Book NowAbout Smith & Deli
Shannon Martinez’s Collingwood mothership pulls off plant-based deli classics with zero compromise. The room buzzes with Melbourne tempo—shared tables, natural light, and glass cases packed with hefty sangas like the Gabagool and Schnitts Creek. Diners routinely steer non-vegan friends here just to watch their doubts crumble over towering hot pastrami toasties and crisp, layered almond croissants. The retail shelves let you raid the larder for frozen shepherd’s pies, specialty mock meats, and cultured vegan cheeses. Coffee holds its own alongside rich s’mores hot chocolates, while the bakery counter turns out pillowy cardamom doughnuts dusted to perfection.
- All-Vegan Deli Counter: Plant-based takes on pastrami toasties, Schnitts Creek sandwiches, and hearty mock-meat specials.
- Dedicated Pastry Program: Laminated almond croissants, danishes, and cardamom doughnuts baked daily.
- Hybrid Grocer & Provisions: Retail fridges and shelves stocked with take-home frozen meals, vegan cheeses, and specialty condiments.

The integrated grocery and freezer section offers house-made ready meals like shepherd's pie alongside boutique provisions to take home.

Georgie Seamless Dining for Non-Vegan Companions
The hearty textures and authentic deli profiles ensure omnivorous friends and family leave completely satisfied.
The menu is fully vegan but so tasty you could bring non-vegan friends and they’d never miss a thing.
Mark Kentwell Crowd-Pleasing Flavors for Family and Friends
Familiar, crowd-pleasing brunch classics allow mixed dining groups to share sandwiches and pastries without compromise.
Family (non vegan) didn't realise they were eating a plant based croque monsieur until I reminded them everything was vegan.

Other favorites
Decadent plant-based bakery sweets, specialty drinks, and sides to accompany your deli meal.
Cardamom doughnut
the cardamom doughnut was so good, the texture needs to be tried to be believed, so soft, and cardamom flavor is very very subtle, which was lovely
Vegowego Vanilla custard slice
The desserts are next level: vanilla custard slice, chocolate croissants, donuts, caramel popcorn, baked cheesecake, and that red velvet with cream… unforgettable.

i love their decadent drinks (like the s'mores hot choc!)

Before you head over
Tips on timing, menu navigation, and portion sizes for your visit
Arrive early to beat sellouts
Arrive ahead of the midday rush, especially on weekends; lines form before noon and popular sandwich varieties can sell out quickly.
Expect a fully plant-based deli
Every dish, pastry, and grocery item is 100% plant-based, making it an easy pick for vegan diners or anyone sharing a meal with non-vegan companions.
Prepare for generous portions
Portions for sandwiches and sweets like the vanilla slice are substantial, making them ideal to split if you plan to sample multiple menu items.
