Shingle Inn City Hall

Great environment and friendly staff. The team was very efficient and the food was great. We strongly recommend and will be back for sure! Great atmosphere, and its been a while since I've seen this high level of customer service. Thank you all the team for a great experience. We will be back soon for hight tea :)

Very old style tearooms offering reasonably priced Devonshire tea and High tea and other items. Very unique and nicely laid out. I had the Devonshire tea. 2 decent scones, crumbly, still warm and definitely not stale. More than enough jam and cream. Enough tea in the pot for 2 cups. Wait staff a bit slow but I was not in a hurry, nor did I mind a wait. All in all a very pleasant stop. Also recommend the Clock Tower tour.

Cozy style area with some classic and old style furniture. Too small for the crowd. Variety of options on the e menu but a bit pricey and not worth a try. Simple and plain food but good quality though. The cake slice was supposed to be sour as per menu but it was super sweet. The coffee was supposed to be traditional and special but was just a normal coffee. Lemon lime bitters was the bottle and not house made. Staff were nice though.

We had a lovely time here for my daughter's birthday. The service was so lovely, all so very polite. The food was lovely, except for my daughter who likes more savory items, she didn't each much of the Teddy Bear high tea as it was mostly sweet things. Otherwise the customer service and setting was beautiful. Will want to come back soon.

“Walked into this café and immediately felt like I should have been wearing a corset and addressing strangers as Your Grace. The architecture is straight out of Bridgerton — glassware that sparkle more than my dating prospects, fancy chairs that look like they belong in a royal ballroom (but thankfully don’t collapse under my modern-day brunch weight), and wallpaper that whispers, ‘Tea is always scandalous if poured after noon.’ The service was so good I half expected the staff to bow after taking my order. They were genuinely kind, fast, and not at all fazed by my attempt to order with an English accent that quickly drifted into pirate. Food? Pretty decent. Eggs Benedict were as noble as a Duke’s jawline, the coffee strong enough to make me forget I spent $5 on it. Honestly, I came for caffeine but left wondering if I should start practicing the violin for the next season’s ball. Would recommend to anyone who wants their flat white with a side of Regency drama.”

A cute atmosphere harking back to another era. The old timbers, stained glass windows, chandeliers and hand painted pottery all add to the atmosphere. The food is delightful and nicely presented. Coffee is quite good. The seating is a little compact but overall the experience is worth it. Would recommend a visit here.
