Vagabond Byron Bay

Amazing food options with gluten free and vegan available plus beautiful service and a cool jazz atmosphere, somewhere I can see becoming my go to coffee shop for reading my book and a cozy space

I’ve had the most incredible vegan baked treats and healthy meals here. Plenty of gluten free options too. One of my favourite cafes in Byron.

I have been here many times, being a local that works around the corner. It’s never been great and always overpriced for what you get in terms of food and service, but today was special: - They have decided to remove pricing from the menu, I can only assume because their pricing is unjustified. A coffee, banana smoothie, mushrooms on toast with 1 extra boiled egg and slice of pre-made “eggplant galette” (like a vegetarian quiche) cost $68 🤔 - My mushroom on toast came out on a small gluten free bread, I never asked for it, so had to return. I can only assume they charged me for it. - The extra boiled egg was cold, clearly had been sitting in the fridge. Un edible for what is a hot breakfast. - My partners pre-made eggplant galette never came out. She had to remind them when I was finished, no apology, just another stuff up. - They use small side plates to serve their meals, it costs no extra or is any more effort to clean a normal sized plate, you can’t even cut the toast without food going everywhere. The other point is how uninterested the staff are in offering anything that resembles service. If they don’t want to be there, for the sake of the business and its clients they may as well not be. You would be best to avoid this overpriced place, with so many great food and coffee alternatives around Byron.
