Nov2025-a birthday breakfast with friends. Fabulous location and a varied menu. Very friendly staff. The pancakes were impressive. Gluten free bread is available so the menu has options for coeliacs. The ‘GF pistachio nut and coconut bar’ had my name on it. Yum!! It was a quiet Monday so an enjoyable morning! Download the Park’nPay app for parking. It’s brilliant! Pay only for the time used or avoid a fine if taking longer than expected.

Cafe at the Bay is a lovely spot with a comfortable and well-organized seating arrangement, making it perfect for both casual catch-ups and relaxed meals. The ambience is clean, bright, and welcoming, which adds to the overall pleasant experience. The food is delicious and well-presented, with fresh ingredients and generous portions. Everything we ordered was full of flavour and served promptly. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. Overall, it was a great experience with nice food, clean surroundings, and a calm, enjoyable atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quality café by the bay.

Good food, atmosphere and friendly staff. The chicken is halal..so that was a plus for us. Service was a bit slow due to peak holiday time.
