Beautiful vegan oasis - Edit
Just a minute walk from Rydges Central where I was staying. A great little place with fridge and freezer stocked with small goods and a delicious looking slice and cake cabinet. The menu is diverse, you can be healthy or cheesy or something in between. Nice vibe, good prices, friendly staff and good music. Fantastic!

Taste Sensation - Edit
The Mushroom toast was incredible - lots of large bits of mushroom, pesto i think, vegan cheese and tartare sauce. Yummy! The bread could be a bit nicer and there was slightly too much fat on the outside of it for my liking, but nothing that would prevent me from ordering it again as it was delicious! 😋 I also had the coconutty bliss ball and it was yummy but more of a fig/date taste rather than chocolate. Nice though, probably will try the donuts next time. I did find a short black hair in my mushroom sandwich but it was a busy time so I’ll let it pass this time... should be more careful though coz 🤢
Read morePros: Very convenient if in transit and in a hurry, Quick service, Yummy!
Cons: Tiny space

Great spot for brekky - Edit
Had a fantastic meal at Shift Eatery - a really well made coffee and my smokey baked beans were absolutely delicious. Everything that came out of the kitchen looked incredible, and if I wasn't so full I'd have definitely been tempted by the yummy treats at the counter.
Read morePros: All vegan menu!, Good range
Cons: Gets busy - you might need to wait for a table

Really yummy food - Edit
I ate here 3 times during my 2 week holiday in Sydney. Lovely food and good service. I really enjoyed the big bad bowl and my husband and friends sampled quite a few of the toasted sandwiches and other bowls which all looked really good too.

Super impressed - Edit
Shift Eatery was a major surprise! We visited this sweet little cafe/grocer a few months ago and really enjoyed the delicious tasty vegan food and even returned to buy some groceries! We absolutely loved the overall modern style of the cafe & were surprised at how tasty the food was. I chose one of the toasters with melty vegan cheese while my husband chose the Big Bad Bowl. This place is insta worthy! We left feeling nourished and extremely satisfied.
Read morePros: Lots of delicious food options, Tasty treats are offered as well

Super delicious Vegan food - Edit
I've eaten inside and outside. Even though it's centrally located in busy Surrey Hills, it feels like a little oasis away from the crowd...although it has it's own crowd. A very popular cafe due to many amazing choices, all too good to pass up. Be prepared for several visits so you can try everything haha.
Read morePros: Great location, clean cafe and friendly staff, Delicious Vegan food - a must try., Offering 3 great discounts with My vegan Vouchers

Absolutely delicious - Edit
I went to this place every week for two month after they opened: everything I tried was top notch deliciousness.
Read moreThe mushroom cheese toastie is my favorite (the kale pesto makes it so tasty), while my partner has a crush on Steve (Reuben's brother) which fills him up really well.
The brekky bun is great, and as big as a burger.
I also love their smoothies and their cakes (lemon tart is to die for) as well as the nuttie doughnuts.
Special mention for the dirty chai, with macadamia milk, the best I've ever had.
Service is very nice too, even when they're swamped with people (people line up at lunch time for a table).
Pros: Tasty menu and dishes originality, Very good coffee, dirty chai + has macadamia milk, Delicious sweet treats
Cons: Already too small to accommodate all clients, Nicer outside of lunch hours, quieter, The outdoor sitting area could use some shade

The rave reviews don't lie! - Edit
Tucked down a side street in Surry Hills in a very unassuming way, Shift Eatery is a wonderful surprise. Kind, friendly, upbeat and helpful staff, a good selection of all vegan dishes and mouthwatering tastes. A great addition to the growing selection of vegan breakfast hangouts but a pretty good choice for lunching too. To trump it all, cold and freezer cabinets with a good range of vegan products to take home.

AMAZING sandwiches!! - Edit
I am always returning to Shift Eatery whenever I can because of how simple yet amazing their sandwiches are. My favourites are the Shroom Toastie and all of their jackfruit sandwiches. The servings aren't too small either, i'm usually very comfortably full after finishing. Their drink range is also great as well as the amazing vegan desserts. They also have an amazing deli full of vegan ingredients such as cheese, ice cream, spreads. Be sure to bring a cooler bag if you want to transport any goodies home!
Read morePros: amazing vegan sandwiches, amazing desserts, very friendly staff

Contentment - Edit
Shift Eatery has inspired me to open a vegan cafe / deli in Melbourne, as we are missing this in the southern suburbs. I absolutely loved this place. So many choice but opted for smashed avocado as usual... with cream cheese and kale pesto. So tasty and fresh. I sat and ate, drank the berry smoothie and a coffee and contemplated how many more things I could try in one sitting - blissful.
