Been going to Island Espresso for years. This is the original coffee shop that got me hooked on proper coffee! Magnificent retro cool building with a chill out lounge upstairs, an outdoor seating area out the back - making the most of the space. But then there's the food - wow! This family have owned the business since 1999 and they all work very hard to provide the best quality range of cooked breakfast and lunch meals that you will find anywhere, and very well priced. Then there's the Zimmah coffee (which is owned by the same family). The girls are absolutely specialists in the art of making an excellent coffee, the consistency is outstanding. Definitely worth a 5 min walk up from the city. I am fortunate it is only a couple of minutes walk from my work. I suggest you check out this little gem - you won't be disappointed!

dropped in for a hot chocolate and cake. Didnt disappoint. Service was super quick. Friand and cookie were tasty and fresh. Loads of seating in this cozy little cafe. The staff knew the names of many of their regulars who came by and there was a constant steam of customers coming through the door while we were there. Another customer ordered the smashed avo and poached eggs which were presented nicely and eaten quickly! Would definitely recommend this cafe as staff were super friendly, food was tasty, nice and well priced.

They have a lot of vegetarian options, we tried three of them and they were so yummy

Really cute place for breakfast. Good coffee, excellent scrambled eggs, mushroom and spinach were cooked to perfection. My daughter loved the hash brown chips with relish. Service was quick and friendly, definitely worth a visit.

Such a cozy, hideaway cafe with excellent coffee and well priced food. Always walked past it but first time going inside, it is very spacious with plenty of seating and couches for a relaxing break from the world! The Zimmah roast is excellent and always consistent. Pretty cups!

Fantastic service, great food, and the ability to sit outside, looking down Elizabeth Street, is a view you cannot create anywhere else... We will definitely return! Thanks Team :)

I also think this place serves some of the best coffee you'll find in Hobart town. The space is well laid-out, cosy and interesting (check out the little courtyard at the back). Haven't tried their food but it did look very nice from what I

Friendly staff serving nice food and good coffee. Nice for a little lunch, and the space worked well. The iced coffee went down quite well on a warm Hobart day! The Haloumi burger came with generous slabs of cheese and was pretty tasty too!!

Boutique look cafe that has such friendly staff and nice warm atmosphere with mix of timber seating and lounge. ice-coffee was one of best Iv had in tassie and meals looked good and tasted even better fresh and full of flavour .

Had an interesting meal and coffee. Note it is small inside. Has a nice upstairs, but the staircase is a little cramped if you are oversized.

Great, strong coffee in a warm and cosy atmosphere. Great music and friendly staff. All in a quaint historical building just a short walk from the centre of town. Cannot recommend highly enough. 10 stars!

Awesome little breakfast hub with a beautiful loft. Coffee was great and Avo toast was one of the better examples I have tasted. The chili honey have it a great kick. Will be back for sure.

I had the burger and egg for breakfast very Delicious

Legit coffee, friendly staff and nice selection of food. I initially ordered take away to have in car but I couldn't pass up sitting on the benches outside in the sunshine. More
