This feels a little premature. Five star reviews should really only be doled out after more than…read moreone visit, IMO. But I'm gonna do it anyway because this place is too delightful. Firstly, let's set the scene. Heavens Above is a tearoom in an old/ex church space, with a little graveyard out the front, to boot. Classic. There's a breakfast menu and a lunch menu, but if you arrive just on the cusp of lunch the kitchen will probably still be kind enough to fry you up some crispy bacon and mushrooms, aka the perfect simple breakfast menu item. Definitely don't go past the drinks menu either--I couldn't quite fit in the namesake hot chocolate on my first visit but I've thought about it at least twice a week since my visit and I'll be returning soon to hit dat. Top it all off at Heavens Above with wonderfully sweet service and you've got five stars from me. I can't help myself. Send me back to Heaven.

Maybe it wasn't a good day. Signature Hot Chocolate seemed like ordinary hot chocolate. Pie with…read morea bit of salad seemed costly at $15. Sat at wonky table.

If you are in the Kingston area and love coffee this is your place. Their coffee was great and they had a great supply of beans and brewing equipment for all your needs. I highly recommend Maxie.

Despite the exponential spread of coffee shops around the Hobart area, good coffee- REALLY GOOD…read morecoffee in Kingston is pretty rare. Enter Maxie! In a small, unassuming shop right off the main road, a few seats inside and a few seats outdoors. They have a few treats in a case, nothing particularly substantial but yummy none the less- muffins, tarts, that sort of thing. You can grab some specialty coffee roasts from small, boutique batch roasters and some other at home coffee brewing items, plus lots of helpful advice and to get you going. They also do barista and coffee training... and it shows! Now the main thing you're going there for is the coffee. And it doesn't disappoint. Two sizes, usual options. Nice and strong without being bitter and immediately drinkable- it comes out at the perfect temperature. The staff remember you and what you order, and always greet you by name. Easily the beat coffee in Kingston.

We came here for a late breakfast/early lunch. It is somewhat more of a refined cake and dessert…read moretype bakery, and the dessert items did look fabulous in the case. For breakfast however, it wasn't very good for me as there were very limited lower carb/higher protein items. We ordered an almond croissant and a sausage and shiraz roll along with a flat white coffee. We sat outside as they didn't have the AC running and it was really way too warm inside. They have table service inside and servers that run out the food you had ordered at the counter. They were all super friendly and even asked if everything was satisfactory as they cleared our table. Unfortunately, neither of the baked goods were great. The almond croissant had a nicely laminated dough although it needed a tad of salt. The dough was buttery however lacking flavor most likely due to a lack of salt in the butter they used in the dough. The filling was almost like really dense cake batter with basically no almond flavor - the texture seemed almost right, maybe they forgot the almond paste or almond extract. We are used to a much, much stronger flavored almond croissant with almond paste inside. There were nicely toasted almond slices on the top. The sausage roll was a real disappointment. Although it looked really nice it was very heavy, seemed greasy and had two fundamental flaws. The dough was too thick around the sausage so when they wrapped it and baked it there was way too much dough and it was actually nearly raw all along the bottom edges. The sausage was not crumbled or taken out of the casing so when you bit through the roll (or even cut it as we did) the entire sausage slipped right out of the dough and left a big empty hole! It did have nice caramelized onions and some herbs or spinach (didn't eat enough to know exactly!) between the dough and sausage - they might have contributed to the wet/raw sogginess of the dough if they were not cooked enough and then released water into the dough. They were very gracious when I asked if I could get a refund for the sausage roll as I could not find anything else I wanted to get as a replacement. Our server could not have been any more professional and nice about it. He got approval from his manager and gave us the refund. The flat white was very good. If I needed to eat some lovely desserts I'd give them another try given their professional staff and good service.

For the latest in "gentrifying the outer suburbs heading north", there is sure a dearth of bougie…read morecoffee shops in the Glenorchy CBD. There's Coffee Club and Rhyme St... and that's about it for the Businessy area of the CBD. Aiming to address this issue is Agent Cooper. Unassuming, small and decorated in Shabby Chic and the ""modern cafeteria" vibe with black metal, bricks and no decor on the walls. It's noisy even with only a few customers inside, the walls being brick and VERY reflective and echoing the grinding,whirring and 90's throwbacks coming off the speaker (not complaining at all about the music selection, btw)! Service is prompt, and despite it being relatively busy when i stepped in, even with a slightly left of centre order it was done and in my hands in a relatively short amount of time. The coffee itself was good; not great, but I certainly have had more disappointing coffee in my travels around. You could do far, far worse Than Agent Cooper.

Great place to get a heart start before heading off to MONA…read more Simple and minimalist. This is no cosy corner retreat - open and exposed to sun and wind through huge windows and sails. 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.
