Boathouse Coffee

Boathouse Coffee sits on Lindsay Street at Invermay, just across the river from central Launceston in northern Tasmania. A well-loved cafe, it's become a genuine local favourite — the kind of welcoming, quality spot that draws a steady stream of regulars for good coffee and casual fare in a relaxed, friendly setting.

The appeal is that combination of quality coffee, good cafe food and a welcoming feel, conveniently located close to the city. In a region with a quietly excellent food scene, a consistently well-loved cafe stands out and earns its loyal following, whether for a morning coffee, a leisurely brunch or a casual catch-up.

With a 4.8 rating from more than 500 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. Menus, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular cafe gets busy on weekend mornings, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a coffee and a casual bite, it's often just a matter of dropping in and finding a spot among the regulars who know it well.
