Where to Eat in Yamba
Start your day by visiting Gather for your morning coffee fix and a light meal. Owned by locals and nestled on Yamba Hill, it’s a favourite for those in the know.
For those with a true nose for the bean, head to Botero Coffee Roasters for a serious caffeine adventure with a side of altruism. The cafe (which boasts a stellar menu) and roastery ensure a portion of their profits go back to developing countries.
Be sure to check out the institution that is Yum Yum Cafe and General Store. This cosy converted cottage serves up wholesome breakfasts, lunches, and baked goods using local produce – so you know you’re getting the freshest there is.
Fancy something from the sea? You can get your seafood straight from the fishermen themselves at the Clarence River Fisherman’s Co-Operative. Buy something fresh to cook on your own or treat yourself to a favourite like fish and chips or a prawn roll.
For a different kind of seafood experience, head to Sandbar – Yamba's premier destination for seaside dining. Located right on the beachfront, Sandbar has you covered from morning to night, coffee to canapes.
And lastly for those of us who love to check out the craft beer scene, Wobbly Chook Brewing, located right in the heart of Yamba and operated by a local family of six, offers a delightful experience for craft beer enthusiasts. Alternatively, a little further out, Sanctus Brewing Co provides an opportunity to sample an array of different ales, lagers, XPAs, IPAs, and much more.
