We thoroughly enjoyed our mean at Sandbar the day after Valentines day. The seafood was exceptional and the cost was very reasonable.

Went here recently based on the TripAdvisor reviews.
Both the garlic bread and pizzas ordered were really tasty and fresh. Prices were reasonable for the area and the service was friendly.

A lovely find in the centre of Yamba. Quality of the food was exceptional. Really delicious fish and chips. Servings are very generous. The seafood basket is enough for two lighter eaters. Seating is outside so watch the elements and the mosquitoes.... Take insect repellent.

Reviewed By MSIMaker - Bowral, Australia
We love this place for quick and easy dinner or a takeaway depending on the night. We normally eat here at least 3 times during our yearly stay in Yamba.
The food is wonderfully clean and authentic.....not that mix of chinese/thai...original thai.
My partner calls this her 4th kitchen. We will be back of course because the food and service is excellent and very reliable.

I cannot find a website for this cafe but their number is +61 2 66 46 23 22
Reviewed By Peter K - Sydney, Australia
Initially stopped here for lunch due to its location and parking nearby. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and coffee.
For some reason there was difficulty in obtaining a cafe with a kitchen open on a Wednesday morning so back for breakfast and a similar experience with the staff and food. It is also pretty popular with the locals.
7. BeachWood Cafe/restaurant

One of Yambas BEST cafes - mix of Australian/Turkish/Dutch. Incredible!
Reviewed By FuudTrip
Yamba, what a lucky town you are to claim this as a local haunt!
Fabulous, fresh, perfectly seasoned Turkish fare served with genuine hospitality , a place we could easily have sat and wasted an entire afternoon at.
We dined on the spicy octopus dish, served with lashings of tasty sauce, Turkish bread to mop it all up with and perfectly tender octopus. Secondly we had the Turkish lamb, slow cooked to perfection with a fresh tasty tomato salad and fresh mint, and one of the nicest hummus accompaniments I've ever tried. We also added a serve of the lentil koftas, not because we were hungry but because we just wanted to try more of their great food!
A couple of glasses of dry rose topped off an exceptional dining experience. Thank you from our happy tummies!!
8. Leche Cafe

Casual, fun cafe food for everyone!
Reviewed By HeatherSW
Had a divine breakfast with friends at Leche the conveniently located cafe right in the heart of the village at Yamba.
Lovely, friendly, helpful waitress (who might have been the owner- not sure), a great spot to sit out the front in the shade - though inside or out the back in the courtyard looked great too, more than decent coffee and a great twist on the classic smashed avocado on toast, with lots of lemon, sprouts and dukkah (generous half serve only $9). Loved it all.

Reviewed By DonegalEm
It was pouring rain and chilly on our visit to Yamba and we were keen to escape the weather and have something to eat. The Bean Scene was the place. We enjoyed our coffees and our toasted melts of chicken and cheese and bacon, banana and cheese. It was just what we felt like and the service was friendly and smiling.

Irons & Craig continually reinvent themselves. They change their menu to suit the seasons and it is always fresh and sourced from local suppliers. They make the most amazing sour dough donuts each morning and with about 8 different varieties to chose from you can go everyday and try a different flavour. Open from 5.30am for coffee and donuts and breakfast 7.00am - 11.30am. You must visit this cafe to experience the lovely hospitality and genuine commitment to serving fresh and delicious food. The coffee is the best in Yamba. The backyard can host outdoor functions such as weddings, parties, anything...
