The Heart of Angourie Beats Again: Welcome to Bay St. Local

Bay St. Local, Angourie NSW

Angourie has always been a place with a strong sense of community, but recent years have brought quieter times. Once home to a much-loved fine dining restaurant and a bustling general store and cafe, the village saw them both relocate to Yamba. The much loved café that followed kept the energy alive, but its recent closure left Angourie without a hub. Enter Bay St. Local, stepping in to reignite the community spirit and bring life back to the heart of the village.

Nestled in the old general store’s iconic location, Bay St. Local is much more than a café. It’s a vibrant meeting place, a provider of high-quality coffee and fresh food, and a new general store rolled into one. Owners Mark and Lauren—already beloved in Yamba for their Gather café—have crafted a space that honours Angourie’s relaxed coastal lifestyle.

The menu reflects this ethos with simple, locally inspired offerings like light breakfasts, fresh salads, takeaway burgers, and sandwiches. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite before hitting the beach or unwinding with a leisurely coffee, Bay St. Local caters to all.

The general store is a nod to Angourie’s past while serving today’s needs. Stocked with everyday essentials—bread, milk, and pantry staples—it also features unique items that visitors and locals alike will appreciate.

More than just a café and store, Bay St. Local embodies connection. It’s a place for locals to chat, surfers to refuel, and visitors to immerse themselves in Angourie’s charm. Mark and Lauren are on a mission to make Bay St. Local more than a business—it’s a space for everyone to call home.

For a community once defined by its lively venues and strong bonds, Bay St. Local marks a new chapter. Come by, soak in the energy, and celebrate Angourie’s revival—one cup of coffee at a time.
