Only been here once but it was really solid. Latte didn't need sugar it wasn't bitter at all. Good vibe. Ice chai was great. Will be back

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!!

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!
