Blue Walnut Cafe Bar & Cinema

the combination of coffee and cinema under one roof sounds like a novelty until you're actually there, on walnut road in torquay, and it stops feeling like a concept entirely. blue walnut cafe bar & cinema has built something genuinely loyal around it, the kind of place where people come back not out of habit but out of preference. torbay isn't short on places to sit with a drink, but this one holds a different kind of attention. you get the sense that the cinema side isn't a gimmick bolted on, and the cafe side isn't an afterthought either. both things are taken seriously. the regulars here are consistent and vocal about it, which counts for a lot in a town this size. a good reason to show up on a weekday afternoon, coffee in hand, before the next screening.
