Fresh and delicious

Went with the family for some coffee and smoothie bowls. Everything on the menu looked good, and the coconut coffee latte was refreshing and yummy. The bowl was more than I could eat, but a great way to start the day. Nice ambiance and view of water/beach. Very nice staff.

Nice smoothies

Delicious smoothies. Bowl was nice, too. They did not have all the items listed in the menu, for many main dishes it was "sorry we dont have any more". (Beginning of off season, 3rd may)

Filet No Fish

Been here last year, a bit expensive but good for snacks.
Drinks were not really enjoyable. I had a kiwi fruit and soda. It was just sour!
But as I looked around I saw many others also not finishing their drinks. All very colorful and looks great.
Had the vegan fish, nice bun, soft and fresh, salad and ample filling, but not very tasty to me. The fish was disappointing, crispy and brown exterior and crunchy but the rest of it was just mushy and tasteless!

Pros: Quick Service , Wide selection of drinks and snacks , Central location

Cons: Tasteless food , drinks only look good!, Poor toilet facilities , Hard seating, fast-food focus on quick turnover

אחלה מקום, קצת יקר ביחס לתאילנד

הפנקייק הורוד מעולה והולך טוב עם קפה קר על חלב קוקוס.
הנוף לים מוסיף מאוד, מקום כיפי לשבת בו, שירות טוב.
קצת יקר ביחס לתאילנד, 330 באט לפנקייקים וקפה אחד, אבל שווה לדעתי את התמורה.

Good food but do they forget customers?

Visited many times during my holiday.
Some of their smoothie bowls are excellent and some others not so.

I would give you advise:
when you make order and you get your food- ask same time bring check please. You eat your meal and take the cup (invoice in it) to the counter desk and pay. If you dont do it, you will find yourself sitting there very long time without getting any customer service from waitress/waiters.

Restaurant has potential but customer service could be better managed.

Pros: Location, Some smoothie bowls

Cons: Their customer service, Some smoothie bowls dont have favour

Good option near the beach

They were out a few items when we were there, but smoothie bowl was good. Tempeh sandwich was small. They do accept credit cards.

Great breakfast!

While the smoothie bowl (with a dragonfruit) was a perfect choice for my breakfast, their non-sweet breakfast features lots of proteins (tofu, mushrooms, beans) being another great option for vegans. Friendly staff and super convenient location. Definitely loved Shaka!

Good smoothie bowl but bland tempeh dish

Appreciated the many options (many of which looked amazing) but we were disappointed by the tempeh rendition of eggs benedict - it basically had no flavor. When we added hot sauce, it improved. However, the banana smoothie bowl was very good!

Delicious food

German:
Das kleine Restaurant hat eine schöne Lage und das Essen ist ausgezeichnet. Wir waren 6 Tage in Krabi und haben jeden Tag dort gegessen. Eine schöne Auswahl von Bowles über Smoothies bis zu Burger mit selbstgemachte Bun.
Alles rund um lecker.

English:
The small restaurant has a beautiful location, and the food is excellent. We stayed in Krabi for six days and ate there every day. A lovely selection ranging from bowls and smoothies to burgers with homemade buns.
Everything was simply delicious.

Chaotic service, good offer

It seems a bit messy organized, things come in random orders and mealss not together. The selection is great, we had a breakfast bowl with fresh fruits and a breakfast platter. The bowl was generous and fresh, the breakfast platter okeyish, the beans were not well cooked (decided to not eat thme) and the scrambled tofu a bit bland. Would be great if they would offer some more simple, cheap things such as toast with jam -

Pros: Selectiom, Location

Cons: Chaotic service

Solid Option

Good choices, nice place, decent location. Service was slow, portion sizes were small and it’s no bargain!

Beachside vegan food!

Good food, although the portion sizes could be a little larger for their price it's a nice spot and most accessible vegan restaurant in Ao Nang

Sehr lecker, bunt, frisch abwechslungsreich

Es war sehr lecker, nicht günstig, aber frisch und schön zubereitet. Es hat uns allen drei sehr gut geschmeckt. Werden wieder hin gehen.
Update, deshalb 1 Stern weniger als davor: 1 Tag später gleiches gericht: tempehtation: nur noch 2 tempehstücke, anstelle 4 und sonst war das Gericht kleiner. Wir sprachen das personal drauf an: - ist ja auch nicht ganz günstig… wir hätten gestern wohl Zuviel bekommen, heute nur 2 stk. Spargel war auch aus. Erst als wir fragten, ob es eine Alternative gibt, bot der Koch Pilze an.
somit stimmt das eine Foto nicht ganz.

Good but not great

Shaka has a few locations around Asia and we loved the Bohol, Philippines one! Unfortunately this location has smaller portions and is a bit under seasoned. The tempeh bowl especially was disappointing and only had a few small pieces of tempeh. We loved the vibe and friendly staff, but we’re still hungry after our meal.

Not worthy

The plates are beautiful and the staff is really kind, but under my opinion the plates are really overpriced and the portions are really small.

My gf ordered an açai bowl (bom dia 2.0) and it was a mixed berries smothie without açai flavour, I ordered a Grilled mushroom and vegetable rice bowl with tempeh and it was nice but it only had 2 small pieces of tempeh, I asked If I could buy more protein because it wasn’t enough and they kindly offered me giving me one more portion for free, but still was a very small portion, especially when the prices here are at least 2 times what they cost elsewhere.

Amazing

Wonderful vegan restaurant right along the beach. Owner has few locations in other areas/countries I believe. We loved the pancakes and wraps/sandwiches. They have a nice coffee/smoothie bowl breakfast deal as well

My favourite place in Thailand so far

Amazing food, the Mexican burger was my favourite so much so I’m going back later to try the pasta in cheese sauce and mushrooms. It’s great knowing I can order anything from the menu

Pros: Taste!, Taste! , Being able to eat anything from menu

Completely vegan beachfront place

One of the few completely vegan options in Ao Nang in a great beachfront location. Extensive menu and the dishes are served very nicely. I had the pancakes, unfortunately one was a bit burnt. My husband had the jackfruit burger. Very friendly staff. You can't tell from the outside of the location that Shaka is completely vegan.

Pros: Completely vegan, Beachfront , Friendly staff
