Laneway

Amazing cafe which is close to the port. As the first feed after landing Tasmania, I was pretty satisfied. I ordered iced long black and steak n eggs. I would say the steak just normal level but the side foods were great. Nice staffs and good vibe here. BTW, one of the staff was having fried rice which looked so yum! 😆

We had lunch here. Teriyaki Beef Salad, Southern Fried Chicken, Cheese & Bacon Burger, and Steak n Eggs. The food looks great, tastes even better. The staff are friendly and helpful. Very warm atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

The perfect cafe to drop into after disembarking from the Spirit of Tasmania early in the morning. The staff are warm and welcoming and the atmosphere is relaxed. It’s accessible, kid friendly and pet friendly!

Delicious place for breakfast and coffee. Really love the feel and the food. Ate here each morning on an outreach trip for work. Can’t fault it and will certainly be back on my next trip to Devonport.

Why this place is only rated 4.6 will forever be one of life’s greatest mysteries. Calling all glutards: do not bother going anywhere else, do not pass Go, do not collect $200. These guys have you covered. I’m up from Hobart for work and already contemplating how I can convince my husband that we need to drive three hours every Saturday just for brunch. The chicken waffles? Say no more. Hands down the best thing I’ve eaten in a long time—and I eat out a lot. GLUTEN FREE. I’ll be back, and I’ll be shouting this place’s name from the rooftops. Do yourself a favour: just get here now.

Easily one of the best spots in town. The steak sandwich was extremely good. The vibe was amazing, the staff were super friendly. Will happily go back. One criticism is I ordered a croissant and they cut it open and toasted it in some weird way which kinda made it a bit stale and greasy tasting - the joy of a croissant is that that inside stays very fluffy and soft and steamy when it’s hot and you open it. Also better cold and fluffy but definitely never cut open. Also salted butter would be more tasty with it.

Great cafe serving a hearty breakfast and good coffee. Very friendly staff. Open early which suited us and several other passengers who had disembarked from the Spirit of Tasmania. Literally down a little laneway, it was challenging to reach for my husband who uses a walking frame but worth it. Lots of indoor seating, bigger than it looks from the outside. Small outdoor dining area that allows dogs.

Absolutely loved having breakfast here. Food was delicious and filling, serving staff were absolutely lovely, and we were completely taken aback at how quickly we received out drinks and food. Could not recommend more highly. Thanks so much!

Great laneway cafe culture in the heart of Devonport. Excellent maple bacon waffles. Ham / bacon seems to be a specialty.

Really cool cafe, quite hip for Tasmania! Food and service is great and nice ambience.

Laneway Cafe 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 Cafe. 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 cafe 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!

Just popping into this place for a coffee and a snack today. Very overcrowded !! and first appearances are everything ! Dirty dishes left on the tables ,the barista was overstretched . This place maybe trendy, I feel it's in the need of an overhaul and a good clean. We cancelled our order and went over the road.

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 !

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

This place is fantastic! Very happy with the food, good size servings, prompt service and friendly staff. Highly recommend the Apple Crumble Waffles and the Smashed Avo. The music set a retro yet trendy atmosphere. Would definitely return!!

I had the chicken panini today and it was outstanding, incredibly fresh and the service was friendly and fast. My young fella was well accommodated as well with a nice little toasted sandwich, thanks guys and gals.

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.

Amazing service! Great food and incredible vibe ! Definitely one of my favourite places to eat !
