The Little Poet - Hobart

Was recommended by two vegan friends for their cakes…but I began with the truffle oil pasta with artichokes. It was beyond delicious! A friend with he got Taiwanese sesame paste cold noodle their comment was “Very healthy and healthy tasty snack”. Went back later the same day with two friends and had the berry crepe cake, which I’ve seen made plenty of times on YouTube but never made myself…was great to try, fresh and creamy. Friends got (1) brew chai with almond milk and maple syrup and said “Good proper brew chai”, (2) a Sesame iced latte which was “Refreshing and perfect” and (3) a Lemon macaron, which they said “It delightfully tasted of nuttelex”. Good time had by all and I love the best coffee cups!!

Never had a chicken and waffle before, I am glad that the first one was vegan and amazing!!

A good variety on the menu of vegan meals. Good coffee

I had a big breakfast and the Taiwanese pancake both of which were nice with the Taiwanese pancake being the star (make sure to ask for vegan and add extras if you want). To echo others, I was keen to try the cakes but seemed expensive for what they were. Overall I really liked it but found the menu a bit confusing, like when something was or wasn't vegan but still a great option in Hobart! The mugs were also really cute for the chai latte so would recommend that

Righto. So the space is kinda nice. Coffee range was good, and they cared about specifying between vegan and egg or milk options. However, the food is exactly what you could make in 5 minutes given access to Coles veg section and a sandwich press. That's not terrible if you're travelling and miss the comfort of a home cooked toastie or a V2 schnitzel with a bag of 4 leaf lettuce. But the price sure stings given you're probably familiar with all the ingredients. In the end it was exactly fine, not bad but not excellent. If they had longer opening hours I might bump it to 4 stars for convenience, but for now it'll stay a basic 3. Oh also the matcha cookie was horrible.
