The Bay Tree Cafe in Torbay

Stunning breakfast! Great service, Angela + Richard were very friendly + welcoming. Food came fast + piping hot. Good value for money. Highly recommended 👌 Sam + Rach from South Wales

Best breakfast in Torquay, me and lads love it.

Simple Excellent full English consultant and reasonably priced Shuffle, unhappy staff, doing everything they can to help

Nothing is too much trouble in here. Staff wonderful and the food tasty. Its a cafe not a restaurant and the food is inexpensive, highly recommend.

Great food served fresh and hot

Lovely people and lovely food , will breakfast , normal and vegetarian 😋.

As usual, lovely food, the young lass that took our order was very polite and the owner came over to check everything was OK with our order. Lovely little gem of a place.

Excellent food, and very good service. The staff really make us feel welcome, and we'll certainly return in the future.

Five of us arrived cold and hungry after diving at Babbacombe. We left 45 minutes later warm and well fed. A great breakfast at a very competitive price. It does not matter if you go for something from the menu or go freestyle and make it up as you go along, everything arrives quickly and piping hot.

Good quality ingredients prepared to the same excellent standard every time. Friendly and warm atmosphere. Value for money and would recommend.

I haven't been for a while. The food is great, the prices are fair and the staff are friendly. That's why I always go back. When my schedule allowed I would be there every Saturday morning, now it's a bit harder but when I have time I go. Want a good breakfast then look no further.

Visit every saturday without fail . Friendly staff and very good value food . Always piping hot and fast service . When busy you dont mind waiting and its worth it . Angela runs the show and always polite and makes time to chat . Always tell friends and try to visit extra . Always leave full . Thanks guys

Amazing cafe, very good value for money you cant beat it. The staff are great, very nice and make you feel welcome every time I come in, Great menu selection, a lot to choose from. Highly recommend this cafe

Love the Bay Tree Cafe , wonderful service , great breakfast on a lovely hot plate . My favourite venue plus dog friendly . Love the staff . Would never go anywhere else ☺️

I stopped in for breakfast on my own. The food was ok, nothing particularly good, but vfm. The service and ambience was very poor though. The cafe was very cold (most customers kept their overcoats on) and less than half full. Nevertheless, I waited a surprisingly long time to even give my order, waited a bit longer than normal for it to come, and when it came it wasn't quite what I ordered. I wasn't going to send it back and wait even longer though! What was most surprising was that, while I was sitting there, four customers turned up. The waitress surveyed the less than half full café, then told them that they couldn't come in and would have to come back in 15 minutes. Two of the four would-be customers waited outside in the drizzle, while the other two went to the shops. After ten minutes, during which time no-one else entered or left the café, she opened the door and told them they could come in. What was that about? It's all a bit League of Gentlemen!

Lovely hearty cooked mega breakfast with black pudding and extra fried bread. Too much in the end but if you want filling in a lovely cafe then this is the place.

Prices are very good Food was tasty and portion size was good. The staff are very friendly. Best breakfast, I’ve had in a long time

We had the mega breakfast and it was really excellent - the food was tasty and service was attentive and quick. The place is small but we didn’t feel hurried. Easy to find by the main road. Overall I would definitely recommend for brunch or lunch.

Lovely place, good prices, family-run, warm, little cafe. Highly recommended. We had the big breakfast and pot of tea. Delicious, freshly prepared food.

I’ve missed my trips to this little gem. If anything it has got even better. Lovely food, beautifully clean, warm and ever so friendly

Excellent full English breakfast! I've been here twice with a friend for brunch and haven't been disappointed. It's a bit cold in the cafe, but the food is always excellent and the service good. The price is also very good considering the quality!

Food is always lovely, good value, friendly staff. Car park opposite, little hidden gem. Close to babbcombe and oddacombe

Good price and delicious food! It really worth each coin! I would like come back. I ordered a big breakfast, and they served fast, but was everything fresh and looked as was prepared at the moment for me.

Lovely food as always. Friendly staff. Polite as always, highly reccomened if your looking for a cafe foe good food then look no further than the bay tree cafe. There food is lush, good quilty and value for price.

The owner was friendly and took the time to explain how all the produce used was locally sourced. I had a fantastic omelette, fresh and tasty. Thanks for breakfast.

Had the breakfast this morning and it was the best full breakfast I have had in Torbay. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the price was amazing. Will definitely go back soon 👍

Absolutely lovely place to eat. Such friendly staff, delicious meals and very reasonable prices. Have been several times now and would and have recommended to others.

We were very lucky to find The Bay Tree Cafe. It was exactly what we were looking for. We had such a friendly kind welcome, when we arrived. I noticed that everyone in there was treated the same way. We were made to feel at home. The brunch we had was proper comfort food and a pot of tea. It was very, reasonably priced. If we didn't live so far away, we would definitely, go there more often.

Lovely Food very reasonably priced. Friendly service.

Excellent cafe, good prices amazing food and large quantities and a great atmosphere. Angie and Richard are friendly, engaging, and nothing is too much trouble. I highly recommend visiting.

Called in for breakfast today....friendly and clean. Both my husbands and my breakfast were amazing. A beautiful little cafe.... Thankyou.

A1 food…excellent service. Best cafe in Torquay by a mile !! It’s the Mega Breakfast for me every time ….

Decided to visit bay tree cafe. It was 1.45 we both thought it closed at 2.30. It does actually close at 2pm. We were told it was still OK to to order. We both had a gammon steak, chips egg and peas. It was delicious. 😋 It arrived quickly. We both really enjoyed it. Definitely value for money. Friendly and cosy. Will certainly visit again. 😻

We came for Sunday breakfast because of it’s reviews. I wasn’t disappointed. Lovely food, not greasy and cooked just right. Seldom have I had crispy hash browns that aren’t overdone. Go for the mega breakfast, it comes with a choice of toast. I had black pudding as well all washed down with a pot of tea. Delicious. You won’t need anything till the evening after this breakfast. The staff are very friendly and welcoming with a touch of old school, and with that I mean impeccable manners and respect for the clientele. This is a one-in -a-million cafés, thoroughly enjoyable. You can’t beat the prices either. Much more reasonable than many other establishments. A lot of others could learn a lot from the way this place is run. Certainly coming back and highly recommend.

Popped in as it was open Sunday morning. We needed grub before we went shopping for camping holiday. Look, we're connoisseurs of the English breakfast!! This was one of the best we've ever had. Great little place

Great value for money breakfast, and a friendly and welcoming place. Will definitely return one day!

And now this Sunday I'm a bit gutted. We went in near 10.30. Only 2 family's there. All the other tables had reserved on them. So the lady said "we are full". We know from our experience 2 Sundays prior that the service is quick and we eat quick.... would have even finished in half an hour. Really gutted we didn't get our breakfast

myself and my grandad visited this morning (19/7/23) for some breakfast as we had an hour before an appointment. the food was absolutely beautiful, the portion sizes were perfect, the service was efficient. Lisa was extremely lovely and nothing was too much of an ask (i had quite a few changes made to my meal, and Lisa had no issue in getting that done for me). overall, a lovely experience and we will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

Had read the reviews and thought would it a try, personally they were wrong. It was far better than that. Not only did it provide everything you expect like cleanliness, excellent service and exemplary food at good value but more so. As soon as you enter there is a certain feeling that you are going to enjoy the experience and Angela is the epitome of the perfect host.

We had a cracking breakfast here today, everything was perfectly cooked with great service and lots of selection to choose from. I had a lovely Latte from the posh Barista machine and my wife had a nice strong cup of tea. Everything was perfect and faultless and very reasonably priced. 👌

Came across this lovely cafe, it’s so clean and the staff are super polite and helpful! The food is incredible and quick. Would recommend this cafe to everyone, will definitely be coming back!

Went there with my girlfriend and her family and felt welcomed as soon as I walked in. Wonderful service, kind staff, and incredible kitchen. The only let down is that I didn't discover this place earlier.

Great value breakfast always freshly cooked for you.

Looking forward to breakfast , turned you 9 am ( said they were open 8.30 ) a lady in the doorway said she be back at 10 am she’s gone to the cash and carry. We walked around and waited 10.30 , nobody there ? Disappointed, parhaps next time put a note on your door to let us know when you open ? Trying to support the smaller businesses.

A very friendly welcome,lovely food at very good prices,super dog friendly

Just got home after another terrific breakfast at Bay Street Café. I have been there many times and never had a bad meal. Today, mega breakfast and my wife liver and onion. Food was great, service was great. Photos below just to make you hungry.

Excellent food , well cooked and super quality and friendly staff. Not overpriced , value for money.nice ambience , very clean , with comfortable seating and nicely decorated with some nice art on the walls.

My wife and I visited here as we were visiting Torquay and this was the top rated Cafe in Torquay for breakfast. Whilst the service was mostly decent (we were almost told off by one member of staff for wanting the radiator on as it...

Excellent find would recommend for a lovely breakfast lots of choice good food and great service thank you for a wonderful start to our day

I just wanted to try this lovely little cafe for myself, and I wasn't disappointed. The food is freshly prepared and delicious .

We ventured here after an underwhelming experience at Babbacombe Model Village. Upon arrival we were seated and our order taken within 20 minutes. The owner (whose name we forgot to ask for) was lovely and asked us a few questions about our time in Torquay etc. The food was great, and super affordable. I had the jacket potato and my partner has the cottage pie. Piping hot, tasty and kept our tummies full! We tried to leave a tip but the owner said she couldn't accept it! So am writing this review as a huge thank you! Next time we are in Torquay, the Bay Tree Cafe will be at the top of our list! Xx

Very good value and good food, the mega breakfast is very large and unbeatable value. Convenient parking just across the road.

Great little cafe with very reasonable prices. We had coffee's and the Mega Breakfast (all day) and Gammon, eggs, chips and beans. Everything was piping hot and very quickly served. Staff were extremely friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend. Parking is across the road and bonus of public toilet too.

Lovely staff, great food at reasonable prices.

Lovely little cafe, full English breakfast was amazing and very reasonably priced, very friendly and pleasant staff. This is my go-to cafe for a fry up, Top marks.

We are having a long weekend away with the children and found this cafe by happy accident exploring. Lovely food, friendly service, amazing coffee! And very reasonable prices. The lady serving us was very lovely.

Avoid at all costs! Turned up at approx 1pm to a face of thunder from one of the staff - hardly welcoming. All tables had reserved signs on tables to avoid people coming in, as they likely wanted to close early. We were rushed to order our food as we were told the kitchen was closing at 1.45pm. Coffee was below average, and the meals were average at best. The fish was under cooked and clearly rushed - tho they did not charge us for this (probably they only good thing I have to say). When we finished our meals the staff had their coats on when clearing our table; an obvious hint they wanted us to leave. I won’t be visiting again.

Found this cafe today and so glad we did. It is Pancake Day and we had Bacon, Maple Syrup Pancakes - and the pancakes were homemade - Fabulous! The staff were so friendly, so will definitely be going back! 10/10

Lovely little cafe to duck into, friendly staff, delicious food (great quality for the price!). Would recommended to anyone visiting (or living) in the area to pop in for a hearty breakfast :)

Our dive club regularly uses this café, and we've never had a bad meal there. We've always been made welcome, and the food is very good and well priced. Thoroughly recommended.

Thank you for our food today 12/2/23, I had a cheese+ham toastie with chips, 2 other meals were sausage, chips and beans, bacon burger and cheesy chips. All tasted lovely xx

Visit here most Saturday mornings for a breakfast. Nothing negative to say, it's spot on and excellent value.

Angela & Richard serve up a wonderful breakfast, buckets of tea and all at the drop of a hat. Add in the very reasonable prices and you just can't beat the Ba Y Tree for breakfast.

Went in here for the first time, for a 'Full English' . There were two choices - Huge or Medium. I went for the 'medium' - roughly speaking 'one of everything you would expect'. The egg, beans and tomato were all good but the rest...

Tasty and good value lunch. Breakfast looked good also! Really friendly service - a pleasure to visit.

Amazing little cafe run by wife and husband. The mega breakfast was to die for. I never eat a full breakfast but on this occasion it went down well. Owners were very friendly. Recommend highly

Enjoyed a lovely cooked breakfast and it was well worth the visit. Would recommend all that visit st Mary church to go and have a meal. Plenty of choices. Will be going back again.

Love this place. The staff are lovely and always friendly and service is great. It's always clean and tidy and has a good atmosphere. The food is always fresh and hot and looks amazing when it comes out and every time I go, food is always delicious. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for good food in Torquay. Delicious and affordable, love it!

The best and only place to eat inTorquay. Always made to feel welcome. The food is exceptional and reasonably priced. Service is excellent can't fault it one bit. Great portions and big too. The cottage pie is out of this world by far the best I've ever had. Angela and Richard really do make this place beyond incredible

Great English breakfast Hot and not to greasy Perfect

"in my 74 years I have never had a breakfast so good" - my grandmother

Popped in for breakfast, what a nice homey place! Good food at great prices, should be recommended more than 5 stars for the value you get. Be aware, portions are generous and really good, you just don't want to stop!

Had a lovely lunch today with our 2 year old and my in laws - delicious food!! Would definitely recommend!!

Stayed at the premier inn but can’t stand beefeater breakfast so looked up best places to visit for breakfast. This little gem came up. We drove about 5/10 min drive. Found it easily and right opposite is a car park. It looked tiny from outside....

After scuba-diving off Babbacombe beach, our dive club visited this fantastic small cafe for post-dive brunch. Perfectly cooked and every variation on “Full English” available at a very reasonable cost. Endless refills of tea and toast just appeared magically from the hands of the very...

As scuba divers we need feeding, and this cafe delivers the right food at a good price. Highly recommended

After removing my original review because the owner suggested I had reviewed the wrong place, I double checked and this IS the correct place. The member of staff serving (an older lady) was impatient and irritated by customers. Didn't welcome us on arrival. Both ourselves...

I went here on the 27/9/22, the staff are friendly and prompt with service, food was very nice and hot. It's not fast food, it's good food served as fast as they can. While in there another customer said best cafe that they had found.

Lovely friendly polite staff always, food is good quilty and good for price. If your looking at coming here don't think about it just come you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic value - all day mega breakfast (3x bacon, 2x sausages, 2x fried eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes,baked beans) plus toast and a pot of tea for around £8.50.

Clean and tidy. Staff make a real effort.

Yet again, another fabulous morning being fed till we burst. Great food, great service in a spotless relaxed atmosphere. Thank You

Had food here asked for no eggs and tomato on the all day breakfast and if they can swap it for an extra sausage. Recieved the food and we didn't recieve an extra sausage but was charged the full price. The lady giving us the drinks broke a glass and dropped one of the cans on the floor which she did not offer to swap so when I opened it. It went all over the floor, table and me. The chef ended up cleaning the glass and the lady did not apologise or acknowledge the mistake. Had to ask for a new can of drink after it went everywhere. Still hungry and won't be returning. Was charged £21.90 for 3 cans 2 breakfast ( 3 ingredients ) and bacon on toast!

Searched online for the best breakfast in town and this didnt disappoint. Absolutely beautiful food and service recieved was second to none. Both my partner and the kids were blown away by how nice everything was. Everything was freshly cooked and will be going back...

Trip advisor suggested this was the best around and it didnt disappoint. Food and staff were second to none. Ate every last bit of my full English including the bubble and squeak. Absolutely amazing

Super helpful staff, great choice of alternatives to meet dietary needs and they let dogs in.

We've been away from the Bay Tree for a while dealing with family trials and tribulations. It was wonderful to return for what we say is the best breakfast in the 🇬🇧 Everything clear on the menu and spotlessly clean, warm friendly welcome from Angela...

Lovely experience from start to finished, highly recommended. Quick friendly service, strong coffee, thick bacon and just the most delicious meal to start the day! Very reasonably priced too! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I visited the Cafe with 2 children and three adults. As soon as I walked into the cafe the older woman did not look happy. Like she had just encountered a bad smell. Sniffily she said "Have you booked?" No welcome of any kind. I said "No" and she paused walked off and come back and said "You'll have to split between the two tables." Then walked off. A bit purturbed we sat down and she returned and snapped "There are two other customers being served before you." So I guess at this stage she is trying to say that your food will take ages to cook. To be hoenst it looked like a greasy spoon from the 60's so wasn't particularly inviting. Feeling like she didnt want us there it seemed like a good idea just to leave. Hospitality does require some degree of hospitable welcome. I've never felt more unwelcome in a cafe before. The kids were well behaved and we are very polite people so to be hoenst I was really dissapointed. However we went to the Cliff Railway Cafe which was absolutely amazing. Wonderful reception, great views fantastic and modern food offerings. It was the best thing the miserable woman could have done. We had a fantastic lunch at the Cliff Railway Cafe.

Lovely breakfast. Clean and well run and friendly. Have been there a few times now and thought I would post on here and give credit where due. I will be back!!

What can I say another great breakfast from this wonderful cafe staff are always polite food excellent prices are good what more do you need excellent

We have been twice this week and will be going again! The staff are so friendly and welcoming to us and our dog. We have had lunch and breakfast and all was freshly cooked and prepared and so tasty. Teddy our dog loves his sausage...

Popped in with the family for lunch - varied choice of menu with a very friendly service. Everyone really enjoyed it - would visit again.

Went here for the first time in a while and I have to say that the price for what you get is too high. I got the standard breakfast which was £5.90. It was decent for the price but when you add the cost of...

Lovely breakfast. Great value for money. 5* rating

We came across this cafe by chance, so glad we did, we both had lovely breakfasts, perfectly cooked and hot. Even our dog was given a sausage ! Will definitely visit again when in the area.

Staff are so friendly and lovely every time we have been. The food is really good and always amazing, prices are excellent. cannot recommend enough!

Had a cracking cooked breakfast here this morning, everything was cooked to perfection. Lovely mug of coffee to swill it all down with, Keep up the good work.

Very friendly and helpful staff, a group of us go every Friday as we are working in the area. Table service throughout. I have food allergies and they cater for lactose and gluten free! And was advised what to eat The coffee is really nice...

I live locally and it's the best food, lovely staff and owners, fab prices and great food 5 STAR , Thank you.
