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.

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!!
