We were staying just above the wharf and spent about 20 minutes walking over. They had a great array of crusty, sweet and savory pastries, pies, and breakfast items. Perhaps the most impressive thing was the fact that their list of specials took up an entire chalkboard. Everything from sweet rolls too, wallaby and rabbit, pie, to some delicious eggs Benedict and a big English breakfast. They had something for everybody, and everything was really good! The place is housed in a relatively old building with a lot of character! Not so old that you're worried that you would find petrified things in the wall, but old enough that you definitely know the place has had a chance to fall over and won't. The staff was really nice, took great care of us and found us seats very quickly, despite the place being busy. All in all, this is a must check out spot whenever you are in town!

We also picked up a package of spiced ginger cookies that were out of this world. A nice bit of coarse salt on each. Service was great and there was a huge line that went quickly. Price for two sandwiches and 5 large cookies a little over 30$ AUDs. A bargain. Highly recommend.

The range and quality of food on offer here is incredible. Up one end is a well-stocked deli, with cold meats, pre-made sandwiches and a range of pre-prepared dinners (from 'cook and eat' to simple 'heat and eat'). The fruit section is small but filled with the most delicious local produce; the strawberries in January are particularly recommended. The general groceries section is small but contains all the basics. Of special interest is a fantastic cake section, selling whole cakes, slices thereof, tarts and other delicious treats - all handmade and fresh. The prices are higher than a standard grocery store, as you'd expect, but the quality is more than worth it, and for those living in Lower Sandy Bay or beyond, it's nice to have a convenient one-stop shop for quality eating.

It's cute inside, has a little quaint kitschy vibe. There are a few inside seats, but be forewarned they are VERY close together! Navigating with a pram proves quite difficult. They have a small amount of savoury food- toasties, Party pies, that sort of thing and a case filled with sweets. Coffee was above average, nicely strong without a lot of bitterness. The toddler ate the marshmallow, then rubbed babycino froth through his hair. I'm assuming that means he likes it! It's not quite the best coffee and nibbles around, but you could certainly do far worse!

Staff were also kind and helpful explaining the treats. All were amazing, I particularly liked the cheesecake though. The coffee was also quite good--I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you are in town! Unfortunately their inside sit down area was closed an hour before their online posted time. They had signs up in-person that said 2 while the online said 3. Not a huge deal as they still have outdoor seating and a takeout (takeaway) shop!

My flat white was delicious and accompanied that ridiculously amazing banoffee tart quite nicely indeed as I perched in my window seat.

One of my fondest childhood memories when coming to Australia was their meat pies. I remember that…read morecrispy buttery crust and delicious gravy with meat in the middle. My dad used to make it a thing for us in the morning to always have one to get our day started. Coming to Australia, having delicious food and then enjoying the bush was just the perfect combo. These are the emotions that flow through me as I eat or even think about meat pies. Just thought you should know as you read through this review. We came to Hobart with my family; our first time to Australia together in over 15 years. It was glorious. Naturally, we wanted to relive our nostalgia of those baked goods that we have such an attachment too. We had to find a place to grab a quick bite to eat and luckily Banjo's was just around the corner from us. We had just walked through the Salamanca market on a Saturday morning and walked over. They were busy as expected! Banjo's reminds me a lot of Panera bread here in the U.S. right down to their logo but don't be mistaken, their menu is very different. Banjo's is a bakery of sorts. Yah, it's a bakery. Pies, breads, sweets whatever you're looking for in those departments they probably have it. We were there for a quick eat so we got ourselves a couple of meat pies and dashed. Oh, I should be honest, I did get a fresh fruit tart as well and it was a deliciously refreshing way to finish my lunch on a hot day! The pies, oh man, the pies. Still at this moment almost 2 weeks after eating them I can still relive the memory over and over. The crust was perfection. Perfectly crispy but not dry. The pastry was strong to hold in the gravy but not too thick to overwhelm the balance of flavors. The gravy. Oh, the gravy was delicious. We got the regular beef and the pepper steak. Both are my favorites and I always make it a point to get both where they are both offered. Remember, these are small handheld pies. Apparently the Aussies eat them with tomato sauce but I stick to the au naturel. Quick and easy that is what we were looking for and that is what we got. The pies were fantastic and everything met our expectations. Despite the long lines, they were quick. Card and cash accepted.

Communal tables mixing it with other stalls at the Brooke Street Pier. Coffee was tasty and interesting. Three different roasts available, the barista recommended an Ethiopian that was up to spec. Service was friendly and helpful. Update: second visit, I asked to try a new roast and the barista offered to make me a sample first to see if it was up to spec. Full size shot and a chance to talk about it after. Great service and passion for the craft!

I love you, darlings…read more I was temporarily working out of Brooke St Pier at the start of the year and it was such a blessing knowing that the reward of very good coffee was waiting for me at the end of my morning walk. I am so fond of the "perfect" size cup, and the small selection of baked items is amazingly tasty (if you're around early enough--they don't get replenished; once they're gone, they're gone!). I've had a few people ask me if the Bright Eyes coffee is any good, which is a ridiculous question if you know it's the younger sibling of Pilgrim Coffee. It's WONDERFUL. You can also use your Pilgrim loyalty stamp card at Bright Eyes (and vice versa) and Bright Eyes is open pretty much every day consistently, including public holidays (yet another blessing over the holiday season). I'm actually a little bit sad that work doesn't have me down Brooke Street's way more often, as I miss my regular Bright Eyes dates. No EFTPOS limit, short wait, papers to read while you do. Do not hesitate getting your own caffeine fix here.
