Why it's worth checking out
Cafe Mondello sits on Charles Street in central Launceston, in Tasmania's north. A much-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 food in a relaxed, characterful setting.
The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare, good coffee and a relaxed, characterful setting in a convenient central location, ideal for a morning coffee, a leisurely brunch or a casual catch-up. In a city that takes its food and coffee seriously, a spot that's nailed the fundamentals stands out, and Cafe Mondello has clearly won over a loyal following.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 400 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 great coffee and a quality bite, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well rated in Launceston.
