With amazing coffee, and a pork saddle I could make love to, lunch here on a summer's day is simply divine. Beautifully prepared food, sourced from local suppliers, you can really taste the difference. These aren't peas from a tin, but perfectly cooked garden fresh peas that burst with flavour. The street is full, the restaurant is busy, so I guess it's no secret after all. I've been meaning to come here for a while and am glad I made the trek. Check out the attached deli and bakery too if you have the time (make the time!)

In a way Harvest is quite similar to Three Blue Ducks, the restaurant we dined in on previous night, as they both source the freshest and best ingredients locally. If you have decided to come here, you are expected to pay more than elsewhere because of the care and love they have put into sourcing these fresh ingredients. We thought the quality of the food these two restaurants have provided were very similar. We have enjoyed the oysters, fish of the day for two, which was barramundi, and the grilled pumpkin and fermented onions. Harvest is perhaps slightly more creative with their flavours. However, we received much more professional and attentive service from Harvest. Harvest is definitely worth the drive from Byron Bay if you are prepared to pay more.

The owners chatted about their cakes and about their trading hours. They are open as from 1am! Wow, couldn't believe it. As the owners explained they have a number of taxi drivers, bus drivers and travellers buying their products all hours of the night. My companion and I enjoyed a steamy hot coffee with our cakes and I know we will return there soon.

Sorry, Carrara locals, but the jig is up. I know your secret, and your secret is Maurita, located…read morein the Carrara Food Fair (Coco's). It's preposterous how cheap you guys get some killer basic Italian nosh! Absolutely ludicrous! Coffee and cake for only $2.80? Okay, so I'm too afraid to try the coffee. But it's not like I come to Maurita every single time I am down the coast for the coffee... It's the cannoli. A mere $3 each shell, with fillings of vanilla custard, chocolate custard, or--my personal favourite--ricotta and fresh cream, otherwise known as cannoli Sicilliani. Be still, my beating heart. Ever since the guy at work who lives down on the GC brought in a whole jenga stack of cannoli for us office drones, I have been a fan. For my birthday at work earlier this year, my only request was "CANNOLI, PLEASE". Any time I've had to do a work favour for this guy, I've asked for payment in cannoli. And then, earlier this year, I was down on the GC for a day, and I realised... I could have it all. I could have my cannoli and eat it, too. I could visit Cannolo Mecca. The work guy coughed up the name and address and it was immediately added to my itinerary. It wasn't until I got to Maurita that I discovered it's got a lot more going on than just cannoli, though if they wanted to close down everything else there and just focus on cannoli, I'd still be okay with it. I'm not sure the locals would agree, though, because the couple of times I've been there myself now, it's been swamped with people at the small, cramped seating areas both inside and outside, stuffing their faces with as much savoury as sweet. $3 bruschetta, $4 pizzas, $4.50 salad rolls, $5 focaccias, $5 lasagna with salad & crusty bread... this is getting out of hand. What about global inflation!? Look, my only problem with writing this review is that now I really want some more cannoli and I'm not sure when I'll be able to get my next fix. Better go see if that guy at work needs any favours.

Highly recommended.

Mon Patisserie Francais!!!!…read more I miss these so much since coming to Australia as there just seems to be a lack of French pastry shops in general in this country, so I have been substituting them for TimTams. I came to Byron Bay with a student organization, and we had basically time for us to just hang out and do whatever we want. While walking through the shopping area, the first thing that drew me was the wonderful glass display of all the amazing and delicious pastries they have!!! They were practically calling out to me. My friends and I opted for the 12 piece pastry box which was basically small sized samples of each of their popular, if not, favorite pastries. This was the best way to go since the pastry box gave us a taste of everything!
