The online menu is not current so just check with the friendly staff if there is something in particular you are looking for (the pancakes were not available in Jan 2022). We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast which was of a high quality. The cafe is located on the edge of the beautiful City Park which provides a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere.

My family enjoyed a wonderful lunch at the City Park Cafe on our arrival to Launceston. The service was excellent, staff were friendly and we loved how the cafe was in a glass house. I had the warm salad with a green tea and the salad was delicious, my kids had ham and cheese croissants plus hot chips which were yummy and my hubby had the ham and Brie wrap and really enjoyed it. Great spot for a lovely lunch !!

Went for a lunch by myself, had an avocado, bacon and chicken with chili sauce toasty in partner with a premium beer. Sat outside on a spicy hot day, unfortunately though with some gusty light winds I over heard that the umbrellas couldn't be opened due to wind. Safe, but would have been nice. My toasty was amazing! Freshly cooked when it came out, good balance of ingredients and not too toasted. I wasn't cramped by other people and there was an option to go inside possibly if I had wanted to. Perfect place to sit, eat and chill before heading into the park for a stroll around. Once I had finished I grabbed a banana slice, that its self was a good snack. Looking forward to bringing the family next time and seeing some monkeys.

Gorgeous space and convenient location and seating arrangement. Prices are reasonable considering the setting. I've had excellent food and service here in the past. However, this morning I was very let down by my first coffee purchased here. I will be back again though to give it another try. Hopefully a more satisfying brew then.
