Shakey Isles

A nearly-fine café that falls short on details. Spacious and rustic decor, with versatile seating. City prices, but the menu extensive. I took the corn fritters with a large flat white. The fritters were light and fluffy but I sensed they we're freshly cooked - but the again service was quick so that probably explains it. The streaky bacon was flavourful. Coffee outstanding - smooth and full of taste. Tables cleared but not wiped down; I had to find my own knife.

Service is always very quick. Portion for the eggs Benedict was as expected but the breakfast was slightly small compared to other places I’ve been. The potato was cooked in what books like a waffle iron so it was super crunchy and tasty. The eggs were cooked well but the bacon was a bit thin and fatty. The chutney that is came with was tasty. They have lots of cabinet food and make their hot chocolates with a Whitaker’s bar so that is always a plus!

Shaky Isles is in a great location in Britomart, near heaps of different public transport options. Ordered eggs benedict and have a few times. It was served on top of what appeared to be waffles which I wasn't a huge fan of personally. There's a decentish amount of seating, but there does tend to be a lot of uncleared dishes on tables which can sometimes be a pain! It's convenience in the city is what makes it a good option to go to.

Spacious cafe in the heart of Britomart that serves up way more all-day brunch food than I had expected. A group of us had met here this morning for a work coffee catch-up, and easily found a space to accommodate us to have a drink and breakfast. Only main issue I had was that in my time constrained 30 minutes, it took about 15 minutes to get my tea... my tea even came out _after_ the sandwich that I had ordered which meant I had to try to get it all down in the last 10 minutes before I had to up and go. Outside of that the experience has been pleasant.

We did not know that there was a whole chain of shaky Isles across New Zealand when we first walked into this one at Customs Street. Absolutely loved the ambience and decoration:- especially the advice to straddle large mammals. Definitely require improvement on service however as most tables were not cleared and food took awhile to ready. Lovely coffee and we enjoyed our brunch tremendously.
