What a fantastic sandwich. The bread, crispy, floury & timeless. The steak & blue cheese enhanced by some house sauce that is obviously a well kept secret. Reasonably priced. Go try it!

Just as cosy as the old Shaika's. It has a bigger menu. Different but amazing sandwiches on Portuguese extremely fresh buns, a little crispy on the outside.
The marinated pork sandwich was so delicious. We also had The Sherbrooke, ham, goat cheese & avocado, so good. We shared a grilled veggie plate & it was very tasty. We will definitely be going back to try their desserts they looked so fresh, especially the Natas😋
I'm so happy it has reopened.

Delightfully surprised!! We were walking our dog around Girouard Park last evening & I mentioned that I'd never seen the Shaika cafe before. The tables outside were full of people, & it had a nice vibe; turns out, it had only just re-opened under new management last month, having been closed for about five years. I intentionally walked past again today & even with rain, the place was full, with a short line-up for take-out orders. By 4:00, my daughter & I were happily seated, drinking (me) an espresso, & (her) a brandy coffee - they were both hits! Then we devoured a piece of moist, rich cheesecake! Seeing the meals coming out of the kitchen (not to mention the extraordinary low prices!), we have vowed to return soon!
Here's to great ambience, super-friendly staff, terrific music, delicious food & drink, & more than reasonable prices..!!
New fave spot, unlocked! We'll be back, soon!!
