The Gallery Cafe

The Gallery Café Ballina is a charming café set within a beautifully restored heritage-listed building in the heart of Ballina. Housed in the former Ballina Council Chambers, dating back to the 1920s, the café shares its unique location with the Northern Rivers Community Gallery, creating a welcoming space where food, history and art come together.

Serving breakfast, brunch and lunch, the café focuses on fresh, seasonal produce and locally sourced ingredients, offering a menu that celebrates quality flavours and creative dishes. Guests can relax in the character-filled indoor dining rooms or enjoy alfresco dining on the leafy verandah overlooking peaceful gardens framed by towering Norfolk Pines.

The Gallery Café is pet-friendly.

Whether you’re exploring local exhibitions, meeting friends for coffee, enjoying a leisurely meal with your four-legged companion or simply seeking a quiet place to unwind, The Gallery Café Ballina provides a memorable dining experience in a unique heritage setting.
