Mary Ryan's Bookshop & Cafe Byron Bay

We love this. Situated just far enough back from the hustle and bustle of Byron it's

Mary Ryan's have moved to a great new corner store with a barista out the front just down from where they've always been in Byron.
The same brilliant amount of books are stocked and there's a great reading room area for young readers.
If you can find a gift for someone in here (or yourself!) you aren't looking hard enough!

I've ways liked the idea of combining books and coffee and find Mary Ryan's does it really well. Always good for a browse through the ABC store or to sit and linger a bit over purchases.

Just down the street from a better eatery, we decided to check this shop out. Shame the staff who served us couldnt give us a smile, the food order was messed up, and coffees came out much later than the wrap (full of lettuce) and fruit salad (which was pitiful). The table was sticky, as though hadnt been wiped for a few days.

Coffee, Cakes, Music, Books a great eclectic.
This is not your hectic sidewalk cafe. Peaceful, Open Plan, comfortable. Offering a tasty range of food. We thoroughly enjoyed an excellent coffee, good service, along with a good read. Very satisfying start to the day.
