If you love a proper, authentic breakfast, Samuel Pepys Cafe is the spot. We keep returning for the genuinely homemade food—flavoursome classics with generous portions—and the place oozes history with its quirky, cosy historic vibe. Staff are amazing: friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Just a heads-up: smoothies aren’t freshly made (they’re ready-made), which surprised us a bit. Also, it’s a touch more expensive than other local cafes—probably due to the 100% gluten-free focus and quality ingredients—but the delicious food more than makes up for it. Still highly recommend for a special, no-fuss brekkie in a charming setting. We’ll be back!

Overpriced and Underwhelming. On our last morning of our 9 days in Tassie we visited Samual Pepys as one of our group of 6 said she read it was the best breakie in Launnie. Dead wrong. All of the mains were $24 to $30 for your basic eggs on toast or smashed avocado. I ordered a pastrami sandwich on a bagel. The bagel was meh and the pastrami was a let down. The sandwich at $26 was a complete let down. I wish the owner had been to Carnegie Deli in NYC to experience the true meaning of pastrami. Anyways our breakie was about $60 per couple for a coffee and main which would have been fine if the food was great but it simply was not. The atmosphere is fine but if you are looking for the best breakie cafe in Launnie then I would look elsewhere… Note to owner - We did dine at another well know breakfast cafe chain in town and found their food to be both delicious and more reasonably priced. I hope my review might inspire you to do better rather than simply give you an opportunity to lash out at an unsatisfied customer....

I had the toastie it was cooked lovely. The ingredients I chose were were all fresh nice to have such a creative choice of fillings. My son chose the chicken and waffles, I had a taste of it, it was excellent (will try next time) my son has been here several time and is very impressed. Staff were all polite and very helpful. Would definitely recommend to friends.

As soon as we walked in, it was fairly quiet, we picked a table with 4 chairs downstairs. I picked it because I am recently just walking after several operations. The gentleman staff loudly said, table for 2, please sit here. So I had to pick my handbag, and pull back the chair I had pulled out and was about to sit after hobbling so slow in the street. I just wanted to sit down. He placed us in the corner with tiny table. One of our order was my chai latte with oat milk, he said they don't have oat milk, but offered almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk or normal milk. We said that I am allergic to almonds, and can't have soy products and coconut products (I didn't tell him I have thyroid cancer and going through treatment, and those milk, including normal milk is not allowed). So we said OK for normal milk. In the end I just drank 1/3 and left the rest. It was also a powder chai, not the leaf and spice chai I had hoped. The breakfast we ordered was OK. The poached eggs were overcooked. But tastewise, was good. It was just awkward to eat too because our table was so small, the two plates can't even fit as you can see in the picture (hence I had wanted to sit in a table with 4 chairs because the two plates will definitely fit). We didn't want to go upstairs due to my health condition (thankfully I left my mobility walker in the car or we won't fit at all). Anyhow, we ate our breakfast, chatting away about our day ahead. When we finished, as we were paying, my partner produced his debit card, while I pick my bag and wait for him, and the same gentleman asked, "paying together"? My partner said yes and we both felt odd and looked at each other. Anyway, he was chatting away, telling us to enjoy the day ahead. My partner asked if he knew whether there's a facility at Cataract Gorge where a wheelchair or mobility chair will be accommodated. We asked since we are not from Tasmania. He confidently said No, there wouldn't be any because of the chairlift. We said thanks and we left. Thank goodness we followed our instinct because to our great surprise, there is an elevator facility that stops to all levels at Cataract Gorge. So that is the reason why I am only giving this place 3 stars because of the gentleman who served us.

Magnificent food safe for Coeliac 100% gluten free, I was looking forward to it on return to Tassie and it exceeded my high expectations again. Service is perfect.
