What people say
Great vegan options (TLT and pesto mushrooms). I had the TLT (tofu, lettuce and tomato sandwich) and it was super tasty!! My partner had the smoked salmon bagel. Alternative milks also available for $1 extra. Nice outdoor seating, really peaceful on a Wednesday morning. Will definitely be returning 💙
Very Supreme pancakes, very yummy, highly recommend for anyone that is here for Bello in the morning for breakfast. Thanks Team! We will be back! ❤️🤩
A busy spot for breakfast, a bit of a wait to eat in at the time. Second fave after the butter factory in Bellingen for us.
I cannot recommend this place if you have day-to-day plans and are stopping for a quick breakfast or brunch. It took over an hour for our food to arrive, even though there were only 3–4 tables. We were not informed in advance that it would take this long. To make matters worse, the food was disappointing as well. My wife and I finished our coffees long before the food arrived, even though we were extremely hungry. A couple of other customers even chose to take their food away without dining in just to save time. Overall, it was a complete waste of time and a very poor experience — easily the worst place in Bellingen in terms of service and food.
Had a lovely breakfast with myself and my wife. Ordered the eggs Benny and banana bread with the cappuccino and frappe as a drink. Personally not a fan of bottero coffee however the almond cap was nicely done and the food was nice. Price was a bit on the higher side but given that it was a Sunday morning it’s all good, overall great experience in Bellingen.
