The Byron Bay General Store

The breakfast is so delicious and fresh. The irony is that the food choice is so enticing that you are tempted (and actually) eat much more than you should. The açaí bowl is not too sweet and full of great fruit and seeds. The banana bread is to die for. There is some kind of vegan cupcake with a date frosting that is so good, it can’t possibly be healthy. But is seems it is. Overall, we highly recommend.

I was walking to Tallow Beach when I came across this lovely café. I met some friendly people and had a nice little chat. The coffee was great! I love coffee and really enjoy visiting cafés with a warm, welcoming atmosphere like this one.

The Byron General Store's "Big Breakfast" offers a standout experience in light and flavourful morning fare. It features quality bacon (crispy, not greasy), perfectly cooked eggs, and a flavourful beef sausage. What truly sets it apart are the exciting additions of perfectly salty and squeaky grilled halloumi, a refreshing and zesty sauerkraut, and a subtly sweet and savoury tomato chutney. The absence of excessive oil ensures a surprisingly light feel. The friendly and attentive service further enhanced the experience, with the meal arriving promptly. If you're looking for a big breakfast that breaks the mould with these creative and quality ingredients, the Byron General Store is a must-visit.

One of our favourite breakkys in Byron Bay! Food was delicious, coffees great and staff were lovely Only negative was that our first dish came out super quick then there was about 15 mins til the second arrived - both on the same order via QR code so not a front of house error 🤷‍♀️

"Wow! The General Scramble" at Byron General Store is an absolute delight! This dish is a vibrant celebration of flavors, starring glossy, perfectly cooked chilli scrambled eggs, a fresh and zesty herb rocket salad drizzled with just the right amount of chilli oil, and served with delicious sourdough bread. The creamy eggs, the peppery rocket, and that fantastic chilli kick create a taste sensation that will leave you wanting more. But it's not just the food that shines! The staff are incredibly attentive and friendly, making you feel right at home. And you can tell the kitchen is staffed with some seriously skilled individuals – the care and precision in every element of the dish are evident. "The General Scramble" is a must-try, showcasing the best of Byron General Store's culinary talent and warm hospitality!

Love this place when we come to Byron. I think they’re the only place that have vegan waffles and they’re so good! Husband had bacon and egg roll which he said was really good too. Coffee was great and smooth, they use Marvell street coffee. Mushroom elixir drink was yummy too. I also got their vegan carrot cake from the cabinet which was amazing and also had a banana choc vegan muffin which was amazing too. The day before I had a mushroom burger takeaway for lunch and was so good too. Highly recommend!

Definitely cornered the merch side of the cafe industry. Food is good and the menu is nice & has some good choices, coffee is nice, it's just slow service, lots of staff, think the laid back atmosphere is reason for slowness in service. Definitely worth going to breakfast, be prepared to wait for a seat.

Stopped by for breakfast and we enjoyed our food and drinks here. My matcha latte and loaded açai bowl were very tasty and generously portioned. Parking a little bit tricky but expected for holiday season. Would come again!

Coffee snobs may want to journey to this slightly out of town surfers cafe because the coffee is consistently excellent. Overall, the food is impressive too; possibly the best acacia bowl I've ever had. Quality for price won't disappoint. Although lots of seating, mostly outside, this place can be jammed. They encourage you to find a seat and then order at the counter, which is nice but odd. Most of the seating is low so it's not ideal for most aging adults. My issues here are that some of the cushions are way overdue a cleaning and it's often very noisy, which isn't how I like to savor my morning cup of coffee.

Use to be one of my favourite destinations for a great hamburger......back we all went. And to our utter dismay the hamburgers have gone...now just veggie ones! Not nearly as good.......this the universal view from all four of us. I have crossed this joint off my preferred destinations and referral list. More disappointing is the web site did not make this change clear...

Awesome spot out of the hustle and bustle of Byron. As well as serving food made with local, organic ingredients they also sell a great range of Byron Bay produce. The menu is great - loved the vegan waffles. There is also a good seating choice with indoor and outdoor options and bean bags to doze off in. Definitely a must-try when in Byron.

Such a cute spot, inside and out! If you love a great burger, you gotta try theirs. I had it bunless, knife and fork style, and it was delicious...great toppings!!!

Great selection of veggie and vegan food, smoothies and bowls. Open earlier than a lot of places in town - great for that pre or post surf coffee! Really lovely bright and airy space and absolutely lovely staff. Totally recommended

The vibes and environment of the cafe was amazing! I got a smoothie bowl and a coffee and both were delicious! It is quite expensive but definitely worth it.

If you've just arrived in Australia, are suffering from jet lag, and wake up insanely early every day, you can head up to the lighthouse to watch the sun rise, then head down here at 6:30 (they start serving food at 7). Food is reasonably priced, coffee is very good and complex, with the faintest (and very pleasant) hint of licorice flavor. That's actually good, yes. They also serve pastries from Three Blue Ducks if you don't want to schlep 20 minutes for them, but beware: these might not arrive until 7:30. Also, there's a self-contained children's play space, which is incredibly valuable under the aforementioned circumstances.

Great coffee!!! Pies are A-mazing!!! So tasty and huge. Please keep stocking these, I've never had a take away pie so good Aussie burger ("the lot") will fill you up after surfing. I'm told they are great but didn't get a bite Working my way through the smoothies and good so far, Pitaya fav. Bowls look beautiful served in coconut shells Croissants & pain au chocolat sell out too fast and if you get to try one you'll understand why. Little raw and vegan treats are delicious Vegan, vegetarians and meat lovers all served here. Kombucha on tap. The "general store" part has Sourdough bread, buns & baguette on sale, mueslis, dairy fridge, drinks fridge, sauerkraut and several other goodies including keep-cups & bottles
