Delicious! - Edit
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.

Lovely Lunch Spot - Edit
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!
Read moreWe 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 - Edit
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.

Nourishing Healthy Vegan Meal at Manna Haven - Edit
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/

Understated perfection - Edit
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.

Nothing but great! - Edit
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!
