Unfortunately, this was a terrible place for lunch. Here’s why:
Customer Service: The staff at the front were more focused on chatting than assisting customers. They walked past us multiple times without even making eye contact
Excessive Wait: We waited over 30 minutes for our food to arrive.
Misleading Menu: The menu photos were completely deceptive. What we received looked nothing like what was advertised. When we asked about the missing mango in our dish, the staff claimed it was “in the sauce.” After requesting fresh mango, the girl reluctantly brought out a tiny amount and dropped it on the table without saying a word. It’s not even fresh cut fruit but canned fruit.
Ridiculous.

It used to be a good chain but the quality of food just isn't there anymore heaps small Cafe can do better. Small serving, dirty table, plain flavour
Unfortunately our order of 3 coffees arrived only warm. l then had to wait while another flat white oat milk was made 12 mins later on. We’d 2-30pm Coffee Luke warm and the others had to wait
Staff very busy chatting between each other
Heads up management may take some time in refreshing efficiency and customer service
Thankyou

Ordered smashed avo on toast and a latte. Toast came very quickly- one measly slice of toast. Get much better in independent local cafes. Finished my food and coffee still hadn't arrived. Spoke with sweet, young waitress who brought coffee quickly. Pretty poor quality coffee but it was hot. Needs better management and quality products.
Terrible.. in the morning I ordered tiramisu cake at this cafe and unfortunately found a small piece of plastic while eating it. At first, I thought it was just something hard, but upon closer inspection, I realized it was plastic. I’m really disappointed, and it raises concerns about safety.
I was looking forward to enjoying a delicious dessert, so this experience was quite upsetting. I hope you can pay more attention to food quality and safety in the future.

Let me tell you….
Breakfast it’s my favourite meal of the day, I would eat eggs, gluten free bread, bacon and tomato relish all day long…: we started badly from reading the menu, it’s quite difficult to understand when you read “lightly gluten” seriously you either cater gluten free bread or not, if one owns a cafe at a large shopping centre the least you can do it’s provide gluten free alternatives for coeliacs. Honestly this was the most boring, tasteless breakfast I’ve ever had, miniature toasted slices of bread, my poached eggs were almost hard, bacon was too crispy and the tomato relish was the worst if you cannot make a decent relish it becomes a tomato sauce. I also ordered black tea, since there was no sugar available on the table I asked one of the waitress’s not knowing she the sugar police, she gave me one little sachet of sugar and when I requested more she returned with one more, as I have a big pot of tea I had to get up and bring sugar by myself. Honestly for the price and the poor service I would never eat here again.

This great cafe is a little hidden away in a big mall. I stubbled upon it… What a find.
Had a delicious breakfast. Felt like I was an invited guest in their home with home cook food. A hidden gem!! Thank you for having me.

I recently visited Shingle Inn Doncaster and had an absolutely wonderful experience! The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a break. The staff were friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect.
The highlight for me was definitely the coffee—rich, smooth, and delicious. Every sip was a delight. Their menu offers a great variety, and everything I tried was delicious and beautifully presented.
I am very grateful for such a great cafe in the area. I highly recommend Shingle Inn Doncaster to anyone looking for a place with excellent service, fantastic food, and exceptional coffee. I’ll definitely be returning soon.

I walked in here looking to cram some food in in a hurry. I asked for the goodness bowl and a cappuccino because frankly I didn't have time to read the menu and I was pleasantly surprised.
The bowl was two poached eggs with a spinach based salad. Eggs were just runny enough for my tastes and the salad was fresh.
Most importantly I got my food in like 5 minutes which is mighty impressive these days. I noticed the place was well staffed and the they weren't overwhelmed and they treated customers nicely.
I'm gonna be coming here every time I pass through.

Went here and ordered the smashed avocado, as on the QR code menu it showed a very nice looking smashed avocado on toast, however my expectations were not met whatsoever. As you can see in the photos the presentation of the meal was lackluster. The bread was not toasted and the entire meal lacked substance. When I complained they stated that was the standard portion which took me by surprise while showing how the meal was supposed to look on the menu. The price for this piece of bread and scraped avocado at 16.90 is ridiculous and pathetic. Do not go here.
One of the best Matcha latte from art and test in Doncaster shopping centre.
I Will definitely recommend this cafe to all Japanese who love Matcha latte like me.
Thanks wonderful Barista for making my day ;)

Very nice decor, large selection of baked and savory items.
Still one of the best matcha latte's in Melbourne.
I tried their chicken wrap, that was great as well.
Definitely coming back..
Enjoy!

Had a tasty midweek lunch here with friends.
Clean, white and natural toned decor...this cafe gets busy so make a booking. Food was delicious and serving size was plentiful - priced a bit above average, but you get quality and taste for your investment.

There was so much wrong with my order. Not only was it cold and poorly presented, they got one of the dishes completely wrong, giving md the regular benedict instead of the B.L.A.T benedict i payed for, and forgot to add the hashbrown I payed extra for. I also found a dark wavy/curly hair in my food between pieces of bacon.
I myself work in a kitchen. It's not that hard to get good quality food out correctly, and it's especially easy to not get hair in customers food.

Very nice Cafe, great seating and service.
Can get quite busy so make sure to book in advance.
Their dishes are all very nice, it's a little pricey but still within reason.
Lots of halal options

the atmosphere of this cafe is very calm and gives off academia vibes. the food was probably the best i’ve had in a very long time and the workers are very nice and approachable. the menu ranges from all sorts of things to your taste. 10/10
I have recently returned to Dark Rye. The current management has lifted this cafe back up. Excellent coffee at a reasonable price. Love their vegan sandwich and tuna wrap especially as i can get half a wrap. Generous servings and fillings. Good service with a smile. Bonus they do not charge a surcharge on cards or a weekend surcharge either.
What a great discovery at Westfield Doncaster. Overall, my experience at Shingle Inn was nothing short of delightful. The quality of the foods and drinks, the inviting atmosphere, and the friendly staff all contributed to a fantastic visit. Whether you're a coffee aficionado or just looking for a cozy place to unwind, Shingle Inn is definitely worth a visit.
Arrived 12:30 on a Saturday so busy time for brunch. Service was friendly professional great, food and portions were great and fast despite being busy.
Some food and drinks were being distributed to wrong tables but I think they recently changed their numbers. They were very polite about that as well.
Will be back ❤️

Had the best breakfast here! So yummy. Visually amazing and extremely tasty. Great atmosphere. The place was buzzing. Very attentive staff. We went back two days later to try another dish. Yum!
Visited this morning with my family. The food was delicious and presented beautifully.
😇💝🎉 The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and ensured our experience was enjoyable. We would happily return again. 👍🏼
However, the only issue we noticed was that the menu could be improved for user-friendliness, particularly in identifying vegetarian options.
🙀 The atmosphere is excellent, but there was noticeable loud chatter, which may be due to the space.

Good quality of coffee, taste especially good if you go in the morning during weekends. It makes me feeling good to start the day or weekend with the bustling market/food hall.
The iced latte was very good, would recommend. The server, Asian man in grey, was patient with a customer who was indecisive and struggled with English.
The seating area had lot of flies.
Quick service, good coffee.

Fantastic variety of cakes! The baked cheesecake is hands down the best in Melbourne— I can't wait to go back for another slice. The coffee is equally amazing.
The customer service is friendly and excellent.
Highly recommend for a delightful treat.

They have amazing cheesecake. They provide best English breakfast I have tried .
Excellent breakfast this morning catching up with a mate. Chilli scrambled eggs was awesome and very well done. Orange juice is one of the best. The big breakfast was good too from all reports from my friend. Coffee great and service was on point. Will definitely be back for another feed 🤙
Was very surprised by the espresso quality, and the service was fantastic! Next time I'm in Westfield i'll definitely be getting another hit :)
Apart from my croissant served direct from the cabinet, it’s quite nice. I thought I could’ve been asked if I like my food heated. It’s a better option to have your coffee in a middle of a busy food court.
Nice cafe and dog friendly! They have outside seating for your furry family member. I had their Taco which are 3 deep fried pieces of chicken on a bed of apple etc slaw and various interesting sauces on a soft tortilla. I love fried chicken. The slaw gave it a sweet taste with the lemon wedge for the sour side kick, and a couple of chilli slices for the “heat”. Ticked all my boxes of sweet, sour, salty and spicy. My friend had the famous Egg Benedict with Smoked Salmon made smokier under a glass cloche with enclosed smoke, remember to smell the smoke when you lift the glass cloche. For me I feel the best part was the potato croquette! Heavenly! The Iced coffee was also very nice, for a nice warm day. The serving sizes are quite large. This rates a “Must Come” for me. I have to try everything else on the menu.
Surprisingly a kiosk in a shopping centre serves such high quality coffee. Definitely a good place for recharging with s cup of nice italian coffee.
Very nice atmosphere and food. Has outdoor seats and easy parking. Staff are friendly and efficient. A very good place for coffee and food, relaxing…
Coffee was nice, good service. But food was decent. The salad looked amazing visually but thought it lacked flavour and didn’t have a dressing so tasted quite dry. The croquet monsieur (ham cheese sandwich) was just normal. The apple salad could have more tangy sweet/sour dressing, and ham lacked flavour and too much cheese made the bread too soggy.
Maybe we chose the wrong dishes. Happy to go again and try other dishes though. Their selection of cakes and pastries look good.

Highly recommend their vanilla slice. The coffee was decent as well.
However, not a cozy ambiance if you are looking for one.

Such horrible carrot cake. The cake was so dry and the icing on it was so sweet that it spoiled my mood for an afternoon tea.
The latte was good but mood was affected by the carrot cake!

Roasting coffee in the mall within the cafe, something different. Expectedly, a strong aromatic coffee drink from Coffee Hit Cafe in Westfield Doncaster mall
Coffee is very beautiful, recommend must eat cold noodles and risotto, as well as milkshake and special drinks are very good to drink. The environment is beautiful and the service attitude is nice and comfortable.
As a group of more than 20 came in on a Sunday morning. Great location with lots of parkings around. The cafe stands out at the area with great views. Coffees and food came out quickly and well-presented. Everyone finished everything on the plate. How good it is!
Excellent service and super friendly staffs, best quality coffee and consistent taste. Sometimes when they are very busy, staffs will apologise to me first and let me know that waiting time might be a bit longer. I will give 10 stars if Google allows.
The food is wonderful!!! Nothing to say, you have to try. Everything on the menu is amazing!!! And cafe is dog cat friendly!
Such a good experience here! Stunning interior!
I had the feed bowl (sushi bowl) and it was delicious! Super fast and lovely service and fair prices. My friend and I sat and chatted for a bout an hour and the staff didn’t try to rush us out.
Would definitely recommend checking this place out! I’ll be back for sure :)

Nothing better than sipping a cup of coffee, sitting in this special 100 years old heritage stable,chatting with friends and enjoying my health lunch.
Really appreciate such beautiful afternoon and highly recommend everyone come here, guaranteed you'll like the local Cafe as me!

Amazing coffee，fresh vegetables and great meals👍 Very nice staffs，and friendly service as well. Beautiful weather today，we‘ll defenitely come back soon🥰🥰
The coffee here is 10/10. After growing up in Melbourne and having lived the last few years interstate (namely Canberra & Sydney), I can sincerely say the coffee here is so well made. Nutty with an excellent balance of sweet, bitter, salty and sour. Haven’t tried the food recently, but the coffee is a must have if you’re a local looking for a regular spot.
Attended my friend’s daughter’s 18 birthday party here. Decent food, beautiful environment and the staffs are friendly. We will definitely come back for brunch.
They have a big selection of cakes, unfortunately the Baci mousse I bought was a bit dry, felt like it's been sitting in the fridge for a while. Coffee was alright, but the guy who took my order was not very friendly.
Coffee is usually good in here.
They have very intriguing cakes, that I wish I could one day try them.
Wish they could put calories info for each cake.

Coffee was good but there is a TERRIBLE HYGIENE issue.
When we were having coffee there, a Asian lady was using a cotton tip and her finger to clean up her ear. It was disgusting to see in a kitchen area. She continued to work without washing her hand after all. So you might possibly using a plate with her earwax.
My friend had diarrhea after she had a Croissant there. She didn’t have lunch or anything else that day. She pretty sure it was caused by that croissant. Not sure what was wrong with that. Never go back again.

2024 update: unfortunately I want to update this review. Coffee has become way overpriced opposed to others around the area. Coffee has risen yes, but this is even higher than average and probably not worth your time anymore. That aside, if you do decide to go here, staff are still lovely.

Have been having their toasted sandwich and coffee for a couple of months. Great and consistently good. Changed over to Tea and toasting. The boys and girls are stars in customer service. You ask for something and they deliver. Well done team.
Had a takeaway wrap and a coffee and was good. Will I go back to this shop? I would really consider again.
I observed a couple of the staffs (the entire time I was there, not just a split moment) who were preparing food and making coffees did not wear their masks properly, i.e having the mask covering the chin (only) and the other exposing the nose. I mentioned to one of the staff, who served me and had a proper mask on that its not right that the other 2 not putting a mask on properly while still making/serving food. Unfortunately she just nodded and continues with what she was doing, while working/standing closely to 1 of the staff that was not wearing the mask properly. Its disappointing, and during these times, you expect people to act more responsibly, as it won't be devastating if biz have to shut for lovkdowns etc again or we are unknowingly transmitting covid.

Bustling with traffic, did very tasty. There was a waiting line, but it moves fast. I was picked out of the queue since I was liking for a single seat. Did was tasty and good. Will go again.
Good service, open early. Reasonable gluten free range. Good coffee. Bit expensive. Good seating. Takes Amex.
Great coffee but when you trying to enjoy the morning coffee and reading the newspaper
And the coffee shop next door (COFFEE HIT) playing loud head banging music.
