Shingle Inn Brookside - Brisbane

The Shingle Inn cakes are still way ahead of every other cafe carrying the standard coffee shop fare.The decor may seem dated but that is the charm of Shingle Inn. The day they stop trying to be quaint I will stop going.The savoury food fills the spot, but it's their beautiful butter cake that I adore. The service is always friendly and as someone who orders their cakes regularly for special occasions, I will be back.

This is one place you can go, and always get the same great meal. We just had a toasted sandwich, but try their chicken, avocado and camembert. It is a little pricey for what it is, but well worth it. It's not too noisey being in the shopping centre, so you can still have a great chat. They have a good range to choose from, and their coffee's arent bag either!

Met a friend here for lunch. Quite a good selection of the usual cafe fare on offer. Not cheap. A trip down memory lane for customers from years ago.

A nice restaurant for lunch. A good selection to choose from. Whether you want a cup of tea or coffee with cakes or a sit down lunch you can find it all here.

Went to the Shingle Inn to celebrate a girfriend's birthday and to buy her lunch. I was so disappointed and wished I had gone somewhere else. You hear of all these great reviews about the Famous Shingle Inn and expect things to be great. The service at the cash register warm and friendly..it went downhill from there sadly. Our Chicken Schnitzel meal was dry, fried and overcooked. The accompanying Caesar Salad was a little weird...and the coffees overpriced. I wont be returning with so many other great surburban cafes to choose from. I really think you have to step it up a notch or change your name.
