Pear Tree Cafe

Tasmania


During the cooler months, locals drop into this cafe in the general store to enjoy a coffee and simple snacks and yarn with the friendly owners. The action ramps up considerably in summer, when the courtyard opens and holidaymakers enjoy pizzas ($12), pastas ($18), wine and beer. There's also occasional live music at this time.
