I always stop here when I'm visiting Mt Field National Park. They have a wide range of coffees, burgers, sandwiches, and other awesome meals. Their chips are sensational, and the Chai Latte is divine. It is such a convenient place to have lunch before exploring Mount Field National Park and definitely worth the 90-minute drive from Hobart. They also have a small gift shop attached to the restaurant with some Tasmanian related products and is also adjacent to the visitor centre where you can get information about the national park. I've never had a bad experience here and completely recommend a visit.

Beautiful spot to have a coffee & a sweet. Serves lunch & breakfast also alcohol. We got our high from the three falls hike..not the alcohol! Coffee had a good flavour & was strong & rich. Pleasant service too.

I ordered a Burrito Bowl which was 10/10! My husband had the brekky which he loved. Perfect fuel prior to our hiking trip for the day. Staff were friendly and prompt. Very spacious cafe. Enjoyed looking in the gift store afterwards.
