Shingle Inn Joondalup

This is an OK café chain store in the new section of lakeside Joondalup. First time I came the coffee was burnt, pleasantly surprised the second time when it was just average.
Only reason I came here on Sunday afternoon was to sit in the nice arm chairs they have looking out the window — except apparently they close at 3pm on Sunday and at the time my wife and I arrived (2.50pm) the cushions had been pulled off the chairs, and half the shop was packed up and being wiped down. Sadly we discovered this after we ordered. Sitting down we proceeded to watch the very many customers being turned away as the chairs were practically put up on the tables around us. I half expected the lights to be turned off on us.
The «first» review is clearly deluded if they think this is fine dining. If you can see Joondalup train station from the window that is unlikely.

I recently visited the Shingle Inn Joondalup as I heard this shop had just opened. As I have previously gone to the one in Ocean keys I thought I’d have the same experience. I was wrong.
I had the best!
The staff all extremely friendly and down to earth. Wanting a chat and a joke to make my dining experience rememberable and also enjoyable, relaxed and at the same time exciting.
The food? Well I could have closed my eyes and sworn I was in a fine dining restaurant in Sydney! The absolute love and effort gone into the cooking and presentation showed.
The coffee? Second to none even with a heart design intop!
The management?
Exceptional! A smile and hello. Like they have known me for years. They wanted me there so I didn’t feel like a customer more a friend.
All I can say is awesome and get down there!!!
You will not regret it.
