Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Now offering dinners on Friday nights, always a favourite during daytime too. Delicious meals - prawn sliders, fried chicken, rose wine and mixed drink. Lovely environment - open, classy, quiet jazz. People - so nice, welcoming, informative. Prices - very acceptable!

I am not kidding when i say that is one of my favourites cafés around Melbourne and around the globe. Simply i can not describe the incredible plates, amazing taste and wonderful atmosphere amoung the staff and with the customers. Currently is not easy for...me to go there because i am so far away from there (Europe) but next time i will go there again for sure and i highly recommend everybody to eat there and drink the best coffee ever. Thank you so much for the warm welcoming and delicious food!! I am so happy and missing a lot this place.More

Had a recent breakfast meet-up with friends. Wow - the feed was a delight. Each dish was insta-worthy and tasted even better. I had the house dish of portobello mushrooms, and they switched the poached for scrambled eggs without any fuss. Will go again for...sure. The pancakes looked outstanding for those with a sweet tooth!More

Had breakfast at Shanklin this morning. It was outstanding! I ordered the Pork Benny, it was presented beautifully and utterly delicious. I also ordered the espresso milkshake as opposed to my normal iced latte. Go early as it’s a small venue and became quite busy.

I happened upon this lovely spot just down from my Air bnb as my room was not ready yet and I had just flown in from Vancouver. Initially I just wanted a tea (4.5) but looked over the menu several times. Eventually I settled on...the Portobella mushroom (23) Outstanding! The mushrooms (I had 3) were crusted with panko and zaatar spice, stacked over romesco sauce and steamed spinach, topped with grilled pepper and halloumi and two poached eggs. I also opted for a side of avocado (6.50). For me this was enough for 2 meals. I could taste each element which is paramount for me when I am out paying for a meal as a chef. I highly recommend this cozy little find.More

Shanklin, what a cool establishment, super friendly service and very accommodating. We ordered the specials of the day, Benny supreme? With pulled pork and the roast chicken salad. Presentation perfect, the Benny a very rich and tasty treat, highly recommended. Impressed by the staff interest...in our thoughts about the dishes, and welcomed our feedback. Highly recommend you give Shanklin a go.More

Food and coffee was great as was the friendly service but it’s a bit overpriced in my book. If you pick and choose individual breakfast items like eggs with sides of bacon, avocado, tomato etc instead of a set menu item, it’s super expensive.!!$6.50 for...a small side of bacon, $5 for 1/2 avocado and so on. Can’t fault the food and coffee thought.More

We went again yesterday and loved our meals (chicken burger, steak sandwich, coffees) - only problem, serves are a bit too big, but the leftovers were good later at home. Yes, the people working there are just terrific - altogether, an outstanding lunchtime experience.
