The Spirit of Maria Cafe — Restaurant in Tasmania

This is a bakery cafe across from the IGA in Triabunna, just 3-4 minute walk down to the Maria Island Ferry check-in centre and jetty. There are a few indoor seats but seems most just do take-away here. Hours are 7.30am to 3pm daily.

There is a good selection of sandwiches, pies and cake slices, perfect for lunches to take over to Maria Island. I tried the pesto chicken sandwich which was packed well and tasted just fine. Coffee servered wasn't great, tasted burnt & weak unfortunately.

Would gladly stop by here for a quick morning bite if leaving Triabunna early or seeking take-away lunch for Maria...

Staff are very warm and very knowledgeable of the area. Very attentive as well. Little did I know you can buy east coast cruise tickets here who run cruises to Maria Island. Didn't get to Maria or Bruny but a must for the next time I visit. Camped out at Triabanna on my outward journey to Hobart as Hobart accommodation sold out at Easter but time well spent reviewing the myriads of brochures I've collected on Tasmania and semi planning next trip. Lovely local place to leave your well earned dough! Lovely to see such accomplished and warmly hospitable service!! Would definately stop here for munchies...

Stopped here for a coffee, its very close to the A3 but most importantly the coffee was great Ordered a large latte, coffee shops usually stuff up these large coffees which end up being just warm milk, but this place got it perfect. Did not eat anything but the foccia sandwiches looked very fresh Will definitely stop on the way back Update - stopped on the way back got a regular sized latte, the bearded wonder that made the original not there so served by a different person (still freindly) but the coffee was disappointing, just the dreaded warm milk coffee. Oh well, I still wish them...
