About Kiso's Espresso Bar

Set just off Rajah Road in the relaxed coastal community of Ocean Shores, this café offers a calm, welcoming spot to settle in whether you’re after a morning coffee or a leisurely brunch. Many come here for carefully crafted espresso drinks like cappuccinos and flat whites, paired naturally with simple, satisfying options such as bacon and egg rolls or a variety of teas. The atmosphere is cozy and casual, with outdoor seating and plenty of space for solo diners, remote workers, and groups alike.

As the day moves on, the menu broadens to include flavorful Indian dishes, gently spiced and thoughtfully prepared, from butter chicken to channa masala. The kitchen balances healthy choices with comforting small plates and quick bites, catering well to families with a kids’ menu and high chairs, while the space remains accessible with wheelchair-friendly features throughout. It’s a place where locals enjoy a relaxed meal without any fuss, often returning for the friendly, attentive service that adds a sense of familiarity and warmth to each visit.

Whether you’re stopping by for a coffee break, a casual lunch, or a laid-back dinner, this spot fits a variety of visitors—from nearby residents and families to travelers exploring the Northern Rivers. Free parking and the allowance of dogs make it an easy choice for the neighborhood, reinforcing its feel as a genuine local gathering place rather than just another café on the map.

This cafe has been my go to local spot to eat on weekends for the last four years and I will forever come back because of the amazing service and absolutely delicious food weather it be for breakfast or the exquisite Indian food in the evenings! Guri’s happy vibe is always looking after his customers which makes you feel right at home! Big love to the guys at Kiso’s cafe for their kind and loving atmosphere.

Great coffee and very friendly service. The food was also very respectable and a solid 8 out of 10. It was fast, easy to eat and we were very satisfied with our experience. I had a cappuccino and masala dosa! Good visit!

Yum yum yum. Loved this little gem. Great food. Beautiful kind people. And a butter chicken curry that can cure a hangover. Will be back!

Superb place in Ocean Shores, worth the drive from Byron. It's hard to find anything wrong with this place, and believe me I'm trying. Superb staff, gorgeous management and coffee worth getting out of bed for. No pretense, just quiet quality.

I have to shout out this local cafe where Guri works—honestly, it’s one of the best spots around! From the second I walk in, Guri’s always super friendly and makes you feel right at home. It’s rare to find that kind of customer service, and it really stands out. The food is incredible too. You can tell Guri and the team put a lot of care into everything they serve whether I’m in the mood for eggs benny, a fresh pastry/muffin or a skinny cap! Highly recommend this place if you’re in the area!
