I used to enjoy climbing the hill to wail into yonder valley like a banshee, alas no longer, but sentimental to me all the same, as now I may enjoy a beverage with someone special as I reminisce. Convenient and super dog friendly.

We have lived in Torbay for a year and finally got around to going to the Long Bay Cafe for brunch…read more We arrived to a pretty full cafe, no outside tables which was disappointing as the lawn is pretty big so could have accomodated more. There was a bit of a wait on food but we were told this when we ordered so that was ok. The food was actually pretty good which we were really pleased about as it's kind of our local cafe. The prices were a little high would be my only criticism. Great view of Long Bay

The food is always fresh and made with love and passion. The environment is a total blast, this cafe has easy parking and its plentiful, fabulous out door seating also the beginning for walking and bikes pathways. Art gallery next door. Great thrift shop behind. Facing north and flooded with sun, coffee to die for, food to delight. Go there!! The young man who owns this cafe just oozes enthusiasm. If you own a cafe near here be very worried or sharpen up you act now!! PS Free WiFi

We drove all the way through town to get to this place based on the other review here. And we were…read moredisappointed to find that there was only cabinet food available. It all looked nice and fresh but cabinet food is just not what we're into. And I certainly would never rate a cabinet good cafe higher than three stars ever. I normally wouldn't review a place I hadn't eaten at either but wanted to save other people from going out of their way as we did just now.

To say it's tiny is an understatement, but don't let that fool you, the food is all prepared on site fresh, and with beautiful local produce. Add in the fantastic coffee and it's a winner! It may be a bit far out to make a specific trip for, but if you're ever nearby, definitely stop in and give it a try, you won't regret it!

I've been back several times and each time the coffee has been exceptional. I've not had the food, but it always looks delicious and is not too expensive. They have a range of pastries, as well as sandwiches and salads, and generally, they are very creative, with good ingredients. I definitely would go here for breakfast or lunch, but generally just end up going for 1-2 tasty coffees! I also went back last week and had a cinnamon scroll, it was AMAZING. It was like a pastry in a muffin, and I would go back any day to get it.
