We had 2 toasties, the all cheese and the club toastie - they were DELICIOUS! Was super busy in there but we got seated immediately despite that and served in no time at all.

Impressive - Edit
Had a nice menu with lots of different vegan options to choose from and some unique items you don’t get elsewhere very often (e.g. fake “salmon”, mango lassi, protein smoothie). Food was good and served quickly. Also a range of sweet treats to choose from and small selection of grocery items. It looks like it would be hard to find a table a lot of the time. We enjoyed our food and drinks here.

Treat yourself - Edit
Probably the best vegan restaurant I've been to to date! All of the food is so damn delicious and there are is so much to explore on the menu. The Breaky Bun toasted sandwich with BBQ pulled jackfruit and the Chia Waffles with cashew gelato and peanut butter are phenomenons in their own right. Seriously go treat your soul and stomach and taste buds to this experience. You will regret nothing and leave feeling in love with your veganism.
Read morePros: Also sell take home products for your own cooking., Plastic aware and take away is biodegradable. , Beautifully friendly staff.
Cons: Expense is only a con cos I can't afford it daily.

Get the Reuben Sandwich! Welcoming service - Edit
Originally came to get the 'bacon and egg' bagel but apparently they sell out usually by lunch time (I will keep this in mind next time) but ordered plan B - the reuben sandwich, it was to die for. Thank you fate. Definitely will be back when I am visiting Sydney next. Was nice to see a all vegan sandwich bar pumping on a work day too. And loved the little explanations on the menu about shifting the way the world eats. Please open a store in brisbane!
Read morePros: Lots of house made Ingredients, Great service, Big servings

Great filling food! - Edit
Love the sandwiches here. Love the Reuben and the Join the club. Made with mock meats, it’s so yummy it can fool any non-vegan! Brownies and donuts are irresistible. Only downfall is it’s so popular it can be hard to eat in during peak times.

Amazing vegan food and great service - Edit
Enjoyed Sunday breakfast with my kids who had the waffles and salted caramel smoothies and I had the smoky baked beans with avo smash. Bought a few vegan snacks for the road. The only criticism is the cafe is too small!

Visiting Sydney for the footy and have made it my mission to spend my hard-earned on completely vegan establishments while we’re here.
Read moreVisited Shift more than three years after our last trip to Sydney and managed to get the last bacon and egg bagel before they sold out - and I now know why they’re so sought after - amazing!
My daughter had a meatball sub and raved about it. I don’t think we’ll need lunch…

My favourite vegan cafe - Edit
Definitely a must visit for any vegan in Sydney. It is especially good for bringing people who are unsure of vegan food because you get a lot of “meaty” items without the meat. Honestly everything on their menu is good and the staff are very friendly. Their coffee alone (which is made with macadamia milk) is enough to keep me coming back.
Read morePros: Phenomenal food, Fantastic coffee , Friendly staff
