    Smoothie
    Erica K.

    Everything about this place makes me overwhelmingly happy. The location is a bit bizarre, located right across from a caravan park in the middle of a residential development. However, once you find it, you'll immediately want to enter it's cozy facade. There is a gorgeous porch with loads of seating, quirky decor and painted palm trees. We sat outside and enjoyed watching the world go by. We had the banana and tahini smoothie, the avocado smash and the coconut scramble abundance bowl. The food was outstanding, and the smoothie we shared was healthy, delicious and nutritious. It is listed as one of the top 20 places to eat in Australia according to the Good Food Guide. I couldn't agree more honestly! When my parents visit us down under, I'm happily going to driving them 1hr and 45 minutes to eat a meal here. I tell everyone I know that is going to visit Byron to eat here because it is sure to impress people from all culinary walks of life!

    The burrito. I couldn't stop myself from taking a bite before the photo. My bad. It was delicious!

    Let me say this first - this is not the best cafe in the world. But this IS the best cafe in Byron Bay, full stop. I am tired of the stagnant cafe culture in my hometown. The owners are greedy and charge absurd prices (yeah, I understand the argument of expensive rent but still...) and employ wasted, underpaid students or backpackers who tend to be shockingly rude or are just plain assholes. Cue the entry of 'Folk'. To my surprise and delight, I used to be a regular at the owner's old job in Melbourne and I can vouch for the man and his dedication to his craft. This is shown in the simple menu and prices. Nothing is over $14 and it is GOOD FOOD. The waitress was lovely, water was provided instantly and it was a baby-friendly environment which was great because I was meeting my sister, her husband and their baby. I ordered the burrito and I would like to state that Bay Leaf, one of the "better" cafes in Byron, could definitely learn big time from this place. For starters, everything was INSIDE the wrap. The bean mix was subtly spicy and a delight to inhale, the scrambled eggs weren't completely bland nor greasy and over-buttered plus there was just the right amount of avocado to tie the whole thing together. (See picture.) My sister shared the crumpet with my mother and I had a bite. It was fabulous. (See picture.) The coffee wasn't quite as strong as I would have liked but I won't fault them for it, it sure did the trick. Seriously, if you want a cheap, good breakfast in a nice small venue, go here. Forget Byron and the overpriced wanky "Oh we're so cool because we are in Byron so you may as well pay 2x the price and it's cool to be ignored because you can sit there and make us look busy" bullshit. Please, for the love of god, understand this one basic simple fact: We are paying you for the service too. A fact that Folk certainly understands and rewards you with. I'm going back. And so will you once you've gone there.

    Gr8 loc. Very local 'inhabitants'. Annoyingly busy during Bluesfest but imagine quite nice any other time.

    Great food but limited menu. Rather expensive for very small serves but maybe that's just the way organic produce goes
