Cafe Mondello — Restaurant in Launceston

This is a long one.

Cafe Mondello is an absolute gem in Tasmania. A MUST VISIT for anyone that is frustrated with inconsistent coffee, poor service and overpriced food, you will get NONE of this here.

Different Baristas and the coffee is always the same, OUTSTANDING. The type of place that doesnt look for coffee awards but i bet if they did, they would leave premiere locations in their wake.

I have never experienced such fast service, you really feel looked after here.

As a business they are really clued into the fact that the most important thing for a cafe is the vibe and not pretention.

It has a feeling like a home away from home, its cozy and friendly, welcoming and they are always very flexible to those needing some extra care with their needs.

I have seen them cater for all size gatherings really really well, and are particularly family friendly whilst also super fast for those needing a quick coffee on their way to work. They are very attentive without overcrowding.

Now to the food. They have so many regulars because the food is sumptious and its always like that, they are really experienced and understand that its not about flash, its the taste.

All this in a small space, try them, add them to your itinerary, try somewhere new, somewhere that isnt a modelling contest, its about YOU...

Coffee is good, but that's as far as I will go, the place was busy for breakfast on Saturday 17/4,

We were greeted by a young lady who was very rude, my wife and I were looking at each other thinking what we've done wrong. The table wasn't sanitised or cleaned when it was cleared, in this day and age I thought something like this would be high priority. Ordered a coffee, took approx 10 minutes to arrive. Didn't mind this at all.

Prior to ordering, we were advised there is a 20-25 min wait for breakfast which was ok. Ordered scrambled eggs on toast and smashed avo, waited over 45 minutes for breakfast and still waiting...

The service and price was not worth it at all, regret not going back to the cafe a...

Am guessing most reviews are from friends/locals.

Came for breakfast by looking up top cafés Launceston. Seated outside as no room left inside. Promised the heater would be turned on because it was soo cold, that didn’t happen. Ordered drinks came out not long after. Waited around 30min for food to come out, kids come out after ours. We spent close to $100 for 3 meals and some drinks for breakfast.

Truly Overly priced for the meals plus 30min wait for some fritters on greens, eggs/bacon toast and drinks.

The gentleman were kind and friendly and tried accomodating that gives it...
