Perfect brunch spot - Edit
We had the pancakes and pink smoothie bowl with iced coffees - everything was great! Staff were lovely and the cafe itself was cute. They had a very cute distinguished looking dog too! Would definitely recommend it if you're in panama city.

I'm in love! - Edit
First of all, this restaurant is extremely pretty. Plenty of books and plants. The food was absolutely delicious and all day breakfast is always an advantage. The staff is perfectly lovely. But! The show was stolen by their dog. It's the cutest little angel. I don't find the words to describe how worthy of visiting this place is.

Nice place with moderate food - Edit
This place is really cute and nicely decorated. However, the food was rather mediocre and well overpriced for what it is. The staff was “ok”, but we would not come back here. We also did not like the small (but cute) dog running around begging for food once we got our plates. The staff obviously saw that we don’t want to have the dog close to us but did not do anything.

Cons: Mediocre food, Dog begging for food

Vegan Shack is a Winner - Edit
The food was delicious. The service was great. The vibe was fantastic! We chatted long after eating, undisturbed. The owner chatted with us when we finally indicated we wanted the check. It was perfect in every way. This was my 3rd visit and each of the others was great as well. This is a Winner!

A happy place - Edit
I felt so relaxed and happy here. A super cute dog was bouncing around; friendly owner: really good food - we had tofu scramble which had some lovely sides with it. Also had a cookie and coffee afterwards (moved from our table to a sofa at the back where there were some tarot cards) as we didn’t want to leave!

Vegan restaurant at Casco Viejo - Edit
This was the only vegan restaurant I found on HappyCow in this area by the time I visited Casco Viejo. It's a pretty nice cafe. I ordered the Abundance bowl and the watermelon lemonade, very refreshing.

Blown away - Edit
Has to be on your list in Panama. The owner was lovely, the food was fantastic and full of flavor. I woulda liked a little more but thats also because it was super delicious. Had a dip to start and some sliders for the main.

Closed both times I went - Edit
I went two days in a row during opening hours and both times it was closed. So either temporatily/permanently closed or randomly closing/opening. Disappointing, as no warning on instagram.

Soooo good - Edit
I had the chunky monkey shake and the breakfast burrito. I also tried the attraction hamburgers. Everything tasted (and was) homemade. It was nice to have a full vegan menu, as options in this city can be limited.

So disappointing - Edit
Maybe I had high expectations because it’s supposed to be one of the best place on this app. The vibe was weird, the staff wasn’t very friendly. I thought a vegan restaurant was supposed to be eco friendly but not here, the AC was very strong with the double door wide open. I had the breakfast tofu sandwich which looks way better in pictures. The bread was more moist than crispy, I had the paste of pesto only on one third, the taste was just blend. When I went to pay, in addition to be written on the check/receipt, the waitress asks if you want to add tips. Everybody knows that they can tip at restaurants, if they want to, no need to write it and ask for it.

Lovely Environment with Delicious Food! ¡Ambiente encantador con comida deliciosa! - Edit
The Vegan Shack feels like home… only better. It is very stylish and welcoming. We had a smoothie and a café latte for beverages, and this was the best café latte that I’ve had in my 2 weeks in Panama. I was craving oatmeal, and it was hearty with lots of fruit that laid beautifully on top. The avocado toast and tofu scramble were also delicious. Their service was wonderful, especially the little dog, Peque. ❤️
Read moreThe Vegan Shack se siente como en casa... sólo que mejor. Es muy elegante y acogedor. Tomamos un batido y un café latte para tomar bebidas, y este fue el mejor café con leche (de soja) que he probado en mis 2 semanas en Panamá. Tenía antojos de avena, y era abundante con mucha fruta que quedaba maravillosamente encima. La tostada de aguacate y el revuelto de tofu también estaban deliciosos. Su servicio fue maravilloso, especialmente el perrito, Peque.
Pros: Everything

Adorable - Edit
Cute restaurant tucked into a side street in Casco Viejo. The owner was very kind and spoke perfect English. We ordered the spring salad, cozy in a bowl (oatmeal), watermelon lemonade, and cappuccino. Very much enjoyed the food and the watermelon lemonade was delightfully refreshing after being out in the heat.
