Shingle Inn Joondalup

Shingle Inn in Joondalup is one of my go-to spots. Nestled inside Lakeside Joondalup Shopping City, it's quite handy for a coffee break during a shopping spree. The vibe is relaxed, a quaint little nook. It's not huge, but that adds to its charm. The high tea is a crowd favorite here, with delicate pastries and lovely brews, perfect for a leisurely afternoon.

Their coffee is quite decent, not too strong but just enough kick to get through the day. The pastries and cakes are fresh, and they pair nicely with their tea or coffee options. If you have a sweet tooth, the treats will not disappoint. My pick is usually their scones; soft, crumbly, and simply delicious with jam and cream.

I often grab a coffee to go, but the option to sit and enjoy is a nice touch. While you're there, pop into a few stores around the mall. There's plenty of shopping to be done if you're in the mood. Nearby, you'll find everything from fashion outlets to tech stores.

On a sunny day, the outdoor seating is inviting. You can people-watch or even bring your dog along, which is a big plus for pet owners. The service can be a bit slow sometimes, especially when it's busy. But the staff is generally friendly, eager to help, which makes up for it.

Shingle Inn is also wheelchair accessible, with ramps and friendly seating. They make sure everyone can enjoy their coffee with ease. This is definitely something I appreciate, and it's not always common in all coffee spots around town.

If you're up for a bit more, take a little walk outside. Yellagonga Regional Park is nearby; perfect for a stroll. The lovely lake view makes for a peaceful afternoon before heading back for one more round of shopping. It's these small joys that make Joondalup a nice place to hang out.

The pricing at Shingle Inn is reasonable. You get what you pay for, and there are no surprises. Sometimes, I wish they'd extend their hours, especially on weekends. Closing at 4 pm is a bit early but it's also a great excuse to start early in the day.

For those who love their tea, the selection here is quite good. They have various blends from black to herbal. It complements their high tea offerings well, making this place a popular spot for tea lovers.

I'd recommend Shingle Inn for a calm afternoon with friends or even solo. It's tied into Joondalup's lively shopping scene but offers a little escape. It's not the trendiest cafe around, but its charm is endearing. You'll leave feeling just a tad more relaxed, ready to face whatever Joondalup Shopping City throws at you next.

Overall, if you haven't been to Shingle Inn in Joondalup yet, it's worth a visit. Whether you're taking a break from shopping or just in the area, it's a solid choice. The cozy atmosphere, good coffee, and friendly service make it a pleasant stopover. Plus, with all the nearby shopping and sights, you'll find plenty to fill your day.
