Make a Day of It at Blue Social Launceston
When winter rolls into Launceston, the days take on a new kind of magic. The air feels crisp, the scarves come out, and suddenly a walk around the neighbourhood feels like a proper adventure. There’s something about Tasmania’s winter that makes you want to linger outdoors just long enough to feel your cheeks flush before heading somewhere cosy for a hot drink or a hearty meal. And the best bit? You can make a day of it by pairing your stroll with a visit to Blue Social Launceston.
Start With a Winter Walk
Nothing clears the head quite like a chilly walk on a bright winter’s day. Heritage Forest, with its winding tracks and leafy views, is the perfect spot to stretch your legs and take in the natural beauty of Launceston. Whether you’re an early riser who loves the quiet of the morning or someone who prefers an afternoon wander before dinner, this patch of green is a local favourite for a reason.
Dog owners will be especially pleased to know there’s an off-leash dog park nearby, making it easy for your furry friend to join in on the outing. A good run for them, some fresh air for you, and the promise of a warm seat at Blue Social afterwards – it’s a win for everyone.
The best part? After all that activity, you’ve more than earned a pit stop. And that’s where Blue Social comes in.
Cosy Up at Blue Social
At Blue Social, we know exactly what you’re craving after a brisk walk in the winter air. There’s nothing quite like wrapping your hands around a steaming mug of coffee or a rich hot chocolate topped with marshmallows while the cold fades away. Our menu is designed to comfort, with hearty plates that warm you from the inside out and fresh, local flavours that remind you why Tassie produce is some of the best in the world.
Winter dining here is about more than just food – it’s about atmosphere. Inside, the buzz of conversation and the inviting smell of good food makes it easy to settle in. For those who prefer to stay outdoors, we’ve got blankets at the ready so you can keep cosy while still soaking up the crisp air. Either way, Blue Social is a place where time slows down, meals stretch longer, and winter feels a little less chilly.
Puppy Love – Four Paws Welcome
One of the things our regulars love most about Blue Social Launceston is that it’s as dog-friendly as it is people-friendly. Our outdoor seating is always pup-ready, with water bowls, blankets, and yes – our famous puppaccinos.
Dogs aren’t just welcome here; they’re part of the fun. Want an honest review of our puppaccinos? Just ask Rolo, one of our four-legged VIPs who gives them a solid four paws up every time. For dog lovers, it’s a simple joy – sipping a latte while your pup enjoys their own treat, all while sitting in the heart of Launceston.
We’ve created a space where bringing your dog along isn’t just tolerated – it’s encouraged. So, next time you’re planning a family meal or a catch-up with friends, don’t leave your furry mate behind.
Sniff Out the Menu
Of course, the heart of Blue Social is our food. Our menu is packed with seasonal dishes and modern favourites, ranging from nourishing bowls to pizzas that hit the spot on a cold evening. We love keeping things fresh and vibrant, using as much local produce as we can get our hands on. It’s our way of celebrating Tasmanian growers and producers while serving up food that tastes just as good as it looks.
If you’re here for brunch, expect everything from fluffy pancakes to loaded toasts and hearty egg dishes. For lunch and dinner, there are generous salads, share plates, and pizzas perfect for groups. And of course, no visit is complete without dessert – indulgent slices, sweet treats, and specials that change with the seasons.
Pair your meal with a Tasmanian wine, a local beer, or one of our carefully crafted cocktails, and you’ve got yourself the perfect end to your outing.
Make It a Tradition
Winter in Launceston is the perfect time to start new traditions. Whether it’s a Sunday morning walk followed by brunch, a weekday catch-up over coffee, or a Friday night family dinner, Blue Social makes it easy to turn the everyday into something special.
Our pup-friendly seating, relaxed vibes, and menus that offer something for everyone mean there’s always a reason to return. It’s the kind of place where locals gather, tourists feel welcome, and memories are made – one hot drink, one shared plate, and one wagging tail at a time.
So, leash up the dog, grab your beanie, and make a day of it. The walk will do you good, the laughs will keep you warm, and the food at Blue Social will seal the deal.
