My favorite neighborhood cafe! The staff are super friendly, always welcoming, and up for a laugh. The juices and coffee are always on point, and the food is fresh and delicious every single time. Great selection of beer and wine too if you fancy it. Definitely treat yourself next time you're in the area!

Set back a few streets from the beach front but only a 2 min walk from tram stop 14 and clearly visible from the tram this is a great little cafe and perfect for a peaceful breakfast with seating inside and out. The coffee was good, as was the fresh fruit juice. The granola, yoghurt and fruit bowl was delicious.

What a find! A perfect spot to stop in for a coffee and feed before you hit glenelg if you’re on the bike path. The toasties are amazing and the fresh squeezed juices are top shelf. Excellent friendly staff and plenty of sesting indoors and outside.

Not only the best cafe in Adelaide, it’s the best cafe in AUSTRALIA. The staff are so attentive and friendly and the food and coffee are unreal. Not to be missed. If you fancy a takeaway they’ll pack it up for you so you can crack on with the day! Thanks Spellman’s for making this internationaaaaaal traveller a happy gal.

I often come here once or twice a week , there’s a nice relaxed atmosphere vibe here which is definitely missing down on Jetty Road . The coffee Spellmans use is Kindred Coffee ( they use the Milkman Blend for their milk brews - well rounded flavour ) Kindred Coffee is an Adelaide roastery which is quite unusual as most cafes serve Melbourne roasts . It has a slight sweetness that doesn’t need sugar- is one of my favourite brews to date and they do it well here . I often have a Bacon and egg breakfast roll which I have in a gf bun - I don’t know why it tastes so good here compared to other places but the bacon is always so flavourful and juicy . Really should try some other things , they often have gf cakes as well , but this roll is my guilty pleasure. The staff here are always pleasant and quite often happy to chat - almost like sitting a friend’s front room having a coffee . There are quite often families with children as well sipping their babychinos , so it’s a great place to come with kids if you have them . It’s not a fancy Instagram establishment all over TikTok - so many don’t live up to the hype ! But simple things done well is what you return for . Which is why I do .
