Shalom Ladies Boutique Cafe — Restaurant in Herne Hill

Such great value in the heart of tourist town! If you are visiting Swan Valley and want a budget-friendly (almost impossible in Swan Valley) filling, tasty satisfying feed with a drink/coffee/smoothie/sweet menu the likes of Melbourne cafes (5 senses coffee), do pop in! Cold brew, chai/turmeric lattes, iced coffes with icecream & health-freak smoothies to be found in a high-ceilinged A-frame building both open & welcoming. None of the overcrowding & noisy echoes so common in other cafes - here you can hear your companions talk & eat without rush!

Easy parking, friendly & helpful staff, browse the very fairly priced & well-chosen Op Shop wares while waiting for your food or lounge on sofas with handmade touches, standard bistro tables or alfresco barstool seating.

KID-FRIENDLY with kiddie corner, high chairs (that fit!), spacious change rooms, easy pram/stroller access. Will be back for their Beef Brisket & Reuben sandwich with hubby in tow! So it's not just one for the gals. It can get a bit messy so ask for extra serviettes but i love the taste and portion sizes! My friend enjoyed her chai latte too

I think the only thing I could hope to wish for would be eggs Shakshouka with chorizo and this would be my go-to...

My dog Georgey and I had the most amazing time visiting the cafe and op shop this morning. The atmosphere from the minute we walked into the cafe felt so welcoming and full of positive energy. All of the ladies were so friendly and made such a fuss of Georgey I think he would have been happy to stay with them. The coffee and food was delicious, definetly the best coffee I’ve had for a while. The op shop was so clean and well set out, I love an op shop but this was more like a ladies boutique so beautifully presented and a credit to all of the ladies there. I also purchased a beautiful handcrafted and designed necklace ( by the ladies at Shalom) and drinking cup, there was so much too see you could spend hours there. So well worth the almost two hour drive to get there. Can’t recommend any more highly go check it out I’m sure you won’t be...

We love coming here and do as often as we can. Food is simply wholesome, good quality and delicious with a good selection of cakes, slices and toasties. Soup is amazing when it's soup season. And you must always visit the clothes boutique to find a bargain then the furniture shed to see what's for sale. Ultimately, we go to support these amazing women in the Shalom program who are there to change their lives. So please be mindful of that as this is part of their rehab and reintegration into life after addiction. Some of these ladies have been to hell and back so please be patient and understanding...
