Timbo Mullum
Inside Timbo Mullum
Timbo Mullum is a relaxed café tucked away in Mullumbimby that has become a reliable spot for locals and visitors seeking robust coffee and a lunchtime escape with a twist. The atmosphere here leans into an easygoing, almost tucked-away vibe, making it a pleasant stop for those who appreciate good quality in a quiet setting rather than hustle and bustle.
Coffee lovers will find a particular draw to the carefully brewed offerings, with locals often stopping by for a well-made long black or a double shot latte. The quality of the coffee is frequently noted, holding its own against the best brews in town. It’s the kind of place where you might find yourself lingering over a cup while catching up with friends or getting a small work session done.
The menu at Timbo Mullum adds an intriguing layer, standing out through its infusion of diverse flavors. Lunch options like the crispy pork belly lunch bun — layered with cucumber, mint, pickled carrots, and their housemade hoisin and Kewpie mayo — offer a comforting yet vibrant bite. For those leaning towards lighter or plant-based choices, the housemade tempeh lunch bun with vegan aioli provides a satisfying alternative. Seafood doesn’t disappoint either, with dishes like the seafood and miso udon bowl offering fresh calamari, baby octopus tentacles, and prawns in a rich miso broth that hits just the right savory note.
Empty seats are often found on weekday mornings or just past the midday rush, making those quieter times ideal for visitors who want to enjoy the calm atmosphere or have a bite without lingering crowds. On weekends or busier days, the café hums with the friendly buzz of regulars and newcomers drawn in by the quality and the varied menu.
One thing that stands out beyond the food and drinks is the friendliness visible in the staff and ownership — local patrons appreciate the welcoming, relaxed environment that encourages casual lingering or quick coffee fixes. While slightly off the beaten path, this tends to add to its charm, allowing for a genuine Mullumbimby experience away from more commercial spots.
