Tried their whole range of smoothies which was 🍊 Orange Reviver 🌱Green Detox ☕Coffee Boost and 🍓Berry Bright. They were all very tasty but our favourites was the Orange Reviver since we love mango & lime and Berry Bright!
For food, we ordered:
🍇🍌Antioxidant Acai Bowl
🥚🍳Huevos Sucios (Dirty Eggs)
🍅🌭Chorizo, Isles Have it All (similar to a big breakfast)
🧀🥑Halloumi and Avocado Waffle Rosti with some smoked Salmon.
All of them were presented beautifully and it was very delicious 🏵️ We could definitely see hints of the owners Mexican culture in the dishes which is a ➕
Good cafe in the city. Lots of seating. We were served quickly but our food took a while. Coffee and drinks came out first. We all ordered juice which was warm and would have been nice if it was chilled. Coffee was nice with the chocolate to stir through. All the Food for great except that the Eggs bene had a savoury waffle as the base which was hard (like stale) and lacked flavour. The Bacon & egg Buddy was uninviting and was literally just bacon and eggs in a bun. All the other things were delicious and tasty.
Came here for brunch with my friend and I had the 'Acai bowl' and she got the 'Bacon Buttie' which she found dry, bland and a bit tasteless but I thought my acai bowl was quite nice and the coconut yogurt was a nice contrast to the sweetness of the acai .Bit of an average cafe, probably wouldn't return too.
Came here for lunch and got the avocado haloumi rosti but replaced the avocado with egg as I don’t like avocado, at no extra cost. Really quick service but was probably because it was a late lunch around 2:30pm. Tasted pretty good too and it was a fairly nice place. By the cutlery holders need to be topped up more frequently. Heaps of them had no cutlery so I had to steal one from the next door table etc.
Had a lovely lunch here. We got the banana bacon pancakes and halloumi rosti. Both were very good. The pancakes were very fluffy and there was plenty of syrup.
The salad had lots of fresh ingredients and lathered in a generous amount of sauce.
Well priced and good sized meals. Got all your favourites for cheaper then your average cafe. Amazing hot chocolates and açai bowls! Service is efficient and effective without your food being trashy. A classic cafe with all the goods.
Business' name is the complete opposite of the business model. Poetic really. You can order a basic eggs on toast and it'll still make you cry. Tell your wallet to quit whining because damn, that wholegrain toast is probably what heaven is paved out of
Really friendly staff members, love going here on weekends for a coffee and some baked goods. Coffee is always delicious and fast to come to my table and cabinet foods are always fresh and taste amazing!!
One of the best eggs bene I have had to date! The bun they used was so soft and fresh. Place was decorated well, food came out quick and the hot choc was perfect with a chocolate bar in it. Awesome experience 😁
Great location and great vibe. Interiors are so cool, rustic and raw. Few selections of slices/sandwiches and to order meal. Ordered their limited edition Shaky Isles caramel slice and didn't regret it. Yum and moisty. Staff were busy maintaining the cleanliness of the store and were friendly. Prompt service is A+. Would like to try their sandwich next time....
A good cup of coffee in a trendy, airy setting. Plenty of space to sit and work when I visited but imagine it's busy during term time. Prices seem rather steep for a campus coffee when most customers will be students.
It was average. The Chai latte was very sweet. They missed one Flat white for us. I do like the atmosphere - bit artsy and casual. The price is however high for students.
Fabulous cafe with nice hot chocolate staff friendly too
Not a whole lot of food options but a nice and quaint place to eat and chill.
Lovely, if pricey, cafe. You're not going to find bargains here, except for their Budgie meal. The portion for the Budgie isn't very big, but it's big enough to be filling. Tasted decent. I've also had their piccolo and manuka mint tea, and both have been pretty good. It gets really crowded and quite loud here, so not the best atmosphere to study in. Their decorations are top-notch though.
Had a really nice passionfruit and carrot muffin :) Staff are super kind and speedy too!
A little bit tired now (understandably) but still serving great coffee in a vibrant, trendy setting. Especially nice during off-peak times of the year when it’s not super busy. Can’t comment much for the food though.
Great coffee !! and great customer service 😗
What a shame I can't give 6 stars! This is the University's flagship quality café, which is matched by a really groovey interior design and beyond friendly service. Whether you're landing a billion dollar deal or taking someone on a date, shaky isles is the place to go.
Lovely little cafe by the library, where you can fool yourself into believing that you live the life of a flaneur - deadlines, credits - you're above all that. While the cafe isn't exactly expensive, the portions served from their displayed food counter is not particularly value for money. Grabbing a coffee on the go or sitting down with a beer/hot chocolate while you read a book or send yet ANOTHER email to an employer may be a wiser choice. Come for the lush ambience, the soft music, and the happy faces at the counter - you'll be glad you did when you spend yet another all-nighter and question your life decisions later.
