 years ago. Tried it about one year ago and it is still the best.
