"Over the years, Lampshade has become an integral part of my routine when I visit home from abroad/interstate. Chris has managed to create such a warm and welcoming space where life comes to a standstill. Some of the best coffee you will find in Adelaide. A real gem."

"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."
