Bowside Cafe - Torquay

Stopped at this friendly place for lunch, on our return from Lorne. Food nice and fresh, coffee good too. Loved looking around the garden/nursery and also in the gallery which is beside it. Will be stopping there again.

Sweet little cafe along the coast. Looks like owner operation. Great personal service and good home made salads. Coffee have room to improve

Easy to find and fun to explore! Great coffee and homemade fresh rustic food at very reasonable prices. The art gallery homewares and nursery just completely surround you and make you feel very comfortable. We go there often and the owners and staff are lovely.

Having been to a few small Surfcoast cafes we were pleasantly surprised by Bowside- simply good, tasty and fresh lunch offerings. Together we had a pumpkin patty, toasted chicken-avocado panini and delightful salad with small cubes of beetroot and feta amongst leafy greens & yum dressing. Tasted homemade with due care to taste and presentation.The only precautionary advice is to say there's no menu. Walk into small entrance, view glass cabinet of goodies, and order at desk. A bonus is the terrific coffee. Worth visit alone for that cuppa. Oh, and a very good native plant nursery out back too.

This charming little cafe serves up delicious food and great coffee. Set between a working Art Gallery and a quaint outdoor living area and nursery, it is like an oasis in the middle of nowhere. A must visit!!
