"Believe the hype.
The walnut croissant is fabulous. The chicken sandwich is fresh and the coffee is delicious. Seating in the cafe is comfortable, well spaced and there’s a second level for more seating.
I don’t know how they manage it but the walnut croissant is a different level crispy and fragrant with the walnut filling.
As a tourist, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here and the staff were friendly.
Would recommend 100%"

"Ordered 2 white coffees, the morning bun, and the chocolate walnut croissant. Slightly pricey bakes at 8-9AUD per item.
Coffees were the best we had in launceston.
Morning bun is effectively a cinnamon bun, but I thought it lacked a bit of flavour even though the texture was nice. Was also a bit of too much of the same thing.
Chocolate walnut croissant is better! More moist and easier to down. Tastier too.
Came on a weekday morning at about 9am, did not have to wait for a table."
Matt Ho
"This place is gorgeous. The industrial vive is great. Coffee was delicious and the sweet danish well it came a close second to my mothers. Partner had the house crumpets and he was very impressed with their taste and quality."
