You know its a good cafe when their only problem is that they don't have enough coffee machines to keep up with demand! Keep it up! NDG

Very nice place, very delicious food, prices are very affordable, & I tried the Chai with pistachio milk for the first time in this place, it's a must try.

I'll absolutely come back again & again.

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!

Delicious & darling. I got a salad & a London Fog. They were able to speak English to me (Thank you). The menu outside also had English translations.

I enjoyed my salad & tea before heading to MonTango for a class & Milonga.

I even asked if they carried mints so as to have nice breath while I was dancing. They gave me their personal stick of gum.

If not dancing, I heard some live music coming from the park that you could hear from their patio.

Also, the prices are great!
We ordered many things & were happy with all, from the cocktail to the London fog, from the scone to the salad, all excellent.
So happy that they're back open

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.
