Definitely recommend!! The staff were so welcoming, they sell little bits of vegan treats in a shop style was the first thing I noticed when I came in. As well as so many delicious looking cakes in the counter. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and helpful and offered me loads of suggestions. You can order through a screen or in person. I was keen to try the omelette and managed to get a table spot outside in the sunshine. The food was delicious!! Nothing crazy original or ingenious but none the less done very well and classic is classic for a reason! Well presented, seasoned and filling. Couldn't be happier. I would love to come back when I'm in Sydney again.

Delicious vegan cafe🫶
I wanted to get a vegan salmon bagel sandwich but they were sold out so I ordered a vegan omelette instead.
It was so delicious! Next time, my order will be a vegan omelet and hot chocolate.
I also bought some carrot cake to take home.
It's so tasty that I end up eating it all in one go, so I wish it was a little smaller🐷

We visited there again recently for breakfast. My favorite omelet was as delicious as ever 🤤
The chocolate chip muffin was also fluffy and delicious, it disappeared in seconds.

Have loved coming to Shift over the many years however, our last visit inspired me to pen down a review. We're so grateful for I believe the owner? who was there to help my husband and I wheel in our pram and also help us to the bathroom so we could change our baby. Not only is the food absolutely delicious, the service of all the staff and atmosphere is just so fun, welcoming and easy. We love your brilliant work and are appreciative of this welcoming and support vegan space.

On another note, HIGHLY recommend the pancakes - oh my lord. It reminds me of the McDonald's hotcakes I used to have when I was young haha. You will eat the whole thing so get a plate per person!!! We also got the club sandwich and bacon and egg bagel. To take away we got a cheeky fudge brownie and caramel slice. Do yourself and favour and get multiple ok?

My go-to vegan cafe. I have been coming here for months now and finally have a chance to leave a review. Love coming here on my own or with my colleagues. Also brought my partner who was so impressed with the food and vibe. When I'm not in the city, I miss and crave this place. My go-to's are the mushroom, club, and tofu sandwiches, and always a choc chip cookie or caramel slice afterwards! I am so happy my friends introduced me to this place!

The Café offers vegan options only and all of them are delicious. Over the past two days, we have been here thrice. To try all the menu options and because they were always so tasty!! The staff is really nice and fast, the drinks are freshly made and tasty as well. Interior could be a little bit more cozy, but there is nothing negative to say shiny the food or drinks. I am amazed

This beautiful café had been on my partner and I's ‘to-try list’ as we’re visiting from Melbourne, and it did not disappoint! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the lovely staff with warm smiles. The food was absolutely delicious and prepared so quickly! I highly recommend this spot. I did notice a few reviews mentioning concerns about the ‘quality’ of food and service, and I’d like to offer a friendly reminder that working in hospitality is not an easy job. We’re all human, and mistakes happen. If there’s an issue with your food, I highly recommend bringing it to the staff's attention right away so they can resolve it, rather than leaving a negative review without giving them the chance to make things right.
This café is dedicated to offering plant-based options that align with their values of sustainability and compassion, so that’s why they wouldn’t offer dairy milk? We look forward to returning to this hidden treasure on our next visit to Sydney. Thank you for making our experience so amazing 🥰

Lovely to find a vegan place! The matcha latte was lovely, the smoothie was enjoyed, the pancakes were light and fluffy. The pesto was really yummy, and the sandwich was enjoyed. I asked for some fruit and they gave me frozen blueberries, which was a little odd temperature wise with the pancakes but I appreciated the effort. It would have been nice if they had some fruit with the pancakes as part of the dish, just syrup and pancakes is not so healthy and boring (hence me giving four and not five stars). Service was fast, seating and ambience was adequate.

Nice menu, with all day breakfast options (omelette, pancakes etc), sandwiches and a couple options of bowls as a healthier option.
My green smoothie was delicious, the omelette super tasty and my black coffee was strong.
Friendly service! Cute little place, not a lot of seating available, but they also do to go and delivery.
