Well, I found this place as I was walking down one of the streets and it was lovely. In fact, it went beyond lovely to actually be nothing short of great. The staff were really friendly and welcoming, even though they will still in the throes of opening up, and the tea was nothing short of perfect. It also had just a really great, and relaxing, atmosphere.

My husband and I were staying in a backpackers hostel nearby whilst visiting Byron Bay and decided…read moreto go out for lunch one afternoon after browsing some of the surrounding shops. For being relatively early in the day during her week, Mokha on Lawson was about as full as a place its size can get which further peaked our interest, but we were lucky enough to snag an outside table on the sidewalk. We both decided on the pumpkin burger - it looked too unique to pass up. It was a great choice, and something both vegetarians and carnivores alike could enjoy. Crusted in black sesame seeds and bursting with flavour, it was a perfect choice for a cool windy day. The potato wedges were just fine. Overall for a quick lunch, it was a great choice. I wish I had gotten the chance to try the breakfast - that looked delish too!

On a recent trip to the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales Yum Yum Cafe was our go-to…read morebrunch, coffee, dinner haunt. I echo another reviewer in my praise for owner, Manfred Rudolf, and his team. They put on a great show every visit. The standout experience was definitely dinner on a Saturday night. Yum Yum Tree is located in a really special spot. Directly across the road from a mangrove lined estuary, amidst the lush subtropical rainforest dotted with weird and wonderful holiday shacks, and a mere stumble to the beach. As we sat at our cute candlelit table, the breeze funnelled down the road and made the atmosphere just right and the beading sweat on our foreheads redundant. Manfred had swapped his breakfast-lunch tank top and shorts for something a little more fitting of the linen-napkin dinner spread, and engaged us in genuine, light-hearted banter. He and his wait staff appeared when you needed them, "shall I top you up?", and disappeared when the reflection of the stunning surrounds was to be shared by only two. Entree of buffalo mozzarella was substantial and as fresh as it comes. Beautiful rosy-red tomatoes, as in season as you will get, accompanied creamy though subtle white disks of cheese. A basil leaf per mouthful cleansed the whole thing; acting as the roots, the glue, that made this simple food so of the earth. Mains were panfried snapper - fresh and local, of course - with kipfler potatoes, a refreshing citrus salad, and an assertive salsa verde, and butter-like venison served with asparagus and potato rosti and a cheerful balsamic sauce. For dessert, a 'bush tucker' creme brûlée with lemon myrtle and ginger, and a side of to-die-for-I-kid-you-not raspberry coulis. The thing I like most about Yum Yum is how understated it is. Just like the location. The ingredients do speak for themselves. That's how it should be. All the time!

Great service, ambiance is on point and the speciality coffee is probably the best i've ever had.read more

In addition, they have a sit down restaurant. I saw a porchetta on a rotisserie above an open fire in the back. The staff is super nice, and their baristas make a mean flat white or long black. In addition to the tart, we had a beef pie and bacon quiche. I forgot the individual cost of each item. However, the total was $50 AUD inc the coffees. The tart was massive, and it tasted so good. The custard was nice & creamy and that crust. Likewise, the quiche and pie had nice crusts, and were full of fillings. No lack of meat here. Regarding the ambiance, its open air and you can order casual or sit down. There were a lot of people mid-morning on a Sun. TBD was a very pleasant way to have a first meal of the day. The tart is a must!
