Touchwood Cafe
A popular café on Stanley's main street, known for its "The Nut" scones with jam and cream, with a courtyard that looks out to sea.
Located at 31–33 Church Street, reached through a laneway. The courtyard seats have sea views. The café serves Genovese coffee and light bites such as local scallops and octopus. Its signature is a scone named after Stanley's landmark, The Nut, served with raspberry jam and Tasmanian cream, along with seasonal desserts such as Persian love cake. There are plenty of gluten-free options, and the café is licensed. It gets busy in the mornings and on weekends, so booking ahead is recommended. It's a good stop before or after climbing The Nut.
