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.

Sticks & Stones is very welcoming and clean with a fun ambiance. I enjoyed the berry smoothie (sooo delicious 😋) and my burger was fantastic (my boyfriend and I shared a burger and this was cut in half for us without any issues). Tasty tucker...indeed and I enjoyed every sip & bite. The team working there was super friendly & helpful without being intrusive. There were both indoor and outdoor seats but all was undercover. I would recommend this cafe to anyone visiting Torquay.More

A modern take on classic Turkish cuisine. Tasty full flavoured dishes that were brought out rather quickly (a good thing). I had the vegan burger, nothing to fault, better than average. Also tasted the Dolma dish, string flavours on a nice rustic salad. Plenty of...other option to choose from on the menu. Nice & friendly staff.More

Had brunch today at this cafe. Staff were very pleasant and carried out their job with aplomb. Chose “Beans” and “Italian Omelette “. These were both very tasty, good and hot and ample in size. Coffee was also very good. A pleasant beachy decor. I...recommend a visit here.More

Decent coffee. We ordered lamb burgers and roasted mushrooms. They were very tasty especially the pouched eggs. The service was good and non intrusive. Good stopping by cafe.

Lovely hidden gem down an short alley after surf shops. Staff are super friendly, polite and welcoming. Love to engage in small conversation. Order and pay at counter. Table service is excellent. Food is of excellent quality: fresh, hot, tasty. Coffee and juices were perfection...plus. Highly recommend for either brekky or lunch(open till 4). Would be a great place for family groups to enjoy a late dinner and drinks, if it was open.More

This is our favourite cafe in Torquay for a great coffee. The owners are a lovely family who take great pride in serving a quality cuppa. It operates from early morning to late afternoon so great for btrakfast or lunch.
