Jackman & Mcross Bakery - Hobart

Delicious baked as if we were in paris! jackman and mcross bakery had the most incredible selection of cakes and baked pastries that our decision was quite difficult. to be honest, we were probably a little ambitious with how much we could eat, but when they saw that good his to tempt, not try! we had the simple cruciate (the largest I have ever seen!, chocolate croissant and sun-dried tomatoes and goat cheese danish. all were appalling, buttery and flaky. sitting on a table outside, devoting a croissant while sleeping on a coffee was the best way to finish our tassie journey!

This time we visit our good friends living in tassie, launceston. on the first day we drove almost 2 hours from launceston to hobart. the clear and scenery in tasmania were simply amazing, we call it “Little new Zealand”. Anyway, we went to one of our favorite breakfast places in new town, jackman mcross bakery. they can also enjoy this caffe in cbd, but it would be very busy! the mood and atmosphere were cozy and comfortable; we ordered “Scallop, wakame and leek” cake for $8.00 although it is expensive, they served a great torte and generous filling of skalopps. the cake was crispy and crispy from the outside; it was also perfectly baked. the scallops were...read more

The opposite is picturesque and enchanting. eating is hit and miss. coffee was okay, a little weak. Gruyere cheese and choro roll was ok and pretty small. the charalate was a confused mix of sweet and Greek salad that had no taste. the hands down biggest disappointment was the tasty looking nuts, caramel and chocolate hedgehog slice. be warned, someone in the kitchen has emptied an empty last car salt worth in this dish, which makes it unusable. it wasn't clear until we drove down the street, or that would have been a return. place is in order, they stay on the cake.

Really poor quality bakery do yourself a favour and keep going down the road to the magnificent Sweet Envy, which Hobart is very lucky to have, or head to Pigeon Hole etc for bread. Hobart is spoiled for choice with wonderful pastry shops and bread suppliers. Had a tasteless piece of cake at around $7 and a terrible 'sourdough ' at $5.80 tasted like woolworths bread with a massively inflated price tag, just the vaguest hint of sourdough and obviously not handled as sourdough should be, poor quality flour and went hard as a rock in a day. Don 't waste your money here. Kudos to the serving staff though, who are great just a shame...read more

Unimpressed. All the food looked great in the cabinets, but breakfast meals were precooked then reheated when ordered. Some eggs fine, but others overcooked. Some meat boiling hot, other cold and toast luke warm. Certainly a way to ruin good food.
