providence cafe

one of hobart's best kept secrets; providence has been serving the locals of north/west hobart excellent fresh & lite brunch for 3 years now. the service is laid back but adequately attentive, very friendly and acomidating.

visiting my blista for the weekend & she bought me to one of her favorite cafes. warm & cozy atmosphere. great staff, delish food & good xtra hot, xtra shot coffee. shared & enjoyed our soup of the day. my only wish is the lattes came in a much bigger glass. i love my coffees in xl mug or bowl size lol awesome customer service! highly recommend😄

taste sensation. i have just eaten the best breakfast of my life. 56 yrs old and i have travelled the world. eaten at michelin restaurants all over. if you have to go to hobart have the smashed eggs. wow! coffee superb

decided to give this cafe a shot. so visited on a weekday morning, and we were welcomed by a lovely cute staff there 😊.
it was a small quiet cafe and the staff were really attentive and smiling. took our order and the food came out well presented. they gave us generous portions of the smoked salmon which was a bonus. coffee was great and food was reasonably priced.
this cafe is hidden in a corner away from the busy strip and deserves more attention!

big call.... when i saw these guys doing the fit out i thought, beautiful building, but does hobart need another cafe? i'm glad i kept my mouth shut because these guys seriously knew what they were doing & now serve the best coffee and cafe food in tasmania. service is impeccable - everyone acknowledged when you walk in, kids welcome, dogs given water out the front, genuine people. and the coffee... well i'm not going to say because it is already too hard to get a seat!

one of our favourite ports of call on a sunny morning. the staff are friendly, alert and engaging. breakfasts are good value. coffees are a wonderful way to start your day.

food and  coffee was ok. my daughter had smashed avocado on turkish bread $15 and i had poached eggs with avocado and mushrooms $18. not really great value so for a total of $41(which included a coffee and a orange juice)  i wouldn't bother going back again.

the best breakfast in hobart, worth the journey! everything was absolutely delicious. the specials were all different and interesting sounding, i wish we were here longer so i could try more things. the bacon was incredible, i think i rate it as the best i have ever had. yum, yum, yum. will be back!

i came to this place randomly with my mom and we loved it.
i brought my wife and mother inlaw here and they say it's the best meals they've had in tassie so far.

my wife had the baked eggs with beans and chorizo. this was was delicious and hearty.
i had the poached eggs on potato rosti.
my mother inlaw had the roasted veggies.

can say anything more than every dish is delicious and would definitely come back on my next trip to tassie.

very nice and quiet little corner café with lovely staff and service.
very reasonable price for big portions breakfast.
we had the poached eggs with smashed peas, chorizo & house tamariuo chutney, and poached eggs with sweet potato rosti, both very nice and well decorated.
the house tamariuo chutney is a highlight of the meal, very rich taste and texture, matches perfectly with the poached eggs. however the poached eggs falls into harder side, a touch overlooked. chorizo, bacon, and halloumi belong to the above average side, could have made the texture a little bit either crispier or softer, otherwise they all feel pretty firm to eat.
overall a very nice experience for breakfast with lovely mountain view from the windows.

nice place, not far from hobart city. easy to park the car.
good coffee and also delicious food . it's a simple place but makes you feel like home.

this was my first venture into food in tasmania (my first visit to tassie) and i wasn't disappointed. multiple staff greeted me with a friendly hello (hobart seems to do friendly service a lot better than melbourne). i sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful september sunshine without having to put up with smokers. the poached eggs on sourdough with halloumi, cumin yoghurt and smashed avocado perfectly hit the spot, as did my ice coffee. i can see why this cafe has such a high rating, they excel at customer service as well as food, something that many places struggle to do (often you find places can be really great at one but not the other.)

quirky little place on the corner of andrew st, just away from the busy cafe-centric elizabeth st that runs parallel. went here as we had read some rave reviews on here, and whilst it was a very nice place it probably fell short of top echelon.

the beans in the baked eggs weren't quite hard enough, and the poached chicken turkish toastie lacked a killer punch that would separate it from just another good breakky.

that said, both meals were still enjoyable, the staff were friendly, price/portion ratio was respectable and you get a good little view staring out to mount wellington when you sit window-side!

great food. very appreciative of the generous smoked salmon helpings! coffee was good, vanilla milkshake was honestly pretty tasteless but i can't fault the place after that!

well, this is not an easy to find cafe since they are not located at a prime area and they don't put a signboard. but an effort to find it were paid off once the coffee and/or were served.

we were very exciting once we arrived at this place. thanks to a friend who drove the car and google map for show us the way.

it is a simple cafe. as we entered the premise, the first impression were homy, friendly and warm. it is like a community coffee shop.

if you are a coffee lover, please check the single origin of the day. i had an ethopian sidamo. the taste was excellence. sweet, berries and choco. by the way, never try a single origin but black coffee. mix it with sugar or -even worse- make it a flavored coffee by adding milk etc will ruin the originality of it. please don't do that.

for food, please check also the special offer of the day.

when i said "this cafe is simple and homy", it solely refers to the look and feel. when it comes to the food, it is a masterclass level, both for taste and presentation as well.

i ordered poached egg with bacon, smashed mint peas, tamarillo chutney and toast. it sounds like a normal simple food, isn't it? now, look at the picture and see how they put everything on plate beautifully.

this is a food you don't want to finish it quickly. you want to taste it bite by bite slowly to allow your senses and emotion drown into the pleasure of eating. in my case, to enjoy the sweet and sour chutney in the middle of a fresh smashed mint peas and the softness of the poached egg.

if you visit hobart tasmania. hunt this place for breakfast. put it on your itenerary, ask your buddies or hotel staff how to reach this place, walk if you have it worths that much ;)
