John Smith Cafe - Waterloo

Went on Sun for brunch, they ran out of pork that day, so didn't try their slow cooked pork(which should be delicious). Staff was very friendly, the food was good, but I think 4.5 is a bit overrated. Also, they have very limited choice of meat dishes(on the other hand good for vegans), you'll have to add-on bacon, salmon... and dishes with add-ons are a little bit expensive.

A cute little cafe with booths, a table bar and outside dining. I love the interior and how the sun hits the table bar, perfect in winter. For breakfast, I am usually one to order big, hot meals. But today, I ordered the chia seed pudding with berry compote, yoghurt and some fresh fruit. It was delicious and tasted so fresh. It looked appetising on the menu and even more beautiful when it arrived to our table. I can't wait to come back and try the rest of their menu!

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

Ordered the mushroom breakfast, I was so excited for the combinations of flavour but what I got was cold mushrooms on a burnt slice of rye toast covered in balsamic vinegar with hard poached eggs. My partner ordered poached eggs on toast with avocado on the side - he got hard poached eggs that were cooked but cold inside and 2 slices of bread, not toast and smashed avo with heaps of raw red onion in it. Who serves raw onion for breakfast?? There saving grace was the chai tea that I got...best I ever had

Went on a sunny day and sat near the windows. The atmosphere was really relaxing and ordered their weekly special, snow crab salad it was absolutely amazing with just the right amount of creaminess and fresh taste to cool down. Definitely added to a brunch regular roster for us.
