Federal Doma Cafe

Since opening in September 2012, Federal Doma Cafe has become a magnet for locals, day-trippers, and people travelling through the hinterland en route to Nimbin or Lismore. Doma consistently serves up some of the best Japanese fare in the region: everything from the heartiness of the miso soup through to the high quality produce is just delicious. There are also home-made burgers (meat and vegetarian), hot chips, and a daily specials board to choose from. Aside from a small traditional Japanese doma (dirt floor) room, seating is mostly outside.
