Hobart Mornings: Pollen Tea Room

We took a stroll through the quaint little suburb of Battery Point, where the Georgian-style houses, flourishing gardens and bakeries lie.

Nestled within this gorgeous suburb is The Pollen Tea Room. With its petit charm and delightful atmosphere,  the earthy tones of the Tea Room's interior match perfectly with the display of their very own range of teas and crockery. Their menu is boasting in wholesome, seasonal, but most of all delicious food and beverages. Most of which are gluten and dairy free; all of which are made in their very own kitchen. 

Sit by the window with a warm cup of chocolate chai, a pot of house-made tea, or an almond milk latte- sipping as you watch the happenings of Hampden Road go by. 

Alternatively, order yourself a deliciously wholesome breakfast or one of the treats on display... I have to say, their "power balls" look like they contain the ability within them to make you conquer the world. It would be hard to go wrong with one of them.

This was my breakfast of banana bread granola, activated buckwheat, and house-made coconut yoghurt, alongside Robbie's breakfast of baked eggs with avocado, dukkah, fresh coriander, and sourdough. What better way to start a sunny Saturday in Hobart?

A Trip to Mount Field

Only at a place like Mount Field can you wake up warm and cosy in your sleeping bag before stepping out onto the cold, wooden floor and quickly covering yourself in as many layers as you can find. All before looking out a tiny, fogged-up window to see that overnight, a layer of crisp, white snow covered the frozen lake and trees.

Sometimes it is very nice to know that today, your only responsibilities include breathing in the fresh air, exploring the lakes and the mountains, and ensuring that fire keeps on burning.
