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.

I loved Shaika before .. & I really love Shaika now! Had lunch there today .Falafel sandwich on a Portuguese bun .. was fresh & delicious & we will definitely be back. You should also know it's wonderfully affordable & probably a great option for families.. & you can get your food & go picnic in the park! Win win!! So happy they have reopened.

I had the most delicious Harvard sandwich, it comes with a side of salad! The inside & outdoor terrace is lovely! You feel very welcomed when you walk in.

Absolutely dynamite mix of Portuguese & Greek sandwiches/salads, plus coffee & breakfast items. Plus cocktails. & it's all...affordable?! The staff is super friendly, & we got a chance to chat with the owner, who went over the top in making sure we were taken care of. & had a great sense of humor. All around great experience!

I'm so glad Shaika is back!! They came back with the same charm, slightly updated.
The Old Orchard sandwich was delicious (& a generous portion). Now I have to go back for a coffee & piece of red velvet cake.

They also told me they're reincorporating comedy/open mic nights soon!

My favourite neighbourhood spot, we were missing them.

Long-ago review! I used to love their marbled cake, their salads & sandwiches, the warm vibes... but that was long ago... now I see that they're announcing the re-opening! I'm looking forward to seeing if it's restoring an oldie-but-a-goodie in the area, rekindling wonderful memories of music & art in days past, or if they'll be trying to create new love from scratch! Either way, I'm excited! Here's to whatever they become!
