"Lovely cafe with excellent food and friendly service. The coffee was great too. I ordered the summer veg on toast with eggs and it was absolutely delicious! The fried crispy salty capers on there were so so good. I will remember that dish for a long time it was that good."

"Loved everything about this cafe. If this was in Sydney, I’d be there all the time! The food, treats, drinks all incredible. Yes food takes a little longer to go out, but we weren’t in a rush , plus it’s a lovely cafe space to relax in."

The Best Bakeries in Hobart
This former teddy bear shop was received with open arms by Hobart locals and visitors alike when it opened in 2019. With cosy interiors and some of the nicest staff in the business, you’ll be jostling for a seat at Sunbear, and for good reason. Aside from a crazy good breakfast and brunch menu, the house-made cakes are next level and highlight the best in-season goodies — think apricot frangipane tart or peach, polenta and lemon upside down cake.
Best restaurants in Hobart
The tables and chairs are sturdy and wooden, the tableware is all warm shades of cocoa and mustard and there are vases of backyard flowers clumped on every surface. The food is simple and nourishing: fresh juices, well-stuffed salad sandwiches, the toastiest of toasties and perfectly turned omelettes made from local chook eggs.
