Hyde Bellingen — Restaurant in Bellingen

A bustling cafe filled with cheerful faces and efficient service, a haven of hospitality… except for one tiny little man with a hat who’s determined to rain on everyone’s parade.

While the rest of the team radiates warmth and professionalism, one pint-sized protagonist stands out like a sore thumb, dishing out sarcasm and superiority with every order. It’s as if he missed the memo on customer service and instead decided to pen his own manifesto on how to alienate patrons one eye roll at a time.

But fear not, brave caffeine seeker, for the beacon of hospitality shines bright despite this one sour note. The other staff members, with their genuine smiles and helpful demeanor, work tirelessly to ensure your experience is nothing short of delightful.

So, if you find yourself at this cafe, don’t let the antics of one grumpy gnome ruin your day. Bask in the warmth of the friendly faces around you, and remember: for every tiny tyrant, there’s a team of shining stars ready to make your visit memorable for all the...

Honestly, it saddens me to have to leave a bad review for a business. Saturday, April 26th — I’m a tourist, it was my first time in the area, just passing through the town. I stopped to get a coffee at 6:50am because I saw all the tables set outside, the lights were on, and staff were inside. The door was open, so I walked in. I didn’t even get the chance to say hello before I was kicked out in a humiliating way. The reason was that they open at 7am. I would have gladly waited 10 minutes without any problem. But honestly, I didn’t even get a word out — through gestures telling me to leave and a raised tone of voice, I was kicked out. That was my breakfast — a completely bitter feeling. I’m sharing this for the owners to be aware of the type of treatment happening at their place. And if it was the owner who treated me this way, well… there’s nothing more to say. There were two people, a woman and a man. It was the man who rudely...

To be honest.. WOW

I was frothing over this caramel slice before I even got in the car to head over here and whoa, no disappointment to be had whatsoever. This thing lives up to its hype, was very tempted to sneak a second one to take home for later.

See picture below for view of the space, ambience was awesome.

Beautiful eco-friendly focused concept homeware and clothes store on one side and deliciously tasteful cafe on the other. Big sexy wooden tables, none of which matched in excellent style. Tunes on point. Big sky lights in the roof and big windows everywhere make for a fantastic naturally lit feel which is often hard to achieve.

VA coffee machine - thank you for housing the best, you can taste it. LB was good, soy FW also good.

But wait there's more!! Blueberry shake with maca milk with local honey and ice cream holy baby Ganesha was that thing on fire.

This place is a 5 star winner, don't skip it if you are...
