Best vegan cafe we've been to. Amazing menu, delicious food and lovely staff. Plus good selection of products to take home. Watched a non-vegan walk out when he found out there was no cow milk. His loss! Please try this place even if you aren't vegan!

Seems like a nice spot for a coffee catchup. Unfortunately, the portion sizes are small for the price. The “big” bad bowl only had 3 small pieces of falafel with half the bowl being leaves, some rice and beans. The beetroot hummus and beans were nice though. The mushroom toastie was pretty small and thin.

I had ‘The best vegan bacon & egg bagel in the world’ that lives up to its name & the fudge brownie that should probably be renamed to ‘ the best vegan fudge brownie in the world’ because my god it was perfect and I wish I’d bought 10.. next time! Also coffee was lovely!

Visited Shift Eatery for breakfast and had a really great experience. The atmosphere was nice and cozy, and the food quality was amazing. Everything here is completely vegan, which makes this place unique and interesting. The most surprising part was how real the vegan chicken and beef tasted. The texture and flavour were incredibly close to actual meat. Even if you are not vegan, this place is definitely worth trying for its delicious and creative food options.

Vegan egg bagel was delicious. Add on cheddar cheeze for a real treat + oat chai. Way more toppings and sauce than previous times I’ve ordered. 100% would order again regularly 🙏 Ate too quick to take a photo Update: Visited here again for a holiday treat, the photo is their schnitzel club sandwich. Omg 🤤🤤 the toast was like french toast. The fluffiest savoury but sweet toast. Extra sauce and toppings. Love your work guys ❤️

Absolutely loved my experience at Shift Eatery. The food was delicious, we ordered a big breakfast style dish and a toastie, and everything was fresh, flavourful, and really satisfying. You can tell a lot of care goes into the menu. What really stood out to me though was the atmosphere. It’s so refreshing to visit a café that’s not just plant based, but actively promotes animal rights. The messaging, stickers, and overall ethos make it feel like a space with real purpose, not just great food. The staff were also incredibly friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend, I’ll definitely be back.

The quality of the bread and bagel was outstanding but the fillings weren't as good. Everything needed punching up with flavour. We got the their vegan bacon and egg bagel and it was fine. Had much better. The egg didn't have any flavour and the texture wasn't great. Reubens Vegan Brother, Steve was a decent size and texturally great but lacked any defining or memorable flavour. Avo toast needed seasoning too, however, the blueberry and pear muffin was fantastic as was the mint choc truffle. Staff were lovely and it was nice sitting out in the sun 🌞

I had the most incredible meal at Shift Café and I’m still thinking about it. The bowl I ordered was absolutely packed with flavour, colour and freshness — every element tasted vibrant and thoughtfully prepared. The balance of textures, the creamy dressings, the perfectly seasoned falafels, the sauerkraut, avocado, rice and all the little extras… it was wholesome, nourishing and deeply satisfying without feeling heavy. You can tell real care goes into the food here. It felt like eating something that was genuinely good for me while still being completely indulgent in flavour. I loved every bite. Beautiful atmosphere, great service, and food that makes you want to come straight back. Highly recommend.
