Moon Lily Kitchen and Cakes

Moon Lily Kitchen and Cakes sits on Weld Street in Beaconsfield, a historic former gold-mining town in the Tamar Valley region of northern Tasmania. A charming cafe known for its cakes and baked treats, it's become a much-loved local spot — the kind of welcoming, quality cafe that's a genuine find in a smaller regional town.

The appeal is that combination of good coffee, beautifully made cakes and casual fare in a relaxed, friendly setting, perfect for a stop while exploring the Tamar Valley and its wineries, the West Tamar and the historic sights nearby. In a regional town, a cafe earning this kind of reputation really stands out.

With a 4.8 rating from more than 400 reviews, it's clearly delighting its visitors. Menus, the cake selection, opening hours and offerings change, and a popular cafe can sell out of favourites and gets busy at peak times, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a coffee and a slice of cake, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing what's in the cabinet that day.
