The HappyFrog

A health-focused cafe and grocer on Park Avenue in central Coffs Harbour, this is the town's long-running home for predominantly plant-based eating. The menu runs to colourful salads, all-day breakfasts, veggie burgers, falafel wraps and house-made pies, with vegan, raw and gluten-free options threaded throughout and locally sourced groceries stacked along the walls. It draws a mixed daytime crowd, office lunches, post-beach breakfasts, regulars stocking up on wholefoods, and keeps unhurried weekday hours. Coffs is not a town with a deep plant-based bench, which is part of the appeal: this is where the dietary-conscious and the merely curious both end up, fed generously and without fuss.
