Called in for a quick bite and coffee late morning. To tell the truth, I hadn’t been to Shine for some months because I thought it had gone a little downhill since the change in ownership a couple of years ago. This morning I ordered a large flat white and eggs with creamy mushrooms on the side. The coffee was fine. The food, however, was very disappointing. The poached eggs were deformed looking and hard-boiled and the mushrooms were not great. Frankly, the cafe needs a new cook. The food in the cabinet looked fine. Will probably leave it a couple of years before going back
Came here today around 10:45am. Loved the food and the presentation was lovely. The atmosphere wasn’t extremely nice. A lot of people were looking at us which made us uncomfortable. The person next to us ordered the same thing (Eggs with the Lot) has gotten the creamy portobello mushroom and beans while we had just gotten a toasted mushroom. If they ran out with the creamy mushroom and beans it would have been fine but they didn’t communicate this with us. So I give this cafe a 2 star. :/
A delightful little cafe I must say, however the coffees are not quite as excellent as they were when the English fellow with a beard worked there, though still very good.
I always make an effort to stop by here for brekkie if I am in the area. One of the best Eggs Benny I have ever had. Nice friendly staff, great service in a clean and comfortable establishment. Good parking which can be a rarity in the Lower Hutt CBD as well.
Good food, nice staff and enjoyable atmosphere and bright sunny frontage. Slight issue with them not asking whether the cabinet food (salmon bagel) should be heated or not, they automatically heat all food however this was not made clear and we were expecting it to be cold. The staff were quick to rectify with no fuss and with a smile on their face. Price we paid was good, $20 for a bagel and baguette, however the prices for the cabinet food were not displayed anywhere.. had we been aware of the decent prices prior to choosing we may have purchased something extra instead of prepping ourselves for a potential high cost.
Have been here a long time ago and food and coffee was great. I go passed regularly and see it full to the brim so it’s obviously still very good! Bonus is they’re awesome for supporting local schools and making and giving out lunches-just Awesome! Keep up the good work.
A little local cafe that I love. My partner and I have been going to this cafe practically every weekends for the past 2-3 yrs. We love the great service and the food. They use free range eggs and bacon. And bacon is really good. Love the coffee too. I highly recommend this place.
