Harbour Lights Cafe

Harbour Lights Cafe sits on Morrison Street near Hobart's lovely waterfront, in the heart of the Tasmanian capital. A much-loved cafe in a great location near the docks, it's earned a strong following for its quality food and good coffee — combined with a relaxed atmosphere and a lovely position close to the harbour, the kind of welcoming spot perfect for a bite by the water.

The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare, good coffee and a relaxed setting near Hobart's waterfront, ideal for a morning coffee, a leisurely brunch or a casual bite while exploring the harbour and Salamanca area. With the lovely waterfront close by, it's a natural stop, and Harbour Lights has clearly won over a big, loyal crowd.

With a 4.4 rating from more than 1,600 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Menus, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular waterfront-area cafe gets busy on weekend mornings and over the tourist season, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a coffee and a casual bite near the water, it's often just a matter of dropping in near the Hobart docks.
