Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The place was packed with a queue for coffee, that is because the coffee is sublime. We bought some to take home. The food was also great and efficiently delivered. The farmers breakfast will keep you going until dinner and includes everything you can imagine and all was top quality. The breakfast burger sounded great but there was dietary question that couldn't be answered as they didn't make the patties so we didn't get to try it. However, the house made zucchini fritters were a hit. Staff were friendly, smiling and worked hard. Nothing not to like here, it was a great start to the day.

The staff were really friendly and welcoming and after completing our COVID sign in were seated. The old bank building has a nice atmosphere with wonderful high ceilings. My husband wasn’t really hungry so opted for toast with jam while I had the fabulous Banana Bread. The large slice had been toasted and served with maple butter, a colourful selection of tasty fruit and topped with candied walnuts. I thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful. The coffee that we ordered was also excellent. Definitely would return when next visiting Lismore.

Thank you for a yummy breakfast, delicious and healthy nourish bowl we will be back! To the amazing waitresses and waiters for your attention to get us a table as the café was full inside and outside on Sunday morning at 10am. Spotlessly clean and Lismore needs all the support we can offer these small businesses.♥️ To the customers please leave your dogs at home if they can’t behave with other dogs around! Also, to all the negative comments here… getting staff to work at Cafes anywhere in Australia is very hard ATM happy and smiling! Overall 10/10

Basically, a lot of effort for not much of a result, kind of like a big party with no guests and different kinds of music playing loudly at the same time...confusion on a plate. We ordered the Byron Bay burger and Cauliflower Karrage...there was so much going on on the plates but not integrated meals, and flavours not balanced. Burger was sparse for salad with one slice of tomato, one leaf of lettuce, and some pickled onion, the patty has one flavour of salty smoke. The cauliflower was saturated in soy sauce and no other flavour. The best thing on the plates were the sauces and the one little sweet potato patty where there was a nice flavour and it was balanced. Won't go back 😊

Lunch ,midweek table for 2 ,no problem. Both of us ordered the salt and pepper squid, both of us absolutely agree that it was fabulous. Big serves, delicious salad and melt in your mouth calamari. Fresh squeeze oj and a stunning coffee ( had to buy the beans). Efficient, engaging service. Great lunch in a fantastic building.

Food and service top notch👌 coffee was delicious and served fast. The buffalo chicken burger was was really good , perfect amount of spice with a yummy slaw to take some of the heat away. The falafel bowl looked and tasted amazing. Would highly recommend this cafe.

The food is delicious and there is a good variety of fresh foods. Keto friendly as you can pick and choose items. We were able to take our family dog there because of the outdoor tables supplied. Nice atmosphere and the staff and owners are friendly! A great place to eat.

Waiting for my car to be serviced I wanted a cafe with shaded outdoor seating where I could enjoy a cuppa and then lunch. This fit the criteria as there are eight outdoor tables with umbrellas in addition to a spacious indoor dining area. The salt and pepper squid was tender, generously proportioned, delicious and came with a healthy slaw. I would have preferred not to have the mayo on top of the calamari, and didn’t expect it. I suspected ect that it was more about presentation than flavour. Will return.

Full when we arrived for a bite before a movie at the Star Court. Friendly helpful greeting and advised to return in 10 minutes for a table, it just started raining so out doors was not an option. Returned to a pleasant lunch and will return.

Great little cafe. Mother’s Day was very busy, the staff were very friendly and pleasant. Ordered eggs Benny, pleased to note it was actually house-made hollandaise sauce. Food, sauce and coffees were exactly what I needed. Thank you.

What a little hole in the wall!!! Staff were super friendly and the drinks service was less than 5 minutes even though the Cafe was full of customers. The mural kept the family entertained whilst waiting for our food and we really can't say anything bad about the place. Will be coming back on our way through again and would highly recommend to fellow travellers and families.

We had breakfast at Bank Cafe, and it was very good, in an interesting setting in the old banking chamber. We had the bacon buttie and the Big breakfast. Both were tasty, well presented, and very generous— I’m a good eater, but was defeated by the Big breakfast! Staff were friendly and efficient. All up, a perfect place to drop in for special breakfast!

Great casual atmosphere indoor and outdoor options. Superb customer service. Food (recommend calamari) and drinks all terrific. Location in centre of town and car parking at rear. I was visiting my cousin and she recommended The Bank Cafe and it turned out to be the perfect spot for us to catch up. I felt good supporting a business which was hit particularly hard by the recent floods. Thanks for a great lunch.
