Laneway Cafe was brought to my attention back during my work for the Ten Days on the Island festival in March. Each of the ten "festival towns" had a "supper club", a festival takeover of a local venue, and in Devonport the supper club was at Laneway Cafe.
Laneway is in a laneway (legit name, tick) off Steele St in the centre of town, just down from an adorably-curated vintage store called Mr Wolf. I'm still full from breakfast in Burnie (it's only half an hour down the road) so I perch at the window bench and have a coffee and a delicious fresh juice.
Laneway is brimming with patrons of all ages, enjoying a Saturday lunch out with friends and family. So nice. The space itself is gorgeous, and as well as a cafe this place also markets itself as a delicatessen, and I make eyes at the cheese fridge before reminding myself there's still around four hours of driving ahead of me.
Definitely heading back here again next time I'm up north. I need to give that food menu a good run for its money! read more
