    Delicious food and a quintessentially Byron ambience. We sat at one of the furthest tables from the kitchen and felt like we were picnicking somewhere quite remote! Smashed avocado with haloumi tasted fantastic, zesty and came in a generous serve. Waitstaff are busy but friendly, only one missed request but in breakfast rush hour it's understandable. Coffee was good. Would love to come back and try more.

    This place is pretty much what you would think a cafe in Byron would be like. With folksy vibes, flanked by tall trees, everyone on the menu is vegetarian or vegan. Super wholesome and a beautiful quaint atmosphere. Such a nice place to chill.

    An escape to serenity nestled into rainforest on a back roadside, the sun peeking through the overhead canopy. Soft songs, an ethical menu and kind staff. We stopped in for a coffee and smoothie; my smoothie tasted like a snickers bar 🤤

    Great vibes, good service, pretty pricey, but that's Byron I guess. I had the noodle salad and wish there was a bit more in the meal given the $$ (maybe a few more noods) Really great flavours but still hungry 😔

    Folk is amazing. One of the best breakfast place I have visited. People and place have great vibe. All three options we ordered were mouth watering.

    Coffee of my dreams! This is my no.1 for coffee in Byron - and they cater for all dairy/non-dairy requirements. The food is also delicious. The banana hotcakes are a standout as well. The outside seating area is great for kids - limited inside seating if its a wet day. Love love love this place and would go back in a heartbeat. However, parking is limited and this place gets busy so get in early if you have impatient littlies. As a bonus, the staff are lovely!

    Very good atmosphere - the staff was lovely and the music choices were great. It didn’t feel pretentious like a lot of the other cafes. At first I thought it’d be a bit overprice but actually the portion for my poached eggs with avocado was HUGE and left me more than satisfied. The variety of flavor within the dish was also top notch. I would recommend to anyone visiting Byron.

    Is this the best café ive been to: its right up there Is this the best café I’ve been to in australia - yet : oh yeah! The food (check out the pics): lip smacking The atmosphere: just serene The staff: amazing This café invites you to just soak in the vibe and relax in the morning. I’m coming back to byron bay just for this…. And the sunrise 🌅 ohh and the beaches too 😉 A bit pricey (spent 58$ for two adults and a kid) but worth every penny (read cent) They have a play area for kids too!

    Beautiful cafe, been wanting to visit for a while. Wouldn’t order the matcha again though, looked very dull and didn’t taste great. Wished we got coffees instead based on other reviews they seem to be better. Food was good, but small portions. Definitely a cute coffee spot though.

    Quaint vegetarian cafe located next to Discovery caravan park. Great tasty vegetarian food. Delicious coffee. Good fast service and plenty of seating. The mornings are very busy as everyone at the caravan park is lining up for their caffeine fix!! Recommended if you’re nearby.

    Had lunch here. All I can say absolutely amazing!! Beautiful little spot tucked away from the busy main, but definitely worth looking for!! The poached egg and mushroom dish is seriously one of the best things I’ve ever tasted!! My partner also loved her smashed avo! Cheers

    Having heard whisperings of the legendary soba noodle salad, I made a point of seeking it out and was not disappointed. So much so that I forgot to photo it before I’d already had a bite. The Açai smoothie also delicious and we also had a very tasty halloumi avo smash. The soba noodle salad is the perfect light lunch - essential when trying to keep trim for the body beautiful byron crowd.

    Great food. Chilled out vibes and lovely staff and surrounds. Great to take the kids with, very welcoming and megachilled. Enjoy

  • 5/5 Sophie K. 11 months ago on Google
    Super cute cafe with a relaxed vibe and yummy, healthy food. Lots of different indoor and outdoor seating. We got the avocado toast and açai bowl, both of which were delicious. Would recommend.

    Beautiful place, beautiful food. Classy crowd. Still, I can’t quite put a finger to it but there is something intense about the boondocks vibes that I am not accustomed to.

  • 5/5 Janine P. 1 year ago on Google
    What a beautiful little gem! I couldn’t believe my luck when I found this cafe and went back another two times. Fantastic drinks and food with vegan options, good coffee, very friendly service and comfy outdoor seating. I loved the nourish bowl and the soba noodle salad, both contained an exquisite mix of interesting spices and flavours. Also really really good (and hot!) is the spiced cacao. The only negative experience was that when I cam for the third time we had to wait for 40 minutes to get our drinks.

    Just outside of Byron, this cafe is a must visit during your stay here. Great music, yummy healthy vegetarian menu and really homely and relaxed vibes. Food and coffee arrived quickly and was good value compared with other local cafes.

  • 5/5 Emily W. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious breakfast and coffee! Highly recommend- it was flavourful and fresh. Thought it was better than some of the very popular ones in main part of Byron for same price range.

  • 4/5 Fiona H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great vibe, greenery and cool old tunes. Food was served on an eclectic range of plates our parents / grandparents used to have. Had the buckwheat banana hotcakes. Not too sweet and served with fresh fruit, very nice. The burrito looked popular and quite a large portion. If you need the bathroom, be prepared to go for a walk into the campground next door. My friend has trouble finding an unlocked bathroom block, so we ended up just driving back to our accommodation.

    Lovely little coffee shop right next to the caravan park. Ordered coffees and a banana bread which was delicious and wonderfully decorated. The coconut water cold brew was a new experience. Not sure I’d recommend it personally, but it was an interesting twist on the common cold brew.

  • 5/5 Jason L. 1 year ago on Google
    Of all the places I tried coffee in Byron, this is by far the best place! Wish I had a chance to try their food too. Will be back next time. Staff was also really friendly and the venue definitely had a vibe.
