COFFEE BEANS & BEINGS / DOWN UDDER COFFEE

Hobart, Tasmania, Australia home to classic Euro-style coffee houses like Jackman & McRoss

If Australia can be seen in the shape of a cow, Tasmania and its central city of Hobart would be the “udder.” Maybe even called Australia’s udder island. 

Hobart, population 232,670 has a nice collection of coffee houses. Here are just three. 

BRIGHT EYES 

Family-owned and run espresso bar and live music venue, known for its coffee and modern décor in a popular part of Hobart’s colorful harborside. 

Stall 21 Brooke Street Pier, Franklin Wharf, Hobart, Tasmania 

PARKLANE ESPRESSO 

Boutique café located in fashionable, historic Salamanca Square is a niche provider of premium coffee for the most ardent coffee connoisseur. 3 Salamanca Square, Battery Point, Hobart, Tasmania. 

JACKMAN & McROSS 

While Sydney has Bourke St Bakery and Melbourne has Brunetti, Hobart has Jackman & McRoss. This much-lauded bakery and cafe is a non-negotiable stop if you find yourself in Hobart. Pair your coffee with one of its many house-baked pastries or cakes, or indulge in a more leisurely brekky or lunch. 57 Hampden Road, Battery Point, Hobart, Tasmania.
