Known for banana bread with candied pecans that borders on legendary. Bayleaf partners with Gold Coast roaster Blackboard for ethically sourced coffee, and the brunch menu rotates seasonally. Grab a spot on the terrace early — this place fills by 8am on weekends.
Came here on a trip to Byron. Found on Google and had a good rating. Came on a Monday morning g around 10. Decently busy but we got a seat for two. Ordered coffee and came out quickly. Coffee was great. Also ordered their banoffe banana coffee (special) wow never had a coffee like that before, smooth and delicious. Ordered the food and the eggs all seem to have a Japanese flair. Was the best Japanese pancake and egg combo I’ve had! Would recommend if you’re in the area!
A must try cafe when in Byron bay! Staff are lovely, and very good at what they do. I got the scrambled eggs which were amazing. So tasty and full of flavour. Partner got the banana bread which was some of the best we’ve had in ages. The team in kitchen sure know what they are doing here 👏
Hands down one of my favourite cafes in Byron Bay, I would go here every time I come to Byron Bay. The staff are always so friendly, happy and chill. The food always hit the spot, fresh, and healthy too. My favourite dish is the okonomiyaki.

Byron Bay
Corner of Jonson Street, Folk is the kind of all-day café that earns its place through good bones rather than spectacle. Warm timbers, honest café fare, mid-range pricing, and a front-row seat to Byron's main strip.

Byron Bay
Tucked into Jonson Lane, away from the main-street circus, Bang Bang keeps things casual and affordable. The kind of spot that rewards locals who know their way around the back streets of Byron.

Wategos Beach
Directly above the sand at Wategos Beach, Raes Dining Room is Byron's most location-loaded fine dining address. Mediterranean-leaning seafood, full-occasion pricing, and a room that makes the most of one of the coast's prettiest coves. Book the terrace.
Byron Bay's best breakfast spots fill before 9am on weekends. From the legendary banana bread at Bayleaf to a terrace table above Wategos Beach at Raes, the morning food scene here is worth setting an alarm for. A local-edited guide to where to go, what to order, and when to show up.
Byron Bay mornings run on good coffee, long tables, and banana bread that actually earns the reputation. Autumn is the best time to do it: the crowds have thinned, the light is softer, and the town's best cafes have room to breathe. Here are ten worth your morning, from the coffee purists on Lawson Street to the hinterland quiet of Possum Creek.
I’ve been here twice now (for breakfast) and it hasn’t disappointed. The menu has fresh takes on classic dishes as well as unique items too. The food is just divine, using fresh ingredients, herbs and spices. The drinks specials are great too - you can also add boosters to them. I really really recommend getting the Souk Sunrise and the Banoffee Coffee. To top it off, the service from their super friendly staff was faultless!!
The crème brulé french toast is such a brilliant variation on a classic. The coffee float (bayleaf experience) was also great and I thought quite a fair price at $10. We also had the scrambled spesh which was a firm 9/10 but if I got it again I'd add some bacon or something, maybe that's just me though! We had to wait around 20 minutes for a table at 11:00 on a Sunday (which they told us upfront) and it was easily worth the wait. Staff all very friendly and service was fast once we were in.
