Food and coffee were great, and the atmosphere was nice too. Not sure if they were short-staffed when we visited, but although the staff were friendly, they seemed quite inattentive. Our order wasn’t taken for about 20 minutes until we called someone over. They mentioned they’d replace a saucer because coffee had spilled in it, but never came back. It also took roughly an hour for the food to arrive. Overall, it’s a lovely spot — I’d still recommend giving it a try, as this might have just been an off day.

Stopped by for takeaway coffees and was impressed - great coffee. Food menu was impressive, a friend had the Thai scrambled eggs and wanted to lick the plate clean. Nice casual decor and vibe in this beachside setting. Service was friendly during the very busy period I visited.

Williams St is a relaxed and welcoming beachside café just north of central Lennox Head. It’s a lovely spot for a casual lunch with a great local vibe. Coffee: The flat white was excellent — strong, full-bodied, and topped with impressive latte art. Definitely one of the better coffees in the area. Food: The menu offers classic Australian café fare made with quality ingredients. Prices are on the higher side but fairly typical for Lennox Head, and the portions and presentation were spot on. Staff: Everyone was friendly and welcoming, which added to the easygoing coastal feel of the visit. Decor & Atmosphere: The café has a relaxed beachside style, with lovely outdoor covered seating. Even though the ocean view is mostly obscured by trees, it still feels open and breezy. Kid friendly: The kids’ menu was impressively large, with plenty of options to keep families happy — a real highlight. Location: Just a short drive north of the main Lennox Head strip, it’s a convenient spot with a quieter, more local feel. A great choice for brunch or lunch — I’d happily return next time I’m in the area.

Probably the best breaky I’ve had - the Thai scrambled egg. So tasty. The kids menu was also high quality and the dairy free smoothies yummy and not sweet. Perfect!

I booked a work dinner at William Street cafe (20 people). The food was outstanding - the group particularly enjoyed the share plates which were really good value. Many dishes were sampled off the menu including the beef brisket, salt & pepper squid, and char grilled greens. A really relaxed atmosphere with friendly, happy staff. Thanks!

Another of our Lennox Heads regular haunts. Really good vegetarian options and great coffee. Staff are always very friendly and make you feel welcome not matter how busy. Popcorn Cauliflower is just incredible!

Dropped in on a Monday morning for a brunch. Casual dining, greeted quickly by the friendly staff and orders taken. Excellent Bacon and Egg Roll whilst my friend had the healthy Acia bowl and commented it was delicious. Will return tomorrow to try something different.
