Long St Cafe

Long St Cafe sits comfortably on Long St in Smithfield as a down-to-earth spot where locals grab their morning fix or a quick lunch that feels genuinely satisfying. This isn’t a place for lingering over fancy pour-overs, but rather a straightforward coffee stop with solid brews served alongside classic Aussie café fare.

The cafe’s vibe is casual and unpretentious, with enough seating inside for a relaxed break before the lunch rush hits. Weekday mornings are when you’ll find regulars popping in for reasonably priced coffees and breakfast combos like the bacon & egg roll with chips. By midday, things ramp up a bit with people swinging by for familiar comfort food — think homemade burgers, crispy chicken strips, and fresh rolls stacked with quality ingredients.

Long St Cafe works well for a quick solo catch-up or a simple group lunch, especially if you’re after friendly, no-fuss service from staff who know the rhythm of the street. It’s quiet if you arrive early enough, offering a low-key space to start the day or refuel during a work break without feeling rushed.
