The lemon mint frappe is great for a hot day! But bring cash - eftpos minimum is $10

Fantastic brekky esp shakshuka & Israeli big brekky. Staff were very friendly & quick service. Dog friendly

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...

Very pleasant staff and a good coffee. Nice to set outside and watch the world pass by. Very child friendly.

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!

Have to drink decaf now - but theirs was decent. Had avocado on sourdough (just the right ripeness on the avocado), other breakfasts looked good too.
Carolyn DengJuly 19, 2015
Shakshuka with eggplant and haloumi. Soooo good!
Andrea B (cyberetto)December 1, 2009
Try 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.

The homemade chocolate goodies are to die for ESP the choc pyramid!! Shakshuka with freshly baked pita bread is also delicious:) friendly vibe.

Anna XoxJune 21, 2015
Great Bonsoy coffee and cakes. Middle Eastern inspired menu.
Liana ZFebruary 22, 2011
Labbane with zaatar, tomato and fresh pita. Soooo good. Will definitely be back to try everything else on the menu.

Best coffee in Erskineville village - specialty blends and single origin options available
William Murray-BrownAugust 19, 2016
Great coffee, awesome tunes. No wifi though
Ciaran DavisonJune 26, 2010
There 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.

Best Israeli food in Erskineville

The shakshuka is awesome and best coffee around
AndreSeptember 5, 2015
Great breakfast food. Good coffee
Grace LessOctober 27, 2012
The 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.
Noura ElkhereijiJune 20, 2018
Everything is more than good.
Nicholas AllanJune 6, 2011
In the running for best coffee in Sydney. Great interest and care in their espresso!

Very nice food!!! N should try the piña colada frappe
Ms HeleneMay 27, 2012
Ok coffee. Menu items sounded better than they tasted. The 'Turkish Breakfast' was unappetising - a few small dishes served together but didn't match in flavours

The mocha has malted chocolate in it. So. Good.

Big Israeli breakfast is my favourite!
Denys TroyakDecember 6, 2011
Coffee was ok! One negative I had two double ressi piccolos from two different baristas both tasting different. Inconsistency kills all businesses.

Could say it's the best café in Sydney

Ice chocolate was pretty awesome
Maya BilalisJuly 4, 2010
As 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.
Nadun KanchanaOctober 29, 2016
Good creamy Coffee
Lauren SandayJune 19, 2011
Not impressed. Poor service, sat there for ages before they took our order. Then got our order wrong, and it was cold by the time it got to the table. Menu is also uninteresting, not good value.
