Dropped in to Fresh for lunch on our last day in Launceston, after hearing good things from a few locals. The front was closed, but the back section was open - filled with uni students, a couple of families with small kids and an elderly couple, all looking equally at home in the very casual arty/boho setting. Service was prompt... More

Fresh is such a little gem in Launceston. The decor is really funky, the staff are nice and the food is amazing which is why its always so busy. The menu is full of tasty healthy treats that make you feel good just while your eating them. Its vegetarian but I would be surprised if even the most ardent meat... More

Fresh has everything - great food, great atmosphere, great location. My husband is a huge carnivore but doesn't miss the meat in their tasty meals. We often frequent for all day breakfast - their corn bread is to die for, as is their blueberry smoothie. Also do great taster plates for lunch or dinner where you can try a bit... More

this place is having some kind of identity crisis and trying very hard to be cool and thats about it; the only 'scene' it is creating is with its average menu and tepid coffee... More

This place is very popular. I'd tried to get a table more than once only to be told that it was full or that they were running out of food. I finally forgot about breakfast and had an early dinner one evening. The decor is op-shop style eclectic with mismatched retro style furniture. The venue would not seem out of... More

My husband and I are not vegetarians but we enjoy creative, tasty food and this cafe will not disappoint. The menu is diverse and thoughtful and a lot of creativity has gone into putting it together. We enjoyed an amazing fruit salad that was like nothing I have had before. We will be going back here on the way back... More

We visit fresh quite regularly, love the meal combinations, the all day breakfast, although last time I ordered eggs they weren't cooked! Coffee is great! Some of the staff members are rude when ordering and paying for meals but this doesn't deter us from going, More

I love this cafe. Every time I go to Launceston I go there, and whether solo, with buddies or clients, it is consistently good. Fresh is what I would call old school, so for anyone who went to cafes in inner city Sydney in the 90's, this is nostalgic overload. The decor is eclectic and 60's esque, the building a... More
