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.

Absolutely lovely place!
The staff are super nice & friendly, & everything tastes yummy!
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.

Top-class coffee beans used here. Their cake slices are HUGE for 9.99$ & made with quality ingredients I can tell. Well worth the price. Staff was super friendly & accomodating. Will def come back!

I'm so glad Shaika is back!! I went to support. I got a slice of their carrot cake & a feijao (a little tarte with sweet bean paste I think? It was very good!). The carrot cake is moist & decadent. I got both to go, but I can't wait to sit down & try the coffee!

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!
