Over the weekend I have an absolutely amazing experience here. Look at the presentation and attention to detail! The food was absolutely delicious and the customer service was phenomenal! Oh, I cannot forget to mention the coffee! Absolutely amazing and great barista skills! The slices! Oh. My. God! Fantastic! It takes true talent to cook and create coffee like they do! I look forward to seeing this cafe & bar flourish! Just what Golden Beach needed!

5 Stars isn’t enough. Food here is exceptional and the Owners and Staff go out of their way to make sure everything is just right and are so friendly. I highly recommend Shirley’s my favorite place to Dine or even just to stop for a coffee or drink. Do yourself a favor and go.

Restaurant Review: A Culinary Gem with Outstanding Service and Atmosphere I am very thankful for this restaurant, it delivered an unforgettable dining experience that deserves every accolade. From the moment we walked in, the warm ambiance, enhanced by the gentle tunes of live piano music, set the stage for a remarkable evening. The meal began with a stunning plate of linguine, perfectly cooked and hearty, offering a delightful combination of flavors that left me completely satisfied. My wife, with her typically high-maintenance dietary requirements, was equally impressed. She opted for snapper, which was beautifully paired with a specially crafted chef’s sauce that elevated the dish to something truly extraordinary. The attention to detail in crafting such a personalized dish demonstrated the chef’s dedication and culinary expertise. The highlight of the evening, however, came with dessert. Despite my wife’s specific dietary needs, which can often pose a challenge, the chef graciously accepted her off-menu request and produced a masterpiece. The dessert, as seen in the photo, was a symphony of fresh strawberries, blueberries, caramelized bananas, roasted nuts, and an artful drizzle of syrup. It was both visually stunning and indulgently delicious—a true testament to the chef’s creativity and commitment to customer satisfaction. Adding to the magic of the evening was the impeccable service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, and the live piano music created a sophisticated yet cozy ambiance that made the night feel special. This restaurant is a rare gem, excelling in food, service, and atmosphere. It’s not just a place to dine but a destination for memories. We left with full hearts, full stomachs, and a newfound appreciation for culinary artistry. Highly recommended!

Came in to Shirley’s today with my family. We were seated straight away by a lovely gentleman. I got the Boston beans on a ciabatta with bacon, rocket, tomatoes and a poached egg. The beans were amazing with a little bit of chilli that really enhanced the flavours! Such a great cafe with friendly service and some great music! Hope to be back soon to experience Shirley’s again :)

We had the coconut flathead tails and it was absolutely delicious. The owners were super friendly and really made us feel welcome. Would highly recommend stopping in there.

The service and food here is excellent. They have brought the same great vibrant and attentive approach from the original Golden Beach location to here at The Wedge. Great coffees and tasty food. If your passing by it’s worth dropping in for a coffee or something to eat, you will be looked after. Twice cooked chicken wings were sticky, messy, tasty and a bit of kick. Pulled pork tacos were very messy to eat but so juicy with delicious pulled pork and fresh slaw.
