M	Marie Corcoran on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Our first visit to Torbay so we decided to grab a little lunch. We ordered the Karaage chicken with salad and the Scout breakfast. The Karaage chicken dish was huge and I didn’t manage to finish it all. The pickles in the salad were delicious. The Scout breakfast was a hit with my partner especially the savoury waffle (never saw that before) Very good coffee also
K	Kristal McKay on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ UNMASKED STAFF AND NOT CHECKING VACCINE CERTIFICATES. I will not be coming back to this establishment even though I only live down the road. An unmasked staff member had a lengthy phone conversation while standing at the counter directly in front of a customer, then proceeded to start making drinks, only pulling her mask up part way through. The staff member who was going to take my order was not going to ask to see or validate my vaccine certificate. I asked her 'would you like to see my certificate?' her response was a casual 'oh, yeah' at that point I just said no thanks and walked out. Throughout the pandemic hospitality businesses have been asking for understanding, empathy, support and the right to open their doors and continue to make a living. In most cases rightly so. This specific business however lead customers to believe that they have the mandated safety protocols in place, indicated by a 'please present your vaccine certificate' sign and I made the choice to support this business based on that. The fact that they don't bother to follow the necessary steps to protect their staff or their customers tells me that they don't deserve any support or to still be operating. I will continue to support and spend my money at businesses that do the right thing , put the effort in to operate safely , and do not mislead their customers.
C	Carli Botes on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Delicious breakfast! We had the Big breakfast and the French toast, can recommend both! The coffee was nice :) Suggestions: - The big breakfast could do with a relish or sauce or something. - The sweet french toast could be cut by some acidity like a berry compote, it's sooo sweet (but delicious!) - Stabilize the round outside tables, they keep tipping side to side
G	George Forgan-Smith on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A very chic, fresh eatery on the North Shore, Scout seems to tick all the boxes. The interior is invitingly decked out in contemporary pastel shades and light wood with a sprinkling of greenery throughout. And one cannot ignore the startling number of pretty pink accents from the menus to the table vases. The menu is a cafe-hopper’s delight, classics aplenty along with signature twists to invite exploration, to say nothing to say nothing of the tempting treats in the cabinet which were demolished by the Saturday lunch crowd in the time we dined. My two companions enjoyed brunch from the kitchen while I had a chicken bagel. Their breakfasts were stunningly presented, although a request for no hollandaise seemed to have been forgotten. The bagel was generously filled and just right for the morning. Service was friendly, but not as efficient as it could have been. A lengthy wait for our coffees and we witnessed the waitress having a chat while our drinks stood getting colder. Our second round of drinks we had better luck with. Coffee definitely good enough to enjoy seconds. I tried a matcha latte. Very on-trend and made with coconut milk, a little sweet for my own taste but worth a try. I ventured in for a second visit on the morning of my departure just as they were opening. Again, a lack of efficiency in service but the salmon bruschetta was absolutely stunning. If the youthful staff just recieved a touch more training in service, this would be a 5/5 destination for sure.
P	Phillip T on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Good food, with above average prices. Went for breakfast about 25pp. Ordered their big breakfast version, the kid version of it was very similar even though it cost 30% less. Adequate place to go to. Good place to go to if you have dietary preferences. Service was wonderful.
S	Steve Smith on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A really good selection of food and drinks with vegan and gluten free options as well as cold brew coffee.
N	Nickki Drake on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fantastic friendly staff, great food - good value for money and delicious ! Happy to customise orders and the coffee is perfectly brewed. New favourite cafe!
D	Dana Young on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Honestly looks good from the outside and it’s always buzzy during the weekends. But honestly, the service was ok and food was ok. Nothing special about the food but hey, it still attracts a lot of locals.
