Coffee and late breakfast. Friendly staff. Prices were reasonable but a little higher than I'd normally pay. Had seating inside. Food looked fresh and tasted good. Overall, I'd visit for a light lunch. Clean and tidy with off-street parking.

Value for money, understanding and generous service. A bit of music of any kind in the background would have goven 5 across the board.

Visiting this lovely place on our way to Wilsons Promontory. Mariana was lovely, I love the coffee she made for us—Very rich and creamy. The owners very welcoming and made us laugh all the time. Shoutout to Bobby, he’s a good chef with no doubt

We absolutely love Mad Shaks Café at our office. We've ordered from them many times through Uber Eats and it's always been a smooth experience. No issues, just great food and service every time. One of the things we really appreciate is the attention to detail. They often include little notes with our orders, which is such a thoughtful and personal touch. It always puts a smile on our faces. I personally can’t get enough of their tuna toasties. They use really good quality sourdough and the filling is packed full of flavour. It’s not your average tuna and mayo situation—it’s more like a gourmet version that always arrives hot and satisfying. Their coffee is also a standout. The iced coffees are a favourite in our office and give us the perfect pick-me-up during the day. Overall, Mad Shaks consistently delivers delicious food and great coffee. Every order leaves us happy and full. Highly recommend!
