Shambhala

Been driving past Shambhala numerous times and finally had a chance to go today. Coffee was great and dreamy. The taste was very mutual with a hint of bitterness, which I dug. One of the best we have had. Almost bought coffee beans from them. We especially loved the orange and almond cake. It was so refreshing and light. The orange flavor was very consistent throughout. The hazelnut cake was delicious too but we both decided we loved the orange and almond cake more. Service wise, we both thought they could use a bit of improvement. The chick who served us did not seem too thrilled to be there. But the owner (correct me if I’m wrong), on the other hand, was much warmer and welcoming. Will come back again.

Shambhala Espresso, the little cafe with big taste and even bigger smiles! The cafe is beautifully appointed and staffed by the nicest, friendliest people. Which is no surprise considering management. You honestly won’t meet nicer people. The coffee is ethically sourced and tastes great, whether you’re a purist who enjoys a macchiato or short black or like it with vanilla or ice cream. Now, the smiles are fantastic, the coffee great; But the magic, the real magic here is in the food. The menus are consistently updated and refreshed but don’t fear, they are all equally amazing and contain a diverse range from light and fresh, to heavier more filling dishes. They always include some standard favourites but with the chef’s key twists. My words can never do it justice. Go and experience it for yourself. Trust me!

Definitely 5/5 for staff, service, coffee, chai (6th star - not powdered but loose leave tea properly brewed) and food. We ordered avo on toast, and mentioned we were sharing. The staff brought us two separate plates that were well presented. Minor details makes big difference. All the staff members seem to be genuinely interested in the cafe ! Highly recommend going there.

Starlla and her family have bought a lovely little tranquil space to our local area. The food is always fresh and delicious and the weekend specials are so unique, suitable to the seasonal produce. The gang are huge on sustainability, so it's great to have seen all the changes they have made in their short tenure to the area to improve on these skills. Discounts on keep cups, coffee grounds for your gardens and even a mug library in case your forget your reusable/keep cup. They also offer batch brew coffee and all sweets are made in house. Bloody brilliant.

Unbelievably good! The menu, the quality of food, the beverages, the staff. Don't do what I did and drive past it (over five years) without realising what I was missing. Shambhala really has you covered for coffee (my wife says the best and she's travelled far and wide looking for the ultimate coffee), tea or smoothie, a treat, freshly prepared ready to go bites, or something more wholesome and filling. I am a little selfish and somewhat hesitant to spread the good word but these guys truly deserve it - an absolute gem!

Beautiful little Cafe right near a bike track. Well thought out breakfast menu with scrumptious items. They do all their baking in house. Staff are very well organized and polite. Absolutely love their "reducing waste" policy. You can borrow from the mug library and they have a no takeaway cup rule when dining in to reduce the carbon footprint. Plus the coffees are cheaper if you bring your own reusable cup or mug.
