Machine Laundry Cafe

Machine Laundry Cafe sits on Salamanca Square at Battery Point, in the heart of Hobart's lovely Salamanca precinct. A genuinely distinctive cafe — famously combining a cafe with a working laundromat — it's earned a strong following for its quality food and coffee and its fun, quirky, characterful concept, the kind of one-of-a-kind spot that's become a beloved Salamanca fixture.

The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare, good coffee and a genuinely unique, characterful setting: you can enjoy a great brunch or coffee while your washing spins, or simply soak up the fun, quirky atmosphere in a prime Salamanca location. Its distinctive concept and quality food have made it a real favourite, and Machine Laundry has clearly won over both locals and visitors.

With a 4.4 rating from more than 1,100 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Menus, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular Salamanca 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 great coffee and a quality bite in a one-of-a-kind setting, it's often just a matter of dropping in at the Machine Laundry Cafe in Hobart.
