What a find! Great spot near the Blue & Green Pools of Angourie and right across the street from a pathway down to the Spooky Beach. House made breads and all meals are celiac friendly!! Incredible coffee. The bacon & egg rolls with house made relish were just what we needed before a long drive.

My partner and I both had the waffles, the berry and the caramel banana. They were presented gorgeously and tasted great! I really enjoyed being able to share what my partner had, since being gluten intolerant I haven’t been able to experience sharing plates with other people since no one else eats gluten free. Thank you, we will be back!

Delicious sliders, delicious Ceviche, good beers and cocktails, all served with excellent service. In a beautiful quiet location. If you’re staying in Yamba or don’t mind the drive I highly recommend going in for a feed. Looking forward to steak night already.

Divine food, fast service, friendly staff. The kids’ fruit bowl was also a generous size with plenty of different fruits. We also tried the miso salmon bowl and beef cheek and both were really soft and fresh.

Dropped in here for a coffee and a bowl of chips Coffee was excellent and local. The hot chips were truffle infused with finely grated parmigiana sprinkled over the top. Very good.

We had an amazing birthday lunch at Aqua. The san choi bao, seafood chowder, poached fish and porterhouse were all delicious. Service was excellent - attentive yet relaxed and Chris was a fantastic host. Great location - so special to hop across the road for a swim after lunch.

Absolutely great food and service! Breakfast was excellent, especially the bacon and bread (gluten free bread but it was spot on), lunch was also delicious, and the staff were friendly and attentive. So glad to have this restaurant in town.

Aqua is a must-visit! The waffles looked like art, the parmesan fries were so moreish, and the iced lattes were perfection. As someone who is medically required gluten free, it was incredible to relax knowing the whole menu is coeliac friendly. Friendly staff and stunning food make this a spot I will return to again and again
