For a coffee obsessive visiting family in a smaller part of Tasmania I was worried I wouldn't have…read morea great coffee shop nearby. Maxie proved me wrong. 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.

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.

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.

Even though it's a refurbished church - there are no windows to see out of and it felt a little 'dull'. Will go again though as I am a local and definitely want to give it another try.

Here are some things I like:…read more 1. tea 2. buying local This review isn't just a list of things I like. It's because Art of Tea has a wonderful range of loose leaf teas all blended here in Tasmania. They can be found on a Saturday at the famed Salamanca Market, they can be found in numerous stores across the state, or they can be found out here at their warehouse and little office. It's a little way out of town but for the locals it can be a safer trek than braving the market (most of us leave that for the tourists). If you're interested in tea and love the ritual of loose leaf, then definitely consider picking up a box (or two, or three, or half a dozen) of Art of Tea. I've enjoyed all the blends I've tried so far but particularly like the Tassie-focused blends like Mt Wellington blend, Salamanca blend and Tassie Devil tea. (I think you can even get these three in a gift pack together from the market, for obvious touristy reasons!) I'm not sure if they taste great because they're so special or if there was a particular focus on making these ones taste the BEST because we're all Tassie Proud down here, but in any case, HOORAY. If you're a regular, make sure you ask for a loyalty card, where you can actually get every 10th box free!

Most of the sweets are nice, not sure where they get them from; the savoury items a bit less so. Service is slow. Very slow. There's only two people on at any one time, one person taking orders and one person making the coffee. Sit down, grab the paper or a magazine because it will be awhile before your drink is ready. Obviously not their fault at all, but there is a mobile reception dead spot RIGHT where they are, so you can't even swipe left or write your latest Yelp review while you wait. Ughh. The coffee? So-so. Italian style (meaning thick, heavy and somewhat bitter). Asking for anything besides a stock standard coffee order results in visible confusion, so best to skip the almond milk or a dry cappuccino. Your options are somewhat limited if you want a coffee at Channel Court, though - You could get it from the bakery near Woolies or upstairs at the Timeless Way (both of which have their own issues), but I would guess most of their business is because their location rather than the quality of their coffee.
