Bakery, cakery, casual noshery and coffee house rolled into one.

Editorial


Battery Point, backing onto the warehouses and waterfront of Salamanca Place, is Hobart's oldest and historically the best and most charmingly preserved suburb. Most of the original cottages and grand mansions are still occupied, with many along narrow and winding Hampden Road having been gentrified into restaurants, coffee and antique shops, art galleries and trendy boutiques. Jackman and McRoss is, most appropriately, a recycling of the area's original bakery and butchery.

Combine location, location, location with quality, innovation and service and you have the hottest cafe, bakery and casual noshery in town. The place simply buzzes from early morning to late afternoon with an eclectic local and tourist crowd. There are coffee heart-starters and croissant breakfasts, through light lunches as fresh and creatively modern as you could wish for, and onto an after-work rush for the last of their wonderful sourdough, 16-hour loaves, other specialty breads and dessert pastry indulgences. They were one of the first in town to get into the modern combined bakery/cafe game and they still set the standard.

Didn't get to visit during my research trip to Battery Point... http://www.think-tasmania.com/battery-point/ Do you think it's worth a return?
