Why Choose Bread + Butter?

About Bread + Butter
If you're after a bakery in Launceston for breakfast or lunch, Bread + Butter on Elizabeth Street is worth a visit. It's a bakery and café in one: pastries and sourdough baked fresh daily using traditional methods and cultured butter, with coffee by Single O to go alongside.
The pastry cabinet is the main event. The chocolate walnut croissant is a standout, and the morning bun, flaky and soft with crisp edges and a cinnamon sugar coating, is equally good. The almond croissant gets praise for being crisp outside and not too sweet, and the pain au chocolat, savoury danish and cardamom pretzel have won over people who weren't expecting much. There's also bostock, banana bread, brownies and cookies if you're taking something away for later. A breakfast croissant filled with Tassie bacon and relish jam is enough to bring one visitor back a second time, and the sourdough with sardines has become a breakfast habit for another.
Beyond the baking, the café side is easy going. You can dine in, order takeaway or sit outside, and the space is bright with high ceilings and big windows. It's comfortable for families, with high chairs on hand, and there's a wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park. Vegetarian options are on the menu, along with brunch, lunch and dessert. One visitor noted it can run on the cool side inside, so a layer is sensible on a chilly morning.
Staff come up often as friendly and welcoming, which suits a place that feels so relaxed. One traveller was glad to find it open over the Christmas and New Year break, when most other cafés were shut, and ended up back three mornings running.
Locals tip heading in early, because the popular pastries can sell out. The hours run through the week, but it's worth checking before you go.
