The indie coffee shops along Rooke Street's pedestrian section are the best reason to linger in Devonport. Several cafes occupy the strip, most of them doing good espresso-based drinks alongside pastries and light food. The atmosphere is relaxed and unhurried — the right place to kill an hour between the ferry docking and getting on the road. Tasmanians have developed a genuine café culture, and even a small city like Devonport takes the coffee seriously.
