Good food but very slow service

I only had a smoothie bowl as I wasn’t that hungry at that point. Originally I wanted to try the pancakes but they were out of pancakes for that time. I read in other reviews that happens more often. The bowl itself was good however I asked if you order at the table or at the bar. They told be at the table. I waited quite long, nobody came, then I ordered at the bar. Waited really long again for the smoothie bowl.
Some of the staff was only sitting around while one girl had to do all the work by herself it seemed like.

Good food but items unavailable

Really enjoyed their bean shakshouka but was disappointed that many menu items were unavailable on the day we visited. No mushrooms, tempeh etc.

Nori bowl rocks. Big Breakkie

Indoor and outdoor seating.
Varied menu.
Definitely order at counter or you will wait ages to have your order taken. The food prep takes a while too, so be prepared to wait.

The big breakkie includes lots of components and is nutritionally balanced. I love the mushrooms they put on it!! All the listed components are included so ignore the 'your choice of' in the description.
Nori bowl is my new fave, it is generous, tasty and fun and you feel great after eating it.

They bring a glass of iced water with every meal which is nice. Also have free wifi.

Colleagues enjoyed the fish burger and lasagne.

Nice but less options than usual

It was nice to eat at Shaka, the only issue was that due to New Year, there were less options available from the menu. Still good.

Cute little cafe

Burgers were good - little heavy on the mushrooms, but they were good and only medium sorta expensive.

Hits and Misses

Shaka offers a vibrant atmosphere and healthy vegan options. The standout was their loaded nachos, perfect for sharing. The vegan lasagna** was also satisfying with its rich and creamy sauce. However, the falafel lacked the usual spiced chickpea flavor, and the lattes were a bit underwhelming. Overall, a good spot for casual vegan dining, but some dishes might need a taste tweak.

Decent

The food is decent, if a little pricey. I cont the sloppy José, which I liked but thought it could have had more depth of flavour.

Grab Delivery!

Thank goodness for Grab Delivery! The restaurant at my hotel was getting old with their limited options so I was psyched to get a bunch of stuff delivered, including breakfast! Everything was yumm

Amazing burger and drinks

I had an amazing veggie burger with fries and tomato jam. I would buy jars of that tomato jam. The coffee was amazing, as were the smoothies. Overall loved it!! So cute inside and staff was really nice.

Pros: Tomato jam, Amazing coffee, Good variety

Pricey but solid

Shaka’s prices are basically what you would expect for a nice vegan place in the heart of BGC, but I found myself a bit disappointed. A lot of the food served at our table came a bit lukewarm. For the price we would have at least expected them to get the temperature right. It was still yummy though - can especially recommend the stroganoff and burgers.

Nice flavors, wholesome menu options

The birria tacos and fysh burger were really tasty. The burger bun was healthier than a regular one and there were lots of other healthy and colorful options on the menu too. They make a great oat latte and have quality loose leaf tea too.

I really liked sitting upstairs overlooking the dog park. A nice place to chill out and to eat too!

The REAL Deal for sure.

The Pinkakes are even delicious plain because they are sweetened. The hot fruity topping is slightly tart so the combination is perfect. The acai smoothie bowl is excellent with sweet granola and mango slices and coconut. I ordered Grab. The beetroot-watermelon juice size is about 300ml.

Pros: Pancakes, Smoothie bowl, Sustainable packaging

Life saver!

Shaka was a real life-saver on my trip. Don’t need to think or overly scrutinize the menu as everything is vegan. We ate here several times and enjoyed everything. The big breakfast really hit the spot. Still a new vegan and this was my first time having a tofu scramble. A must stop for any plant eater.

Go here

Food was amazing, service also good, I got the big breakfast and iced latte. Nice environment as well. Location on Happy Cow is wrong but it’s around the corner so just use Google maps to find.

The only fully plant based restaurant I've found in BGC

I've eaten there twice recently, having The Stack and also Mango and Red Bean Curry. Both were very tasty. Also has vegan cakes.

Pros: The entire menu is vegan, Friendly staff

Lacking in flavour.

Everything on the menu is lacking in flavour and seasoning. Most of the dishes are cooked with sugar.

Pros: Being plant-based.

Healthy, cozy cafe and restaurant

They offer nice and filling breakfast, whether savory or sweet plus they are known for their smoothie bowls and parfaits. The place is very cozy, nice to hangout at. They serve a nice selection of international lunch and dinner meals too.
