pOp cafe

The coffee and apple cinnamon muffin was great however the coffee was made by the owner. He was pleasant and took a lot of care with the coffees.
The young pierced man who served me had been making coffees up til that point. He was moody and even rude when I ordered and paid.
The burgers looked fantastic and the place got very busy for lunch.

Excellent all-​around establishment! I mostly visit for lunch, for which you can’t go past their excellent range of burgers! Definitely the best burgers in Hobart.
Coffee is consistently great lately, and milkshakes are also excellent.
Other foods, including burritos, soups and salads are really good as well.
Friendly and helpful staff.

2013’s motto is «HONESTY», so I have to update my review. I love pOp, because of the regular Friday morning meet-​ups here for #socialhob. I think Michael (the owner) is tops – a really friendly guy. He spoils the Social Hobart crew and in return, we frequent his establishment.
The food is delicious. pOp’s breakfast burger, or «Pulo burger», has become synonymous with Friday mornings for me. I haven’t had a pOp dog in store but the Danish dog I had out at pOp’s stall at MoMa took me to another place – a place I like to call «my happy place» (but that’s basically the grounds at MONA anyway, so it all made sense).
pOp’s Rocket (carbonated sugarfied coffee) is an experience, and better than any energy drink I’ve ever had.
But the coffee is kind of woeful. I don’t want to lay blame on the barista, because he’s a sweetheart, but this year I’ve resolved to not knowingly order average coffee any more, which means I can’t drink coffee at pOp until something changes.

Run by Mike, a friendly sort who’ll stop to have a chat with you while you order your coffee — which will be brilliant, by the way! I haven’t begun to scratch the surface of the menu so I can’t comment on food, but I could LIVE on the coffee.
Turn up at 8am on a Friday morning and look for the big table full of nerds — this is where #socialhob /​@socialhob /​Social Hobart meets up once a week. Newcomers are welcome, and entitled to a free coffee. ;)

Pop Café is a great spot run by an exce4ptionally friendly team. Bright and cheerful, they serve good coffee and good food. I’m a fan of the burgers and especially the chilli dogs, but (sorry guys) have been a bit under-​whelmed by the breakfasts. I do recommend dropping in here for a quick lunch and good company — also don’t miss Social Hobart on Friday mornings from 8.

This was one of my first ever reviews, and I think it’s okay to change your mind on things.
The breakfast food I have sampled is great. My particular favourite is the Breakfast Burger.
They do fine hot chocolates.
But the owner has a real issue with cats. While originally I applauded them for their amazing cat hot chocolate art, the owner is too concerned that’s cats are ‘uncool’ and have ruined my enjoyment of my cat-​decorated-​drinks.
They also have woeful WiFi — a private connection which was opened to the public, but cannot handle more than one user connecting at a time, which makes me sad.
There is so much promise here, and so many people willing to help (An Internode Wifi Application is almost complete!), but yet nothing.
However, I will continue to support them as THE location for #socialhob at 8am on Friday mornings.
