A wonderful little local cafe and bistro. Coffee is exceptional and their breakfast and lunch is wonderful. We just had their dinner as they started opening on Thursday-Saturday evenings and we were really pleased with the menu and the taste of their food. Run by such nice people. Definitely a gem for our local area

Fantastic cafe with well-made, unique breakfast offerings. There’s plenty of cafes in the area that all do the same thing. Bay Run offers the usual suspects sure, but go for the more unusual items. For example, the loaded croissant (see photos) is amazing. Coffee is consistently good, staff are consistently friendly, and even when busy we’ve managed to find space to sit down. Definitely worth a visit for the food menu in particular. Also good with dogs and babies.

Some great healthy options. I would love to see less deep fried things in my salad but I loved the flavours. Brioche buns and sourdough bread is sold here as well as other delicious looking pastries

Perfect place to grab coffee after bay run! I think this place serves the best coffee in the area. Food is quite expensive though for portion size (looks big in the pictures). $23 for 2 slices of gluten free bread, half an avo, poached egg, sprinkle of feta and radish. I haven’t brunched in a while but maybe this is the standard

Friendly service and excellent coffee! Bulgogi salad with fried egg was good but a little too much dressing. The schnitzel chicken burger was yummy too but the schnitzel was a bit overcooked. Some room for improvement with the food but I would definitely come back again as the cafe left a good impression

Great cafe, convenient location, helpful staff, and fast service, but wait there is breakfast lunch & dinner available with a license with some great cheeky cocktails as well
