A new family-owned cafe has opened its doors in Hobart, excited to welcome the community into its warm space and share its unique menu of mixed cuisine.

After over a year in the making, Lazy Brunch is breaking into Hobart’s foodie scene with a range of food that spices up traditional Australian food with Asian styles along with delicious coffee.

“I can’t express how excited we are,” Public relations Michael Lam said, “To give our vision and what we have in our package to show our community and tourists.”

Mr Lam said they wanted to bring the cafe to bring elegance to Hobart’s beautiful and natural feeling to really fit in with the culture and give an “Outgoing, warm and welcoming home life space.”

The must-try dishes include bibimbap a traditional dish from Korea, crispy chicken waffle which mixes sweet and savoury, and the popular grab-and-go cream cheese bagel infused with Tasmanian honey.

With vegan options on offer, Mr Lam said they also plan to expand their menu, with food from other Asian cultures such as Thai, Vietnamese, and even Hong Kong to create a fresh new experience.

“We see the demand from the community where a fusion of cuisine is really needed,” Mr Lam said.

The name Lazy Brunch rolls off the tongue and was named so because they wanted to create a “cosy and comfortable atmosphere,” Supervisor Sharon Lam said.

The Lam family moved from Hong Kong about six years ago and have fallen in love with Tasmania since.

“We really like the Australian culture, it’s very cosy, chill, very happy, and you can just talk and express your feelings,” Miss Lam said.

Visit Lazy Brunch at 279A Argyle Street.
