Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Pottsville

"If there was an award for the most hipster breakfast spot in Byron then The Topshop would be a solid contender for the title!. Despite being a little out of the main centre of town The Topshop is always busy and their all day menu is great value for money, with brekkie options starting at $13.50. Whether you fancy a vegan BLT (my personal fave), an omlette bowl or an avo bagel everything is well priced and will hit the spot!"

"A Byron brunch staple since 2008, the Top Shop team converted this former 1950s milk bar on the hill into a thriving eatery, making use of its original signage and adding hand-built furniture and surf memorabilia. The café has a reputation for small-town hospitality and healthy brunch offerings with ingredients sourced from Byron farmers. These include açaí and granola bowls, the vegan BLT and a bacon and egg roll."

"Spot the corner cottage with people spilling out onto the street and you’ve found Top Shop: home of the best breakfast burger selection in town. There’s the Bacon and Egg Roll – as hearty as it is popular. The Omelette Roll, featuring free range eggs, parsley, spinach and cheese."

"Everyone will find plenty to enjoy on Folk’s plant-based menu – it’s a vegetarian/vegan’s dream, and the options are so good that even avowed carnivores won’t miss the meat. The café prides itself on using local, ethically sourced produce to create dishes that look (almost) too good to eat. Our local insider’s top tip is the buckwheat banana hotcakes, and the coffee is exceedingly good, too – you’ll be able to take it with your choice of dairy-free milks."

"An absolute favourite from the moment they opened their doors, this darling little café is tucked away off busy Ewingsdale Road, next to a caravan park, in an adorable little house. Open from 7:00am-3:30pm, the team at FOLK are all about serving good, organic, local and ethical food in a really lovely and welcoming setting. Wholefoods is the focus here and all products are made in-house."

"A kiosk we found off the beaten track, Folk is the epitome of a cosy, sunny spot to escape to. The team at Folk are committed to plant-based eating and make all their products in house. The space is light and spacious, complete with great tunes and plenty of laughter."

"Considered to serve some of the best coffee in Byron Bay, the Bayleaf Café brews Marvell Street Coffee. Marvell is a popular local coffee bean so that puts Bayleaf as a favourite among residents. The Daily Grind blend is also a top seller since it pairs well with milk, and there are rotating special drinks like the recent Vietnamese Iced Coffee."

"This busy and delicious cafe serves up breakfast and lunch, and is one of the best hot-spots in town. As well as their unique, wholesome menu, they also have a shop on premise, with cute homewares and packaged foods!"

"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."

"Similar to my passion for vegan burgers is my passion for anything placed between two slices of toasted bread. Enter: Combi’s Vegan Toasted Sandwich. I’ve never been the biggest fan of pumpkin, but the melted vegan cheese combined with the soft pumpkin and oiled, crispy toast is the ultimate comfort food."

"This funky south-end cafe is serving up healthy feeds and good vibes every day. The specialty is obviously their award winning acai bowls, but their delicious seasonal menus feature plenty of tasty hunger-busters too."

"Cape Byron Lighthouse is probably the most famous photo spot in Byron Bay. Not only is this where you will find Australia’s most easterly point, but its picturesque vantage point makes it a great spot to watch both the sunrise and sunset, whilst also dolphin spotting!. TOP TIP – Cape Byron Lighthouse is a lot busier on the weekend, so if you can I would come midweek."

"The café sits atop a cliff beside the Byron Bay Lighthouse overlooking the magnificent Byron Bay coast, a great stop after a long hike. For a touristy spot, the café serves surprisingly good coffee. They also have a variety of food items and sweets as you sip and enjoy the sweeping views of the sea."

"We have great organic coffee, plus decaf coffee, chai, Tumeric Lattes and a selection of fine local teas. We sell the best ice creams in the world which are locally made each day at "In The Pink" Gelateria in Byron Bay."

"Part of the Cornerstone Stores, this beautiful brick cafe features a primarily vegetarian menu using locally sourced ingredients. The airy venue creates an absolutely dreamlike atmosphere for your morning coffee. We’ve got our eyes on the winter breakfast salad, served with roasted baby carrots, quinoa, mushrooms, kale, tomato and Japanese carrot and ginger dressing."

"This not-so-secret swimming hole is just 15-minutes inland from Currumbin Beach and the perfect place to escape the crowds. Here in the valley, kids swing on ropes and leap off ledges into the cool, fresh water while parents lounge in the sun. Dogs are welcome and there are picnic tables, a barbecue area, toilets and a local convenience store just across the road."

"Located in the beautiful Currumbin Valley, Currumbin Rock Pools has everything you need for a great family day out. There is plenty of shade, ample picnic tables, and best of all, the rockpools!. Test your bravery and climb the rocks, but be careful not to jump into the water from too high!"

"Currumbin Rock Pools are a 15-minute drive from Currumbin Beach. The drive is beautiful. Currumbin Creek Road follows the creek inland through the lovely Currumbin Valley."

"Open green space, trees to relax under and simple facilities await in this local park near Currumbin Sanctuary. Tagged as : , Parks & gardens"

"Numinbah Forest Reserve is located at the foothills of the Border Ranges, just 40 kilometres North of Murwillumbah, or 25 kilometres South-West of Nerang. It is one of the most popular natural attractions in Queensland..."
