Honey Badger Dessert Cafe

Last updated February 2026

Honey Badger Dessert Cafe is a dessert-focused cafe located in the heart of Battery Point's historic Salamanca Square precinct in Hobart. The venue combines sweet treats with a family-friendly atmosphere, positioned in one of Tasmania's most picturesque waterfront areas. Battery Point offers stunning harbor views and is surrounded by sandstone warehouses that now house galleries, cafes and boutique shops. The location puts families within walking distance of Salamanca Market on Saturdays and the Museum of Old and New Art ferry terminal. **What to Bring** Warm layers as Battery Point can be breezy off the harbor. Comfortable walking shoes for exploring the cobblestone streets. Cash for Salamanca Market if visiting on Saturday. **Best Age Range** Suitable for all ages, though older children and teens particularly enjoy the dessert menu options. Toddlers can be accommodated but the historic building may have limited space for prams. **Good to Know** Parking can be challenging in Salamanca Square, especially on Saturdays during market days. Street parking is metered during business hours. The historic Battery Point area involves some steep streets and steps. Indoor seating means weather is rarely an issue. **Nearby** Salamanca Market operates every Saturday morning just steps away with local crafts, food stalls and buskers. The Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) ferry departs from nearby Brooke Street Pier for a unique art experience. **Tips From Other Parents** Avoid Saturday mornings if you want a quieter experience as Salamanca Market draws large crowds. The historic streets around Battery Point are perfect for a post-dessert walk with harbor views. Book ahead on weekends as the compact space fills up quickly.
