Jackman & McRoss

Jackman & McRoss is a long-established Hobart bakery with a strong focus on traditional baking and everyday treats. Its range includes artisan breads, flaky pastries, croissants, pies, slices, tarts, cakes, biscuits and breakfast and lunch offerings. The bakery says its goods are baked fresh each morning, with locally sourced ingredients used where possible.

The online range gives a useful sense of what to expect. Savoury options include 3 cheese quiche, family pies, wallaby, lamb and beef pies, a veg pastie, sausage rolls and lamb parcels. There are also classic and celebration cakes, whole cakes for larger occasions, and lighter options such as biscuits and pastries. Breakfast and lunch choices listed online include baguettes, big breakfast, frittata, eggs Benedict and a ham and cheese croissant.

The bakery has two Hobart locations: its Battery Point shop at 57 Hampden Road and a second venue at 30 Cross Street, New Town. The Battery Point site is described as a gathering place for locals, families and visitors, with people dropping in for coffee and a pastry, picking up bread for the week or buying something for a special occasion. That makes it suitable for a quick solo stop, a casual catch-up or a family treat, although the website does not provide detailed information about seating or the layout of either location.

Jackman & McRoss presents itself as a community-minded bakery built around careful preparation, friendly service and consistency. Its story centres on early-morning baking and a connection to Hobart’s local food scene, rather than a highly specialised single product. The website also promotes catering, online ordering, merchandise and Facebook updates for daily specials, new creations and community events. Both locations are listed as open Monday to Saturday from 7am to 5pm and Sunday from 7am to 4pm. With a 4.5 Google rating from 236 reviews, it is a well-regarded option for baked goods and casual breakfast or lunch in Hobart.
