A few words from Samuel Pepys Cafe
Locals love us. Visitors stumble in and then wish they lived closer.
Perched proudly on the Paris end of George Street, Samuel Pepys Café is Launceston's gluten-free institution – where dietary restrictions meet their delicious demise. For over a decade, we've been serving up good vibes, exceptional coffee, and food that even the gluten lovers drool over.
Step inside and you'll find an eclectic vintage hideaway brimming with charm, character, and the irresistible aroma of freshly ground beans. Whether you're basking under the trees out front, dining at a table upstairs, or soaking up the sunshine under the pergola out back, you'll feel like you've landed somewhere between your nan's house and your coolest friend's hangout.
Our menu? It doesn't believe in labels (other than gluten-free). Breakfast all day? Obviously on a Sunday. Cakes and slices so good you'll forget they're "free-from"? You bet. Whether you're tucking into slow-cooked smoky beans with poached eggs or diving fork-first into pan-fried calamari with a zesty Asian salad, you'll find flavour that's bold, fresh, and unapologetically fun – just like us.
Samuel Pepys Café: come for the coffee, stay for the sass. We're not Launceston's best-kept secret – we're its favourite habit.
