About Plain Jane

Tucked away in the heart of Moonah, this café offers a calm and cosy spot for anyone looking to enjoy thoughtfully prepared breakfast or lunch in a relaxed setting. The vibe leans gently retro and welcoming, with a casual atmosphere that suits solo visitors tapping away on laptops as much as groups gathering for a weekend brunch. Wheelchair accessibility and ample free parking make it easy to visit, whether you’re popping in for a quick takeaway coffee or lingering over a leisurely meal.

The menu often draws people seeking wholesome, fresh options with a good balance of vegetarian and vegan-friendly dishes. Corn fritters topped with a poached egg and the warm porridge are common choices, alongside a variety of small plates and healthy bowls. Coffee is a central draw here—smooth, well-crafted, and complemented by a thoughtful tea selection. Whether you’re after a quiet morning fuel-up or a casual lunch break, there’s a genuine sense of care in the way food and drinks are served.

Those who appreciate a quietly trendy spot with friendly, attentive staff tend to enjoy spending time here. The blend of laid-back comfort with a touch of local character creates a space that feels like a good discovery rather than a bustling crowd magnet. It’s the kind of place locals return to for familiar flavours and a steady, welcoming atmosphere in Moonah’s evolving cafe scene.

Plain Jane Café – Moonah While on holiday in Hobart, we visited Plain Jane after a friends recommendation, and it didn’t disappoint! The café has a funky retro vibe that’s both welcoming and unique. The food was delicious and the coffee top notch. I especially loved the hot porridge, perfect for the chilly weather! If you haven’t been yet, put it on your list. A little gem worth checking out! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Awesome cafe, super friendly staff, serving delicious locally roasted coffee. Food is fresh, diverse and always so good. Janes beans and the tomato relish are tasty sodes and always feature on my plate. The highlight is one the most awesome/bizarre piece of artwork I've ever seen

Omg every time I come here the food is incredible, and staff are so welcoming and talented. Their hotcake is one of the most glorious things I have ever tasted would give more stars if I could.

Beautiful retro styled. We got the ham and cheese on their nice GF loaf. The relish was a nice touch. The porridge was such good comfort food and we were able to get it on almond milk. Would recommend!
