Jackman & McRoss

Jackman & McRoss sits on Hampden Road in Battery Point, the charming, historic harbourside neighbourhood of Hobart. A beloved, long-running bakery and cafe, it's become a genuine Hobart institution — renowned for its beautifully made pastries, pies, breads and cakes, along with quality cafe fare, the kind of treasured spot that draws a steady, loyal crowd.

The appeal is that combination of genuinely excellent baking, quality cafe food and a charming setting in historic Battery Point, ideal for a morning pastry, a leisurely brunch, a quality pie or something delicious to take away. Its longstanding reputation for outstanding baking has made it a real Hobart favourite, beloved by locals and visitors alike.

With a 4.4 rating from more than 2,400 reviews, it's clearly a hugely popular institution. The range, daily baking, menus, opening hours and pricing vary, and a sought-after bakery-cafe gets busy and can sell out of favourites, so it's worth checking current details and arriving early before a special trip — particularly if you've got your heart set on something specific from the cabinet at Battery Point.
