Hello to very good coffee on the eastern shore! I am a very biased city dweller but I am also an…read moreadvocate of very good coffee, so with that in mind I deigned to cross the bridge in search of caffeine. Baxter is hidden up an alley across the road from Beastlands, and provides a small and sweet refuge from such a place. It also has a small selection of sweets in the cabinet AND toasted sammos available for purchase! My cubano filled the hole in my belly quite nicely, and was an extra treat as I wasn't expecting such a thing to be available--we were going to just have a coffee at Baxter and then find somewhere to eat, and the sandwiches solved that problem nicely. There's not a great deal of space to dine in (slash outside on the astroturf) but things weren't busy so it was easy for us to pull up a milk crate or three and finish up our sandwiches before we went on our way. Coming from the right (ahem) side of the river, I won't be going out of my way to visit Baxter in the future, but I'll sure point all of my eastern shore friends toward it and make a point to drop in whenever I am pulled eastward!

They know the regulars by name and can usually remember their usual orders- it's so nice, and I'm a city as small as Hobart I'm surprised more places don't make a conscious effort to do it. The retail section is always full, and they are super helpful with advice and suggestions to get the most from your home beans and gear. Nice selection of small cafe type meals as well- typically bagel sandwiches and muffins and biscuits. Highly recommended in every sense.

I have to say that I am a big fan of this lovely little restaurant. When we went a few years ago…read moreour experience wasn't so good but fortunately we gave it another chance and I can't speak more highly of it. The food, particularly lunch, is absolutely lovely. Terrific quality and consistency. The owners (Mark and Ruth, I think?) are delightful and very welcoming - particularly Mark. My favourites in the lunch menu are the crispy skin duck, scallops, and fish (usually Blue Eye Trevalla) and chips. everything is fresh and served with either seasonal vegetables or really fresh salad. And I mean fresh salad. There is nothing worse than going into a restaurant where the side salad is limp as if it's been sitting around in the fridge waiting for plating. I understand their speciality is breakfast which we haven't tried. But importantly they have great coffee too! Worth a visit.

Nice and homey. I ordered my post gym caffeine fix take away, so I can't comment on the dine in service, but the coffee was very milky and left sort of a slippery coating on the roof of my mouth. The taste isn't bad per se, but it's far too weak and over dilute for my taste. A extra shot would certainly help.

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.
