Farm Gate Market, located in the heart of Hobart on Bathurst Street, is a weekly Sunday market with…read moreTasmanian produce, artisanal products, and food trucks. Established in 2009, the market was born out of a vision by founder Madi Peattie, who sought to connect local farmers directly with the community. The market began as a small gathering of farmers and food producers but quickly grew in popularity as both locals and tourists appreciated the quality and variety of goods available. Today, it is home to a diverse range of vendors offering everything from organic fruits and vegetables to Tasmanian honey, cheeses, fresh seafood, baked goods, and more. We strolled through stalls and chatted with friendly vendors eager to share the stories behind their products, and enjoy samples of local favorites. We found... Mother of Pearl Sweeties and this is a must-visit for cookie lovers. We tried the red velvet cheesecake cookie, and let me tell you, it was perfection! The cookie itself had that classic red velvet flavor, rich but not too sweet, with a beautiful, creamy cheesecake filling in the center. It was just the right balance of flavors--soft, a little decadent, and so satisfying. I could easily have eaten ten of these. If you're in Hobart and at the market, do yourself a favor and pick one up!

The MONA Cafe is located on the top level of the Museum of Old and New Art. If you are looking for…read morea casual dining option while visiting the MONA, this would be the place to eat. The menu here consists of typical cafe fare along with a nice selection of baked goods (including cake) and coffee. I had just finished touring the MONA, but still had some time before my ferry ride back to Hobart. Thus, I decided to head over to the cafe to grab a bite. Not feeling terribly hungry, I opted for a slice of hummingbird cake ($7). After paying, I took a seat at one of the tables. I waited a good 10 minutes or so and my order wasn't ready yet. The cafe wasn't busy, so I headed up to the counter to check on it. I explained that I was in a rush as I needed to board the ferry soon. I got my slice of cake shortly after. I do wonder why they didn't just give me the cake at the counter since that was only thing I wanted. The hummingbird cake was pretty good. It has coconut shavings on top and the cake was fluffy. Satisfying enough to tie me over till dinner. While you may come here for the food, the views here are an extra bonus. From the cafe windows, there is a nice view of the Derwent River. There is even outside seating on the lawn if you would like to get a closer view. If you feel hungry while visiting the MONA or Moorilla Winery, the MONA Cafe is a decent option should you want something standard like a salad or just looking for coffee and a pastry. Otherwise, wait until you head back to Hobart to have a meal. Or if you really want to splurge, try The Source instead.

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. It makes a lot more sense. Good that they got in a great barista quick smart and kept the coffee coming! My flat white was delicious and accompanied that ridiculously amazing banoffee tart quite nicely indeed as I perched in my window seat.

Well... a coffee, cake and candles place. You can buy yourself some beautiful home decor and fashion and a pair of golden cuban heel boots that I need in my life but can't possibly afford. Sorry, where was I? Abundance is one of those beautiful whitewashed places where you feel a bit like you're at the beach, not Bellerive. Though I guess Bellerive does have a beach... still, it's not the kind of place you'd go for a beach holiday, whereas Abundance does have that beach holiday vibe. (I shouldn't write reviews at midnight.) My friend and I stopped by the other afternoon for some delicious iced beverages on a warm day, and we brought the average age of the customers down a good few years, so there's that.

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!

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.
