Shift Eatery

On our first visit, we got a Sandwich and a salmon bagel and it was incredible!
Especially the salmon bagel surprised me, so simple yet unbelievably delicious.
We went there again the next day. Though the bacon and egg bagel is not quite as good as the salmon one, their coffee was really great!
I also really love the vibe in there and the staff is very polite and helpful.

One of the best vegan brunch spots in Sydney. Hard to critique as it has a wide menu with something for everyone, tasty dishes, and good coffee. I'm a regular and highly recommend!

Known for their housemade vegan substitutes, though there are also dishes that are more whole-food plant-based. I enjoyed the food I tried, and the extremely friendly and helpful staff left an impression on me! Really appreciated how their menu catered to people with all preferences - it was clearly labelled with gluten-free, nut-free, and even allium-free options. Cosy small space with indoor and outdoor seating available. There was also a small retail corner. Note that the cafe has a 10% surcharge on weekends and 15% surcharge on public holidays.

Absolutely loved our experience at this eatery. Delicious coffee, pastries, and we all loved our sandwiches. We will definitely be back next time we are in town!

I'm not a vegan, but you don't have to be one to enjoy the food here. After briefly talking to the friendly staff member about what was available, I ordered a small flat-white with oat-milk, a vegan salmon bagel, and a piece of Biscoff cheesecake.

The coffee was very nice, the oat-milk paired well with it. The vegan salmon bagel was delicious, after my meal I asked what the ersatz salmon actually was, to be told that it was marinated tomato. The Biscoff cheesecake was quite enjoyable, a perfect ending to my meal. If you haven't tried eating at a vegan restaurant, Shift Eatery would be an ideal introduction. Recommended.

Whilst I'm not a vegan, my mate is so he took me here for my first brekky in Sydney. I'm writing this review on my second time here, so clearly he was onto something!

There's something immensely satisfying with being able to order things as is from a menu. No substitutions. The fact their standard milk for their coffee is oat milk means I don't need to a change a thing.

The toasted sandwiches are amazing. Macarons too. Prices are what you'd expect but for a slap up, healthy meal with no nasties, worth treating yourself.

perfect place to grab a sandwich before heading to the beach. i got the mushroom toastie and loved it (pesto so good). wish i tried more sandwiches/coffee but it happened to be closed for the rest of my time in sydney

Truly, A Vegan Buzzzzz.!!!
It was my first time in Sydney and enjoyed an early morning Vegan breakfast at Shift Eatery.

Vegan pastries, pancakes, salad bowls and much more.

Great place for vegans and also plenty of gluten free options too! I enjoyed the big breakfast, it was so tasty and the chai was just wholesome! I also had the biscoff cake which was amazing! The service was good too and food came out pretty quick. Will come here again when i visit Sydney!

This vegan cafe impressed me with its well-presented and delicious plant-based offerings. The bagels and sandwiches were particularly noteworthy, demonstrating that vegan food can be just as satisfying and flavorful as their meaty counterparts.

One of the standout features here is the ability to enjoy a fully plant-based meal without noticing a significant difference from your favourite meaty dishes. This speaks volumes about the quality and creativity of the menu.

If you're curious about vegan cuisine or simply looking for tasty and satisfying options, this cafe is worth a visit. It challenges preconceived notions about vegan food and offers a delightful experience for all types of eaters.

A lot of nice and tasty vegan options, good coffee, friendly staff and fast service. Will definitely be coming here again!

I ordered the vegan Reuben toasty based on the comments in the reviews, and it didn't disappoint. The flavor was spectacular! I did take away so I had limited interaction with the staff, but the service was great as well. The entire menu looked amazing, and they have some other pre-packaged items for sale. The desserts looked delicious, but sadly I didn't partake. This restaurant is worth visiting!

Best vegan breakfast/brunch I’ve had this year ! It beat all my expectations

I'm so glad I found this gem near my hotel!
This place is so relaxing, welcoming and friendly and as someone who is really picky about his food, the food was absolutely delicious!
The staff are always friendly and ready to answer every question you might have regarding the food or any other recommendations.
Thank you! 🧡

Shift is my go to cafe when in Sydney! The staff are lovely and the food is DELICIOUS! Can't more highly recommend them!

I made the poke bowl my order and I'm glad I did. It had a fantastic seasoning and was quite filling. I also ordered hot chocolate, which is fine if you don't like sweet beverages. I was glad to discover a nearby vegan and gluten-free-friendly restaurant because I can't eat gluten.

Wow, talk about hidden in plain sight.

Don't miss this cafe style eatery.
Huge range of vegan food and vegan drinks.
Coffee, shakes, smoothies, juices, the lot.

I really hope the shift eatery presents a needed shift in dining choices for a cleaner, kinder and more sustainable future.

The customer service was exceptional and I was proud to notice the barista wearing a sea Shepard jumper.

My house made vegan bacon and egg roll, understandably sells out daily.

The vegan new your cheesecake was too rich for breakfast but it looked so good I couldn't miss my brief opportunity in Sydney.

I took a vegan meatball and house made marinara sub to go for lunch and to was great,
I really enjoyed the plant-based parmesan cheese

Funky shirts for sale also

Fantastic ❤

Hands down the best vegan bagel I’ve ever had in my entire life and so well priced. Definitely put this one on the list for your trip or if you’re a local. :-)

Really enjoyed the food here! Had the tofu toasted sandwich and the dirty chai. Looking forward to trying other things on the menu (especially the carrot/Biscoff cake and the muffins)! Only thing was the music was quite loud but otherwise lovely.

Best vegan breaky in Sydney. There are hardly any fully vegan options in city, so we were thrilled to find this place! It was worth the 20 min walk from our hotel just to go there. The staff were lovely, and the menu was great for breakfast and lunch. They also had a good range of deli options, such as various vegan cheeses. Also the Biscoff cheesecake was amazing. We loved everything about it!
