I swung by The Shelf on Sunday around 2pm to grab a quick bite with my brother. Let me tell you, the place was hopping! Luckily, we managed to snag a table towards the back. The staff wasted no time in taking care of us and getting our order.Now, let's talk about the menu. It's seriously got something for everyone. We ended up going for the Chicken Fettuccine and the Kimchi BBQ Pork Belly with Scrambled Eggs. And, we couldn't resist trying the Orange and Passion Fruit Ade and the Tim Tam Freak Shake. Both the food and drink was out of this world! Both dishes were bursting with flavor, and the portion sizes were just right. That Pork Belly? Oh my, it was heavenly! And the Ade? So refreshing! But let me tell you, the Tim Tam Freak Shake was a showstopper. Talk about creativity in a glass!As for the vibe, it was totally chill and inviting. If you're looking for a great spot to grab a snack or quick lunch, I can't recommend The Shelf enough. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Chanced upon this cafe in High street on a Sunday morning quest for brunch with friends. Loved the cafe ambience. It was clean and cozy offering seating in a variety of configuration ranging from high tables to single booths. Service was quick and food incredible. The place allows its customers the opportunity to mix their drink to suit an individual’s taste. For instance - the quantity of vanilla shot in my flat white, milk in my ice coffee etc. Loved this concept. The French toast was outstanding. Highly recommend this place.

I am a loyal customer of Shelf Cafe and have always enjoyed my dining experiences there, but unfortunately, my recent visit left a sour taste in my mouth. The Oreo cheesecake that my party and I were served was incredibly dry and tasted stale. Upon further inspection, it was clear that the cheesecake was a leftover from the kitchen, as there was a fresh one on display that we were not offered.To make matters worse, the staff did not apologize for serving us an unsatisfactory dessert. It was only after I made a strong complaint that they begrudgingly replaced the cheesecake with a fresh one, but still without any apology.As a loyal customer, I was extremely disappointed by the lack of attention to detail and customer service. While the fresh cheesecake was much appreciated, the experience left a bad taste in my mouth. I hope that the staff at Shelf Cafe can take this feedback constructively and improve their service in the future.

Phenomenal food and quick service with no wait on a Monday morning. Will definitely be going back - the waffle was punishingly good though I sampled my brothers egg Benedict and that was even better.Update: had to go back and tried the salmon bagel. It just knocked it out of the park

A nice breakfast meal range including the drinks. The 'mash mash' meal was very delicious, the corn beef was very flavourful and every bite was delicious because of it. The egg, potatoes, spinach, tomato and feta was a very nice combination. The Peach iced tea was also on point which I'm really happy about. The service and atmosphere is nice also. Highly recommended place for your breakfast needs!

Super cozy space on the inside, just a little hidden away in High St. We had the French toast and the waffles - both were absolutely delicious, good portion, fresh cooked, nice and crispy with candy floss on top. The only criticism I have would be to add a bit more maple syrup, but honestly it was totally perfect otherwise. They also had a lot of cabinet food and drink options that looked amazing.The service was quick and helpful, and they also had free WiFi that was quite fast. Already planning on going back sometime soon :)

Great atmosphere, ordered a benedict with no bacon so just spinach. Really good other than the fact that the spinach wasn’t cooked at all or even seem washed. Felt like they pulled it right out of the pack and chucked it straight onto my muffins. Would be great if spinach was cooked.

It’s all good. Atmosphere, the drinks and food. Needs repeated visits. Helmed by a Korean couple with efficient service. Get yourself a table, order & pay at the order and your selections will be sent to your table promptly. I had fun with my hot chocolate which is hot milk in a cup that has chocolate at bottom, a stick of Whittaker’s chocolate and served with a small cup of yummilicious chocolate syrup.

Wide range of drinks and food, plenty of desserts but best of all, the music keeps the mood relaxed and fun.See photo for the Oreo Monster Freak Shake, which is a pretty neat, sweet summer beverage.
