Fundamental Espresso — Restaurant in Devonport

Absolutely loved our visit to Fundamental Espresso! I ordered a double shot oat latte and my partner had the long black with a double shot—both were spot on. The texture was perfect, super smooth, not the slightest bit bitter, and you can tell they use quality beans! 🙌🏾😍

We also grabbed a couple of bagels—halloumi for me and a BLT for my partner. Fresh, tasty, and really satisfying🙏🏽

The café has a welcoming, spacious vibe with music that's not too loud—just the right volume to enjoy some old school bangers in the background, which really added to the relaxed and fun atmosphere. It's a great spot to sit in and relax or grab something on the go. Plus, there are some great views just around the corner. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in...

Where to start. You drive off the boat and barely know what day it is.

Coffee. They absolutely nail the long black, despite not using anything special in terms of beans. Please fix that, as Tassie have some awesome roasters.

Then you get the music. Last trip I heard Neal Francis playing. Shazam helped and haven’t stopped listening to him since.

But here is the kicker. The bagels. A little pricey, yes, but they could be the best I’ve ever had. That’s including Melbourne and New York.

Everything about this salmon bagel is perfect. The dill and capers through the cream cheese, the Tassie smoked salmon, the slice of cucumber for freshness and crunch. And the bagel, nice and doughy, but not chewy.

God damn....

Google Maps lost my review from Sept 2023 along with the actual listing of this great little local gem. (I must say, Google Maps hasn't fixed this despite me bringing it to their attention Jan 2024 🙄)

I was introduced to this place by a local friend. Their coffees are second to none, and have actually improved compared to my first time here. Quality is well above the Tassie average, and comparable to Melbourne standards.

AND their truffles mushie sandwich is to die for. Even better after a good workout session!!

And I must give a shout out to the team as well, who are always warmly welcoming to every single customer. You can see this from the high level of customer throughput here! Keep up the great work...
