Found this amazing coffee spot during our short stay in Coffs Harbour. We were a little dubious of the high reviews but the coffee and vibes are definitely worth it! From the moment we walked in we felt like we were at a mates place! We enjoyed a super silky, smooth and strong coffee, and tried the owners experimental brew - looking forward to when that gets released! The owner was extremely knowledgeable and passionate, and was happy to chat with us about the differences in coffees while we were there, as well as give us some local tips for our drive. Highly recommend a stop here for coffee - the laneway is a little tricky to find but the coffee and vibes are 10/10.

Driving from Sydney to Gold Coast we Googled for the best coffee joints in Coffs Harbour. This place came up as 5 stars and we are always wary of fake reviews, but this is rated highly for a reason! It was a bit tricky to find as it was in an alleyway but well worth finding. Ordered a couple of soy lattes and banana bread. The guy (owner?) was happy to chat about coffee as I was quite curious, and he shared his innovative extraction technique with lower temperature than normal and faster extraction. The result was super tasty specialty coffee! We got the banana bread for the kids and I’m glad they weren’t hungry coz I got to eat it and it was also fantastic. The whole cafe has a nice vibe and we had a nice time relaxing out the back with nice decor and atmosphere. Also had a good view through the window of the coffee roaster in the same building which I believe is a separate business.

A cafe between alleys! We had a really great latte and cold brew here. The latte had nice artwork, and the milk had a silky texture all the way through. Recommended if you like coffee with flavors that aren't too sour. The baristas are very friendly There are a few places to sit Street parking is generally available within a 5 minute walk

'Great coffee, good vibes' - and they're right. Smooth and rich coffee, friendly and engaging service, this place lives up to it's name - it feels like a coffee at a mate's place, and a damn good coffee at that. If you're a local - you got to try it. If you're travelling GC/Byron to Sydney & in need of that coffee kick (but want something better than petrol station tar), this place is a few minutes off the highway - you got to try it. Also does a quality chai

We had the most amazing experience at My Mates Place! My wife, our 1-year-old daughter, and I felt completely at home from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The food was absolutely delicious – the chicken toastie and the açaí bowl are an absolute must-try! The coffee was spot-on, perfectly brewed, and beautifully served. What really stood out was how thoughtful the owner was when it came to accommodating food allergies – it’s clear they truly care about their customers. This place is a gem, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food, amazing coffee, and exceptional service!
