Providence is more than just a café.
It’s a neighbourhood space for coffee, brunch, shared plates, music, art and community. By day, we serve quality coffee and comforting food made with fresh ingredients. After dark, the space transforms into a cosy neighbourhood bar with Asian fusion plates, live music, gatherings and events.
Over the years, Providence has also become home to local artists, musicians, workshops, performances and community events. We love supporting Tasmanian creatives while also sharing art, music and cultures from
around the world with our local community.
At the heart of everything we do is a simple idea: creating a warm and welcoming space where people can slow down, connect, share stories, and enjoy good food and good company together.
We’re always learning and evolving, so your feedback truly means a lot to us. If there’s ever anything you’d like to share, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
We hope you enjoy your time at Providence — every single visit.
