Elements Café
Byron Bay
Opening only a
month or so ago, Elements Café, in Byron’s Industrial Estate, has hit the
ground running. ‘Be The Hero Of Your Temple’ is their slogan, and it shows in
their range of superfoods, organic and fresh, sourced from the local region and
prepared with care by chef and owner Rafael Camargo.
As Camargo writes
on the café’s Facebook page, “Our unique… menu gives your
entire being just what it needs. We have a passion for creating great tasting
food that is vibrant, wholesome and nourishing. We are strong believers in the
power of conscious food to help us live life fully and to heal many of the
diseases created by poor food choices.”
Tucked away inside
the Extreme Mixed Martial Arts gym on Centennial Circuit, Elements stemmed from
Camargo’s market stall, which became so popular, the next step was obvious.
“We’re [now] able to bring more to the health industry, I can add more and
manage more, rather than just being a single [stall] at the market,” he
explains.
Setting up shop in
the Industrial Estate was a targeted move, given the myriad businesses based
out there, and the limited access to healthy food. “We wanted to support the
community around here,” Camargo concurs. “It’s a business area, everyone is so
busy, that they can’t really take the time to see what they put inside their
body. So we’re trying to offer not fast food, but slow food, giving them the
opportunity to come here, so we can look after them.”
The menu boasts
such items as Savage Green Lasagna, with roasted zucchini and eggplant layered
with green Napoli sauce and fresh mozzarella; the Sun Dancer, featuring Amazonia
raw multi and maqui berry, blended with organic almond milk, mango, banana and
blue berries, topped with activated gluten-free granola and fresh seasonal
fruits; and hemp protein sticks, made with organic cacao butter, organic raw
cacao, organic hemp protein, organic hemp seeds, organic coconut nectar and
fine Celtic salt.
“I’m from South America, Brazil, so I have that
influence, which is what is making it a bit unique, I think,” Camargo says on
Elements’ point of difference in a Shire rife with organic food cafes. “We’re
putting our [own] touch into the little café.” With plans to bring in local
live music as well, Elements is a feast for all the senses.
