Was pleased to be recommended this place for brunch in Hobart and would likely pass on the tip to future travellers. The house has been various different businesses in its life and now on a sunny Sunday morning the current proprietors have a real gem of a place to relax. Enjoying the shade of the verandah, or lazing back in a deckchair on the lawn, the front yard is blessed to be shielded from Sandy Bay Road with lovely big trees, but yet is still drenched in sun on the right days. Inside is beautifully furnished and is a nice break from the pub/restaurant style breakfasts in Hobart or the emerging Melbourne hipster-style cafes starting to arrive here. This is more in the style of my other n...
Gorgeous cottage decor fitting of the name Duchess. Of all the cafes in Sandy Bay, it provides the best selection of cooked meals (not premade rolls), exciting salads trendy specials of the day. I take friends there because of the variety exciting menu.<br/ <br/ However, no matter how many times I have been there, it doesn't feel welcoming. <br/ <br/ They have a kids menu (toasted sandwich/ milkshake, fruit jellies $10 equivalent breakfast menu), which is good.<br/
We came to this beautiful historic home for breakfast and dined on the verandah overlooking the lush garden. We both had ‘the duchess’ which the menu says is a smaller version of ‘the duke’ consisting of egg, bacon, sausage, homemade beans, mushroom and tomato on toast. While it says it’s a small version, don’t be fooled, it was a pretty large breakfast. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meal and coffee. Service was good, we only wish the weather was better!
Great coffee and amazing food. I got the sweet corn waffle with smoked salmon and dill sauce, it was delicious highly recommend if you like salmon. The coffee is great, almost too strong for my taste but that's just personal preference. Gorgeous decor and charm of a renovated cottage. Extremely friendly service. Can't fault this place.

Stumbled across this quaint little place when looking for a lunch venue. Beautiful old home converted into a cafe elegant decor with homely charm. Had the special of corn fritters, avocado creme with a chilli tomato relish. Absolutely delicious! Really friendly service as well.
Good food and great location. Cozy cafe on the main road that looks like a cute cottage. Food was great but the chai latte was too milky and had no flavour which was a disappointment but the service and everything else was top notch. Would recommend.
We went for breakfast which is located in a nice house. On a nice day one can seat along the verandah and garden. Coffee was well made. Food was delicious.
Amazing food ate the steak sandwich and corn fritters. Delish! Super friendly and chatty staff. Beautiful heritage clean building. 10/10 would recommend.
