Butcher Baker

Byron Bay & Northern NSW


Let the aroma of freshly baked sourdough lure you in, then stay for the crispy pork belly or perhaps a beef bacon burger at this cafe run by a local husband-and-wife team inspired by the two namesake artisan trades. Housed in a heritage building, it also offers a menu of delicious hot speciality sandwiches, or drop by for late-arvo tapas and craft beer.
