great inner-city eatery - Edit
Tried and would recommend the “join the club”, the “Rueben” and the waffles. All of the meat across the sandwiches seemed to be the same housemade seitan deli slice (except the chicken on the club), which was the only thing it would have been good to see some diversity in. Otherwise, tasty as hell. Great coffee.

Super Bagels - Edit
I was blown away by the 'bacon & egg" bagel. I also loved their cheese toastie. My non-vegan friend was pleasantly surprised at how good eveything was. We went back twice on our 6 day trip!

Vegan Sandwich Galore - Edit
As a Japanese chef, author and founder of Eastern Suburbs cooking school 'Cooking With Yoshiko', I'm usually eating a lot of Japanese food. I really wanted to venture out and try a sandwich from Shift Eatery, as this is not usually something I eat.
Read moreShift Eatery's bread was beautiful sourdough - better for the gut than most breads. My fellow diner and I enjoyed the Reuben's Vegan Brother Steve sandwich and the Ham and Cheese Toastie. They were both great and did not taste overly unhealthy, nor did they lack flavour. We also enjoyed the banana salted caramel smoothie, which was made from a natural date caramel and tasted very clean and refreshing. It is nothing crazy but if you're ever around the area and want a vegan sandwich that isn't just salad, this is the perfect place to go!

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!

Delicious “egg and bacon” bagel - Edit
I ordered a coffee, oj and the egg and bacon bagel. There were some seats outside but also along the bench which was great because I was by myself. The bagel had a great flavour. I really enjoyed it and recommend it. They also had cakes for sale and groceries for sale. I recommend it
