A true taste of Stanley showcasing the region’s exceptional local produce

Sharni brings a true taste of Stanley to the table, showcasing the region’s exceptional local produce—think tender octopus, sweet scallops straight from the sea, and a bounty of fresh Tassie ingredients that celebrate the island’s rich culinary heritage.

Our fully licensed cafe offers Genovese quality coffee and a menu that’s as vibrant and varied as Tasmania itself. From indulgent breakfasts and wholesome lunches to elegant morning and afternoon teas, each dish is crafted with care and creativity.

Vegetarian and gluten-free guests are well looked after, with thoughtful options that never compromise on flavour. Our seasonal menu keeps things fresh and exciting, blending specialty creations with well-loved favourites that locals and visitors return for again and again.

And don’t miss our in-house baked treats—an irresistible selection of gourmet cakes, buttery scones, delicate slices, and fruit-laden tarts, all made from scratch and perfect for pairing with your coffee or tea of choice.

 

During peak holiday seasons, the café transforms for intimate dinner service, offering a unique evening menu in a cozy, relaxed atmosphere. Bookings are essential for dinner.

And when the weather is just perfect Angel's Aisle opens up for outdoor dining amongst the water fountain, gardens, Angels and under the warm sun.

Whether you're after a quick bite, a long lazy lunch, wanting to hold an event onsite, or eat a sweet treat to remember, Touchwood Café located onsite in Angel's Aisle serves up a feast for the senses—Tasmanian-style.

Restaurant Guru Winner!

Touchwood Cafe won Restaurant Guru Best Cafe in Stanley for 2019.

Local Favourites

A must for the locals and tourists alike are our very own ‘The Nut’ scones because they are as big as the monolith itself. Served with locally made raspberry jam just like Grandma’s, and freshly whipped Tasmanian cream “No Nuts but according to Google…..”The best scones in Tasmania”.

Our much sought after Raspberry and Blueberry Buttermilk muffins with drunken berry sauce and cream are also a huge favourite. Add one of our renowned quality coffees or a smooth hot chocolate made with our very own homemade chocolate vanilla sauce and guess what, you’ll be back for more. Just ask the locals.
