Miss Jacqueline's Café & Restaurant

Miss Jacqueline's Cafe & Restaurant occupies a charming heritage building at the corner of Wright and Murray Streets, East Devonport, serving modern Australian and European breakfast and brunch. It sits a short drive from the Spirit of Tasmania terminal, which makes it a natural first or last meal around the ferry crossing. The menu runs from bruschetta and Japanese souffle pancakes to okonomiyaki and apple crepes.

The dog setup

Dogs join you in the outdoor alfresco seating out front on Wright Street; indoor dining stays dog-free. AI-Mode listings report puppyccinos on the menu for canine visitors, but bring your own water bowl to be safe, as bowls are not advertised. The building's old-world charm is best enjoyed outside anyway on a fine North West Coast morning.

Worth knowing

Hours are weekdays only: 6:30am to 2:30pm Monday to Friday, closed Saturdays and Sundays, so this is a weekday brunch stop rather than a weekend one. It is well rated for breakfast and brunch, and the cafe fills with ferry traffic at either end of the sailing schedule.

Getting there and parking

Street parking is available directly in front and on the adjacent streets, and the venue is an easy few minutes from the ferry terminal. If you are walking on board the ferry, it is a short trip by taxi or a longer walk from East Devonport.

Close by with the dogs

The section of East Devonport Beach running from Wright Street east towards Pardoe and Moorlands is a designated dog exercise area, though dogs are prohibited on the beach 9am to 8pm from 1 November to 31 March, so check the signage at each access point. The Mersey River foreshore pathways suit an on-lead stroll. Nearby, Lumen Coffee Lounge on Murray Street is another dog-friendly coffee stop, and Devonport Dog Park is a short drive away for an off-lead run.
