About Masa Byron Bay
Masa Byron Bay is a pastry-focused bakery in Byron Bay that locals tend to describe as a bit of a hidden spot. You can dine in or take your order away, and they pour coffee and serve breakfast as well, so it works for a sit-down start to the day or a quick stop on the way somewhere. Parking is easy, with free street parking and a free car park, and the entrance and car park are wheelchair-accessible. Cards and tap-to-pay are all accepted.
The pastry cabinet is the main draw, with a lot of choice. Croissants are the headline: almond, chocolate, plain butter, and more adventurous fillings like pistachio and lime or chocolate hazelnut. We've heard good things about the savoury side too, especially the pork and fennel sausage rolls and the pies, which the bakery is known for. One local raved about a miso mushroom and bacon carbonara pastry and a custard-filled brioche bun, while another was won over by an eggplant croissant that turned out creamy rather than soggy. Danishes and scrolls round things out, and the cream brûlée danish and the tomato, pesto and ricotta one get a mention.
Some people call the croissants flaky, and the coffee gets a nod as well. A few others found some of the pastries on the dense or doughy side, and one felt a plain croissant could have used a warm-up. Prices sit towards the higher end for pastry, though most people seem to feel the quality justifies it, and the staff come across as friendly and happy to answer questions about ingredients.
If you're a croissant person, start there, and if you like savoury, add a sausage roll or pie. Hours run from early morning to early afternoon, so check them before you head in.
