Coffee lovers, take note! There is a new place to grab a coffee and breakfast in Lismore.

The Little Love Bros Coffee Nook opened two weeks ago on Cathcart Street, serving Cloud Nine Blend coffee and brekky burritos.

The name may be recognisable to some, as it is connected to the popular Taco Love Bros on Conway Street.

Owner Dylan Morris had a single garage that he was using for storage "and filling with shit", but he wanted to utilise the space for his popular Mexican-inspired restaurant. "I wanted something a little more funky," Dylan said.

So Dylan got on the tools with a friend, "This was as a collaboration effort between my mate, who knows what he's doing, and having rebuilt a few shops, I have a few skills to chip in as well."

The result is a rustic look using a lot of recycled timbers.

"We've got a bunch of recycled timbers that we salvaged from all different places, such as the closing down of the casino shop, some big scrub timber like this hoop pine here, some salvaged rainforest hoop pine, silky oak. Those shelves at the back there, salvaged silky oak, and these are just some recycled fence palings. But our style is definitely that of reclaimed timber, upcycled and then add some funky steel in there as well."

Now that Little Love Bros Coffee Nook, Dylan wants to take advantage of his ideal location.

"We've got such a prominent location here on the corner (Conway and Cathcart streets), sort of in between the CBD and East Lismore. It's a good little hub to stop off if you don't want to go fully into town," he explained.

"We're super passionate about teaming up with these guys, Old Quarter Coffee Merchants. They're a company based down in Ballina, and the ethos around their business is something that we wanted to align with.

"They go over to Southeast Asia, make the connection with the farmer, and they'll pay above-board prices to support that farmer. They bring the beans back, roast them in Ballina, and then distribute it from there. So there's no middleman.

The Old Quarter coffee is a Cloud Nine Blend. That is coffee from Southern Vietnam, Central Myanmar and the eastern Ghats of India.

The coffee is grown in high-altitude mountains that, when combined, 'add unique aspects to create a flavour profile that will elevate your day'. Little Love Bros Coffee Nook does a cold brew too.

"We're pairing it with our breakfast burritos," Dylan added, "Which we're also super passionate about. We're getting famous for our brekky burrito. It's all that you really need in a meal in the morning to keep you going. The fuel for your day, really. "

Little Love Bros Coffee Nook is open from 6am, so it is looking at the early morning shift workers and tradies in the area.

"We want to build it up to cater for people who finish at the gym too, the early morning workout people and people who want substantial food in the morning, not so much like toasties and things like that, but protein-based food, as in beef, beans, eggs. Something that's really going to pack some punch, as opposed to spending money on white bread and that sort of stuff.

"We've got nice little goodies too. We bake muffins, all the little sweets, the cookies, all that sort of stuff.

"We've got a lovely couple of baristas. Haley is a Lismore local who has been here for a long time. And we've got an Italian lady named Sylvia. The girls will be rotating around.

The Little Love Bros Coffee Nook is open from 6am to 1pm Monday to Friday on the corner of Cathcart and Conway Street, Lismore.

It's been a long way back for Dylan Morris from the 2022 Floods. However, through grants and some hard work, Dylan has created a new coffee place that's worth checking out.
