Espressohead Cafe — Restaurant in Byron Bay

Exceptional little cafe in the heart of town that locals continue to visit for the same reason staff: mostly the infamous Duncan! A man renown for his strategic capability and customer centric standpoint. An absolute gem to the community. We've been meaning to leave a review for a while and finally got around to it! LOCATION: Centrally located with ample on street parking and outside seating - allowing for those with dogs/ large prams etc. MENU: Ample options inclusive of vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. STAFF: Attentive and incredibly lucky to have Duncan on board - a celebrity can-do guy of sorts in the Australian community. Whether he's helping out with the dishes, food service or management - like all of us who visit - if you manage to get here on a day he's helping them out - you won't be disappointed. OVERALL: Great little spot to eat in town with a true steward of customer...

A heads up would've been nice, instead of bitching – we are just tourists and didn't know.

A tip for the staff: if there's an issue, just let us know instead of the covert...

Please please do not waste your money here. I’d rather give it to one of the homeless people sitting outside the shop. My partner and I got the “pancakes”. What we actually got was a burnt flour and egg mixture. It was so horrible, hospital food would be better. We spoke to one of the staff about our concern of the food not tasting right, we said we were prepaid to pay for one as we had only eaten 2 bites out of both and she said there’s nothing wrong with it and we will be having to pay for both. Really bad customer service. If a customer is politely telling you there’s something wrong with the food don’t come back with smart comments saying that it tastes fine when clearly it doesn’t. Again do not waste your money. Horrid food, horrid...
