Zest - The Library Cafe - Hobart

I enjoyed a coffee with a toasted slice of banana bread and cinnamon toast, both with butter. They were delicious, and the coffee was fresh and hot. The prices were very reasonable for a city cafe. The service was excellent, as the gentleman made suggestions and helped me decide. He was smiling, patient, and friendly. I couldn't have asked for anything more.

I always enjoy stopping by this place for a coffee, smoothie, or snack before going to the Hobart library next door. The owner and staff are always friendly.

This is my favorite lunch spot in Hobart. The service is fast and friendly, the owner always remembers me and greets me with a hello. I really enjoy the lunch specials, especially when they have gnocchi on the menu. I always make sure to meet a friend for lunch whenever I see it on offer!

I have eaten here before and had a positive experience but this time the place seemed tired and dated and not so clean. I ordered a caramel slice with coffee and it was stale and stodgy.

Central location in the State Library building (known by the ridiculous name of LINC, in case you have trouble finding it!) The guv'nor is nearly always on hand to welcome you, the coffee is good, as is the food, and the atmosphere is, to coin a phrase, classy zappy.
