About Banjo’s Bakery Café - Launceston
Banjo's Bakery Café in Launceston is the big, bright bakery café a lot of locals head to for a proper pie and a decent coffee. It's a franchise outlet, and the tagline "great food, made fresh each day" fits what's on the counter: breads baked on the premises, savouries, donuts, cakes and handmade treats, plus breakfast items and drinks.
The pies are what people keep returning to. The curried scallop pie gets a particular mention from regulars who've been coming for years, and one visitor found the crust good and the filling generous with scallops, even if the flavour wasn't quite to their own taste. Egg and bacon, sausage rolls and chunky beef options sit alongside them, and sandwiches get a nod for tasting fresh. Not everything lands for everyone. One person wasn't taken with a butter cream donut, and another thought the coffee was just alright, but the savouries are clearly the main draw.
The staff come up often. Locals single out particular team members by name for friendly, quick service, from the chai lattes to a hot chocolate one regular makes a weekly trip for. The place is spacious, with plenty of seats and not much waiting around, which makes it an easy stop for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Visitors on the way to the airport also find it handy.
You can dine in, grab takeaway or have it delivered, and in-store pick-up is available. They also take custom cake orders and do catering, so it's worth asking at the counter if you're planning something bigger. Card and mobile payments are accepted, and there's a wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park. The hours run long, starting early in the morning and finishing in the evening, though it's worth checking before you go, especially on public holidays, when one visitor was caught out by a surcharge they didn't expect.

What Customers Say on Google
“Everything is freshly baked daily. Has a full menu of pies, savouries, sweets, etc. The atmosphere is warm, modern and welcoming.”
“I've been coming to Banjo's for several years now, and I honestly don't think I've ever had customer service as lovely as I did yesterday.”
“Best pies in town hands down! Being a stout lacto-vegetarian, I am allowed dairy but not egg, poultry, meat, fish, crustacea etc. I specifically asked what hadn't any of these ingredients, and was thereafter offered a small but tasty selection.”
