Although the menu is limited (focused), they are pretty good at what they do.
The coffee is easy to drink yet strong and the service is very friendly.
Food wise, the options they offer is quite standard, comprise of all day breakfast items and burgers.
They are generous in serving and cheap. We are very satisfied with the experience.
This cafe serves simple everyday brunch food which tastes surprisingly DELICIOUS. Try their Eggs Beni and you will not regret it. I would definitely come back here again!
Cute place. Good food (I got the avo and goats cheese and particularly liked the added pomegranate, chilli wasn’t too spicy either) and good ambience to study in. However there were no PowerPoints.
Great food, fantastic coffees, friendly attitude-free services. The location wasn’t the best as it’s facing busy road, however they compensate it with nice music and overlooking some greenery next door.
I have been here before maybe last year for takeaway coffee and brunch but nothing overly outstanding.
However, on my recent visit I left with a good impression. I had brunch and coffee here in 2 days in a row, it was that good!
Highly recommended, will happily come back, over and over!
When you’re after a heartfelt breakfast with a massive flavour punch....
You need to check out the Texan style slow cooked beef with pickles & bbq sauce plus of course 2 poached eggs. Super tender, juicy beef and little pickle surprises in every mouthful.
The pop of the little poached eggs are, to me, like a white ball of happiness. Especially when you see that gooey, soft yolk run all over the beautiful beef and change the flavour of the whole meal.
Double tap if you love a good yolk pop 😏

Mushroom toast was absolutely on point!- sauteed mushrooms paired with poached eggs, bit of goats cheese and well toasted sourdough- everything was well balanced. I’ll definitely be coming back to try the other dishes! :)
Back in 2015, I stumbled across John Smith and fell in love with a certain avocado on toast with goats cheese, chilli jam and a snowstorm of rainbow coloured edible flowers. Fast forward a few years and I’ve rediscovered this glorious little corner cafe, which is full of character and really (really) great food.
Excellent flavours, amazing food, great customer service! the prices are reasonable too! you guys should definitely advertise the truffle oil when you use it in your dishes!
Weekends mean breakfast and brunch catch ups! The green bowl is a healthy brunch option, makes you feel good on the inside. “Dukkah Eggs” - poached eggs, dukkah, burnt butter, caramelised onions, labneh, pomegranate, fresh herbs on toast. Such a pretty dish. John Smith is also known for the variety of “eggs benny” dishes, they did look pretty delicious, will need to order one for myself next time.
This was a bit of an emotional breakkie as it was my last one before I say goodbye to this lovely country. Went for breakkie all by myself - ordered for my favourite avo on toast and treated myself with a cinnamon pastry and a hot chocolate as always. The food was great and I loved it!
Service - 4/5
Food - 4.5/5
Ambience - 4/5
Value for Money - 4/5
I definitely want to go back to enjoy that perfectly rounded experience.
Upon arriving John Smith was full of patrons but it didn't take long for the staff to seat us at a booth. The staff were very pleasant and took our drink orders immediately allowing us time to pick our food choices from the menu. Hot and cold drinks came out in a few minutes and we happily placed.our order.
After chatting and taking the obligatory group photos our food came out. Someone got the wrong variation of their food and it was taken back to the kitchen - what I'm amazed at was that the dish that came back was not a scraped off version and was brand new.
The food was extremely vivid and tasted great. There was no single dish that stood out for me as they all tasted great. I was a big fan of my mushrooms. Poached eggs were cooked perfectly.
Amazing local cafe that really knows their stuff and serves up very delicious coffee. Good amount of space but does get busy on weekends and it is easy to see why! Friendly staff and good food as well make it a great place.
Loved the atmosphere in there.. ordered eggs Benedict, the toast wasn't very easy to cut (either because they had 2 toasts or the knife wasnt that sharp)... I would give it another try :)

We truly appreciate the coffee and loved the nice simple yet rich setting of western industrial with green natural infusion under the harmonious natural sun light. The service is more than you asked for and the barista is a professional
Great food and friendly staff. Very patient and recommend what’s on the menu. Good coffee and food.
Great cold brew - smooth and has a hint of a chocolate. Great atmosphere and polite staff. The feel is very rustic.
Outstanding coffee and food. I came, drank ate, bought beans, brought friends back, ate, drank and bought more beans! Their house roasted Columbian coffee is superb. Comfortable, great vibe, feels like a secret haunt, Frank the pug really wanted to come in!
