History
The Historic Shingle Inn, Edward Street Brisbane was built in 1936 amidst the depression. Constructed as an elegant English-style teahouse, Shingle Inn faced abandonment in early 1970’s but was bought by the Bellchambers family in 1975.
With careful rejuvenation of the café, remaining true to the provision of cakes, bakery specialities and food of exceptional quality, the word of Shingle Inn’s unique and wonderful experience spread from one generation to the next.
