Cafe Umami — Restaurant in Tasmania

It was lunchtime and I driving along the main street of Wynyard looking for a car park. Found one right out front of Cafe Umami. What a fluke this turned out to be, because I was actually intending to go to the French Bakery across the road. What a find. I'm so pleased to be able to share this with other foodies. Its full table service. I ordered smoothie called Brainfood, that consisted of charcoal powder, banana, almond butter, cinnamon, coconut oil and coconut milk. It was delivered to my table in a tall glass and the smoothie was grey. Definitely not pleasing to the eye, but my taste bud were having a party, it was delicious. I also ordered the slow cooked lamb shoulder with roast veggies, another winner, flavour packed and presentation was spot on. I looked at all the home made sweets in their display fridge and it was a struggle to choose. (First world problem of course). The home made baked cheesecake was suggested. I'm not a fan of cheesecake full stop. It looked amazing and I bit the bullet and tried the baked cheesecake...... yum yum yum. Every time I put my fork into it there was a little burst of fruity surprise and the biscuit base was crunchy and dark golden brown and one of the finest I have tasted. Great work guys thank you...

The service at Umami is absolutely wonderful. They are kind and caring, asking questions about your travels. They even recognise you if you return.

Food at Umami is just a good as the service. I went with my grandparents yesterday for lunch and we all loved our meals. My grandmother and I had their burgers of which the buns were amazingly light and my grandfather had the salmon bruschetta which he greatly enjoyed. Today we went for breakfast. My grandmother and I had the waffles and my grandfather had the umami big breakfast. Everything was beautiful.

I must admit that the coffee here was also very good. I am one who usually adds sugar to my coffee but there, my mocha is beautifully made. My grandparents are also very fussy coffee drinkers and they loved the coffee here.

Overall this is an amazing place to go for good coffee, service and...

My husband and I heard great things about this place. We were in the area and thought we would treat ourselves for lunch. The menu looked amazing. One staff member was absolutely delightful but the other, not so much. We ordered the chicken burger and goodness bowl. For the price we were expecting something a lot bigger, especially the burger. The burger didn't have much flavour, and was pretty much like having a slider. The Goodness bowl, on the specials board, looked very dull. It did not look like each item was made fresh to serve. Despite the appearance the flavours worked, although both my husband and I both had unpleasant side effects later...
