Why it's worth checking out
Criterion Street Cafe sits on Criterion Street in central Hobart, in the heart of the Tasmanian capital. 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 atmosphere in a convenient central Hobart location, ideal for a leisurely brunch, a morning coffee or a casual catch-up. In a city that takes its food and coffee seriously, a cafe that's nailed both really stands out, and Criterion Street Cafe has clearly won over a loyal following.
With a 4.5 rating from more than 780 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 quality brunch and a great coffee, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well rated in central Hobart.
