Pigeon Hole

Pigeon Hole sits on Goulburn Street in central Hobart, in the heart of the Tasmanian capital. A much-loved cafe — with its own bakery roots — it's become a genuine local favourite, known for its quality, freshly baked goods, accomplished cafe fare and good coffee, the kind of welcoming, characterful spot that draws a loyal crowd.

The appeal is that combination of quality food and baking, good coffee and a relaxed, characterful setting in a convenient central location, ideal for a leisurely brunch, a morning coffee or a casual catch-up. In a city that takes its food and coffee seriously, a spot with genuine quality and character stands out, and Pigeon Hole has clearly won over a loyal following.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 850 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 quality brunch and a great coffee, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well rated in Hobart.
