Jackman & McRoss

We love Jackman & McRoss.

Great coffee, great food, great ambiance!

Jackman & McRoss is a little gem of a cafe and bakery, one of which is found in Battery Point, the part of Hobart so cute you just have to pinch its cheeks and chuck it under the chin! A short walk from Salamanca Market, this bright, airy and pram-friendly cafe (an important consideration for us these days!) has excellent fare (we've tried a couple of the pies) and very good coffee. We sat there rhapsodising over our food and decided it rivalled the very best cafes we've patronised in Melbourne. Its decor is stylish yet understated, the vibe is relaxed and comfortable and the prices are about average for cafes of this ilk. We've also sampled various sweet pastries, filled rolls and savoury tarts, and everything has been unfailingly excellent! This is definitely going to be our Hobart coffee house!

Where: 57-59 Hampton Rd, Battery Point; 4 Victoria St, Hobart; 32 Cross St, New Town
