Why Choose Shingle Inn North Lakes?
Shingle Inn North Lakes is a sit-down café-bakery in the shopping centre with comfy sofa seating and a strong reputation for breakfast, eggs benedict and scones are standouts. The coffee is consistently good and the service often friendly, though pricing on extras and consistency across the team can be mixed; worth checking the hours before you visit.
About Shingle Inn North Lakes
Shingle Inn North Lakes is the café-and-bakery branch of a chain that traces its roots to 1936, set inside the shopping centre in North Lakes, Queensland. It's a sit-down spot as much as a cake counter, with comfy sofa seating that suits a slow coffee or a long catch-up, plus high chairs and kids' colouring sheets for families.
Breakfast and brunch are the main draw. Eggs benedict is the dish people talk about most, and the scones, frittata and iced chai come up too. The cabinet is full of the traditional hand-made cakes and pastries the brand is known for, including the Patty Cakes, and a dessert-for-brunch visit is a perfectly respectable plan. Gluten-free options are available, and you can order custom cakes or arrange catering if you need something for an occasion.
You can dine in, take away or have it delivered. The entrance, seating and car park are wheelchair accessible, which makes it an easy one for mixed-ability groups.
Customers mention welcoming staff, and some single out the chef by name for the eggs benedict. Value is a common point too, with portions described as generous and prices in line with other cafés. We've also heard the odd grumble about waits when it gets busy, so allow a little extra time at peak brunch hours.
Opening hours run seven days a week, longer on weekends, but it's worth checking the hours before you head in. If you're a bakery regular passing through North Lakes, this is a reliable place to sit down for a coffee, something from the cabinet or a proper cooked breakfast.
