Timeline
12:00
Start with a coffee and a quiet seat at The Pond Cafe. It opens at 07:00, but arriving around midday avoids the morning rush while the kitchen is still fully active.
12:45
Walk over to Italo’s Wood Fired Pizza for lunch. The text notes it is usually pretty quiet on weekends around lunch time, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal without the wait.
13:30
Spend some time browsing the shelves at Torquay Books. It is a friendly bookstore with a broad collection and a dedicated kids' section, just a short walk from where you ate.
