The cafe and nearby retail shop make it easy to dine in or grab pastries and bread to take home.

About Jean-Pascal Patisserie

Jean-Pascal Patisserie is a French-style patisserie and bakery in New Town, Tasmania, run around the craft of Jean Pascal Lepretre, a fifth generation French National Pastry chef. It's really two places in one: a small cafe for sitting down, and a separate retail and takeaway shop a short walk along the road for taking loaves and pastries home.

Pies are what many people head here for. Locals rave about the buttery, flaky pastry, and we've heard the sausage rolls and a scallop pie get plenty of love from visitors who return within the same trip. A baguette sandwich packed generously with meat and cheese gets the same sort of praise, with value for money mentioned alongside it. Pastries, lemon tart, mille feuille and baguettes all come up when people talk about the cabinet, and the sourdough is a regular pick-up on the way out.

The cafe side serves breakfast, brunch and lunch, with hearty house-made dishes, good coffee and generous serves. Dine-in and takeaway are both on offer, there's outdoor seating, and the entrance, seating and car park are wheelchair accessible. Reservations are accepted, which helps given the room is small. One local calls it charming rather than cramped, and street parking nearby gets a thumbs up from the same crowd.

Cakes are a big part of the trade too. Custom orders are available, and one couple had a croquembouche tower made for their wedding, with easy delivery and helpful staff. Catering for events is available as well.

Staff come across as friendly and welcoming, though one visitor left unimpressed with the food and service on their visit. Most people who write about the place are happy with it, and long-time regulars are among them.

The shop and cafe are open most days but closed one day a week, so check the hours before heading in.
