There is such a variety of food from wraps to home cooked Asian style meals to salads and frittatas. The coffee is superb and all the food is extremely reasonably priced. Open great hours if you’re looking for an early breakfast they open at 5! Thumbs up from me.

Tim , Nui, Jericho and all the staff are absolutely wonderful. Always a welcoming smile with a cheerful good morning. A happy atmosphere greets you as you enter. The Extrodanairy Food is top notch, with something yummy for everyone GF, V, DF etc , well worth the trip to SCU for Breakfast, Lunch or just a snack. The kitchen and dining area are always clean and tidy , Nui and Tim run a tight ship and are always hands on making sure the Quick Brown Fox remains a top place to eat, have a cuppa or smoothie and relax .

Tim and Nui have really good food and fast service - I love the breakfast wraps which are different to other cafes and nicer. And the quiche, frittata and juices, plus lots of full meals such as Thai curries. The inside is lovely and air conditioned and outside in the plaza, lunch under the huge umbrellas is great. Really chilled ambience. We make a special trip here every week - we don’t even work or study at the Uni!

Bloody excellent service, above and freaking beyond. Tim is a legend barista, best coffee man ever. Nui remembers your name after a few visits & is mad thai chef. Don't miss this wicked cafe in Lismore when you're on campus. Try the Asian fusion specials, any quiche & breaky bagel! Great smoothies, fresh juices & old fashioned country service with a smile! Cheers legends!
