Coffee is serious business in Byron Bay. This region is brewing with creative coffee bean growers and roasters, so open your taste buds to the north coast way of waking up. Try the different blends, and then try some more.
Although it’s tough to pick just 5 spots, here are some of the best in the business, each offering something unique.
Top Shop
Popular cafe and takeaway corner store on top of a hill in a residential area, walking distance from Byron’s Town Centre. Serving Single O Roasters coffee, burgers, sandwiches, smoothies and acai with local organic, free-range produce. A social place where you can sit on the grass, feel the sea breeze and have a chat. Relaxed feel of those carefree summer days of the 70s.
Folk
Welcome to the garden. House made & home grown. A lush atmosphere and great tunes. All of their products are made with love and are vegetarian and plantbased.
Combi
In the centre of town, only a block from the beach. A popular café with a great brekkie menu and reputation for consistently good coffee. Sit in the morning sunshine, read the newspaper and relax with a cuppa.
Suffolk Bakery
Hang out on the ancient recycled timber veranda with your morning brew and a freshly baked pastry. Serving blends from local coffee plantation and roastery, Zentvelds, the brew is fresh and hits the spot. Opens early and there’s a line up most mornings until way after the school bell rings. A sign the coffee’s good.
Harvest Cafe
A picturesque coffee stop before heading into the hills of the Byron hinterland. Sip your coffee on the veranda or grab a takeaway and a picnic hamper from the Deli. Restored vintage Queenslander surrounded by edible gardens in the village of Newrybar. Serves Allpress coffee and a range of freshly prepared gourmet food. Book in for a memorable dinner at Harvest on your way home.
