The Shakey Isles


We went to meet Dadda for a coffee one day and met him at The Shakey Isles in Kingland. Wow! Pretty much as soon as I walked in the door with Mamma one of the staff walked over and gave me a cool Toy to play with! Its hard to fault somewhere when you are made to feel special and welcome straight off the bat!
Dadda had a coffee they serve Cafe L'affare Coffee here and Mamma had a Juice! I just had a great time playing with the toy and looking at all the pictures on the wall. The staff were amazing!


Check out the cool paintings on the wall and again the hanging lights! This was a bit of a coffee dash review as we were in and out so fast. I will endure to return to review in more depth soon............

Agnes Curran

Once a month I like to have catch up cuddles with my Aunty Lucy its usually in a cafe for coffee with Mamma and Dadda so I get to kill two birds with one stone so to speak. I'm overdue for a catch up with Aunty Lucy again so I though I'd best stop slacking and get the review up from the last time we caught up.
Agnes Curren is a great little spot, its always buzzing with people getting their fix of coffee and tasty treats from the cabinet.
We sat inside today there is a great communal table in the middle and we sat there. Its perfect for sticky beaking on peoples conversations without it being really obvious. Not that I understand what they are saying but I like to take a good look at whats going on! If its a sunny day you can sit out side in the court yard. Its in Ponsonby so there is a good chance someone will have their dog tied up outside to the little gate. I'm obsessed with dogs so this is a highlight for me.

The coffee must have been good as it was gone before I could take a photo! The food looked good too. Mamma spent allot of time pondering at the cabinet before she made a decision.

I've noticed that allot of cafes have interesting lights handing from the roof so I've decided to start adding photos of these as well.

Agnes Curran is on the corner of Ponsonby Road and Franklin Road (With the entrance up a small flight of steps on Franklin just back from the corner). So its busy but get in there and find a spot! There is loads of stuff to look at it almost feels like you are sitting at the kitchen table in an old farmhouse. Cosy and lots of good smells!
