Try sliders or a duck cassoulet for breakfast. For the nostalgic, cereal and cartoons with almond, pistachio, leatherwood and quinoa granola, kiwi fruit yoghurt and some play-time on their iPad. Small Fry made a name for themselves with gourmet doughnuts like peanut butter with freeze-dried raspberries and rhubarb, strawberry and vanilla jam.
Watch while the Chef prepares your meal.

Property of Pilgrim celebrates Tasmanian produce. The considered menu pushes the envelope. Cape Grim hanger steak with blueberries, horseradish and sour cream, $20; Pirates Bay octopus, $18; buttermilk spiced alpaca bun, $18. Always well executed in a hip inner-city enclave. An eye to Paleo too.
Property of Pilgrim does not take reservations.

The monopoly on Hobart’s morning sunshine, a fifties design and quirky additions that create a modern café. The diverse menu includes super foods and Paleo; green juice and breakfast meatloaf. Or try the Chinese fried chilli omelette, $12.50; or the pumpkin rosti, poached eggs, burnt butter hollandaise, $14. The ultra-friendly staff wear shorts and tees and take your order by iPod.

North Hobart’s stand out. A thriving café with good coffee and gorgeous food you won’t forget like gingerbread hotcake, caramelised quince, pecans and vanilla crème fraiche, $16. Modern takes on standards like smashed avocado on toast with lemon and Persian feta, $12; and a celebration of breakfast egg dishes like the smoked pork cheek, golden eggs, fennel apple slaw and black pudding, $19.

With Native American, Mexican and Hispanic influences, Chulo is Spanish for pretty hot. That’s cute and spicy. Pulled pork, pink onions, cheese and chipotle crema with corn tortillas, $10; eggs in tomato salsa, black beans, tortillas, $14, and una bucketita of churros, $10. Try the biggest brekkie burrito in the southern hemisphere or the classic huevos rancheros. The café is stripped bare, clean white walls and seats of upturned milk crates on wheels.
Go elsewhere for pretenses. Try Chulo for chilli with your morning coffee.
