  • What a wonderful little find. The best coffee we have had in SA so far. We also had the Bacon & Minestrone Soup which was delicious. Atmosphere was wonderful and warm with friendly staff. Highly encourage you to pop in.

  • We visited The Smelter in April on a rainy day after our Moonta Mines train ride was cancelled. The café was really busy—we waited about 15 minutes to be seated and around 45 minutes for the food, but it was well worth it. We had coffee, chicken waffles, and the big breakfast—everything was fresh, tasty, and satisfying. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, perfect for a slow morning. There’s street parking nearby. If you’re in the Copper Coast region, I’d highly recommend stopping by The Smelter!

  • Marvellous spot for a snack, pastry and coffee or a full sit down meal. Friendly and engaged staff, and the food and coffee is top tier. Picture of steak sourdough sandwich which for me was possibly the best in decades. And partners Avo and poached egg in sourdough. Also my lightly warmed salted caramel and white chocolate muffin which I refused to share with anyone - must try . Highly recommended. (And dog friendly outside)

  • Very very busy Cafe after New Year. It was full of customer but clearly not enough staff nor seat/table. Waited 30mins for food to come out. Other than that, food and drink was fantastic. The menu has a lot of choices too!

  • We didn't eat here as we were only in desperate need of a decent coffee. Travelling for days in the outback & just surviving on roadhouse brew, we really appreciated the coffee we received here. Good flavours, nothing elaborate, just a good, basic brew with pleasant service & cosy atmosphere.

  • We come here often for the best coffee in town and staff are super friendly plus it is dog friendly with an undercover outdoor area and water bowl. We recently tried out a pizza from the new pizza area open Thursday to Sunday evenings from 4pm ‘til late and couldn’t have been happier. Lovely crisp base and plenty of flavour and toppings.
