The Modern Grocer has very good coffee served in a food loving atmosphere. They go out of their way to get your coffee right and will redo it if you aren't happy. The food (breakfast and lunch) served there is delicious and the gourmet selection for taking home is great too. The atmosphere is fairly unique in that there is only one "table for two" the other two tables are larger refectory style tables. The impact of this is you tend to talk to strangers and sometimes they actually become friends.
It is a lovely intimate environment, located just over the bridge going into Murwillumbah (opposite the RSL). read more
