Bit overpriced - Edit
We tried their vegan brunch and it was a bit of a letdown. The scrambled tofu was very bland and the pancakes had a weird consistency. The chips were lovely! It’s also slightly overpriced.
Read moreStaff were kind and spoke English. Menu has vegan options but they’re not labelled very clearly (no icons, have to read desc or names).

Top vegane Auswahl - Edit
Sehr gute Auswahl an veganen Speisen.
Read moreDer vegane Wrap ist sehr scharf.
Das Avocado Süßkartoffel Sandwich war sehr gut.
Die Schokobowl mit Toppings soviel man möchte ein wahrer Genuss.
Auch haben sie Mandel- und Kokosmilch.

Expensive and flavorless, but healthy - Edit
Nice if you want some healthy, fresh food in between pizza and pasta. Sadly, the food was fine, not good. We tried the vegan bowl, croissant and two smoothies. Probably wouldn’t go back unless for the “make your own” salad bar.

Only got a bagel to go - Edit
I actually only got a bagel to go, which was good but I suggest to ask them to heat it up as I think it will taste better if a little bit warm.
Read moreActually open hours change from season to season and when I went there it was closing even if hours said otherwise, staff was kind enough to give me the bagel and explain me the situation.
I went to other parlors of the same franchise and loved them, so probably I would have loved this place too if I had the opportunity to try it in a better way.

cornetti, tramezzini and more - Edit
i was amazed by the fact that they had two different vegan cornetti to choose from, they were unlike any pastry i have ever tasted before. sweet but light and pillowy at the same time, perfect with an almond capuccino for breakfast. they also have vegan sandwiches, bowls and burritos (haven‘t tried them though) and fresh juices which are awesome.
Read morePros: clearly marked options, cornetti to die for, easy to find

Really delicious vegan banana bread - Edit
The service was friendly and the food yummy. We got the choc banana bread and loved it. We also had fresh orange juice. The only downside this day was that their glasses were a bit dirty? And so were the straws (we didnt ask for them), next time i would just take a look at the glasses and let them know.
Read moreCons: Give you straws

Good vegan affortable food - Edit
I came to this Shake Cafe location and I was really impressed with the amount of vegan options it had, considering it's not even a veg place. Everything is clearly marked vegan and the ingredients in each dish are listed. The prices are very affordable too, especially in comparison with the other restaurants around. I had the vegan bowl and it was very fresh and tasty.

Quick with many options - Edit
Quite a good little café! Went there twice. Quick in service amd many options.
Read moreFirst day, the employees got a little overwhelmed with the orders and I saw they made some mistakes with some orders including giving me a cappucino instead of a latte, and but it was still with almond milk so I didn't mind too much (maybe new employee?). Second day was better. The almond milk was not good so I got rice the next, much better! They label what is vegan which is good but wish they were more specific labels, like the types of crossiants and what is in the sandwiches(just says "Vegan").
Many options: Vegan crossiants: 3 types: Regular, jam(one couldnt tell me what jam though) and chocolate. Fruit bowls, fruit cups, smoothies, burrito, sandwiches, vegan milks(rice, almond and soy) for various coffees and more.
Will send them an email to
- Introduce vegan granola&yoghurt
- Get a better almond milk
- Label a little more :)
- Consider the price of fruit cups(maybe €3 or €3.50 not €4)

Great choices on the go - Edit
We were tired and needed something a little faster before grabbing our train. This was the perfect distance to the train station. We stopped around dinner time and got 3 of the wraps. Both were flavorful in their own way. The vegan and burrito were our favorite. We also got some juice which was good too. They had a lot of smoothie and smoothie bowl options on the menu too. Prices were decent too compared to other places.
Read morePros: Close to train , Lots of options

Good spot for a break - Edit
Came here mid morning. Had a vegan croissant and matcha latte. There were a few plant milk selections to choose from: soy, almond, oat. I enjoyed the matcha (stronger flavour than more places). Did not try but they have bigger food options: Bowl, wrap, sandwich.

Poor cross contamination - Edit
The other branch in Florence is excellent. However I ordered from the salad bar at this branch and the guy used the chicken tongs to pick up my tofu.

Amazing - Edit
Café with smoothies, bowls, sandwiches, etc. Ordered an vegan sandwich and a raw cacao smoothie; both were great! The staff was friendly and service-oriented. Not too much space inside, and you order at the desk. The cafe was quite crowded, but we got our food quickly.

I can't find shop *edit - Edit
I came here at 8 am because I saw it open at 6 am but I can't find shop anywhere near this area..
Read moreI look around all shop and here is no cafe but just one hotel and cosmetic shop
so I gave up There is another cafe? bar? named 50 rosso(?) in opposite side and they also had vegano croissant and soy latte (though I had americano)
so if you can't find this place like me you can go there instead
*edit
I searched google map and find out what is wrong
Marker at the google pointing at wrong area
You should search this cafe name at google map instead following happy cow map
