Literally the best — I could not fault a single thing. On our first visit, we tried the Beef Pastrami Toastie and the Chicken Sandwich — and wow, they were unreal The ingredients were super fresh, full of flavour, and you could tell real care went into everything. The chicken sandwich even had chips inside — so crispy and satisfying, it added the perfect crunch It was so good that we went back the next day and tried the Ham & Cheese Toastie (classic, can’t go wrong ) and the Beef Kimchi Toastie. I didn’t have high hopes for the kimchi one — most places get it too acidic — but Gooley’s perfected it. The flavour balance was spot on. Honestly, everything we tried was amazing. A must-visit if you’re in Torquay Hidden gem alert!

I've got high coffee standard's and this place gets the tick from me. The owner has great knowledge of coffee beans and this roast was one of the best I've ever had. As a long black drinker you can really tell the quality. The food! Was incredible we halved a sandwich and it was the tastiest bacon and egg roll we have ever had! The quantity and freshness of it is unbeatable. So happy to have stopped by here, great chilled vibes.

Toasties are the specialty. Friendly service and great coffee. A small place with great Toasties. Pastrami with just the right amount of pickles & sauerkraut. Pumpkin had lots of rocket & good flavour. Both rather filling. Delish.
