Sco & Co. and The Lifebuoy Cafe

Best breakfast in Tassie! Absolutely amazing food, friendly and attentive staff, and a beautifully decorated space full of charm and character. The coffee was excellent, and the décor and ambience were completely on point—I could have happily spent the whole day here. The only challenge was choosing what to order, knowing I won’t be back until our next visit to Tassie! There’s also a lovely little corner showcasing local arts and treasures, which adds even more warmth to the place. I’ve given 4 stars for food only because the bread wasn’t sourdough, though I understand that’s purely a personal preference. Otherwise, everything was exceptional. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in St Helens. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience!

Best pancakes I’ve ever had! This place is incredible. Such a cute cafe with a fantastic menu and amazing food. The atmosphere is lovely, with friendly staff and nice decor. The menu has a huge range of food. We got the pancakes and the scrambled egg on toast and both were amazing. The pancakes were packed with toppings and everything tasted divine. The cafe is very busy and has quite long queues, but the staff are lovely and even brought some free samples for people waiting in the line. There’s also little card games on the table to entertain you while you wait. Despite the long queue, the wait for food was very short. Can’t recommend this place enough, wish we were staying longer so we could go again!

The café looked absolutely divine by the bay — warm, cozy, and full of charm. We tried the homemade spiced beans, breakfast croissant, and beef burger, and everything was delicious. The coffee was rejuvenating, and the staff were genuinely friendly. Loved the little boutique inside too — such a lovely touch! A perfect spot in the heart of town and definitely worth the stop. 🌿☕💛

Amazing breakfast experience! The food was absolutely delicious and arrived very quickly. Everything looked beautiful and tasted great. Highlight of the visit: a cat sitting on the chair next to me 🐱✨ Highly recommended. I would definitely come back!🥰

We went to have brunch a group of 10 people and everything was really good. Me and my partner had the french toast, pancakes, matcha and a capuccino and everything was 10/10. It was busy, there was a line but food arrived quickly. All the staff was really nice, I'll definitely go back!

We went here on a very busy Saturday morning - queue was out the door to order - however it moved reasonably quickly and it was definitely worth the wait. All the food looked amazing. We had the granola and the pasta salad - both were beautiful - pasta was the best I have had in a long time. As I am finding out during my time in Aus - the coffee is always brilliant and the strawberry matcha was good 😋

Amazing cafe. Opens early for breakfast. I had the Granola which was delicious but too much for me. I wish they did half portions. The coffee was superb too. Lily the Cat is a beautiful hostess and makes you feel at home. The décor is lovely. It has indoor and outdoor seating. A really lovely place. I’ll be back tomorrow

We started our day having brunch here before heading to the Bay of Fires. The Canadian Waffles were not bad (maybe I am slightly biased as I am Canadian myself), but the House Made Spiced Beans, with jalapeños, were sooooo good. We wished we ordered two of these. We added a hash brown which was also good. Service was also excellent. And it was a very windy morning, but we were free to change seats. A pleasant experience all around. Highly recommended.

It's quiet up in this area, and this is one of the few places that was open when I drove through, a little cafe inside of an antique shop. They had essentially one vegetarian breakfast option, which was a piece of bread with some (possibly canned) beans, slightly overcooked mushrooms, and spinach. Great it was not, but it was filling, and they didn't gouge me on price, so I give them credit for trying.
