We weren’t local and by the amount of people at 8:30am on a Sunday - it gave great vibes so we went here. THE BEST ALMOND CAPP I’ve ever had! It was so creamy. Waitress was friendly. Prices decent. Also got the Reuben Toastie- YUM!! Would go back when visiting again.

Was in Torquay for the weekend and came in for a bite and coffee and the place was bustling. Managed to find a table inside but they did not seem to have any high chairs. Regardless, ordered coffees and two toasted - ham and cheese and bacon and egg and a service of scrambled eggs on toast. Food came out super quick and it was delicious, must say, the bacon and egg toastie was sooooo good with the tomato relish and all.

Toasties were amazing. Me and my partner got the egg and bacon ones! The coffee is always consistently on point here and the car stickers look mint

Love this place. Friendly staff and the cafe is a gem. Understated and delivers above and beyond. Simple menu but the staff deliver big flavoured toasties with love more than what the menu reads. The best ham cheese tomato toastie I’ve had in years. My partner thought the aioli chicken toastie was the best she’s ever had.

Love this awesome cafe. The food is unique to the Cafe and not a repeat of the other places in Torquay. I tried the Ruben, and oh my gosh the beef was the most delicious corned beef I have ever tasted. The coffee is great, and I highly recommend any of the baked treats they have at the counter. Check out the painting on the side of the building while you're there!
