Why it's worth checking out
Old Maids sits on Tweed Street in Brunswick Heads, the charming riverside-and-beach village just north of Byron Bay. A much-loved cafe, it's become a genuine local favourite — combining quality food and good coffee with a relaxed, characterful setting that captures the easygoing, food-loving mood of the Northern Rivers.
The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare, good coffee and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere in the lovely village of Brunswick Heads, ideal for a leisurely brunch, a morning coffee or a casual catch-up while exploring the coast. With Brunswick Heads' laid-back charm, a quality cafe is a natural favourite, and Old Maids has clearly won over both locals and visitors.
With a 4.6 rating from nearly 500 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. Menus, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular village cafe gets busy on weekend mornings and over holidays, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a great brunch and a quality coffee, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well loved in Brunswick Heads.
