Otherside Cafe — Restaurant in Byron Bay

Charging $1.00 extra for 2 people to sit outside? This is Byron Bay not Venice. I can understand in Europe why they do this as you have hundreds of people waiting for a table so there’s a premium. But the morning we went for coffee, there half a dozen free tables outside to sit on, so not really in high demand. The fact this is not communicated up front as well is poor, we had to find out when paying. Just be open and honest about it to begin with.

And the food was made fresh, & served promptly. Can't wait...

This cafe was good, but the coffee was nothing special (just basic coffee and milk, no cafe art, no decor- very basic). The food we had was of decent quality (smashed avo and sweet potato wrap). The menu was minimal and many of the ingredients had run out, so left us with minimal options. Had to go to the other side of Byron to get there (hence the name). Staff were short and disinterested.
