Blue Walnut Cafe Bar & Cinema

You'll find yourself on a quieter stretch of Walnut Road, away from the seafront hustle, stepping into a space that refuses to pick just one identity—and that's precisely why it works. The Blue Walnut pulls off that tricky blend of being a proper café during the day (the coffee's genuinely good), a relaxed bar come evening, and a place where you can catch a film without the multiplex nonsense. It's the kind of spot where you genuinely want to linger, whether you're working on your laptop, meeting a mate for a drink, or settling in for something on the big screen. The independent spirit runs through everything here—this is Torquay doing what it does best when it's not chasing the tourist pound.
