Our selection of best breakfast spots follows. There are many other eateries in Bellingen.

Swiss Patisserie & Bakery (Church Street, opposite Court House, 100m from YHA Hostel)
Who cares about the calories! Start your day here with a pastry and coffee. Sit outside on wrought iron furniture or spread the paper on wooden benches. A taste of home for Europeans.

"The Lodge" (on the Waterfall Way, western fringe of town, 150m from YHA Hostel)
An old Masonic Lodge put to better use as a Sydney-styled cafe. Our pick for the best coffee. Good views west up the Bellinger Valley, or choose the cool eastern verandah away from the afternoon sun. Often exhibits good local paintings and sculpture.

The Old Butter Factory (east of the Golf course, 1.5kms east of the Post Office)
If you're really hungry, this is the one for you. Every breakfast is a small mountain. Fast efficient service. Craft shops to peruse after breakfast. View west over the golf course toward the mountains.
