Vagabond Cafe
A cool, casual and nutritious eatery situated inside the Habitat Retail and Lifestyle Precinct in the Arts and Industrial Estate.
The Vibe
Kickstart your day with avocado on sourdough toast or vegan sourdough crumpets topped with vegan butter and pure maple syrup (yum). There’s Acai berry bowls and sourdough cinnamon scrolls. Come lunchtime and the menu is bursting with goodness – staples include salads, soups and turmeric brown rice veggies.
Drinks include bullet proof coffee, dirty chai lattes and cocao elixirs. If coffee is not your vibe, then enjoy turmeric shots and superfood smoothies. Sip on Byron Bay Cold Pressed Juices who make a rainbow range of blends to cleanse, refresh and energise.
Low blood-sugar? Vagabond Cafe Byron Bay offers a splendour of guilt-free vegan and raw desserts – from gluten-free carrot cakes and raw brownies to spelt cookies and caramel slices.
The Space
Vagabond is intimate indoor- outdoor casual eatery that is open for breakfast and lunch, with smoothies and great coffee. Spread out on the rugs and cushions in the cool shade of the trees. Meet friends here or make new ones. The vibe of Habitat is community and culture – from glowing yogi’s to digital nomads, you’re bound to encounter plenty of interesting folk creating impressive start-ups.
What we love
Simply put, Vagabond opens at 6.30am and the coffee is good. Need we say more? They also serve a wicked immune-boosting Kitchari for breakfast. They also recently opened a produce store next door where you can pick up local offerings. All this, plus Vagabond can be a sanctuary during peak tourist season – a hidden gem away from the crowds.
What’s not to love
It closes early (3pm) and not is open on Sunday.
