Why are we here?

Well... the short and thick of it is that we love our community and everything we do at Relish! We proudly support local people and local producers.

The word "Relish" means "great enjoyment" and in championing this meaning, we've built a brand and nurtured this humble meeting place into a busy suburban cafe. We're serving great honest food with big flavour and good coffee, all with a service aspect that will make you feel warm and welcome and it's why so many people keep coming back.

Relish has been built on this philosophy, and this is just one of the reasons that we keep opening our doors to you every day.

A do it yourself attitude.

The team at Relish takes great pride in making nearly everything that we offer our guests right here in the café kitchen.

  • Brioche, brioche rolls/buns, white bread, bagels, fruit toast, and banana bread.

  • All the delicious cakes displayed in the cake cabinet, including our much loved Lemon Tart and our decadent GF caramel slice.

  • Happy morsels of our own salted caramel popcorn grace the teaspoon alongside each hot beverage served to you in the cafe.

  • Our kiss biscuits are a bit of a favourite for our smaller (and big) guests to enjoy. Guess what? You can even buy the same kiss biscuits in our store!

  • If you love kimchi, you'll be delighted to learn we ferment, burp and love our very own recipe.

  • Lamb shoulders are slowly braised overnight for our menu in a house-made masterstock that we keep using and building. It's the secret to the amazing flavour.

  • Real chicken breast is lovingly roasted here in our café, as well as our own pork belly with its devine crackling.

Of course, we don't make our free-range eggs (we leave that to the professionals), and the sourdough can't get better than our local artisan loaves from Bread + Butter, which you'll find teamed with a number of our favourite dishes.

We absolutely love what we do. It takes extra time and care to deliver a product that's enjoyed in a partnership with personable service. This is the reason our guests keep coming back, which is always our goal — we want to see you again! 

We're fully licensed and have a refined, exciting list of mostly Tasmanian Wines. We also stock Tasmanian cider, local and international beers, cocktails and mixed drinks, and we freshly squeeze our orange juice.

Unlike many cafés, we take pride in being family-friendly. Your little cherubs will be happy to learn there's even a kid's menu for the less adventurous spirits.

 

We value sustainability.

We've implemented a cup swap system in the cafe with Green Caffeen, which costs you nothing and enables you to leave with a re-useable coffee cup for your takeaway brew. Next time you're in, simply swap it out for another clean cup with your order.
We also welcome you to bring your own keep cup in for us to fill it with your drink of choice.

We use stainless steel straws in the cafe and for takeaway food and drinks, we use bio sugar cane compostable bowls and clams, and paper straws.

We use local fresh produce where we can to limit food miles and we offer our used coffee grinds to guests to use in their garden or as compost and we support local growers, farmers and businesses daily. Would you like some? Talk to us when you visit or get in touch here.
