    Favourite Cafe in town. Staff are very kind and the cold brew is delicious. I recommend you try the island brew coffee with coconut water and mct oil.

    Visited from the U.S. and it was the best, highest quality cup of coffee during my trip through Australia. The food is outstanding as well. High quality ingredients and seasonal selections. Owner is an avid surfer and closes on the weekends. This is the only downside.

    Hands down the best cafe in Byron Bay. I reckon they add something to their meals and drinks, so we kept coming back. Their bircher muesli is amazing, sweet potato & feta fantastic, mushroom toast is insane and tacos left me speechless. It ticks all boxes: - food - atmosphere - best service Also great for work and dogs. Hell yeah I recommend this place!

    This cafe is THE BEST in Byron. Fantastic coffee β˜•οΈ innovative food. Great wine and friendly atmosphere and service. Sky and Tull are really invested in making your visit to the cafe memorable. You have to go there when you go to Byron. Spirits and beer also available. It's also dog friendly, bonus!!!

    Really nice place, great atmosphere and friendly staff. I’ve had a tumeric refresher and duck egg on toast with relish. It was superb. 😊

    Laid back Byron vibe with great food and a fantastic selection of mushroom coffees. Loved the kimchi brown rice fritters with chilli jam and the Bircher muesli was great. Fresh squeezed orange juice is sunshine in a glass and you can add ginger and turmeric. Super friendly and an extra bonus is it’s right next to Howl and Moan record store

    Very delicious food. Amazingly tasty bratwurst and foods that tasted so good for my health and my gut. Only one downside - the plates everything was served on were so small! If a piece of toast has to hang over the side of the plate perhaps it’s time to increase the size of the plate, especially when it comes time to spreading the beautiful ingredients onto everything. Really lovely service by the well trained staff here. Can’t wait to try some more dishes.

    Favourite cafe in town, and I tried them all in the three weeks I was in town. Great vibes, great music, great staff, cool products, and definitely the best coffee. The fit out is beautiful, it was so nice sitting in the window and watching the world go by.

    Let’s just start by saying you will never experience such an amazing cafe in your life again after visiting this place. From the mind blowing coffee to the mouth watering food. The staff and service are the real deal too!

    ouuuuu this place is SO GOOD. Their selection of adaptogenic drinks is off the chain and make you feel like you're making a better choice for your brain and bod than regular coffee (or is that just me?).. Mush love was my fave - I also added collagen.. But let's talk about the MIX PLATE - OHMYGOD. If you like your ish pickled, do not snooze on this lil smorgasbord of fermented fancies. Eggplant, PICKLED EGG, the tastiest little slice of toast (sprouted hemp seed, that somehow manages to be just slightly moist though toasted?) - cannot emphasize how much I love this meal. Music and vibes were gold - The second day I went back I sat across the same guy from my previous visit- love it when the regulars hang. Just know there is no wifi if you, like myself, want to camp out, drink mushroom drinks til close, and give them all your money.

    Simple avo on toast: all 2 slices and the tip of the bread came burnt like a charcoal in one of the sides and after 25min I made the order we found out my chai hasn’t been placed. After that it took about 10 min to be delivered. I’ve should’ve know the name suggests the staff are high. πŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™€οΈ

    Appalling venue with staff that have no interest in providing service...I feel sorry for owners of such venues whom have no idea how critical and more so detrimental staffing can be to their venue..Rude, self centered & abnoxious staff will sink this place to the ground..I cannot comment on the food or coffee as we didn't get served after waiting for 15mins on a table...Staff simply didn't care as they carried on chatting to some seemingly pre-accuanted patrons whilst ignoring our table...Rude & shocking level of service in what should be common sense in hospitality...
