The Rock & Roll Coffee Company

The Rock & Roll Coffee Company occupies Shop 3 at 55 Burringbar Street in Mullumbimby, serving breakfast, lunch and coffee in a restaurant setting with a Pan-Asian focus. The menu draws on Thai, Malay, Indonesian and Japanese influences, bringing together familiar regional flavours with fresh herbs, vegetables, rice, noodles and house-made sauces.

Breakfast is served throughout the morning and includes both cafe-style favourites and Asian-influenced plates. The menu’s approach extends beyond standard toast and eggs, with tofu, Japanese-style elements, avocado, nori, seeds and savoury sauces appearing across its breakfast offering. This makes the morning menu suitable for diners looking for something more flavour-led than a conventional cafe breakfast.

Lunch continues the Asian direction with dishes built around noodles, rice, curry, soup, wok cooking and slow-cooked meats. Choices include preparations with chicken, beef, fishcake or tofu, while Malaysian laksa and curry-style dishes bring coconut, spice and fresh herbs into the menu. House condiments, including kimchi, chilli jam and teriyaki, add extra layers to the food and give the kitchen a recognisable house style.

Villain Coffee is the venue’s own coffee range, with locally roasted beans sourced from South America and also available in decaffeinated form. The coffee is described as full-bodied, making the venue a practical stop for a morning drink as well as a full meal. Breakfast and lunch dishes can also be ordered for takeaway.

The restaurant encourages shared dining, with dishes and banquet options suited to groups who want to try several flavours together. The format also works for solo breakfasts, relaxed lunches and casual coffee stops. A laneway associated with the venue provides space for occasional music, art and poetry events, adding a creative element to the restaurant’s setting without changing its focus on food and coffee.

For visitors exploring Mullumbimby and the Byron Bay region, The Rock & Roll Coffee Company offers a menu-led experience that combines cafe dining with Southeast and East Asian influences. The venue is open from Monday to Saturday for breakfast and lunch, with table bookings and takeaway available.
