Infusion is a cute little café in the Arcade Plaza that stands out for two good things: their flavoured coffees (made using infused coffee beans, or, if you prefer it, adding flavoured syrups to your normal coffee), and for their terrific friendly speedy service.
The place is mostly for take-away, although has a benched table with a few stools to seat if you want. The place is very cozy, and has a divine yummy-smelling display of rustic bags showcasing their different varieties of exotic and flavoured coffee beans, plus a good selection of Byron Bay Cookies, syrups, cold-beverages and teas.
Their flavoured coffees are terrific in both aroma and flavour, and my rating would be certainly higher if the café served just these. Their standard coffees, however, aren't as good, as they are a bit watery and lack in creaminess. However, I don't mind these qualities with flavoured coffees, as I consider them a coffee-derived product not a proper coffee, and I expect different things from both beverages.
The service is t-e-r-r-i-f-i-c at Infusion. Some baristas in the city should visit Infusions to learn how to treat customers. The thing is that they do so genuinely, which is an extra bonus. What a treat entering a café and finding people smiling at you, treating you with courtesy, respect and friendliness.
They sell the exhibited beans by the weight, ground or not, as well as the syrups and other coffee paraphernalia, which made them perfect for high tea parties at home.
