We‘ve been here 3 times!

We loved it. I only had amazing Smoothie bowls and my friend also had a good burrito and a bowl which was the only thing she did not really like.

Great option in Old Town

Nice establishment in Panama's Old Town. My bowl was rich, with both the sauce and the rice noodles very tasty.
The watermelon lemonade was quite small for the price.
In the front room the aircon works but in the back room it was really hot, so pick your seat well🪑

Pros: Noodles, Satay sauce

Cons: Small juice, Hot seat

Best in town

A great restaurant that truly understands what can be done with plant-based ingredients.

We had the TLT sandwich, scrambled tofu toast, sushi bowl, and the breakfast sandwich.

All of them were very filling portions, and the service was super fast.

Desperate for a plant based breakfast!

visiting for the first time after 50 years, but as a plant based eater. I was so desperate for a healthy breakfast that was delicious. The Vegan Shack provided that perfectly! It was cozy and they have a really nice menu.

Decent vegan restaurant

I was expecting a bit more after seeing all the 5-star reviews. The noodle bowl was good, but not amazing, noodles were a bit overcooked and they could have used a few more spices. Almond latte was good. Staff was very friendly, prices are okay, 100% vegan, nice place. Visited around lunch time and there weren't many people.

Restaurante con ambiente agradable, precios medios. Comida rica pero toda muy saludable, no esperes sustitutos de carne ni parecidos. Muy recomendable por las opciones que hay en la ciudad

What a Vegan restaurant should be.

Lots of breakfast comfort foods. Been traveling Latin America for a few months and forgot how much I liked tofu scramble. Mellow environment with a nice dog. You won't regret eating here!

Pros: Breakfast foods, Dog, Good vegan environment

Good Vegan Restaurant In Heart of Casco Viejo

Our family dropped lunch here while we were walking around the Casco Viejo area. It was after the lunch hour rush so was very quiet. The owner (?) was very pleasant and attentive. We ordered the hummus appetizer which was good. My wife and son both ordered bowls - my wife was surprised that her bowl had noodles in it. My daughter ordered a burger that was actually 3 small sliders. To be candid, she wasn't crazy about them as she didn't like the texture of the burgers. I ordered the TLT and thought was it was very good. The fries were crispy. We had a brownie and Tahini cookie and both were very good. Their dog was a cutie and came around our table for some attention and hoping that we would drop some food on the floor! It was a very nice restaurant with a good size menu with plenty of vegan options. Very good and would definitely try it again next time we are in town.

Pros: Great number of options, Very good food, Cute Mascot

Lovely spot for a delicious meal

One of our favorite if not our favorite meal in Panama City. We loved the TLT with home fries, the bread was perfectly toasted and filled with deliciousness. The autumn salad was refreshing and filling and tossed with dates, beets, walnuts… The smoothies were great and we finished our meal with a delicious apple crumble. Love you Vegan Shack

Pros: Food, Smoothies , Ambiance and location and service

Cons: Loved everything

My fav place in Panama City

I would eat here every day if I could. I love the tofu scramble, and the Chia pudding is out of this world.

Disappointing for a top reviewed spot

Nice venue in the middle of casco viejo, very tranquil. Food was disappointing, however, and doesn’t compare to the other incredible options we found in Panama City.
We had a rice noodle salad which was a bit uninspired and a TLT sandwich which was pretty flavorless.
It didn’t feel as though much love was poured into that food.

Pros: Zen atmosphere , Adorable dog (shiba inu?)to greet you , Location

Cons: Lack of effort in the dishes , Staff didn’t seem to want to serve us, Ingredients were bog standard

So good we ate here 2 days in a row

Sooo delicious! We are here yesterday and had to come back again just to try another dish from the menu. Yesterday we had the TLT sandwich and noodle stir fry (not pictured) and today we had the breakfast sandwich, chickpea omelet and almond labneh (not pictured). All made with such fresh ingredients too! 10/10

I was so lucky to be staying in Casco Viejo so I was only about a 5 minute walk to this place so got to go several times!
Things I tried:
Waffles, pancakes, halava banana smoothie, scramble jamble platter, matcha latte.

Everything was sooo good!! The staff was really kind and super friendly.
