I had googled for Vegan food in Ballina to take a friend, this didn't disappoint. So many vegan options, we had the tacos - fish and vegan - both delicious, perfect portion size and lovely presentation. A coffee afterwards just capped it off. We sat inside with a nice breeze. The staff were friendly and great service.
This is a really lovely spot. It feels like a local neighbourhood cafe with a charming and friendly atmosphere. Great loose-leaf tea and homemade muffins, and lots of smiles and personal engagement. I have a hard time in cafes where the music is foreground, and they were cheerful in adjusting the volume and style of music.
Absolutely loved it here - best brekky of our trip. Had the brekky burger & green bowl, with a juice & iced coffee - all really great. Sarah was awesome and made us feel very welcome and comfy. We will be back and will recommend to friends! 💛
Great cafe next to the beach! All food was lovely and coffee amazing. We had caramel milkshake which was one of the best we’ve tried so far. Scrambled eggs were so soft and creamy, really delicious. Really good trying coconut feta. And cheese burguer with fries were a game changer. We’ll save the spot for our next trip to Ballina!
Great coffee, lovely staff. Good vibe ✨ sometimes wait times are pretty long but worth it cos the coffee is really good. The food options in the cabinet are super yum, some good options for vegetarian and vegans and the food on the menu (bowl and avocado bagel) were pretty tasty! Got a couple of the cookies to takeaway one …
I chose this café because of the outside dog-friendly eating area, though the wooden and backless benches wouldn’t be my first choice for comfortable seating. It was a busy time, but my brunch was ready surprisingly soon. And what a beautiful presentation! I chose poached eggs on sourdough, with added butter, relish, hash browns and avocado. Tasted as good as …
I had such a great experience at The Belle General. The food and service were both spot on. I ordered the green bowl and it was fresh, full of flavour, and made with really good ingredients. You can tell everything is prepared with care. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. I’ll definitely be …
