Oliver MagroFebruary 21, 2015Have to drink decaf now - but theirs was decent. Had avocado on sourdough (just the right ripeness on the avocado), other breakfasts looked good too.UpvoteDownvote
Paul FarrellJuly 1, 2016Very pleasant staff and a good coffee. Nice to set outside and watch the world pass by. Very child friendly.UpvoteDownvote
Open later than a lot of nearby cafés. Good for that late arvo slump. Also better to grab a grocery shopping FW here than risk a Woolies one...UpvoteDownvote
Truly the best coffee. I'm torn between Shenkin and The Kick two doors down. The falafel wrap with homemade pickled cabbage/carrots will make you a vego convert! Really really must try!Upvote2Downvote
Andrea B (cyberetto)December 1, 2009Try one of the special breakfast combos such as the dish with poached eggs in an abundant tomato and capsicum sauce, served with the fluffiest of fresh-made pita bread and 5 dips.Upvote3Downvote
The homemade chocolate goodies are to die for ESP the choc pyramid!! Shakshuka with freshly baked pita bread is also delicious:) friendly vibe.UpvoteDownvote
Great food, coffee & service. The staff are always very friendly & attentiveUpvoteDownvote
Liana ZFebruary 22, 2011Labbane with zaatar, tomato and fresh pita. Soooo good. Will definitely be back to try everything else on the menu.

The chocolate they use in the mocha is like no other. 😍UpvoteDownvote
Ciaran DavisonJune 26, 2010There is no hot chocolate in Australia like Shenkin hot chocolate. No powder, only delicious chunks of real choc melted in steamed milk. Don't miss out.UpvoteDownvote
- Nicholas AllanJune 6, 2011In the running for best coffee in Sydney. Great interest and care in their espresso!Upvote2Downvote
The shakshuka is awesome and best coffee aroundUpvote2Downvote
Very nice food!!! N should try the piña colada frappeUpvoteDownvote
Grace LessOctober 27, 2012The Sunday morning staff are rude (esp the guy with glasses), get orders wrong then give you more attitude. When in an area saturated with great alternatives, I won't bother coming here again.UpvoteDownvote
Ms HeleneMay 27, 2012Ok coffee. Menu items sounded better than they tasted. The 'Turkish Breakfast' was unappetising - a few small dishes served together but didn't match in flavoursUpvoteDownvote
Denys TroyakDecember 6, 2011Coffee was ok! One negative I had two double ressi piccolos from two different baristas both tasting different. Inconsistency kills all businesses.UpvoteDownvote
Maya BilalisJuly 4, 2010As tasty as their shakshuka is it is not what I expected it too be! A little on the runny side. More like a tomato soup. Enjoy.UpvoteDownvote
- roger fitzJanuary 16, 2010ask ben for a double ristretto from one of his new single origin roasts ... glorious!Upvote1Downvote
