Quick and done with a smile on their face. Plus the cappuccino I have is very good , the sausage rolls are tasty and as are some of the other sweet baked delights on offer. The place is clean, has a good selection, price is not bad and I saw they have a very near perfect A grade from the powers that be. Highly recommend for your morning coffee, pie, sweet indulgence and with very good service.

Little and Friday is SO good. I've been to the flagship store a couple of times now - and love it!…read more It's got a fairly big seating area inside and also two nice outdoor areas, out the front and out the back which has a kids play area - perfect for a summer afternoon. They have plenty of savoury and sweet food in the window to choose from, a great selection of drinks - and remember to check the wall behind the counter for specials - I saw a bunch of fresh honeycomb once! This is a great spot for a small group, It gets busy really quickly though!

Cute bakery that has made itself a destination nestled into a quiet side street. The large space…read morehas a walk-in counter, a place for seating as well as a large kitchen area. We ordered a cake for my daughter's 5th birthday the same day. Ordered at 8am, was supposed to be ready at 5pm. When I arrived they admitted they had completely forgotten about it! They charged half price and delivered to our house which was appreciated given the circumstances. Not ideal as we weren't able to enjoy the awesome look of cake for that long before doing the candles, cutting and getting to bed. The cake itself was awesome with chocolate ganache and piled high with berries on the top. Would go again as long as forgetting orders isn't a regular thing.

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

I returned to New Zealand a few weeks ago and instantly wanted a good Kiwi coffee. I stopped by…read morehere after landing and was impressed. 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.

It comes with spicy bell peppers on delicious toast. Super good! Service is great and quick. They have free WiFi. Also the almond croissant is the best. The best Jerry! Oh and it also has a great kids playground right next door that the kids can play at while you eat! It's not completely closed off so small kids would need supervising. My kids (6 and 4) didn't need supervising. Plus a changing table in the bathroom.

simple casual french foods made well. Their sandwiches run out the fastest... Lunchtime and there's…read moreonly two flavours left. Next would be their desserts and pastries, those babies fly out the door. My favourites so far are the chocolate eclairs and basically all their sandwiches lol... their ficelle are simple ingredients but the bread makes it something else. Their chicken sandwich roll has the yummiest pesto inside and the bread for this was similar to a giant soft pretzel with rock salt on top... made the sandwich THAT much better... pretty much what im saying is, their fresh baked breads/goods are AMAZING. their Baguettes sell out fast so get in quick! That chocolate eclair though.... that chocolaty mousse like texture inside and the glorious puff pastry outside.. wow. i could eat 10 of those... i mean... that's what gym is for, right? Go earlier! like, before 11am to get all the REAL goodies that sell out super fast as these guys are ALWAYS busy no matter what time it is.

If you want to treat yourself to a good breakfast and a great coffee, then La Tropezienne French…read moreCafé is the place to go on a Saturday morning. Don't let the parking lot front scare you off, once you're inside it is pure France. The smell of fresh baking fills the air, and the hot chocolate is almost mesmerizing. The pricing is not cheap, but the quality of the food is good, and after all it will be the atmosphere that will promote you to regular status. My favourite is the éclairs, but there are plenty of other desserts to choose from. What I liked about this place, was that I could bring my dog along, and we could both enjoy the sunshine outside.

I have been here a few times in the past and every time it maintains a good level of service and as always the coffee and food is what you'd expect. Except one time i did have a bacon and eggs there. It was not too good. Not good value at all for what you get. But not so bad i was going to complain wildly about it and i won't have again for sure. A big problem here i have found the times i have been is finding a table to sit at....if you do come at the busy times of day it could be hard. Overall another example of an average shopping mall cafe.
