Last year Sevenmonks won the local paper's reader vote for best cafe in town. After having just written a blog based on my own opinion of the top 10 cafes in Launceston (BEFORE the newspaper, Examiner's article), I thought I better go check these guys out.
The first thing that stood out to me is that it is more of a retail space than cafe (double business under one roof), with a nice array of home decor, gift ideas, clothing, art and jewellery for purchase. The coffee was good BUT not the best in town sorry to say (hubby votes the same).
I have only eaten the snack food and sweets which are nice but pretty standard fare to most cafe's food in town. I cannot write about the main meals from personal experience, however I have a work colleague that tells me the burgers are great. My four stars are really a vote towards them as a shop, great range and set up, especially in the location which is a suburban area of town and needed a bit of urban culture breathed into it. read more
