Best meal in Panama! - Edit
It’s been a struggle over the last week to find non meat options, especially in the country towards the Darién. Enough of the fries and patacones, please! Vegetables are just an afterthought and often draw a curious look when requested. The Vegan Shack is the perfect oasis of food sanity. The labneh starter, the abundance bowl, health freak juice and crumble dessert were all superb. As good as anything found in my hometown of Austin, Texas. In retrospect, I only wish I had left a larger tip. This review is my penance.
Read morePros: Small, super stylish, soft music & conversation, Each item brings smiles and happiness , Kind owners with silly little dog

Perfect brunch spot - Edit
We had the pancakes and pink smoothie bowl with iced coffees - everything was great! Staff were lovely and the cafe itself was cute. They had a very cute distinguished looking dog too! Would definitely recommend it if you're in panama city.
Read morePopped back in for dinner and had the BBQ tofu sandwich. It was good but not as good as the breakfast I'd say. Felt a little small portion wise for the price. The staff were still lovely.

I'm in love! - Edit
First of all, this restaurant is extremely pretty. Plenty of books and plants. The food was absolutely delicious and all day breakfast is always an advantage. The staff is perfectly lovely. But! The show was stolen by their dog. It's the cutest little angel. I don't find the words to describe how worthy of visiting this place is.

Nice place with moderate food - Edit
This place is really cute and nicely decorated. However, the food was rather mediocre and well overpriced for what it is. The staff was “ok”, but we would not come back here. We also did not like the small (but cute) dog running around begging for food once we got our plates. The staff obviously saw that we don’t want to have the dog close to us but did not do anything.
Read morePros: Nice decorated place
Cons: Mediocre food, Dog begging for food

Thank you for your review, it helped me to decide about whether or not to visit the restaurant. I heard good things, but am turned off my dogs roaming around restaurants begging patrons for food. I wish owners would consider that, although most people seem not to mind, this is not ok with everyone.

Vegan Shack is a Winner - Edit
The food was delicious. The service was great. The vibe was fantastic! We chatted long after eating, undisturbed. The owner chatted with us when we finally indicated we wanted the check. It was perfect in every way. This was my 3rd visit and each of the others was great as well. This is a Winner!

A happy place - Edit
I felt so relaxed and happy here. A super cute dog was bouncing around; friendly owner: really good food - we had tofu scramble which had some lovely sides with it. Also had a cookie and coffee afterwards (moved from our table to a sofa at the back where there were some tarot cards) as we didn’t want to leave!

Vegan restaurant at Casco Viejo - Edit
This was the only vegan restaurant I found on HappyCow in this area by the time I visited Casco Viejo. It's a pretty nice cafe. I ordered the Abundance bowl and the watermelon lemonade, very refreshing.

Closed both times I went - Edit
I went two days in a row during opening hours and both times it was closed. So either temporatily/permanently closed or randomly closing/opening. Disappointing, as no warning on instagram.
