Mojo is very much your standard coffee shop, with not much setting it apart from franchise cafes, other than the fact it shares shop space with a record store and a hairdresser.

The latte I had was larger than it should have been (a bit of a trend in the north of Tasmania it seems) and resulted in a somewhat weak, generally inoffensive coffee.

Food was the standard fare, and service a little clunky with staff having trouble hearing over the music in the record store.

I was somewhat disappointed after reviews pegged this to be the best coffee in Hobart.

My first coffee, a latte, was not particularly well textured, and the coffee base cutting through with a bitterness indicative of either over extraction or machine needing a good back flush. Out of fairness I stayed for an espresso, which I had hoped would restore their reputation, but unfortunately was barely drinkable.

Aside from the lovely staff, this was a real disappointment. Hopefully I got them on an off day, but that's why these things are averaged I guess.

While not having amazing coffee, I felt like lounging here for most of the day.

Retro seems like more of a cafe for the locals than the tourist crowd that frequent this part of town, the decor is kitch, the staff have personalities, and the place has a very casual vibe.

The coffee, while reasonably textured isn't all that on the flavor side, having been somewhat over-extracted, but not heinously so.

If you're looking for coffee, there are a few other places nearby who will serve you better, but I'd happily spend an afternoon here unwinding.

A nice retreat from the busyness of markets on a Saturday, Dr. Coffee is a quiet, cosy, and mildly eclectic cafe with an obvious focus on coffee.

The COE Honduras on offer produced a sweet but rich espresso and was generally well poured.

Food on offer was simple but good, and the service was friendly if not a little brief.

All in all a good cafe with the style and substance of many a melbourne hole in the wall.
