Cheap & healthy lunch - Edit
Really cute, relaxed cafe with tables along a patio next to the gardens. Approx 6 hot options and 6 salad options to mix and match from, and a dessert cabinet too. The dishes were fresh, simple and healthy, I really liked the lasagne.
Read moreStill a little unclear on the pricing system, we were charged $40 for 2 plates with 3 options each which was a little more than I thought based off the signage - but still very cheap so not complaining!
Pros: very clean & cute venue, affordable

Lovely Lunch Spot - Edit
We stopped by Manna Haven to pick up some lunch for the beach. It's such a lovely place, laid-back and calm. Everyone there was so kind and welcoming!
Read moreWe got a three dish takeout box - eggplant curry, pumpkin lasagne, spiced potatoes + hummus. The servings were really generous and the food was very hearty and really delicious!!
I am not sure why it's marked as "vegetarian" here, as there was no indication that there were any animal products served at all, and the word "vegan" was all over the place.

Chai is great - Edit
I heard about this cafe being vegan. Sign says vegan cafe. Plates of food for $15 and you can mix and match. The Chai is really good. I got it on almond. Lots of raw vegan treats too.

Nourishing Healthy Vegan Meal at Manna Haven - Edit
At Manna Haven all their meals are based on fresh produce and seasonality which means that they have a set menu, but I think all the options would be great to try as they are nutritious, fresh and yummy. When I was there I tried the pastries and lasagna, head to my blog to check out the photos, the desserts and my thoughts!! https://cookingwithyoshiko.com/nourishing-yummy-vegan-lunch-at-manna-haven-in-byron-bay/

Understated perfection - Edit
From the outside this quaint cafe didn't scream anything particularly spectacular however let me assure you the flavours in every single dish we tried were exquisite and I was heartbroken the next day when it was closed for the weekend. This is a must try above any of the social media famous cafes but get in early before stock diminishes.

Cons: Closed weekends
