A Royal Return: Meet Charlotte!

By

Some cakes are simply too special to leave in the past.

After many customer requests, our much-loved Charlotte Royale has made its return to Shingle Inn, this time in a perfectly petite size. Reintroduced from the Shingle Inn bakery archives, the new Mini Charlotte Royale brings together a little nostalgia, a little elegance and plenty of strawberry-filled sweetness.

A favourite from the Shingle Inn bakery archives

The Charlotte Royale has long been a favourite among Shingle Inn customers, and we have received plenty of requests to bring it back. We listened! Inspired by a classic European dessert, our Mini Charlotte Royale features slices of vanilla and jam Swiss roll wrapped around a light, sweet strawberry mousse. It is finished with a glossy raspberry-plum gel glaze, creating its signature red swirl and beautifully polished appearance.

With its intricate layers and striking finish, this miniature cake looks every bit as special as it tastes.

A royally good reason for a coffee date

The Mini Charlotte Royale is just the right size for a personal treat, an afternoon pick-me-up or a long-overdue catch-up with someone special. Enjoy yours in-store with a freshly made coffee or tea.

Our Mini Charlotte Royale has returned by popular request, but it will only be visiting the Shingle Inn cake cabinet for a limited time.

Visit your local Shingle Inn café to rediscover this favourite from our bakery archives and enjoy a little taste of Shingle Inn history while it is here.

The Burger That Always Hits the Spot

By

There are some days when only a proper burger will do. The kind that arrives stacked with all the classics, accompanied by hot, crispy chips and ready to be enjoyed with both hands.

A firm favourite on the Shingle Inn menu, our Beef Burger with Cheese & Chips is a classic café lunch that always hits the spot.

A classic beef burger, done right

At the centre of this much-loved menu staple is a prime Angus beef pattie, topped with tomato relish, Swiss cheese, dill pickle, salad greens and red onion.

The rich beef and creamy Swiss cheese are balanced by sweet tomato relish, tangy pickle and fresh salad, creating all the flavours you want from a classic burger. It is served with crispy beer-battered chips for the full café burger experience.

Make it your perfect lunch

A burger and chips may be a complete meal, but the right drink makes it even better. Pair yours with an icy cold drink, juice, milkshake or your favourite Shingle Inn Iced Latte.

Catching up with friends or bringing the family along? Add an extra bowl of beer-battered chips for the table, or mix things up with sweet potato chips or wedges served with sour cream.

You can also choose a dipping sauce to complete the meal, with aioli, sweet chilli, BBQ, tartare, tomato sauce and gravy available.

Meet the rest of our burger line-up

Not in the mood for beef? There are plenty of other burgers to explore on the Shingle Inn menu.

  • For seafood fans, the Fish Burger & Chips features two fillets of crispy flathead with tartare sauce, lettuce, cucumber, carrot and red onion.
  • Looking for something fresh and filling? Try the Grilled Chicken Burger & Chips, made with grilled chicken breast, avocado, tomato, lettuce, red onion, beetroot and mayonnaise.
  • Our Veggie Burger & Chips brings together garlic mushrooms, haloumi, rocket and tomato relish for a satisfying meat-free option that is full of flavour.

Whether you are craving a classic beef burger, crispy fish, grilled chicken or a vegetarian burger, there is a Shingle Inn favourite waiting for you.

Your next lunch order is sorted.

Shingle Inn is proud to congratulate Vic and Anne Terpkos of Shingle Inn Joondalup, who have been named Franchisee of the Year: Single Unit – Hospitality, by the Franchise Council of Australia.

The award recognises the incredible care, consistency and dedication Vic and Anne have brought to their café, their customers, their team and their local community.

Vic and Anne first joined the Shingle Inn family in 2012, opening Shingle Inn Belmont Forum, the very first Shingle Inn café in Western Australia. In 2016, they took over Shingle Inn Joondalup and have since built a thriving business known for its warm hospitality, strong customer loyalty and commitment to quality.

For many guests, Shingle Inn Joondalup has become much more than a place to enjoy coffee, cake, breakfast or lunch. It is a familiar and welcoming space where customers are known by name, families return time and time again, and the team takes pride in creating memorable everyday moments.

Vic is often the familiar face customers see front-of-house, whether he is greeting guests, serving at the register or supporting the team during busy periods. Behind the scenes, Anne plays a vital role in ensuring the kitchen and operations run smoothly, with systems and standards that help the team consistently deliver the quality Shingle Inn customers know and love.

Together, they have created a team culture built on care, communication and genuine service. Many of their team members have been with the business for several years, a reflection of the positive workplace and strong leadership Vic and Anne have built.

Their connection to the local community has also become a meaningful part of the Joondalup story. Over the past 12 months, Shingle Inn Joondalup has provided approximately 2,500 Encouragement Awards to local sporting clubs, helping celebrate young players and their achievements. Vic and Anne have also supported local community groups, raffles and fundraising initiatives with vouchers, coffee offers and Shingle Inn favourites.

Make Mum’s Day

By

This Mother’s Day, we’re focused on meaningful moments. Whether it’s a relaxed breakfast in one of our comfy booths, a gift lovingly chosen from our bakery, or a simple gesture that says, “I love you”, Shingle Inn has everything you need to show Mum just how special she is.

Here are five thoughtful ideas to help you spoil Mum (and Grandma!) this Mother’s Day, with less stress and more heart.

1. Meaningful moments
Sometimes the best gift is simply slowing down together. Bring Mum in for a fuss-free breakfast or relaxing lunch. We’ll take care of the details so you can focus on what really matters. Our comfy arm chairs & booths, friendly team members and relaxing atmosphere make for some quality family time.

2. A fresh new flavour
This one’s all about the details… our Pink Velvet Lamingtons feature soft vanilla sponge, raspberry and coconut coating, Chantilly cream piping and those little edible hearts on top. Thoughtful, pretty and made to make someone feel special. Why not pair it with one of our Shingle Inn branded tins for an easy, ready-to-go gift?

3. Say it with tradition
Give a gift that’s full of flavour and meaning. Our Mini Flower Fruit Cakes are a labour of love. Made using fruit soaked in brandy for three months, blended with the finest raw ingredients and matured to perfection. Each one is hand-decorated and perfect for gifting, especially with one of our custom branded tins.

4. Give her the gift of choice
Let Mum choose her favourite treat with a Shingle Inn Gift Card. It’s the ideal way to plan a future coffee date or breakfast catch-up in one of our signature booths. A thoughtful, no-stress option that still feels personal.

5. Take Shingle Inn with you!
Why not create your own High Tea picnic? Pick up our delicious scones, quiches, sweet treats and hot beverages to take away and pack with a jar of jam & cream. Then head to the park or garden for a make-your-own brunch experience. It’s easy, special and memorable.

We’ve got beautifully packaged whole cakes, biscuits, gift cards and treats available in-store right up to Mother’s Day. Swing by and find something that feels just right.

Pink Velvet Lamingtons

By

Step aside red velvet… there’s a new flavour in town!

There’s a new lamington in the cabinet… and it’s turning heads for all the right reasons.

Meet our Pink Velvet Lamington! A soft, fluffy reimagining of the classic, created exclusively by the Shingle Inn Bakery and available for a limited time only. (Just quietly, it might be our prettiest product yet!)

What makes pink velvet so special?

While red velvet leans into that subtle cocoa note, pink velvet takes a lighter, more delicate approach. Think soft vanilla sweetness, lifted with a hint of raspberry and finished with light Chantilly cream and a touch of raspberry plum jam. It’s fresh, slightly tangy and just the right amount of sweet.

Made for Mother’s Day (and the special women in your life)

This one’s all about the details… soft vanilla sponge, raspberry and coconut coating, Chantilly cream piping and those little edible hearts on top. Thoughtful, pretty and made to make someone feel special.

Why not pair it with one of our Shingle Inn branded tins for an easy, ready-to-go gift?

Made fresh by the Shingle Inn Bakery and available for a limited time only, our Pink Velvet Lamington is the perfect Mother’s Day treat.

If you’ve been looking for a sign to try it… this is it!
