Delicious!

Really friendly staff, great set up with lots of open windows and natural light throughout the whole restaurant. The food was delicious - I had the big brekky with scrambled tofu, roasted tomatoes, garlic mushrooms, fresh greens and beans. I couldn't finish it all, it was so big! The green smoothie was amazing! I highly recommend.

Pros: Delicious, Friendly Staff, Nice Vibe

Lovely Lunch Spot

We stopped by Manna Haven to pick up some lunch for the beach. It's such a lovely place, laid-back and calm. Everyone there was so kind and welcoming!
We got a three dish takeout box - eggplant curry, pumpkin lasagne, spiced potatoes + hummus. The servings were really generous and the food was very hearty and really delicious!!
I am not sure why it's marked as "vegetarian" here, as there was no indication that there were any animal products served at all, and the word "vegan" was all over the place.

Chai is great

I heard about this cafe being vegan. Sign says vegan cafe. Plates of food for $15 and you can mix and match. The Chai is really good. I got it on almond. Lots of raw vegan treats too.

Wholesome tasty food

Super fresh and tasty buffet option available for a fast lunch. Menu was fantastic as well, but I was just stopping to grab something quick while working at a building site close by.
Would live to try some menu items as well

Pros: All vegan, Buffet lunch option, Wholesome and large serves

Cons: Too far from where I live

Pros: Loads of vegan options , Delicious, Reasonable priced

Cons: No coffee

Nourishing Healthy Vegan Meal at Manna Haven

At Manna Haven all their meals are based on fresh produce and seasonality which means that they have a set menu, but I think all the options would be great to try as they are nutritious, fresh and yummy. When I was there I tried the pastries and lasagna, head to my blog to check out the photos, the desserts and my thoughts!! https://cookingwithyoshiko.com/nourishing-yummy-vegan-lunch-at-manna-haven-in-byron-bay/

Good lunch

We had a smoothie & chai latte here one morning and went back for lunch. We had vegan lasagne & a lentil potato dish with roast veg salad. The plates are good value for the price. Nice place to sit outside

Understated perfection

From the outside this quaint cafe didn't scream anything particularly spectacular however let me assure you the flavours in every single dish we tried were exquisite and I was heartbroken the next day when it was closed for the weekend. This is a must try above any of the social media famous cafes but get in early before stock diminishes.

Pros: Everything from price to variety to service

Cons: Closed weekends

Best cafe/restaurant in Australia.

Amazing food. All vegan, healthy & hearty. I tried little bits of everything and it was all delicious. I never leave reviews but i had to for this place. Honestly the best cafe ever. Staff are all lovely too. Every time I'm in Byron, I have to come.

The staff here are so lovely. All food is vegan and majority of it is gluten free or they offer gluten free alternatives. The serves are very good and great value for money. I would highly recommend eating here!

Pros: All vegan, gluten free options, value for money

Cons: Not open on weekends (I would go 7 days a week!)

Nothing but great!

We tried all the hot dishes and a salad, it was honestly really really good! The food is really nice, those are simple but effective dishes and it’s cheap! The people running the place are as lovely as it takes and the salted caramel cheesecake 🤤 it’s a raw one, and we’ve never had raw food that was game changing for us, but this cheesecake is worth the try!

Pros: All vegan!, Great food, great prices , Great people!
