Why it's worth checking out
Old Quarter Coffee Merchants sits on Endeavour Close in Ballina, the riverside town just south of Byron Bay in the Northern Rivers. A specialty coffee roaster and cafe, it's earned a near-flawless reputation for its serious approach to coffee — the kind of dedicated, craft-focused spot that roasts its own beans and draws a devoted following among those who take their cup seriously.
The appeal is that focus on genuinely good, freshly roasted specialty coffee in a relaxed setting, perfect for a proper cup while exploring Ballina and the surrounding region. In an area increasingly known for its food and coffee, a roaster earning a near-perfect rating really stands out.
A 4.9 rating from more than 300 reviews is an excellent result and a strong endorsement. Menus, opening hours and offerings change, and a popular cafe gets busy at peak times, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a great coffee, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well rated by Ballina's coffee lovers.
