Laneway Cafe

When I arrived the kitchen was closed, so didn’t get to try the savory menu.
HOWEVER, this place is fantastic! Had a coffee and a slice of cake that was quite good (if a bit expensive, at $ 11 a slice).
Gorgeous little coffee shop, very active in trying to bring some culture to this town. A nice place to enjoy a few hours !

Nice sweet hot chocolate, free range eggs, appropriate serving sizes (not for buffet aficionado), great strong coffee (mine was a soy), relaxed funky soundtrack, good vibe.

Just arrived in the boat. Great coffee and food. Very «Melbourne». Good service. Simple but good breakfast menu. The smashed avocado was great.

Laneway Café was brought to my attention back during my work for the Ten Days on the Island festival in March. Each of the ten «festival towns» had a «supper club», a festival takeover of a local venue, and in Devonport the supper club was at Laneway Café.
Laneway is in a laneway (legit name, tick) off Steele St in the centre of town, just down from an adorably-​curated vintage store called Mr Wolf. I’m still full from breakfast in Burnie (it’s only half an hour down the road) so I perch at the window bench and have a coffee and a delicious fresh juice.
Laneway is brimming with patrons of all ages, enjoying a Saturday lunch out with friends and family. So nice. The space itself is gorgeous, and as well as a café this place also markets itself as a delicatessen, and I make eyes at the cheese fridge before reminding myself there’s still around four hours of driving ahead of me.
Definitely heading back here again next time I’m up north. I need to give that food menu a good run for its money!
