I’ve been here twice now (for breakfast) and it hasn’t disappointed. The menu has fresh takes on classic dishes as well as unique items too. The food is just divine, using fresh ingredients, herbs and spices. The drinks specials are great too - you can also add boosters to them. I really really recommend getting the Souk Sunrise and the Banoffee Coffee. To top it off, the service from their super friendly staff was faultless!!

A must try cafe when in Byron bay! Staff are lovely, and very good at what they do. I got the scrambled eggs which were amazing. So tasty and full of flavour. Partner got the banana bread which was some of the best we’ve had in ages. The team in kitchen sure know what they are doing here 👏

A really chilled, easygoing spot. The atmosphere is laid‑back and welcoming, and you feel comfortable right away. Brunch is great, the coffee is excellent, and the banana bread is a definite highlight. Service is friendly and relaxed, perfectly matching the vibe. A place you’re happy to come back to.

Wategos Beach
Directly above the sand at Wategos Beach, Raes Dining Room is Byron's most location-loaded fine dining address. Mediterranean-leaning seafood, full-occasion pricing, and a room that makes the most of one of the coast's prettiest coves. Book the terrace.

Corner of Jonson Street, Folk is the kind of all-day café that earns its place through good bones rather than spectacle. Warm timbers, honest café fare, mid-range pricing, and a front-row seat to Byron's main strip.
