Cappuccino
Three eggs cheese omelette
long black

Cheers to David who drove the coffee to the maximum flavor. Cheese omelette was cheesy enough to make your tummy happy. And putting extra mushrooms inside the omelette makes the texture and taste twice better. Located in a quiet street aside from the busy main street of the north hobart, you can feel the calming vibe in here.

Suuuper expensive! Costs me a small fortune to have breakfast here but I can get exactly the same thing at Marigold Cafe, Born In Brunswick or Rain Check for half the price (literally - $48 at Prov, $24 at Raincheck).

Amazing atmosphere, live music, and delicious food. If you're visiting during the day, bring your study/work with you. The café is located just a few minutes walk from Elizabeth street, hence, street parking is available.

When a restaurant cares about your dietary restrictions.it’s a beautiful thing!

Thank you Providence Cafe for a beautifully prepared breakfast.

The coffee was the most burnt coffee I have ever had and the egg and bacon Turkish sandwich was dry and boring. Really disappointed, bad start to my day. It was an Uber eats order so maybe it’s better when you dine in however I am still a paying customer, you should put the same amount of love into every coffee and every dish. Do better.

Providence is a great stop for a coffee and a light bite to eat. It's well priced and coffee is very consistent. I wouldn't hesitate to go here again and do on a regular occasion.

Cool cafe with a lovely courtyard. Great food and coffee. I am sure it is a local favourite but for us it was a great find.

I've been here a number of times and it is quite consistent. Good food and great coffee. Only problem, they don't always get the order right! Lol.

Very good coffee, eggs benny were a bit odd - for one the eggs should be runny. Yes, I have eggs benny opinions!

Good vibe, plenty of choice, but when busy, everyone is too close. Impossible to have a private discussion

Aggressive impatient impolite mean staff. A restaurant only focus on making money not people.

I'm an ubereats driver and got 2orders near the store at the same time today. This is just my part-time, I'm patient and never go rush. I went the desk and staff said 2orders are not ready. So all I did was standing the front, smile, and said nothing but wait 10mins.
Then customer A asked me from App "did my order ready, I have waited nearly 1 hour". I was amazed, because I never had such a order assigned. So I smiled, and asked staff did the order A finished.
The order A is a small order, bread with a coffee. Then the berista put a cup of coffe in to the ordera bag and says it's ready. So I was waiting for order B then.

After the order A was just finished 1 minute, and waitress then blame me so loud in front of full house of customers: "We have finished this order 30-40mins ago, why you pick 2 orders from the app? You should take only one order and finish it. This is your problem, not ours. I will tell the customer, this is Uber driver's problem. Not us. " I was blushes.
Serious? U just put in a coffee into order A's bag, and u say u finish 30mins ago?btw, the 2orders was assigned to me at the same time, and I'm confused.so I did nothing but smile and say: " I'm all ok. It's just because the customer is asking me the time. "
I felt so embarrassed because I warm-hearted say "there are customer behind you waiting for paying the bill". And the waitress still blame on me and yell in front everyone to me, "No, I need to finish this Uber driver's problem. "

We Ubereat driver can tell nothing from App but the wage and roughly distance when we take the order. I explained with smiles. But still harshly blame.

What's even worse, they give me a thumb down review on Uber App. And customerA gave me a thumb down due to the unhappy ordering experience. Truly speaking, why you so mean?My smile face is all the time, my patient is all the time, but you gave me a thumb down?

This is the worse staff I ever seen in my life. I not sure the problem happens in your app end or your kitchen, but I'm just a driver follow the app instruction. All I did was take 2orders, waited 10mins, friendly asked time, being blamed in front of full house of customer. I was one who really confused what's going on here.

Let me tell you how ubereats run, the Uber system will assign the order to the nearest driver once the order is or about to finish. If there's no driver nearby. System will give order to driver who is more remote. Which means, If the order is processd on time on kitchen, it will be delivered on time. So which means you blamed your delay problem on me. And also let customer blame on me. This is really inhumane.

I'm so sad today. If I were a girl, I will definitely feel depression. My driver rate just fall to 88% from 92% all because of you. Take back your fake smile, because your smile is only built for ppl who pay you money. Your smile gonna be my nightmare. Please watch the CCTV so you can tell how Pathetic staff is, how humble I was. Shame on you.

Came for live Jazz. Music amazing, however as a place, not very organized for these events. I’d booked the tickets in advance, though the place was overbooked therefore, very uncomfortable. We had to leave unfortunately.

Good coffee and food from a hidden gem cafe in the backstreets. Seemed a little slow with the food service but we were in a bit of a hurry so this could have skewed our judgement. It was delicious when it arrived though.

A lovely coffee shop just off the busy North Hobrtr strip. Coffee is great and the cakes are yummy.

Awesome place! Attentive and courteous staff, quick service, delicious food, and overall great vibe. The coffee was a bit watery and bland hence the 4 star rating!
