Folk Byron Bay

Folk is a leafy plant-based cafe on the corner of Ewingsdale and Skinners Shoot Roads, just out of the town centre. The pull for dog owners is the garden: a roomy, shaded outdoor area where dogs are openly welcome, away from the main-street crowds.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor garden, on lead, and the cafe makes a point of it. Indoor seating is for people only, as standard. Water bowls are usually out in the garden and the staff are dog-friendly, though it is worth carrying your own bowl. The garden is rustic and can be busy, so keep your dog settled near your table.

Good to know. It is known for plant-based breakfast and lunch, good coffee and a relaxed boho garden setting that suits a longer, calmer sit than a footpath table in town.

Getting there. It is at 399 Ewingsdale Rd, on the main road in, with the entrance off Skinners Shoot Road. There is unsealed on-site parking that fills quickly, so arrive outside the mid-morning breakfast peak if you want an easy spot.

Nearby with the dogs. The quiet lanes around Skinners Shoot Road make for an easy scenic walk before or after coffee, and Tallow Beach with its on-lead and off-lead zones is a short drive away.

Come early or mid-afternoon for a calm garden table and the best shot at parking.
