Daci & Daci Bakers is a charming European-style cafe that offer some of the tastiest and most reasonably priced bakery and pastry treats in the CBD. It is definitely worth a visit when you are in Hobart.

Cake selection - Difficult for the indecisive
If you after a beautiful artisan-style breakfast, you will not be disappointed here. Daci's menu offers a good selection of delicate and delicious-looking European-style pastries and elaborate brunch dishes.
We came in for breakfast and we were overwhelmed with choices. It took us a long time to decide on our orders because everything in the display cabinets looked amazing delicious.
Honestly, it was worth the visit just to gaze at the display cabinet full of freshly daily-made filled baguettes and rolls.
Excellent morning coffee!
My cousin ordered the Vegetarian Focaccia ($12) and it was lavishly filled with spinach, roast pumpkin, a thick-slice feta cheese, chargrilled eggplant, roasted capsicum, basil and marinated olives.
Vegetarian Focaccia $12
The fillings in the Vegetarian Focaccia were generous and the Mediterranean flavour was distinctive and wonderful.
We could not resist the Roast pumpkin tart ($15) which was filled with thyme, caramelised onion, goat's cheese and walnut.
Roast pumpkin tart $15
The pastry for this tart was crispy, flaky and buttery which complemented the luscious sweet roast pumpkin filling nicely. When eating-in, a healthy side salad is included for good measure.
Scrambled egg, dill, smoked salmon & caramelised onion on brioche bun $14.00
Now, this was a sensational-looking breakfast dish, and the surprise, was actually inside the smoked salmon dome.
When I cut through the smoked salmon parcel, there was a generous serving of scrambled egg fused with dill and caramelised onion hidden inside.The brioche bun was soft and toasty and complemented the smoked salmon scramble egg so beautifully.
From the moment I walked in, the stacked Croque Monsieurs immediately caught my attention.
Croque Monsieur $15
This Croque Monsieur ($15) looked so tempting with alluring fillings of prosciutto, Gruyere cheese and Béchamel sauce in between two crusty breads. It was properly pan-grilled in butter and the taste was so heavenly. I devoured it with full pleasure.
Rosewater & pistachio meringue $6
When we bid our goodbyes, we could not resist the special house-made jumbo rosewater & pistachio meringue ($6). They looked so spectacular special, we just had to get some for the road.
Start the morning with a breakfast feast
The price was very reasonable for the quality of the food we received. The service and atmosphere are authentic and warm. We really enjoyed a pleasant morning here at Daci.
A visit to Hobart isn't compete without a visit to Daci for their honest, delicious food served in a laidback setting.
