Outstanding in every way. We dined here around 3pm and found a great choice of foods. The fish and chips was great - not oily and the fish batter was thin which was ideal and made the fish the hero of that meal. The atmosphere was great, it was clean and a nearby table had a birthday and a robot delivered a cake and the staff all sang happy birthday. Better than anything was the customer service. All staff were attentive and passionate and wanted to serve people, and with a smile. Very polite too. Will definitely be back, soon.

I recently dined at By the Bay Cafe with some friends, and we had a fantastic experience! We were in the mood for a cozy brunch, and this place did not disappoint. I kicked things off with a large soy latte, and it was simply divine! Creamy, smooth, and just the right amount of caffeine to start my day. Perfectly brewed! For food, I decided to dive into the Spanish egg omelet, which was fluffy and packed with flavor. The blend of spices and ingredients made every bite a treat. My friends also ordered the traditional Parma, chicken inasal, and calamari salad. The Parma was beautifully cooked, with a crispy crust, while the chicken inasal was tender and juicy, bursting with that classic marinated goodness. The calamari salad added a fresh touch—crunchy, lightly battered calamari paired with a tasty dressing that complemented everything remarkably well. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a casual catch-up with friends. The staff was friendly and attentive, making our visit even more enjoyable. I highly recommend By the Bay Cafe meal and a relaxing vibe. Can't wait to come back and try more of their dishes!
