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.

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.

This is how all plant centres would of been if they were not planted amongst suburbia. I like the drive down from the main road, through a gravel road, and through native flora and fauna. The staff are friendly and local, the centre is full of beautiful plants and flowers to beautify your garden, lots of decorative art for the garden on sale as well. The centre has attached to it a little canteen, which had a lovely lady working on the till, she made us devine coffees and fluffies, and because of the luscious smell had to purchase a few of her brownie biscuits she was experimenting with. The seating area is quite substantial, and even has a kids corner with a massive blackboard for the kids to draw on. Very relaxed and chilled surroundings, and a wonderful place to potter around and find some delightful new additions for the garden. I like this place a lot.
