Le Cafe

No matter where you find yourself, big town, city, suburb or small village, the plethora of cafes gives you no end of choice for seeking out the best coffee, pastry, muffin or preferred snack. My favourite spot in Launceston discovered some years ago is a bit out of the way, not in the centre of town, overlooking St Georges Square, a tree lined park bang in the middle of houses and shops. You can tell the clientele are mostly regulars, such is the easy nature of service from the staff. Some are in and out quickly, while others settle with a book or long chat with friends, checking out the artwork on the walls, lulled by unobtrusive French music in the background, soaking up the atmosphere in one of the tiniest cafes in town.
