Byron Bay Gig Guide - Music, Entertainment and Events in Byron

Oska is possibly the most low-key café in Byron Bay. It’s a cool little establishment on a quiet back street corner, underneath a backpackers, between a language school and a YHA. It has both outdoor and indoor seating, with long wooden communal tables and smaller plastic two seaters. There is a selection of daily papers lying around for those who eat alone or want to ignore who they're eating with, an unobtrusive music collection (usually dub or trip hop), art on the walls and staff who epitomise the balance between relaxed service and prompt coffee delivery. At one point they had a guy working there who either memorised which coffee customers wanted or could tell just by looking at them, I never figured it out. It changed hands a little while ago, and while they don’t seem to have updated to a spring / summer lunch menu as of writing this, the all-day breakfasts are still appealing. The buttermilk + polenta pancakes with blueberries and maple syrup (pictured) were the right mix of soft and crispy and came in at $9.50.
