About King Of The Castle Cafe

Tucked just off Pakington Street, this airy converted warehouse serves inventive, globally influenced daytime fare under high skylights. Regulars gravitate toward the house-made potato hash and Thai-spiced eggs, washed down with a rich flat white while the morning sun cuts across wide timber tables. Between the breezy industrial layout and accommodating floor staff, it handles everything from pram-heavy parent catchups to sprawling birthday spreads without feeling jammed. Plates range from chilli tofu scrambles to golden chicken and bacon waffles, alongside morning staples loaded with grilled mushrooms and avocado.

  • Sunlit Industrial Space: High ceilings, oversized skylights, and generous table spacing keep group gatherings and prams comfortable.
  • Globally Minded Brunch: All-day options span Thai-style eggs, spicy tofu scrambles, and stacked chicken and bacon waffles.
  • Transit Fuel Stop: A convenient morning refuel point for travelers rolling off the early Spirit of Tasmania ferry.

Signature all-day brunch dishes praised by visitors

  • King's Breakfast

    I had the King’s Breakfast from their all-day breakfast menu for lunch and swapped poached eggs for fried sunny side up—great choice! 🍳🥑 The eggs were cooked to perfection with deliciously runny yolks. Crispy bacon 🥓, juicy grilled tomatoes 🍅, creamy avocado slices 🥑, sautéed mushrooms 🍄, and flavourful baked beans rounded out this satisfying dish.

  • Chicken & Bacon Waffle

    We also loved the Chicken & Bacon Waffle. It was crispy on the outside, soft inside, and the combo of sweet waffle with salty chicken and bacon worked so well.
