Yeast doughnuts, done properly

Light, fluffy yeast-raised rings — never heavy or cakey — glazed, filled and finished by hand each morning. The lineup changes every week, so there's always a reason to come back.

The Story

A kid's wonderland in the Bank Arcade

The Circle of Life shopfront in the Bank Arcade, Liverpool Street, Hobart

Three years in the making — a dream by the team behind Pilgrim Coffee to build something bigger and a little weirder. The shop on Liverpool Street opened with cloud-and-sun murals painted on the roof by a local artist, a hot Nutella tap imported from Italy, and yeast doughnuts that are fluffy like clouds.

  • Light, fluffy yeast doughnuts — never heavy or cakey
  • A weekly lineup that rotates — always something new
  • Generous vegan options every single day
  • Specialty coffee with plant-milk options for every cup
