Shenkin

So great service, good vibes, nice coffee, food and pastries!!! there's little courtyard too! Staff here is always friendly and give me great chat, food recommendations. Bacon&wrap for take away is so tasty! One of the mice & cozy cafe in Newtown/Enmore area.

Good cafe serving good food with friendly staff. We really enjoyed breakfast and coffee at the Shenkin in Enmore today. The Angelita was delicious. We also got eggs on toast with chorizo. The toast was well toasted and the chorizo were yummy. We enjoyed sitting in the courtyard because it’s a bit quieter. It started to sprinkle shortly after we got our food, the staff were happy to help us move to another table under shelter when we raised it. They are very busy but tables turn around quickly so it’s worth a try if you’re in the area.

Whoever barista was working 21 Jan 2026 3pm… if she’s from Sydney but not Melb I think I might believe in love again. How, can she steam oat milk and turn it into warm, smooth, and silky cream (that is originally from south NZ cow)

Delicious, hearty, and nicely portioned. I think the shakshuka would be better balanced if there was a dollop of tahini or sour cream on the top (sorry if sacrilegious) and/or an extra piece of that delightfully light and chewy pita bread. But delicious nonetheless. Ordering haloumi and eggplant as an addition is a must. The haloumi is pleasantly airy and not overbearing or greasy. Very good indeed.

Great coffee, delicious food, and friendly staff in a cute and cozy setting. Whether you eat-in or grab takeout, you won't be disappointed. Particularly love grabbing one of the many different pastries for a light morning snack along with my brew.
