Nice sandwhichs - Edit
We popped in just before closing so we got some take away. I got a polish croissant which was delicious with chese and ham and a chocolate caramel cake. Unfortunately i couldnt really taste and cheese and the cake was bit too dry. However. Overall i think it was nice simple food made well and i would definitely go back if i was in the area. The dinner menu seemed quite different than lunch menu so that would be interesting to try.

Our favourite cafe whilst on holiday - Edit
We ended up going to The Bay 3/4 mornings we were on holiday, it would have been 4/4 but they are not open on Mondays 😊 Mel (the owner) was so nice and so were all the staff, very relaxed atmosphere. Food was delicious, although I only managed to get a picture of our drinks as we devoured the food as soon as it came out. The giant crumpet, mushrooms and bacon was really tasty as was the scramble tofu on sourdough. The show stopper had to be the jumbo hotdog with crispy onions 🤤 The croissant bread is also delicious and if there’s not a flavour combo on the menu that you would like and The Bay has the ingredients then they will whip it up for you. I asked if they could make me a vegan BLT to take with me on the road and Mel was so accommodating and it even tasted yummy hours later. We will definitely be back when we next visit the island ☺️

A lovely little gem! - Edit

Love it here! - Edit
I’ve visited 2x so far and both times have been amazing! Great customer service and great food and drinks!
Read morePros: Lots of options , Great food , Great atmosphere
Cons: On the more expensive side , Quite small
TheBayvegan
Thank you Courtenay for your lovely review. We are working on the courtyard area to extend seating. I note your comments on pricing we are generally less expensive than many places locally which customers comment on especially as we source locally cook gluten-free options where we can and many if our dishes are cooked on site and not bought as a frozen microwaveable meals. If you would like to message us through our Facebook page we would really appreciate a better idea of where you feel we are more expensive than our non vegan counterparts. Mel ❤️

Amazing - Edit
Great place to have lunch or breakfast, very delicious food. The trendy cosy coffee house was a saviour for me the only vegan in the huge Trouville hotel what didn’t cater for vegans. One day I had Mediterranean tart with salad, the other day I could choose what smoothie to have and asked to bake the Camembert for me😄isn’t it amazing! Coffees are very tasty, choice of any milks to add. Truly great place!
Read morePros: ONLY tasty vegan food, Cosy atmosphere , Lovely staff
