Parla

Parla sits on Wellington Street in central Launceston, in Tasmania's north. A well-regarded cafe, it's earned a strong reputation for its quality food and coffee — the kind of welcoming, characterful spot that's become a genuine local favourite for a proper cup or a relaxed bite in the city centre.

The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare, good coffee and a relaxed, characterful setting in a convenient central location, ideal for a morning coffee, a leisurely brunch or a casual catch-up. In a city that takes its food and coffee seriously, a spot that's nailed the fundamentals stands out, and Parla has clearly won over a loyal following.

With a 4.8 rating from more than 260 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 great coffee and a quality bite, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well rated in Launceston.
