Hobart's Cutest Cafes


Massive in reputation but often tiny in size, these cafes can take some commitment if you want to get a table. But it is worth battling the hissing locals (just kidding, they're lovely) to snag a seat for great food or a jump-starting coffee.

1
 
Chrome Coffee Lounge
Hobart
After a really hard day, when you're not sure whether to sigh or cry, there is very little that soothes like sitting in the pastel-green space of Chrome and sipping on an incredibly rich hot chocolate. There are healthier options, but whatever. It's worth the kilojoules.

The Lansdowne Cafe
Hobart
Another haven for organic food-fiends, this cafe serves loads of conscience-friendly food and apparently everything is made on-site from scratch. The brekkies are of particular note, going way beyond just muesli or eggs.

Machine Laundry Cafe
Hobart
No matter which way you look at, doing laundry sucks. The temptation to just buy more underpants and let the rest fester a bit longer is strong. But this cafe at least lets you relax, sip coffee and munch on some top-class nibbles while your clothes spin.

Jackman & McRoss Bakery
Battery Point
You can t blame Battery Pointers for being just a little smug over this local gem. Not only can they get their fill of breads and pastries here (organic of course, dahling), but there's also a range of gourmet quiches and tarts.
