Lovely cafe,great location and the food is delicious. All the staff are very friendly and easy going.Highly recommend ... my new go to place in Torquay!
Great cosy neighbourhood cafe. My coffee was delicious, big breaky was yum, service was friendly, atmosphere was nice and relaxed, great selection in the menu. Great spot �
Love this cafe. Been there several times only for coffee and finally had breakie which looked at the next table the other day, wanted to try. It was great, the burger. So tasty and crispy. They also have nice coffee too. It's just my personal preference, am not top fan of coffee too sour nor burnt smell. Coffee was nice with great flavor and strong. Recommendable. Sure other food on the menu is good too. Always the one menu simply tells me everything, others will be good too.

I loved everything about this cafe! First, super easy to park, then friendly staff and then, super cosy atmosphere.
Great coffee, and extensive menu!
Also, there is a super interesting Vietnamese ice coffee, which I highly recommend. It is brewed in front of you with condensed milk, just super tasty and yummy!
Super delicious! Wow!!!
Great filipino meals, as well as your standard eggs and bacon! We ended up getting extra takeaway for later on. Coffee was very enjoyable too thankfully!
Unique Filo menu! The ambience and decor are great - loved the greenery in the cafe. Tried the Filipino bowl and El Nido Burger and both were pretty tasty. Something to improve on is perhaps the jasmine rice - seems like it’s reheated rather than freshly cooked in the morning. My personal preference is for the burger to not use brioche - it’s a bit too sweet and overpowering. Tocino was spot on and we liked the coffee.
Lovely little cafe. Service was great both times I visited. Extremely busy on the Sunday, but coffee, food and service were all fantastic.
Such a great little cafe! The staff were amazing and the food and coffee were next level! Highly recommend this place to anyone stopping by!
You can find the El Nido Cafe at one of the entrances to the Dunes Village Shopping Centre. It is the perfect place to grab a bite on the road [with the service station across the way]. Very popular during COVID-19 with their external takeaway window, which was heavily in use while I had breakfast there.
There is limited indoor seating - a bench with bar stools, but outside there are ample tables and chairs. For those waiting for takeaway orders, there is a seating area opposite.
Orders are taken/paid for at the counter, and if you have a keep cup, they will ask you to wait and pass it to them to fill and return when your name comes up. The staff work super hard here and are quite friendly.
They have a range of healthy pre-made snacks, muffins and wraps/rolls. They have a small 'all-day' menu complete with street food, drinks, and cater to your dietary needs.
Recommendation:
El Nido Brekky Burger - fried egg, bacon, hash brown, tomato, cheese, spinach, relish, avocado on a brioche bun accompanied by sweet potato fries.
*From a local source, I was told their dumplings are incredible.
Coffee - they use the St Ali brand, a medium-strength blend, perfect to accompany your breakfast. Like many places around here, they sell their own branded keep cups and other bits and pieces.
A great place for a grab and run snack/drink at reasonable prices and generous portions.
Absolutely incredible food! These guys should have a restaurant on the Torquay Foreshore...clearly the best breakfasts on the Surfcoast!! Do NOT be put off by the location. Cafe El Nido should be judged on its Food! It's a Foodies Delight ♡
