Lovely little cafe set inside the front of an old house. They have made good use of the space that they have. Really would have like to have tasted their coffee, but they were having water issues at the time :( The meals we ordered were super delicious though, so we will have to make the effort back to hopefully enjoy the coffee too.

My friend and I visited Wilfred Smith over the long weekend and my goodness it was completely worth it!
I ordered the Chia Granola Pudding, it had pink pear, fresh strawberries and mango puree delicately placed on top of toasted muesli and chia seed pudding. Honestly, it doesnt seem or look like much in the bowl but in this case looks are indeed deceiving!

My friend ordered the Salmon Waffles. There were two small waffles under a generous serving of salmon, served with fresh pesto. The plating of the dish was amazing! They used so many colours in their garnish and again, although it looked small my friend said it was really filling!

I will also commend them for their coffee, it was perfect and even the latte art was amazing! The staff were lovely, our waitress was happy to have a conversation with us when we initially arrived and even as we were leaving, they asked us how everything was and if there were any improvements they could make.
The ONLY improvement: the chairs need cushions :D

Overall I was impressed with the customer service, we both thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the perfect coffee really was the cherry on top!

Ps. Please don't forget the cushions hehe

So glad to have stumbled on this fantastic cafe. The coffee is great (Humble Harry beans), staff are friendly, service is fantastic and I loved sitting at the bench just watching the world go by while enjoying a great piccolo. Definately coming back to have a bite to eat next time.

A great local stop in.

Small courtyard frontage with more dining inside. Staff are welcoming and attentive with breakfast or lunch dishes being full flavoured and delicious.

Coffee is good and consistent which is always key in the local area.

We will soon be hearing more and more about these guys as they deliver scrumptious treats to us all

Came here for a spot of lunch, found very Englishy options including a Ploughmans with an accompanying craft beer. Unfortunately it was a menu error and they don't have their licence yet, but the Ploughmans was still pretty awesome. Good coffee and friendly prompt service, we will definitely be back...

What a surprise to find duck okonomiyaki (Japanese omlette) on the menu of a little suburban cafe - 2 of us tried it and it was devine ! Really impressed - as we have tried a number of okonomiyaki variations years ago when travelling in Hokkaido Japan. Our other friend tried the baked eggs with salmon which he enjoyed. Equally impressed with the nice touch of the fresh cucumber and mint infused still drinking water on our table - very refreshing and tastee - don't mind if I do at home now.

Wildred Smith used to be my regular breakfast cafe before I moved house so it had been a couple of months since I had been. Upon returning I so happy to see that it was still the amazing cafe it always had been. They menu has been updated and updated well! With classic menu items well modified and new items too hard to choose between! Safe to say I will be returning to Wilfred Smith again shortly with so many new and improved breakfast and lunch choices as well as their always amazing donut selection! Oh, and coffee as good as ever with my favourite friendly barista.

The Chef catered to my request. The staff is awesome and friendly. They have great coffee and single origin coffee. Some organic ingredients on menu. Great spot. I go there regularly although I'm a cafe hopper. They got my attention!

We came here this morning and the food was fantastic. I ordered a triple shot large latte with a brioche French toast with honeycomb, mascarpone and maple syrup. It was a great breakfast dish with well balanced flavours, not overly sweet and fresh. Highly recommend trying this place!

I've just come from the Wilfred Smith and I have to the say it was a joy. Firstly, the coffee was bang on and served with a smile - always a plus. I then ordered myself the gammon with bubble and squeak and I must say, it was exquisite! Lovely, friendly staff and a chilled out vibe. I will be hitting the place up again very soon. Cheers guys!

My favourite coffee in Essendon and surrounding areas. Always order a Magic with a two-cheese toastie and they never disappoint (I recommend a crack of pepper on top). Staff are welcoming, courteous and professional. Do not expect to be judged for not having a beard, tattoos, piercings and labelless clothing. This gem is no Seven Seeds and is better for it!

Best coffee around that area hands down. You can really taste the true flavours of the roast and definitely not the excess milk you find at other cafes.

Great service, food and coffee. Their donut dessert also goes really well with the coffee when you're feeling a little puckish.
