Cafe mondello does the best French toast I have ever had served with fresh berries, lemon curd & cream.. The coffee is really good and the other food excellent. Friendly helpful staff. Love it.
The hubby & I went there for brunch on new years day. Even though they were super busy, they still managed great service & delicious food. Would highly recommend �
Although not on the menu , I had a delicious vegan breakfast. Highly recommend it and thank you to the waitress Emily who was beyond helpful.
Valentines Day lunch was amazing! Baked beans, bacon, french toast all cooked perfectly. Coffee was delicious and even catered for something off menu. Thank-you!
The food and service was superb. Thoroughly recommend this gorgeous cafe.
Love this place!.. Breakfast is always yummy and Good coffee☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️👌👌👌👌👌👌👍
A place where you're made to feel like the most important person there, no matter how busy, all staff are impeccable with their friendly astute service. Food always spot on, coffee great. Treat yourself
Great customer service and fabulous coffee. No matter how busy the guys and girls are they always manage to have a quick chat.
May I say that this little cafe is amazing...we visited it with friends Sat arvo for a coffee and chat..and called back for take aways Sun morning before our trip home to Melbourne, the coffee is the best and the staff were lovely and friendly...we will be back

Of course we found this place through Zomato and they did not disappoint. Although a limited menu I opted to go rogue and ask for something off menu. Happily adapting to my request I eagerly awaited my lunch. It was amazing! I was concerned without the greens my request may have been unbalanced but it wasn’t. Not sure if any additional items were added to the Rosti but it was perfect. One of the best I have had! Combined with great customer service will definitely drop in every time I am in town.
Went there for breakfast after my husband recommended this place having been there about a year ago. We had the Eggs Benedict which was amazing, and the coffee is excellent. Really nice friendly service. Highly recommend.
The French toasts are very soft and go well with the cream, and the strawberries and blueberries sides are quite fresh. My friend have the Benedict eggs, sided with bacon and spinach, which are also of great taste. Love here and would come again.
Went here for breakfast on a Sunday
Quick service lovely staff
Got the mondello beans which were large white beans in tomato sauce on delicious sour dough and nice poached eggs
Very bland tasting however
Also got the French toast which came with a nice serving of strawberries cream and lemon curd but again very bland
Their dirty chai was nice
Portion sizes are large
Did not expect much from this place when I first stepped in, but I was glad to be proved wrong! I ordered the Marinated Halloumi which came alongside some spinach, harissa and toast. I really loved the freshness of all the components of the dish. The harissa was aromatic and the portobello was just bursting with flavour.
Both food and coffee were really good. Staff were lovely and the space was little and cozy. We wanted to share a plate and they kindly split our food in 2 separate plates.
Had breakfast here. Great coffee, friendly service, food was very good typical breakfast offerings (smashed advo with poached eggs for my partner, bacon and eggs for the fussy 12 year old and a delicious muffin for me). Sat outside, inside is small. Would visit again if I was in Launceston.
Very small cafe but staff were very friendly and outside area out the front is nice. Coffee was delicious and eggs and bacon were fab. Pricing is a little more on the expensive side but it was worth the extra couple of dollars
Quality! It Shouldnt Be That Hard! Love A Wonderful Mouth Full Of Wholesome FOOD!

THIS IS FOR A VEGAN PERSON the shop is non veg but will still look after you!!!!!!
I checked into my four to four boutique apartment at about 10 am on a Sunday afternoon and they said the room will be ready in 45 mins. So I decided I'll go grab breakfast, I walked to the corner and saw this really cute cafe. ( cafe Mondello)
I walked in and I asked the waiter near the counter if they had any vegan she said yes. So she took me over to the table that was the only table left at the time. Walked away grabbed me a bottle of water and said ( the chef said he is vegetarian he can make anything vegan for you!) so I said ok I'll leave it up to him surprise me. I also ordered a soy latte.
5-10 mins later she walks out with the plate full off food, it had mouth watering mushrooms it had home made bake beans and spinach and a avocado with hummus in it. On the side was a full of flavour sweet salsa! The vegan bread he had made was crunchy on the out side soft in the middle. It really blew me away! The soy latte was strong and so good! I had to order a second one! Polished off the whole big bottle of water the only thing that was left on my plate was one piece of bread because I was so full!
The staff are all friendly, polite the team works really well together, I ended up leaving a whole lot of coins for the waiters and called the chef over and said this is for you gave him a little tip and left! What a awesome experience from the moment I walked into the cafe! I can't wait to go back and I highly recommend his vegan breakfast. The only thing is I don't know if he works everyday but I'm sure if u ask if the vegetarian chef is on you will be in for a real treat
Coffee was the best in Launceston. food was tasty with a generous serving. Also prepared in good time so lunch wasn't chewed up waiting for my meal. Only downside was the menu was mainly breakfast choices.
The dishes was cooked and executed well but there was nothing really that wowed me in flavours. It was a nice small cafe I enjoyed but not a place I would be dying to go back to.
The food is Awesome - direct quote from our 8 year old. We ordered the eggs and bacon with smashed avo, the smashed avo with a side of their beans and the poached pear with granola - half serve for the kidlet - great option. Everything was delish - poached eggs cooked to perfection, baked beans were some of the best I have had anywhere and the gluten free bread was 5star!!!! Staff were super friendly and while small the space is inviting and we would recommend to anyone - Hubby even gave it 5 out of 5 and he is tough to please. Thanks for brunch guys much appreciated
Great service, from friendly staff. The quality of the fantastic and fresh breakfast was brilliant. To top it off the coffees were great as well. We will be back!
Had breakfast this morning, lovely and fresh.
The waitress was delightful.
The food was excellent, very tasty and fresh.
Eggs were cooked perfectly
Time slows down in Launceston. Everyone is so laid back and this shows, in a good way. You're not rush to order and the only downside is that food does take a bit longer than usual to arrive. However the more than gorgeous service and beautiful food makes up for the wait time. There's no fancy sounding or photogenic dish in sight but the taste, quality and simple beauty of all the ingredients mixed together creates a mouthwatering dish. Case in point - two simple dishes of eggs Atlantic and sardines on toast reached peak perfection due to the perfectly poached eggs, thick fluffy toast and fresh as smoked salmon. I usually don't finish all the toasts on my plate but I devoured all three slices this time. Just like the food, no latte arts to be found here. If only they didn't burnt the milk because the coffee had potential. I guess I shouldn't be complaining since I was happy stuffing my face with toasts.
This place was definitely nice, a very cosy spot that does get some very nice natural light
Good service and decent coffee with a menu that contains all the usual suspects
Absolutely delicious! A warm cosy environment, attentive staff, delicious food and coffee. A gorgeous little gem in Launceston. Try the homemade soup and the blondie!! I can't wait to come back.
Cute little cafe however the menu range was limited and items a bit more pricy than i would anticipate. Very small inside seating area means if you are unlucky you are stuck sitting outside- a problem on a cold winter morning, however the blankets provided were a nice touch. Coffee was run of the mill and quite pricey- 4.50 for a small is abnormal even in renowned Melbourne cafes. As for food, I ordered the smashed avo with poached eggs and dukkah. This was very tasty- the dukkah was delicious and the chutney provided was very nice. Only downside was the small portion for the price and our meals were not particularly quick to arrive (however when we stepped inside to pay and saw the very small size of the kitchen I could see why). Service was friendly though.
Great coffee & freshly squeezed OJ.
Eggs Benedict is perfect.
Great atmosphere, quietly buzzing along & the waitresses are lovely & friendly.
rightly highly rated cafe on Charles St. Very good food served out of a tiny kitchen, excellent coffee and faultless service. Go there. Accomodation out the back looks great too.
Glad this place opened on a public holiday during our travel in Launceston.
Coffee was great, seating indoor, but outdoor looks great with the beautiful weather.
Had the salmon egg benedicts, nothing to complain, it was lovely. saw so many people having takeaway coffees.

Really impressed by this cafe. I would consider it a 'sometimes' cafe as is quite expensive but it does deliver on taste, quality and service. The baked beans were fab as was the haloumi breakfast with an added poached egg. The coffee was Melbourne-esque in that it wasn't rubbish.
Fantastic cafe, so glad we stopped here! The staff are incredibly accommodating which is a nice change from most hospitality. The menu itself is great for breakfast, offering both sweet and savoury options. Eggs benedict, corn fritters, vanilla poached pears, French toast featuring lemon curd..they've got it all! We had the corn fritters with avocado and relish and added halmoui that was beautifully tender and melt in your mouth but crispy on the outside. The relish was nice and sweet and the fritters were abundant with fresh corn kernels.
My friend had the avocado smashed toast with dukkha which was well balanced and generous servings of avo smash.
All of our coffees were great and the outdoor setting with European chairs and tables and umbrellas were reminiscent of a Parisian cafe.
What a great place for breakfast. Friendly staff, good coffee and great food. Best of all was the best crispy bacon in Australia. Lots of chefs can cook good eggs but very few can do good crispy bacon. This man is the Maestro. Thanks Zomato for bringing us here.
A variety of breakfast options as opposed to the usual fan fair got my appeal and it did t let me down. Had the grilled haloumi and it was very very good. Popular by many and I can see why! Will be back next time I am in town!
Great cafe for brekky! We had the homemade baked beans, and smashed avo both with poached eggs. Generous serves washed down with excellent coffee. Yummy 😊😊
Absolutely great spot for breakfast in Launceston. Prices are really reasonable and the portion sizes generous. Coffee is great, and super excited to see a Tassie cafe serving Di Bella beans! Service staff are super friendly and efficient. Would certainly recommend and return next time we're in Tassie!
Great place to escape the rain and enjoy a meal!! The marinated haloumi with added avocado was so yum!! Definitely recommend it to anyone passing by!!!!
We had the avocado smash and the marinated haloumi with some coffees and everything was excellent! The staff were also really nice and helpful - great experience overall!
Our breakfast was fantastic; excellent food, service, portion and nice coffees. The prices are good for the quality and size of the meals. We will be back.
We loved everything here. Fantastic food, fantastic service....and the coffee was to die for. Will definitely be coming back next time we are in town
Wonderful! Really enjoyed the bruschetta. Thanks for the great lunch, coffee and for looking after my friend and I after she had travelled in from Burnie. A day well spent! :)
Nice ambience Simple, good .... Nice ambience
Simple, good food
Coffee was so so
For breakfast it was just awesome. Waitress was extremely friendly, nice background music, and early on a Sat morning sitting at corner table with the rising sun beaming in glorious.
The eggs Benedict with side of spinach and tomatoes with house made hollandaise spot on.
Only thing for me was the double shot could have been stronger - but I do favour a very rich coffee so I only had one and went somewhere else (very contented) for a second :)
Quaint cafe with great service. Breakfast was delicious. Recommending the house prepared baked beans with poached eggs (nice and runny with dark yolks) and a very good coffee.
Well done
Quality coffee. Probably the best coffee compared to aromas cafe, elaia
Best cafe in town!!!. Great cafe with delicious food and coffee. The staff are lovely- cannot fault their service! We came every morning during our stay in Launceston and would definitely recommend to everyone. Thanks cafe Mondello!
Great food and friendly staff.
The French toast was excellent.
Coffee was awesome as I expected, bread was fresh as they baked it themselves. The smoked salmon was beautiful.
Nice coffee and breakfast delightful. Friendly service and the baking of their own bread was a nice touch.
We had coffee, fresh orange juice, eggs benedict and marinated haliumi. Every thing was splendid - great customer service and fresh tasting food. Great coffee.
Great food, slightly over priced. Try the poached pears!! Amazing.
A good way to start the day. Came to Cafe Mondello after reading reviews and glad we did. The service was great from the moment we walked in. Decent coffee and we ordered the eggs benedict and smashed avocado and we were both quite happy with our meals. One of my poached eggs was slightly over cooked, but that was the worst of it. Plenty of avocado and goodness yummy!
The poached eggs on smashed avo, with dukkah, was described by my wife as "possibly best EVER!" & she'd know. The coffee was excellent too! Great place.
Best in Tassie. Oh where shall we begin with the praises? How about the fact that on our first visit we felt like welcomed regulars the service was so good. The food leaves us thinking about when we can visit next and this morning lead to us driving 100km off course to have breakie. SERIOUSLY!
We came to Launceston to see if we would like to live here. Mondellos made that a resounding YES!!!
It will be tough to hop on the plane home tomorrow.
All round great service, food and coffee
Excellent coffe, friendly staff and good service.
Need more seating!
At first glance, a little pricey given the size of the meal. But very tasty breakfast and friendly staff-would definitely come back :)
Went in for breakfast on a sunny Tuesday morning. Lots of people popping in and out for take away coffee and a few enjoying breakfast. The service was great and the coffee even better. We had the vanilla poached pears with honey but granola and the bacon and eggs. Both of which were delicious. If we weren't just passing through we would go back.
Eggs with salmon and fresh orange juice. Im from new Zealand and wish we had a cafe like this in my home town. Cafe mondello is a busy wee happening place. Eggs were cooked perfectly and orange juice was fresh and tasty. The staff were friendly and even charged my iPad. Recommend cafe mondello to all food lovers.
Awesome.. This cafe never lets you down. The food leaves other cafes in launceston for dead. The service is great at cafe mondello and great to see all staff with a smile. Keep up the good work . Excellent. I will be back again with my girlfriend.
Mondello is simply the best cafe we've found in Launceston. It is small, but uncompromising in respect of the quality of its food, coffee and service.
I was flabbergasted to read Adam Casey's negative review. It's true that it is not cheap (our brekky this morning was $55 for two), this is one care of getting what you pay for.
Magnific More Mondello!!. Urban Spoon rated it a high score in Launceston so had to check it! The place was so cute! Not many tables but scored a table outside. My friend was allergic to eggs so asked if there was something else they could have so the chef made up a cute little toastie on great bread so it was good for both of us! I enjoyed Eggs Benedict... first time I have ever had it... and won't be the last now! The minute I uploaded photos people were asking me where I was.. Cafe Mondello the food is beautiful the coffee is great and with the fresh air in a trendy part of Launceston you just have to visit :)
Nice breakfast in a beautiful setting, especially if you can get a seat out the front. Coffee is decent but nothing special.
Delicious! Great food, great service and they cater for gluten free. Very good experience, number one breakfast place in launceston.
As one of the few places open on new years day this place was packed, so no surprise the staff were super busy. But when I stopped in for coffee they were still surprisingly happy and jovial. The coffee was quite good so my wife and I went back for breakfast. Good coffee and the eggs were great! Worth a trip for breakfast and I'd go back again.
Really good. Very good coffee, breakfast was tasty. Mushrooms recommended. Busy little place. Worth the visit.
Good food, good coffee, great and friendly service!! Would come back again when we r next @ Launceston!!
My first review ever. Been looking for a breakfast place when I come to Launceston and at last I found one.
My favorite is eggs Benedict with crispy bacon and a good hot Latte.
Both done to perfection, good hot coffee and a delightful house made holandaise. I will be back.
Good, fast service. Solid coffee with bonsoy for the soy drinkers. Nice breakfast, probably needed more seasoning for my taste though. Menu is small but well done and reasonably priced. I would come back if in launceston again..

Good service breakfast needs to be a little better
Came here one afternoon and coffee was horrible. Decided to give it another chance because of reviews. Came for breakfast the next day and coffee was descent and breakfast yummy and good price!
Very happy 2nd time around.
Great Coffee & Service. Cafe Mondello is new, modern, comfortable and attractive. Outside at street level Al Fresco with umbrellas. The menu reflects the newness of the Cafe, with an attractive, well prepared, nicely presented range of breakfast brunch options. The coffee is Di Bella. We enjoyed a very well made coffee and fresh made orange cake and a florentine, in fact it was so appetising we had a repeat. This cafe has only been opened five months, and is already popular.
Brad's eggs benedict also looked disgustingly delicious, I mean look, those eggs are just drowning in that gorgeously glossy hollandaise. It makes the mouth water!
The people here were lovely. The coffee was nice aswell. The eggs Benedict with bacon was really good. Perfectly poached eggs, the bacon was well cooked and the bread was nicely toasted too. The mushroom toast however was amazing. The goat curd complimented the mushrooms deliciously, and to top it off, the tastiest halloumi I’ve had at a cafe in ages.
Great little spot with a good range of breakfast options. The mushroom and truffles on toast was spectacular. There are a range of vegetarian options that can be made vegan upon request. The eggs Florentine were also really tasty with what tasted like a homemade hollandaise. The quality was reflected in the price, only reason for 4 not 5 stars
Cafe Mondello, an oldie but a consistent goodie in the area.
My local for many years, and never a bad coffee.
The Chefs Paul and James are willing to accommodate any dietary requests or menu queries within reason.
Try the Poached Pears, or Black Beans dish for a flavour bomb!
From the moment we stepped into the premise, to leaving it, the experience has been amazing. Best coffee in Launceston hands down. The mushroom and feta were sublime- I’ve never tasted anything that good before. The corn fritters were delicious. The team were so incredibly friendly and accomodating, and loved that we could talk and hear ourselves because the background music was exactly that- in the background!
Great spot, good selection of food and best of all the coffee is GOOD!!
Came here for breakfast and asked for the French toast to share….our normal experience would be getting an extra fork maybe but these guys split the portion onto two plates like we were getting two meals. The vibe is great and loved their flourless orange cake, goes great with the roasted long black coffee flavour.
