2. SCRATCH PATISSERIE

A desire to bake traditionally “from scratch” using organic and local produce led owners Greg and Angie to start Scratch Patisserie in 2010.

3. UNCLE TOM’S PIES

Surfers, truckies, tradies, holiday makers, Mullumbimbians and the people of Byron Shire have been flocking to Uncle Tom’s for a pie for generations. Tom McLean started making pies with local produce in the early 1930s, and later selling them from its home at the Gateway to Mullumbimby, and since then it’s been a local favourite. Fresh local produce is the secret to Uncle Tom’s pies, which are made on the premises and sold fresh daily. While the region continues to grow, the spirit of the Byron Shire area and the memories of the millions of customers over the decades continue to live on at Uncle Tom’s.
