The Smelter

★ 4.3 / 5 (1749 reviews)

The Smelter cafe in Wallaroo offers a delightful experience for coffee lovers and those looking for a light lunch or brunch. The food is reasonably honest, with generous serving sizes and quick service. The venue is clean, and the staff are super friendly and efficient. Special mention goes to Dave's gluten-free fish and chips, which require a 30-minute notice but are worth the wait for a safe and delicious meal. The cafe opens early, making it a convenient breakfast spot, and their cold filtered iced coffee has been praised as the best around. Overall, The Smelter provides outstanding quality food and drinks at excellent prices, making it a must-visit place for anyone in the area.

Was gypsy jane at The Smelter a mag?
Stumbled across The Smelter while walking down the main streets of Wallaroo. Ordered coffee, vanilla slice, cauliflower salad and vegetable frittata. Drinks and food outstanding quality. Clean venue. Super friendly staff. Excellent prices. Advice … do not walk past. Pop in and treat yourself. You won’t be disappointed. View all feedback.

What Richard Parent dislikes about The Smelter:
This is a nice place for a coffee and the food is reasonably honest for a light lunch or brunch. Closes at 3pm which is a problem if you're staying around the area looking for afternoon tea. View all feedback.
