Incredible sandwiches - Edit
Spoilt for choice on the sandwiches and all of them looked great, the ones I ate tasted amazing as well. Nice that they’ve got some counters/fridges for take home meals as well.

SO GOOD! - Edit
Fully vegan deli with an amazing selection. Everything I‘ve tried there was so so good.
Read moreThey have really nice pastries, cake, cookies, a selection of vegan cheeses, frozen food like lasagne or pizzas, tiramisu, and so much more. One of my highlights is the yerba mate soda, which is hard to find!
I went back inside to get some pastries to take home after having lunch there one time, and they even gave me a 2 for 1 deal as they were closing up anyway. :)
Highly recommend
Pros: Friendly, Huge selection, Delicious

Fantastic - Edit
Old review below for the old location. Finally made it to the not-so-new-now location on Cambridge St and all I can say is vegan HEAVEN! Amazing space, amazing variety of food that is super delicious.

On a quiet side street off the main road, this deli was heaving with customers on a Saturday mid-afternoon. The Reuben sandwich was delicious as was the crumble slice. I'd love to go back and try more from the very extensive lunch list.

A no brainer vegan winner - Edit
Smith and deli is a no brainer option for any vegan in Melbourne. I’ve been going here for years back before they even had seating options. So many options at reasonable prices. The baked goods inventory is always to die for. Plus they sell lots of cute merch and take home grocery items.
Read morePros: Piggy Bundy Sandwich, Cinnamon and cardamon donught, Mouth watering baked goods
Cons: Can’t book a seat so can struggle on busy weekends, Often the music can be up far too loud.

My most favorite vegan cafe. - Edit
My favorite vegan cafe. This is a cafe I visit every time I go to Melbourne.
Read moreThe chocolate chai is the best drink I've ever had. (Lately, the spice has been weaker, but I'm looking forward to drinking spicy chocolate chai again🫶)
The food served changes depending on the time of day. Our favorites are egg martinze and scramble roll.
We will visit every day during our stay in Melbourne except on the days the shop is closed.
Thank you for opening early in the morning!

Did not disappoint! - Edit
Coming from Perth, I had heard about Smith and Deli for years before we finally got to go here. A Big Breakfast can be a hit or miss (especially the vegan ones) and I feel like it's one of those dishes I order and then regret, but not this one! It was really good, and I enjoyed every aspect of it. My Mum had a The Godfather toastie and also really liked it. We took away a couple of pastries for later which went down a treat.

As a Brisbanite I’d wanted to come here for years. And it was everything I’d hoped it would be haha.
Read moreThe best bacon & egg muffin I’ve had since going vegan, and the toasties were 10/10 delicious as well. Absolutely oozing with house made “meats”, cheeze and quality ingredients.

What a delight - Edit
I have taken the bus, train & tram all the way to Collingwood to go to Smith and Deli for the first time. Took me over an hour. I’ve just ordered a big breakfast and a hot chocolate something that I’ve wanted to do for ages. Both items were delivered to my table within 5 minutes of placing my order - that's impressive. I have had a vegan big breakfast before however what impressed me with this serving was that they included everything. as you can see from the photo it’s a full big breakfast with all the trimmings. I was particularly impressed with the bacon which at other places has been fairly limp. Where is this one was crispy and tasty. You can’t help but be impressed with the way that they seriously include everything to make your experience the best

I’m gonna have to say that the five-minute wait time is not typical in my (extensive) experience.

I think ‘iconic’ is mythologising a bit. It’s fine. I’d prefer it if it were actually vegan-owned.

Amazing - Edit
This place was a lot bigger than I expected, beautifully layed out with friendly staff and lots of funky vegan books and knick knacks. The menu was mind blowing, so many options, but the highlight was the pie floater. A vegan pie floater. Next level, do yourself a favour and drop in for a feed.
