Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Byron Bay

"Byron General Store, which dates back to 1947, has been transformed into an eco-friendly, predominantly solar-powered café by Byron residents Ben Gordon and Phil Taylor. Expect reclaimed wooden furniture, compostable takeaway packaging and a 10 percent discount for diners who walk or cycle to the store, plus 50 cents off your coffee if you bring your own mug. All menu items are vegan unless labelled otherwise and are made from produce grown locally."

"Serving locals and travellers since 1947, Byron Bay General Store is a long-standing favourite in the Byron cafe culture. They source produce from only the best local and organic farmers in the area which directly translates to healthy, high quality food. Mostly a plant based cafe, this cafe is best known for its amazing smoothie bowls."

"Coffee before cocktails is essential, and it’s unlikely you’ll find a better cup in Byron than at Top Shop. As the name suggests, this locally loved café sits on the top of a hill, and is best known in town for serving up excellent, single origin coffee, along with a tasty range of burgers and sandwiches. Heads up — this place can get rather busy, so just in case you can’t find a seat, do as the locals do and sit on the grass by the road for a makeshift picnic."

"Smoothies, single-origin coffees and delicious pastries offer a sweet finish to a cafe menu boasting an unmatched burger selection. From beef to chicken, mushroom to halloumi, your taste buds will find what they’re craving on The Top Shop’s blackboard menu, all served between house-made buns. Gather around a table in this popular local hang-out or sprawl out on the grass under blue skies."

"It’s just a five-minute walk from the centre, but this former 1950s milk bar feels like a real find – until you see the queue for coffee, at least. Top Shop has limited seating, so meals are served in eco-friendly disposable packaging and most patrons stake out a patch on the grassy knoll out front."

"399 Ewingsdale Road, Byron Bay www.facebook.com/folkbyronbay Self-described as ‘organic, ethical, and plant-based’, Folk is quintessentially Byron. The cafe is a quiet oasis that sits on the outskirts of town and focuses on hearty but healthy breakfasts and quality coffee. Like any joint in the beachside district (even one a hop skip and a jump from the main drag) Folk is popular and there can be a wait for tables at times – but for those who can’t stomach the thought of a queue the eatery has a younger sister in nearby Bangalow,"

"It’s also popular with flexitarians who come here to eat and eat well. Our favourites at the garden café tacked onto a caravan park, where tree stumps serve as stools and railway sleepers define the veggie patch, include the smashed avo on organic sourdough (of course) with house-made dukkah, garden greens and toasted seeds or the Folk burrito with spiced biodynamic brown rice and quinoa with organic black beans, spiced kraut and cumin-roasted pumpkin."

"If you’re vegetarian or vegan, then you’ll quickly fall in love with the menu options at Folk. Add to this the dreamy, Instagrammable garden setting and swinging tunes, and you’ve got yourself a killer breakfast spot!. View this post on Instagram"

"Whenever you walk by this Byron Bay café expect to see it overflowing- the food and vibe are so good it’s always packed with locals and visitors alike. The interior décor and outdoor seating at this café ooze quintessential bohemian Byron charm and the food is delicious, with plenty of vegetarian options. Address: Corner Jonson & Marvell Street, Byron BayHours: Monday- Sunday 7 am – 2 pm"

"Again, this one was recommended by locals, but it’s clear tourists know about it also. Be prepared to line up. But, it is 100% worth it."

"Another super popular spot for breakfast in Byron Bay is Combi, with its central location. Out of all the options on the list their menu is probably the smallest – but the real draw here is their epic acai and smoothie bowls, with the Organic Chia Party being my pick of the bunch. If you’re not feeling those there are some staples on the menu too – including avo on toast, toasted sandwhiches and even the unusual, but popular Sweet Sprouted Bread – which combines toasted sprouted bread, tahini and bannana all drizzled with local honey."

"Healthy doesn’t have to mean boring, and Combi’s range of raw and organic dishes proves it. Think smoothies, cold-pressed juices, superfood bowls and raw vegan cakes (all of which are sugar- and gluten-free), served in a refreshingly airy space with a slightly tropical vibe. There is also a good range of organic, fair-trade coffees and teas to accompany your food, and a refreshing commitment to avoiding all single-use plastics."

"When the sun is out, the pavement hot and the carparks rare, stop in at Combi to cool your jets and reinvigorate. The smoothies here—adorned with roasted coconut and edible flowers—are almost too pretty to slurp and the acai bowls some of the biggest and best value in the whole of Byron."

"Just down the road from Byron at Byron, the Roadhouse is always buzzing. Recently under new management, the team at the Roadhouse serve delicious Allpress Coffee and pastries, brekkie rolls, hearty porridge and other breakfast goodies in the morning. In winter it is really nice to grab a table inside by the fire, but on warmer days there are plenty of big tables outside in the sun under the tress."

"From toned surfers to boho babes, The Roadhouse is the place to see and be seen in Byron. This laid-back, yet trendy cafe offers a menu filled with vegetarian options. It boasts wholesome and nutritious options, which are curated from ingredients that are sourced and foraged locally."

"If you love coffee, don’t miss Espressohead on your visit to Byron Bay. This brunch hotspot has been around for over 15 years and is renowned for its quality house blend, as well as its extensive range of teas, smoothies and juices. Then there’s the food, which caters to all cravings, whether you’re hungry for French toast, homemade muesli, a build-your-own breakfast or a Vietnamese rice pancake with fried eggs, herbs and chilli-lime dressing."

"Espressohead has long been a favourite Byron cafe, and with breakfast this good, it’s no wonder hungry travellers come back again and again. Espressohead has something for everyone, including a range of vegan and gluten-free options. You can build your own big breakfast from scratch, or opt for one of the cafe’s classics, like the grilled chorizo and house-made baked beans pictured above."
