Why it's worth checking out
Straight Up Coffee and Food sits on Liverpool Street in central Hobart, in the heart of the Tasmanian capital. A well-regarded cafe, it's earned a strong reputation for its quality coffee and food — 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 coffee, good cafe fare 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 Straight Up has clearly won over a loyal following.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 550 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 casual bite, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well rated in Hobart.
