Lots of options

Extensive all vegan menu to choose from. I especially love that they have breakfast all day. On one occasion I opted for the tofu scramble. The scramble itself didn't blow my mind, but the spreads were great. I found the portion a bit small, especially for the price. In a different occasion I had the om noodle bowl. While the peanut sauce was really good, I was bit disappointed about the quantity of veggies and tofu though - I really only got the 4 cubes of tofu visible on the picture.

Delicious!!!!

We got the curry, air fried potatoes, and the chickpea omelette, both of which were really good and flavorful and not oily. Very friendly waitress, super casual, no alcohol but we are eating here and then going on to one of the Casco Viejo bars.
And Peque the house pup made our day!

Tasty Buddha bowls

Nice friendly owner and tasty food. We had three buddha bowls, mine was Jupiter's smth, quite simple ingredient wise, but very tasty indeed. Would love more options with plant-based protein such as seitan or soymeat.

Good food

Food was good. I enjoyed the tofu scramble and the chunky monkey was very good but kinda small for what you are paying on the smoothie.

Great healthy vegan food

Everything on the menu sounds delicious, but I had to choose one and went with the abundance bowl, which was awesome. I love the fact that everything is rather healthy than just comfort food. Try the kombucha too, it’s super tasty!

Great Vegan Space

The Vegan Shack is located in a beautiful neighborhood and has fair pricing, good wifi, and great tasting food. I ended up staying for brunch… and then lunch because I wanted to try more of the menu. For two meals, a coffee, and tip I paid $25

Great place

The Vegan Shack hadn't opened when I visited Panama City in early 2022 so there were very limited options for me to eat out. How happy was I to learn about this place on Happy Cow when I returned in November 2022.

Pros: Great food, Lovely owners, Cute dog

Best vegan restaurant in Panamá!

I loved everything about The Vegan Shack! The food is amazing and very healthy, the owners are very friendly, with a great aura and integrity, the atmosphere is super cozy, the music is nice and relaxing. It’s in the heart of Casco Viejo, so it can be a great stop on a sightseeing tour or a stroll through the old town. It doesn’t happen often that I recommend a place 1000 %, but if there is, it is The Vegan Shack. I have been to several vegan restaurants in Panama City and none of them came even close to the quality of food and service of this place. They just recently opened and I feel so lucky to have been able to go there twice during my short stay in the capital. I especially recommend the Chunky Monkey Smoothie bowl - but everything else is delicious, too. Please go there and check it out - you will love it! Enjoy! :-)

Pros: Delicious Food, Great service and friendly staff, Cozy atmosphere

Cons: None

Worth a visit

It's a super cosy place in the heart of Casco Viejo, that you might just miss it wondering the streets. I've met both mother and daughter with their dog, it's such a nice atmosphere. I felt appreciated as a customer! The food obviously was great as well, I went for the abundance bowl, simple to get the Panamanian vegan twist. My highlight was the fruit ceviche, all the flavors came together were nicely. The homemade peanut butter cookies were fabulous. Thanks so much!

Pros: All vegan restaurant, Super cute atmosphere, Friendliest owners

Great!

Loved this little spot. Super cute interior, really friendly owner, great food, and the most adorable dog. I got the abundance bowl and I loved that it was a vegan twist on Panamanian specialties (including fruit ceviche and fried plantain). Great to still be able to try local cuisines while vegan! 100% recommend

Pros: Completely vegan, Located in central old town, Cute dog and friendly staff
