Wilfred Smith - Essendon

This restaurant on the north side serves the best coffee, has unique and attractive decor, and offers exceptionally friendly service. The truffle eggs are absolutely delicious and worth trying.

Delicious breakfast with some fresh, unique twists will be back to try the lunch menu which looked amazing too!

My friend and I visited Wilfred Smith over the long weekend and my goodness it was completely worth it! <br/ 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!<br/ <br/ 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!<br/ <br/ 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.<br/ The ONLY improvement: the chairs need cushions :D<br/ <br/ Overall I was impressed with the customer service, we both thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the perfect coffee really was the cherry on top!<br/ <br/ Ps. Please don't forget the cushions hehe

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...

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.
