We were staying just above the wharf and spent about 20 minutes walking over. They had a great array of crusty, sweet and savory pastries, pies, and breakfast items. Perhaps the most impressive thing was the fact that their list of specials took up an entire chalkboard. Everything from sweet rolls too, wallaby and rabbit, pie, to some delicious eggs Benedict and a big English breakfast. They had something for everybody, and everything was really good! The place is housed in a relatively old building with a lot of character! Not so old that you're worried that you would find petrified things in the wall, but old enough that you definitely know the place has had a chance to fall over and won't. The staff was really nice, took great care of us and found us seats very quickly, despite the place being busy. All in all, this is a must check out spot whenever you are in town!

A Goat Cheese with grilled onions and greens and. mortadella ham with Swiss, and greens with an aioli sauce. Both were huge and tasty. Big enough for lunch and dinner. We also picked up a package of spiced ginger cookies that were out of this world. A nice bit of coarse salt on each. Service was great and there was a huge line that went quickly. Price for two sandwiches and 5 large cookies a little over 30$ AUDs. A bargain. Highly recommend.

We came here for a late breakfast/early lunch. It is somewhat more of a refined cake and dessert…read moretype bakery, and the dessert items did look fabulous in the case. For breakfast however, it wasn't very good for me as there were very limited lower carb/higher protein items. We ordered an almond croissant and a sausage and shiraz roll along with a flat white coffee. We sat outside as they didn't have the AC running and it was really way too warm inside. They have table service inside and servers that run out the food you had ordered at the counter. They were all super friendly and even asked if everything was satisfactory as they cleared our table. Unfortunately, neither of the baked goods were great. The almond croissant had a nicely laminated dough although it needed a tad of salt. The dough was buttery however lacking flavor most likely due to a lack of salt in the butter they used in the dough. The filling was almost like really dense cake batter with basically no almond flavor - the texture seemed almost right, maybe they forgot the almond paste or almond extract. We are used to a much, much stronger flavored almond croissant with almond paste inside. There were nicely toasted almond slices on the top. The sausage roll was a real disappointment. Although it looked really nice it was very heavy, seemed greasy and had two fundamental flaws. The dough was too thick around the sausage so when they wrapped it and baked it there was way too much dough and it was actually nearly raw all along the bottom edges. The sausage was not crumbled or taken out of the casing so when you bit through the roll (or even cut it as we did) the entire sausage slipped right out of the dough and left a big empty hole! It did have nice caramelized onions and some herbs or spinach (didn't eat enough to know exactly!) between the dough and sausage - they might have contributed to the wet/raw sogginess of the dough if they were not cooked enough and then released water into the dough. They were very gracious when I asked if I could get a refund for the sausage roll as I could not find anything else I wanted to get as a replacement. Our server could not have been any more professional and nice about it. He got approval from his manager and gave us the refund. The flat white was very good. If I needed to eat some lovely desserts I'd give them another try given their professional staff and good service.

Located in Lower Sandy Bay, this upmarket grocer / deli could run the risk of snobbery, but for the…read morefact that the people behind the counter are some of the friendliest you'll meet. The range and quality of food on offer here is incredible. Up one end is a well-stocked deli, with cold meats, pre-made sandwiches and a range of pre-prepared dinners (from 'cook and eat' to simple 'heat and eat'). The fruit section is small but filled with the most delicious local produce; the strawberries in January are particularly recommended. The general groceries section is small but contains all the basics. Of special interest is a fantastic cake section, selling whole cakes, slices thereof, tarts and other delicious treats - all handmade and fresh. The prices are higher than a standard grocery store, as you'd expect, but the quality is more than worth it, and for those living in Lower Sandy Bay or beyond, it's nice to have a convenient one-stop shop for quality eating.

It's cute inside, has a little quaint kitschy vibe. There are a few inside seats, but be forewarned they are VERY close together! Navigating with a pram proves quite difficult. They have a small amount of savoury food- toasties, Party pies, that sort of thing and a case filled with sweets. Coffee was above average, nicely strong without a lot of bitterness. The toddler ate the marshmallow, then rubbed babycino froth through his hair. I'm assuming that means he likes it! It's not quite the best coffee and nibbles around, but you could certainly do far worse!

Staff were also kind and helpful explaining the treats. All were amazing, I particularly liked the cheesecake though. The coffee was also quite good--I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you are in town! Unfortunately their inside sit down area was closed an hour before their online posted time. They had signs up in-person that said 2 while the online said 3. Not a huge deal as they still have outdoor seating and a takeout (takeaway) shop!

LMP originally opened sharing this space with Bury Me Standing Coffee Co, which was a bit of a strange set-up--BMS went their own way a few weeks ago, leaving Little Missy standing alone at 151 Argyle.

My flat white was delicious and accompanied that ridiculously amazing banoffee tart quite nicely indeed as I perched in my window seat.

Oh. Well this is awkward. This place has a stellar…read morereputation around Hobart, but I'm going to drop a truth bomb and tell you that their bagels really are not that great. Well, they're okay, but not truly great. I'm from The States originally and grew up eating bagels with all sorts of weird and wonderful toppings- my all time favourite place makes THIRTY different varieties of bagels daily. With l sorts of fillings and toppings- I know what a great bagel should be: firm on the outside, doughy In the very Center. The bagels here always seem stale, even when they're fresh. I'm sure they aren't making every single bagel fresh every morning, but that's not really a reason to say a mediocre bagel is an amazing bagel. Coffee is okay, I've had way worse but it takes a really long time to get the orders out, so don't come if you're in a hurry. If you're vegan or vegetarian, there are a lot of options which would be nice (unless you think too much about yeast being... a living organism that is intentionally killed solely so we can consume it. But I digress), but realistically with the prices they charge you could buy a bag of supermarket bagels and make your own bagel how you want it and have enough left over for a big bowl of matza ball soup.

Open early (7:30am!!!) for coffee and more their hours seem to be far from consistent. It might be an idea to define far more consistent hours IMO. The menu is extensive and we only had pizzas on our visit. We will be back for sure. They do sandwiches, cakes, scones and so much more. Haven't had a coffee there and let's hope it's good. Early days yet and the concept is great. Let's hope it works!!! They deserve everyone to vist and the locals are already embrassing it.
