Review
About
Bayaroma Cafe is one of Hervey Bay's best cafes. It is a charming cafe ideally located on the Hervey Bay Esplanade in beautiful Torquay opposite the best swimming spot, the popular train park for families and great new picnic spots on the foreshore. If you like, enjoy watching the world go by in our alfresco dining area with the sea breeze and beautiful climate or relax inside with the background music and delicious aromas. We are well-known for our amazing coffee, all day big brekkies and lunches, friendly staff and great service and are popular among locals & tourists alike.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Possibly the best eggs Benny ever. Sourdough toast was lightly cooked (not rock bread that some places give you). The poached eggs were perfect, with plenty of real leg ham. Hash brown was nice and not too skinny like maccas.
Pancakes were perfect.
Thickshake was huge, but needed a spoon for the first five minutes (no complaints there)
Great friendly staff, who cleared the empty plates quickly once we'd eaten (a very rare treat)
9.9/10.
Great spit!!!!

Just finished a delicious breakfast here. Everything on the plate was amazing, especially the perfectly poached eggs. We shared the breakfast as there was plenty for two people Great coffee to accompany 😊
We have always enjoyed eating here when visiting Hervey Bay.
All the staff are attentive, welcoming and happy. It’s a pleasure eating here.
We had morning coffee and cake most days too and would thoroughly recommend the pumpkin bread.
Looking forward to our next visit and wholeheartedly recommend

The ladies who work at the cafe are exceptional. They were attentive and always smiling and greeting customers. The coffee is excellent. I ordered eggs Florentine. I understand that the hollandaise sauce needs to be refrigerated to stay fresh. But consider hearing it before serving it. My order came out with cold hollandaise sauce on the eggs. Same with the scoop of avocado…cold. These easily fixable oversights take away from eating a hot breakfast.

This is my return visit since coming to Hervey Bay a couple of months ago! I remembered how tasty it was and wanted to return. The return visit was excellent, friendly servers - Shay particularly, customer service even on the phone when I called to make a reservation! Food is excellent, fast and hot when served. Poached eggs were soft and bacon cooked well - not cooked to death. Coffee tasted great with the aroma that is worth waking up to! Parking around the area I more than ample and I would definitely return when I come to Hervey Bay again!

Small Cafe but almost ticked all the box. Coffee was great. Food, some were great and some were okay. Had the Egg Benedict with signature Hollandaise sauce was very creamy and just enough acidity but the pancake i had today was not as fluffy as i was expected. I think the whipped cream was made with low fat cream as we can tasted it. Small things but noticeable. Service was friendly & professional.

Hi 0794TBjamesl, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. Really happy you enjoyed your coffee and Eggs Benedict! I've also double checked with our Chef's and the cream definitely isn't made with low fat cream. Thanks for visiting Bayaroma Cafe! Hope you have a good day. Thanks, Jess :)

From the moment we walked in to be greeted by a friendly waitress we knew this place was going to be great. We were not disappointed
The coffee was superb and we ordered the eggs benedict with the smoked salmon option.
Eggs cooked to perfection and a really lovely hollandaise sauce. The portions were very generous so next time we’ll order one to share!
Highly recommend this place and all the staff are friendly and helpful
Thank you 😊

Great cafe, good COVID plan in place if they checked if you sign in, only asked. Had to book due to COVID not a problem, waited 15-20 minutes for service, food was good if they served correct orders. Ordered Big Breakfast with scrambled eggs, received poached, another person ordered scrambled eggs on same table received poached eggs. Plenty of food on plates, however staff seamed disorganised. Coffee was good. Disagree with dogs being allowed in a food area, not sure would visit again.

I love it here you cannot fault the staff so nice and food is delicious and plenty of it, the coffee always just finished the meal off.
I don't go for sweet things.
For breakfast I had eggs,bacon,tomato,mushrooms and sourdough toast it was unforgettable.

This place is the best !! Great location, super friendly and attentive staff and the best breakfast in town. We enjoyed French Toast, Pancakes, Bacon, egg & cheese rolls and delicious coffees and fresh fruit smoothies. Everything tasted so good. They also have an excellent Covid plan in place which was great to see. Can’t wait to return !!

Has a fabulous range of smoothies, fresh juices and shakes to indulge in.
Must admit $97 for breakfast for 4 people nearly made me keel over but - what happens on holidays stays on holidays😉

Hi AlwaysDreamingBig! We're glad you walked into our café! There is nothing more we love than hearing people enjoying our amazing range of food, drinks and coffee! So thanks for the feedback! We have teenage boys as well so definitely know those bellies can take a lot of filling - but it sounds like everyone picked well with delicious cooked breakfasts, smoothies and cold drinks! Thanks again for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed your breakfast at Bayaroma! Jess :)

Located on the Esplanade, there is either alfresco or inside dining or takeaway which is extremely popular. Since COVID19, the availability of tables have reduced so suggest you make a booking if you want to dine in. The efficient and friendly staff are always on the ball and we enjoy breakfast at Bayaroma on a regular basis.

We are long time fans of Bayaroma, but if anything coming back this year, we’ve found it better than ever. The staff are lovely and friendly and the food is yum - and the coffee is fabulous. I can’t say better than that the last thing we always squeeze in before we leave the Bay is a Bayaroma brekkie!

We went to have breakfast at this place while in Hervey Bay. I ordered eggs Benedict. I ask for crispy bacon & runny eggs. The girl who served me mad a comment that there pouched eggs are always runny. I also order Bacon & eggs with hard fried eggs & crispy bacon. When our breakfast came out bacon was burnt black my eggs where
Hard. I took my breakfast back to counter & spoke to different lady she said sorry & took my breakfast back. When it came back bacon had been put back on grill which burnt it more & oil dripping off it. Eggs where soft but taken out of water not drained & dumped on toast which then made toast very soggy that u couldn’t eat it. Wouldn’t go back again
