Cinnamon and Cherry — Restaurant in Tasmania

Incredible quality brunch with a twist. Great friendly service. My new favourite brunch spot in Hobart surrounds. Definitely suited to lunch too.

Had the ‘Turkish Breakfast’ (vegetarian version) for $21 which seemed better value than most brunch spots considering the variety and quality of each item:

Simit (Turkish style bagel) was served fresh and hot. Beans were so good, a really delicious vegetable stock sort of flavour comes through and the texture was perfect balance between thick and thin. Beans perfectly cooked. The fetta was so creamy, but light, and stronger flavoured than your standard fetta. Olives were special - not much meat on them but very strong flavour and extremely tender. Jam very unique (not standard jam, big chunks). Butter very yummy, more flavoursome than the usual. There were a few other things served with it such as nuts, salad and a sweet tahini paste all of which were yummy too. Beautiful presentation.

The coffee (turkish kahve) was also very nice. Served very hot. Ordered medium sweet and spot on.

I also ordered two tarts - white chocolate cream, and hazelnut. All delicious and melt in your mouth.

I ate with someone who had a lamb borek and they said it was lovely with a yummy tahini sauce. They also had a lemonade which they adored (picky lemonade drinker). Someone else had some sort of tomato egg dish with bread and they loved it - sorry forgot the name of it!

Really nice space too.

There’s also a few toilets out back (so many places I’ve visited in Tasmania seem to have only one!) and all very clean and new which is nice.

Will definitely be coming back here. Well done to the owners and staff for maintaining such a high standard at...

So glad we had a recommendation for C&C prior to our most recent trip to Tassie! And even more glad that our passing through Franklin coincided with their opening times! This place is an absolute must! The only problem I had with it was deciding what to have!

We had wonderful pie and salad each, and took with us a pastry/sweet bite for the evening - I chose the rhubarb and custard style pie and it was hands down among the best pastry I’ve ever had - maybe on a par with my granny’s mince pies - if you’ve never experienced those, let me tell you - that’s saying something!

The owners are a delightful darling couple/family and the wife was so lovely in explaining all the flavours to us, and hubby is just a jolly good character. I loved watching him bop away in the kitchen while prepping some food, what a cheerful chap, and it was clear to see that nothing was too much bother for either of them which made us feel so welcome.

It is a beautiful space, fresh and clean, and my only disappointment was on our way back through on the Monday it was closed! We had been warned of this but all the same I looked just in case! ;)

Can’t wait for our next Tasmanian adventures (as is always the case!) and I truly hope this is a place that stays, it’s a total oasis and I know if it were around the corner from us here in Brisbane, I would be going everyday! I really hope we can try the eggs next time for brekky.

Special mention for the incredible coffee - Turkish coffee was on the menu also and was just amazing according to my love.

Many thanks to you both for a beautiful pit stop experience in Franklin and all the best for your...

Tasmanian country style at its best with a Turkish twist!

Wonderful cafe in Franklin in Tasmania's spectacular Huon Valley, a scenic 45 minute drive from state capital Hobart.

We had the zucchini/haloumi Borek (Turkish Yufka pastry parcel) & the lamb Borek with paprika butter & yoghurt, the raspberry tart with fresh cream & local fruit & the Moroccan tea served in colourful Moroccan glasses - all fresh, sensational & affordable with the Boreks at $10 each with a small salad garnish.
