"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"

"Great breakfast - forgot to take a picture. Also grabbed a chicken wrap for lunch. Son said they served him the best chai he's ever had - and he's had a lot of them! Son had the Scout Big Breakfast. I had a poached egg on toast, with his mushrooms and tomatoes. Perfect!"

"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."

"only popped in for coffee and a snack but was a great experience! got a very delicious spinach feta and sun-dried tomato brioche. the chutney in it wasn’t too sweet and the brioche was nice and soft. the matcha latte wasn’t too flavourful but was nice all the same. will definitely be back to try the menu!"

"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"
