Why it's worth checking out
Laneway sits on Steele Street in Devonport, on Tasmania's north-west coast and the arrival point for the Spirit of Tasmania ferry. 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 casual fare in a relaxed setting.
The appeal is that combination of quality cafe food, good coffee and a warm, characterful feel in a convenient central location, ideal for a morning coffee, a leisurely brunch or a casual catch-up. For travellers arriving by ferry or exploring the north coast, it's a great, well-placed stop, and a consistently well-loved local besides.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 1,200 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 coffee and a casual bite, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well loved in central Devonport.
