Amazing amazing amazing! Best brunch/breakfast ever! Impeccable preparation of brunch dishes, with possibly the best Croque Monsieur we have ever tried. If you get to the city centre for the first time and have no clue where to have a coffee day-starter, this place will kick things off the right way! A total value for money!

I find myself really struggling with this review. I’ve given it 5 stars because it is obviously popular with the locals and meets their needs. It is really crowded and bustling as I write this and every patron looks really happy. So yes, successful. For me, I thought the coffee was superb. The food, although very well cooked and presented, failed to impress me. It was as if the place was trying too hard to be fancy. I mean, I adore the simple egg and bacon roll. Here they smother it in garlic aioli and tomato sauce. I know many places add tomato sauce (I always ask for it to be excluded) but two sauces! Surely that smothers the simple beauty of eggs and bacon. But that’s me. We had poached eggs (gorgeous) on sourdough where the crust was so hard it made eating it a challenge. Lovely flavours, but irritating to eat. Any, still 5 stars. Super service. But if your tastes run to the basics like me, just be aware.

Lobby Eatery is an easy-to-find treat on Macquarie Street, with easily the most visually appealing barista work I’ve ever seen and our hot drinks were so good we had to order round 2. I ordered the pain perde (I’m not sure how to spell it sorry) and my plate left me feeling completely satisfied. I don’t usually like meringue but I thought it was perfect. Not to mention the outstanding plating! However, one thing I would suggest is possibly a little more variety on your breakfast menu. Other than that, I loved it here and will be coming back as well as telling my friends about Lobby Eatery.

Open for breakfast on Saturdays, from 08:00 am. I called around 09:30, only a few empty tables. One waitress adequately covering the diners, welcoming and efficient. After perusing the menu I started with a Golden Elixir Smoothie, followed by Mats Omelette and finished with a Black Fields Latte. All very good. The chef/cook was kept busy, as was the barista during the time I was there. A clean and pleasant cafe for singles, pairs or small groups, surprisingly quiet, so easy to converse. Very happy with this find, very convenient for Real Tennis players.

The very first place my parents and I stopped while visiting Hobart for the first time and we couldn’t have picked a better one. Based on the reviews we decided to stop for breakfast and is easy to understand why this place has such a good rating. Coffees were spot on, I had the special of the day for food which was cracker. The reuben and eggs ben were amazing too plus the service was worth it a 20% tip. Will definitely stop by every time in Hobart!
