Inside the Henry Jones Hotel, there is a little coffee shop that I walked by several mornings. I…read morewas waiting on others to get ready so I decided to walk across the street and explore. After passing by the art gallery and the souvenir store, I decided to get an early pick me up. Went to the counter and ordered and espresso. Service was great: polite and quick... just the way I liked it. I noticed that they sold the Tasmanian plush toys raising funds for the fire relief efforts (a noble cause). They have pastries and all sorts of coffee drinks available. For those who want a full on breakfast, you can grab that in the back. I only had my coffee here this morning and unfortunately the beans were a little too acidic for me. All in all, a great little place next to our hotel (Macq01) so I know where to go if I needed to grab something quick in the morning!

The MONA Cafe is located on the top level of the Museum of Old and New Art. If you are looking for…read morea casual dining option while visiting the MONA, this would be the place to eat. The menu here consists of typical cafe fare along with a nice selection of baked goods (including cake) and coffee. I had just finished touring the MONA, but still had some time before my ferry ride back to Hobart. Thus, I decided to head over to the cafe to grab a bite. Not feeling terribly hungry, I opted for a slice of hummingbird cake ($7). After paying, I took a seat at one of the tables. I waited a good 10 minutes or so and my order wasn't ready yet. The cafe wasn't busy, so I headed up to the counter to check on it. I explained that I was in a rush as I needed to board the ferry soon. I got my slice of cake shortly after. I do wonder why they didn't just give me the cake at the counter since that was only thing I wanted. The hummingbird cake was pretty good. It has coconut shavings on top and the cake was fluffy. Satisfying enough to tie me over till dinner. While you may come here for the food, the views here are an extra bonus. From the cafe windows, there is a nice view of the Derwent River. There is even outside seating on the lawn if you would like to get a closer view. If you feel hungry while visiting the MONA or Moorilla Winery, the MONA Cafe is a decent option should you want something standard like a salad or just looking for coffee and a pastry. Otherwise, wait until you head back to Hobart to have a meal. Or if you really want to splurge, try The Source instead.

Well... a coffee, cake and candles place. You can buy yourself some beautiful home decor and fashion and a pair of golden cuban heel boots that I need in my life but can't possibly afford. Sorry, where was I? Abundance is one of those beautiful whitewashed places where you feel a bit like you're at the beach, not Bellerive. Though I guess Bellerive does have a beach... still, it's not the kind of place you'd go for a beach holiday, whereas Abundance does have that beach holiday vibe. (I shouldn't write reviews at midnight.) My friend and I stopped by the other afternoon for some delicious iced beverages on a warm day, and we brought the average age of the customers down a good few years, so there's that.

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!

I started to draft a review on my phone the other day about Island Espresso while I was having…read morebreakfast there, but the free in-house wi-fi had such a bad signal, I guess my "save draft" didn't work. Apart from that disappointment, my morning at Island Espresso was okay, I guess. The coffee was very good. The potato rosti side was regrettable. The chilli and coriander scrambled eggs were kind of disappointing in the chilli and coriander areas, which you'd think would be two pretty big areas. I always wonder why places advertise a food as having a particular ingredient but then they go easy on it. Surely people who can't deal with chilli and/or coriander would stay far, far away from something called "chilli and coriander eggs", right? So you really do have license to just go crazy with both. Never mind. Sorry, Island Espresso. You kinda let me down. You're so cute! But you disappointed me. I'll be okay to stop in for a takeaway coffee, though (except I do think Basket & Green up the road do a slightly better one of those, even). Sorry again. I tried.

They menu sports lots of interesting sounding items and perhaps we made a poor choice. Our chocolate milkshake wasn't quite what we were expecting and we were a bit underwhelmed.

So had we chosen something different, perhaps I could have given a bit higher ranting. Note: order andd pay at the counter, get a number then they bring the food to your table
