Friendly and fast service, great breakfast options for vegetarians and meat eaters, fresh Tasmanian products and a great coffee, served in 5 minutes and our meals arrived in 15. This is a little gem in Northern Suburbs.

I made a booking for 9 guests and all of them were amazed with how great this place is. Service was very efficient and welcoming. Food portions were satisfying, well presented and very tasty. I wish I had taken pictures of the dishes to show you.

Saint Hugo’s Café is basically a brunch paradise disguised as a cozy Montrose café. I went in expecting a nice, casual breakfast and came out feeling like I’d just attended a culinary talent show. I ordered the Eggs Benedict, and let me tell you — the poached eggs were so perfectly runny they could double as an abstract art installation. The hollandaise sauce? Smooth, buttery, and suspiciously good at solving all of life’s minor problems. My friends went all out too. One got the Spanish breakfast, which looked like a fiesta had exploded on their plate in the best possible way. Another went for the rice-and-egg dish — seriously, that thing deserved its own Instagram account. And the raspberry muffins? So ridiculously good, I briefly considered hiding one in my bag for later… but who am I kidding, I ate it immediately. The staff at Saint Hugo’s are amazing — friendly, helpful, and somehow able to manage the chaos of a busy café without breaking a sweat. The vibe is warm and welcoming, with both indoor and outdoor seating that makes it perfect for a long catch-up with friends or a solo coffee mission. The whole place has that effortless charm that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled upon a local secret, even though everyone who visits Hobart should really know about it. By the end of the meal, I was full, happy, and slightly obsessed with everything on the menu. Saint Hugo’s isn’t just breakfast or brunch — it’s a full-on experience, a celebration of perfectly cooked eggs, muffins that might be magical, and friends who judge you kindly when you steal half their plate. Verdict: Saint Hugo’s Café = heavenly food, cozy vibes, and an instant craving for a return visit. Bring your appetite, bring your camera, and maybe bring a friend to fight over the last muffin — it’s worth it

It’s is a good café worth visiting. I tried the coffee and French toast – the toast was crunchy yet buttery, with fruity toppings and just the right sweetness. The fairy floss on top added a nice touch. Staff were friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant, with outdoor seating available and pet-friendly options. They also have vegetarian and gluten-free choices plus daily specials. Not the very best in Hobart, but definitely a solid option if you’re nearby and looking for a relaxed spot for breakfast or brunch.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolute gem in Montrose! I’ve just moved to Montrose and I’m so grateful to have St Hugo Café as my new local. The food is absolutely sensational — always fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. The customer service is just as impressive: the team are always so lovely, attentive, and smiling, which really makes you feel welcome every time. Service is quick, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the venue itself is gorgeous — a charming old church that adds such a special touch to the whole experience. Thank God this place exists right around the corner — it’s quickly become my go-to spot in Montrose!

Saint Hugo's was the perfect venue to set us up for the last day of our Tasmanian travels. The setting is fabulous, the service was friendly and the food was reasonably priced for the portion size and quality. HU should definitely GO there!
