Since opening their light-filled doors more than ten years ago, Hobartians and visitors alike have flocked to Pigeon Whole Bakers. It’s not just for their morning buns either – although these flaky, buttery delights are the stuff of legends – but for their quality coffee. The gaggle of patrons waiting outside for their names to be called and their Villino Coffee to be handed through the window is a testament to the quality of the coffee here. Love what Pigeon Whole Bakers do? Take it home with a bag of their rotating coffee collaborations with Villino Coffee – past numbers have featured notes of mandarin, rhubarb and blackcurrant. A pack of frozen croissants wouldn’t go astray either, to make your Saturday morning at home that much sweeter, of course.
Time Out tip: Pigeon Whole Bakers mostly operate as a takeaway haunt, but a few hot property windowside seats are an ideal spot for people-watching if you’re lucky enough to nab one.
