"Best coffee in the Manning Valley! As self confessed coffee snobs this is without the best coffee around. Great varied snacks, super friendly staff and a nice chilled atmosphere very fitting of beautiful Old Bar!"

"V cool place, great coffee and toasties, and a beautiful outside setting of some picnic tables, crates with cushion under the beautiful shady trees ... a gem in Old Bar, really nice staff too. A little slice of Surrey Hills or the Inner West on the mid north coast, without the city congestion or angry people. I'd love it to remain a secret but it's already got a great vibe, buzzing (but always get a seat) and they deserve to do well of course! We had 2 large flat whites, a Reuben and a triple cheese and the toastie. Will try sweets next time. Love it. Perfect coastal Cafe."

"Very pleasant coffee and vibe (simple sweet & savoury food offerings look good - I didn’t have anything today). Not unsurprisingly 7am is peak hour for locals grabbing take-away coffees!"

"Awesome little coffee bar. Staff are lovely, the coffee is great and the vibe is super chill. The toasties are also drool worthy we go every weekend without fail. They've got a fair bitbof outdoor seating and milk crates to grab, but we pack a picnic blanket too on sunny days/holidays."

"Surprising find at Old Bar. Always, when I drove past, it was closed whenever I was there. Last Sunday, it was open. Coffee was rich and creamy and been moderately strong. Soy Milk I tried as well was Happy Happy soyboy. Australian made its probably the best on the market. You can drink your drink in an outdoor setting, listening to the birds in the gum trees. Very pleasent. And yes, they have lactose milk. Closing at 1.00pm in the dot. Open at 6.30am so give them a try also under new management for last 3 months."

"Their coffee was good and doesn’t taste weak, frittata was nice and fresh, and their banana cake was not too sweet. The two men running the cafe were also both friendly and welcoming. Will definitely come back here next time we go to Old Bar."

"Buyi is by far the best cafe in the area, I would go as far as to say the best cafe I have ever been to. I would travel hours to go to Buyi everyday. Tim is so friendly and welcoming and makes sure the service is always top quality. The coffee and food is exceptional and so is the atmosphere. If you are in the area Buyi is a non negotiable! If I could rate it 100 stars, I would."
