Loved this place, great vegan spot - Edit
We tried the big breakie which was a different sort of cooked breakie than we're used to but was really nice, enjoyed the vegan omelette. We also tried a couple of the toasties and my personal fave the lamb tzatziki wrap, beautiful. Would defo recommend it for a quick bite. Oh and the chocolate protein shake was 10/10 👌🏽

Best breaky in town - Edit
After a blistery cold and rainy morning edging my way through the city wrestling for space with misbehaving umbrellas, it was nice to come into a relaxing vibe of the Shift Eatery and a comforting breakfast. The best Decafe soy flat white ever, along with ham and cheese toasty and the must-have Brownie; that just melts in your mouth that takes you back to the time you first experienced chocolate oh such glee.

Vegan sausage was really good too!
I’ve also ordered “MASALA CHAI by SOMA” , I already miss it! It was so good.😆
We’d love to come back and try other dishes ☺️🌱

A Wonderful Vegan Breakfast - Edit
The bacon & egg bagel here truly was the best bacon & egg bagel in the world. I don't think I've ever had a vegan bagel this good and I've definitely had the chance to travel a lot and have a ton of vegan bagels.
Read moreMy son had the go ham toastie and really enjoyed that, too. Their coffee was tasty and I couldn't leave without trying the baked goods, either.
I'd definitely check this place out, it was well worth the visit!

Incredible - Edit
Top rated restaurant in Sydney so was super excited to try. I had the big bowl which was okay. The falafels were pretty dry but the beans were yum. Nice to have a healthier option. I also tried the salted caramel smoothie while expensive it was devine. To takeaway and eat later I had the bacon and egg roll and a caramel slice. Both were absolutely delicious! The sauce on the bagel was so nice. The caramel layer in the slice was so good!

Great spot for that vegan deli experience - Edit
Shift has an awesome range of vegan subs and sandwiches and is the perfect spot for a weekday lunch if you work nearby, or a weekend brunch. I’ve also seen them do great catering for massive groups including the Sydney vegan marches and other activism events.

Amazing! - Edit
Love everything about this place. All the food and drinks were delicious and then they helped us come up with some sandwiches and salads that would last okay for our 12 hour train trip back to Melbourne.

I randomly stumbled into this place and was pleasantly surprised with the food selection. My favorite two items were the “Vacon” lol and the pancakes 🤤. Top 3 best pancakes I’ve had anywhere in the world. Highly recommend.

Pancakes! - Edit
Highly recommend the stack of pancakes. They are very old school. Not the new fancy ones. These were straight out of IHOP!

Love it 💚💚💚💚💚 - Edit
Fantastic Reuben, a proper sandwich with decent amount of filling.
Read moreThe vegan egg and bacon sandwich lives up to its name - The Best Vegan Bacon & Egg Bagel in the World. It sure tastes like it.
Service was super quick and the turn around of tables meant we didn't have to wait long for a seat.
Definitely would go back

Amazing food but horrible service - Edit
I want to give one star but it automatically adds an extra star. The food is AMAZING but the service is horrible. You're supposed to order from a QR code and the host was quite rude about it, but I'm not from Australia so I had no idea that this was even a thing. There are also only four small tables in a cramped space. Incredible food but not worth the rude service imo
