Wooli Wooli Cafe — Restaurant in Wooli

Read my reviews - macchiatos are my test of good cafe coffee.

Getting one great macchiato is wonderful. Getting a second one might be an accident. Getting five in a row over three days with two different baristas means that these guys at Wooli know what they are doing.

Each macchiato was a perfectly proportioned one shot macchiato (they asked if I wanted one or two shots). Just the right amount of milk steamed milk to create the layers without becoming a mini cappuccino. The beans they use from Byron Bay are excellent. Interesting that the last macchiato I had on day three was a bit different but still excellent. This is a natural product with the human factor still critical.

Please forgive the impassioned description however getting this right puts this cafe above yet another cafe with a coffee machine.

One morning I felt a bit over stimulated with coffee so I listened to the order of the customer ahead of me (a local tradie) and tried their mango smoothie. I don’t usually fill up on dairy based drinks. In this case I am glad a I did - flavoursome, great texture and oh so refreshing. With no added sugar, it might have even been healthy!

It was late morning so I did not feel like filling up on the usual brekkie or lunch offerings. I spotted a vegetarian quiche. I trusted my eyes and I am thankful the gorgeous looking frittata was a delight. Why? Many cafes place a soupy bland egg mix into tasteless pastry into which unidentifiable veges drown.

The Wooli Wooli Cafe quiche had thin properly cooked pastry with a range of veges that must have been fresh. To borrow a Masterchef phrase, the veges were the heroes of this dish. Their chef made this one - well done - a simple dish made and served well.

There is nothing fancy about this cafe. Pleasant enough inside, I chose to sit outside on a basic wooden bench with my dogs. The combination of friendly customers, pleasant owner and staff and fresh sea air were a winner.

You don’t need to doom scroll on your smart phone to discover the weather prognosis for the area. There is a sandwich board outside with well written and engaging explanation of the weather conditions for your holiday.

Now you know how a simple cafe at a seaside village can...

I really enjoy this café and love supporting a local business with great coffee, but I feel like there’s room for improvement when it comes to wait times and order management. On my last visit, I waited 30–40 minutes for two flat whites and an iced coffee, which was frustrating.

It seemed like they were prioritising smaller, single coffee orders over mine, even though I ordered first. While I understand the logic of clearing smaller orders quickly, it unfortunately meant my wait time was significantly extended.

This café is such a gem, and the coffee is solid, but I think managing orders in the sequence they're received would go a long way in improving the experience for everyone. I’ll still be back because I love this place, but I hope the team takes this...

We've had such a great family holiday in Wooli, with a relaxed laid back atmosphere & not alot to do it's not for those who like to be go go go. We stayed in a beautiful little beachside cottage R&J's which we highly recommend,cleàn,fully accommodating & dog friendly. Wooli has Beautiful clean beaches & river which leads out to the bar into open waters for the boaties making it great for fishing,swimming, exploring & BBQs with family plus the pooch. There are many holiday rentals as well as two caravan parks. The locals are quite friendly. The Wooli bowls club is a great place to have a few coldies, they also have Chinese for dinner meals. We will...
