Right on the corner of Jonson Street, Folk sits at the entry point of Byron's main drag, which means it catches everyone and belongs to no one crowd in particular. The fit-out leans into the name: warm timbers, a relaxed pace, the kind of café that doesn't need to try hard because the bones are right. The menu reads as honest all-day café fare, priced in the middle of the Byron range, nothing that will shock the wallet. Without a deep review record to draw from, it's hard to call a signature dish, but the location alone makes it a natural stop for a morning coffee before the town fills up. Come early, find a seat, and let the foot traffic of Byron's busiest street do the entertainment.

KYLE TAYLORa month ago
I was hesitant this morning to order the poached eggs as the price is higher than I am used to in Canada (normal here) but I was blown away with the quality, taste and even the visual appeal of the food. Truly worth every penny and more. The staff are incredible and the atmosphere was lovely. Definitely a must stop 🤙. We actually came back for lunch as well. Great stuff gang.

Amazing spot nestled next to the caravan park entrance, rare to get a cafe this good in a holiday park like this. Great coffee and food options, friendly staff and amazing outdoor areas to chill in. Good for kids and families as well as individuals. Definitely recommend this place.

Hey Marcus Joseph Chen (20m) back again. My travels have brought me to the strange place of Byron Bay. I haven’t seen this many German tourists since… idk. Although I have only been here for 12hrs I already feel my hair becoming dreadlocks, my skin tanning and my tummy full of probiotics. Probably all the positive chakras and my third eye opening. And oh how my third eye has opened, in the image below you can see my fermented feast of pickles and kefir. I’m glad this place is consciously roasting their coffees as I have been concerned about the epidemic of unconscious roasting that has taken over this country. And so, with my belly as fermented as a sourdough starter and many more beads in my hair I will enjoy the uv 9 of Byron bay. Seems like I’ll be the only one enjoying it since I’m surrounded by these screenagers (pictured left to right: Lindsey jiang, Kate henne, Julia alley). Only uv their enjoying will be from Snapchat for iPad. Not all of us can reach enlightenment this quick, but a cruelty free latte with a house nut milk sure can help. Marcus out.
