This is an absolutely delightful cafe. The coffee and food is spectacular- my wife said she had the best Dutch pancake she's ever eaten. The venue was spacious. Fully wheelchair accessible. Highly recommended.

We stoped here for Brekky on our way from Davenport to Hobart. As a Victorian, and someone who lived in Melbourne for many years, it’s hard to concede that this is the best cafe I’ve ever eaten at. All our meals were delicious, especially the smashed avo with rosti on side. Great pot of tea and super friendly staff. The owner, son and a few locals kicking the footy in adjacent laneway. Gorgeous place.

My farming friend and I have both farmed livestock so it might seem ironic that we choose a vegetarian restaurant for lunch. But we respect food choices when they're made with the provenance of the ingredients in mind. Plus, we know the Mad Apple chefs present deliciousness on a plate. When our lunch dishes arrived they were presented with simple elegance, small bowls layered on plates and boards. My choice was the special of Butter 'Chicken' Curry with rice and garlic naan while my friend opted for Arancini balls with roast tomato and purple basil, and a potato salad side. My curry was silky and fragrant, and the chicken was of course make-believe. There was a rich umami sauce, and crispy, lightly-charred-on-the-outside, melt-in-the-mouth naan bread, which is obviously made in-house and I suspect with milk to make it soft. My friend had chosen a carb-plus-carb combination which sounded good when ordering but was a bit same-y in reality. This was compensated for later, since she had spotted Tiramisu on the dessert menu, with Mascarpone cream and dulce de leche, coffee ice cream and crumble, the last two components made in-house. It came layered in glasses with a decorative sprinkling of coffee beans and rounded off our meal in decadent style. If you'd like to read more about our lunch at the Mad Apple you'll find the full review in the upcoming edition of Forty South Tasmania, in newsagents and on their website soon. You can find my books about slow living and food in Tasmania on Amazon.

Expect vegetarian, but saying that, WOW, what wonderful flavours in our meals. Went in for a big brekky and crepes, not disappointed. Great coffee and juice also. Atmosphere was lovely with the sun beaming in through the big window at front, staff very attentive, food simply amazing and well priced. Have been meaning to try this cafe before leaving Launceston (this week) wish we’d come earlier and more often. We’ll be back one day. Save us a seat!

good flat white, but the real star of the show here is their ‘cookie monster shake’ (a cookies and cream milkshake with whipped cream) — excellent look and taste, enough for me to overlook how easy it is to sip! it also helps that the place is very pretty with the warm lighting, greenery, and nice staff. definitely come here with a friend to try the cookie monster shake!
