Yummmm and so much choice - Edit
It was my first time here and I loved it! I got a soy chai and I loved that you could adjust the sweetness when ordering! I also got the Reuben sandwich which was soooo good! Really big portion too. The canteen was closed when I went but I would love to try it next time. Really nice vibes
Read morePros: Lots of options, Lots of seating indoors and outdoors, Can adjust sweetness of chai
Cons: Kinda pricey

Vegan sandwiches - Edit
Had the Wigham (tofu based), was very nice as a treat. The new location is much better, plenty of space to dine and browse. Lovely building.

All around delicious! - Edit
We have been here for morning tea and lunch and the food is always delicious. The pastries are incredible and as a long-term vegan I am thrilled to be able to eat pastries and vanilla slice again! The hot and iced chocolates are good, and the lunch selections were great with generous portion sizes for a reasonable price.
Read morePros: Range, Helpful staff, Range of take-home meals as well

Awesome buffet style lunch - Edit
Fantastic value for money, food is sensational and we loved the venue.
Read moreA main and two sides was $20.
The place has an awesome deli takeaway offering heaps of vegan deli style stuff and heaps of merch.
Definitely recommend for lunch, I would recommend eating in though and getting the lunch deal for $20 rather than just a toastie to go

I see what all the fuss is about! - Edit
I've wanted to come here for the longest time. I didn't have time to dine in so I grabbed some lunch on the go. I had the sausage roll and a cinnamon doughnut and grabbed a couple of things from the store for cooking at home. Everything about the sausage roll ($8) was on point!! The smell, the flakey pastry, the herbs and spices, the texture and the generous portion 🥰
Read moreThe doughnut was so fresh and moist and not overly sweet. It was also a good size for $5.
I need to go back and eat more! ♡♡♡

Good, but not great. - Edit
Product does not match price. Good food, but in light of all the online praise have found the food disappointing and atmosphere to be elitist and pretentious.

Great little cafe shop - Edit
Very well marketed to attract vegan and non vegans. Good selection of grocery items including mock cheeses and premade toasties aswell as pastries etc. We got "All the things" brand cheese with crackers, and toasted salami samdwich with pickles and vegan cream cheese melted as well as mock chicken with lettuce and creamy sauce on roll all very impressive. Had hoped to take home some housemade mock meats but none available. Croissants looked nice but plain so would need to buy with added fillings toasted. Very expensive as expected for location and name.
Read morePros: All vegan, Best toasties ever!, Attracts non vegans aswell
Cons: Expensive

Not as good as original location - Edit
The highlights for us were the iced chai and the ham, cheese and truffle sandwich. Croque monsieur was very dense and chewy. The egg Martinez (bacon and egg muffin) was a real let down. Very stingy on the bacon and just bland. Queues used to be out the door and people would literally sit in the gutter to eat. New place doesn’t have the same vibe.

Unique vegan experience - Edit
Both Smith & Daughters and the deli have positioned themselves as a premium vegan offering with a plethora of vegan junk food and meat substitutes.
Read moreSuffice to say this comes out in the arrogance of their staff and their overpriced menu. There are better options in the area.

Huge store, loads of variety - Edit
Took me about 15 minutes to decide what to eat! In the end I went for the lunch box, with a fantastic turkey sandwich, beetroot salad and a great donut. I could go back here at least 20 times to try different things (vegemite scrolls! Meat pies!).
Read moreEdit July 2022: new set up and location. Would definitely choose the sandwiches and salads over the hot food, which I found quite salty. Loved the cheese vegemite scroll. Great variety of deli foods.

Shadow of its former self - Edit
If you hadn’t ever been to the previous S&D maybe this will still be impressive, but sadly the quality is greatly diminished. The bread is no longer very good, which brings the whole sandwich down. …may not sound like a big deal, but sandwich lovers and people who have been prior to the new place will get it. Would recommend hot options in the “pie cabinet” over the cold options.

💞vegan deli💓💓💓💗💕💞💘 - Edit
Smith&Deli is rated so highly on like every Melbourne vegan guide so was a little disappointed w/ my experience (probs just bc of my high expectations)..waited like 30min (there was no line at the deli) for a sandwich that was way too expensive and not good..i got gf bread and it was way too dry, not enough toppings/spread:///// However, everyone working was very lovely and I only tried a couple things on the menu…the whole deli seems amazing as well as the little grocery options they have💝

Bland, cold & rubbery - Edit
Waited 30 mins for our English breakfast to be completed with the missing items as promised, then the chefs change their mind and a portion of our good never came. Very boring, tasteless breakfast and exhorbitant prices. Hash browns are obviously frozen packaged ones. Stay clear!
