Lampshade Cafe

Came in for a quick takeaway only to not want to leave, ended up soaking in the amazing atmosphere, tunes and great coffee, love the 70's vibe, what a gem of a place

A hidden gem in the suburb of Somerton Park. Very friendly, caring and knowledgeable owner and staff, that are always welcoming and open for a chat. Cool, whimsical and retro style atmosphere with lots of curious objects to discover. Great homemade cafe food and OMG the coffee there!!! My new favourite Café!

Best long black I had in Adelaide. Silky smooth texture with caramel sweetness and hints of citrus and acidity. More concentrated than a typical long black due to lower water/coffee ratio which makes it more like a Moka pot coffee without the sedimentation issue. The owner surely takes pride of his coffee making skills.

Gorgeous cafe, lovely and quiet for a catch up or to get some work done. Lovely service, incredible coffee and one of the best Toasties I've ever had. Love the decor, feels very homestyle and Cosy. Will definitely be back. New local fave!

Awesome little coffee shop. Owners lovely, grubs delish, with a really chilled vibe to the place. 10/10, will definitely be back.

Had an incredible iced long black here. Probably the smoothest coffee I've ever had. Highly recommend.

Sensational coffee, excellent non milk options. Primarily local produce. Quirky decor & decorative pieces, the highlight is the vinyl record playing delivering warm old tunes.
Update Nov2019; again excellent take away coffee from here today. Now also has outside seating to enjoy the good weather.

I love this place, Good coffee ❤

Nice local coffee shop. Amazing people working there. Nice atmosphere and pleasant place. Nice coffee.

Quirky little place, worth a visit. Nice brekky roll and coffee.

Delicious food and coffee (great beans and milk used). Cool tunes and retro theme. The owner takes care with sustainability, locally sourced produce and great service.

What’s fantastic business tucked away. if only I knew about it sooner. Bloody good coffee and set up. Had a horrid order of 6 different coffees and 6 different milks in peak hour and the cafe owner was kind and caring to everyone stuck waiting. Do yourself a favor and head here for a great coffee!

Great coffee, interesting conversations with the owner and quirky decor accompanied by classic vinyl nostalgic records playing in the background

Seriously the BEST Reuben i have ever had, loved it. Great friendly service, super clean, warm, well presented café with funky retro décor. will definitely be back 🤩

Super coffee in a cute and interesting place.

Excellent coffee!! Happy I found this little gem. It is tucked away, gorgeous scents of freshly cooked cakes and toasties hit you as you walk inside, very understated decor featuring Australian landscapes, games neatly aside for customers to use - they all seemed eco friendly. The coffee cup was biodegradable, and I noticed they used local brands such as Paris Creek Milk and The Tea Catcher tea. Overall fantastic and glad I took a chance on the little place and walked in. It’s cosy and calm in there.

Unfortunately I missed this little gem when I was a regular visitor to the area. Today, while running errands I finally found this little gem, Lampshade Cafe. Very cool, very retro, quiet and cozy. I am loving the coffee.

Great atmosphere. Friendly and welcoming staff. Chris' carrot cake delicious. Enjoyed reading his friend Tohby's book. Laughed out loud. It's a place one wants their loved ones to experience. Will definitely be going back. Oh great coffee!

Love this place, and the guy who runs it is an absolute champion! Hot tip, you can grab refillable dawn patrol coffee beans here too!

Somerton Park’s best kept secret.
One of coolest little cafes in adelaide with probably the best coffee, and run by someone who seriously knows their stuff.
There aren’t many places where you can get really great coffee, a traditional New York Reuben, all the while being wowed by the eclectic record collection that the owner is spinning every time you go in.
