Amazing salad and breakfast rolls from here. Great value compared to other local places to eat,and the staff are friendly and helpful. Also has a proper coffee machine. If you are sick of lomand shores market food get down here only a short walk from there.

Really nice butty, very reasonable prices and quick service with proper brewed coffee. Just down the road from Loch Lomond so enjoy the butty on the beach.

I 'was gonna' / 'wizgonie' change the name of the café. Brilliant little sandwich shop right next to where we stayed. Had egg and cheese rolls, cooked up in just a couple of minutes.

Every town should have a Wizgonies! The crusty rolls are fab and jam packed with filling! Tikka and coronation chicken were both delicious as is their coleslaw. Great coffee too. We went twice on our stay in Balloch. Amazing value!
