What a great relaxed little place! Excellent coffee, hot chocolate and the nicest freshest blueberry muffins and scrumptious brownie. A pleasant place to sit under the tree and enjoy morning tea.

More of a community hub than a coffee outlet. Friendly service and tasty coffee served from a water tank dressed up as a space ship. Dropping in is mandatory if you are staying nearby

Very nice and quiet area of Tasmania. The icrecream was delicious! The Goat milk icecreams is a must try, I was not expecting them. The price is affordable too.

We took a wrong turn in Hobart and ended up in the Huon Valley and beyond. Look for the Rocket at the End of the Road for a cuppa, Hot Chocolate or a Coffee. Friendly staff open in the season between September and March each year.

A magical spot for coffee, cake and a picnic by the creek.

If you are heading this far south, you must stop by. Rose was so friendly and makes a fantastic coffee and baked sweet treats. It seems like a community hub and has a great energy and vibe. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
