SHAKA — Restaurant in Cebu

We had a Kale and Quinoa Avocado Bowl for 350 pesos and a Pitaya Elixir for 320 pesos.

The Kale and Quinoa Avocado Bowl is made with kale and quinoa tossed in creamy avocado dressing with cranberry, walnuts, red onion and vegan parmesan flakes. This is really a hearty and filling meal, as the portion is big. Mine uses spinach because the shop ran out of kale. The bowl is quite savory, so don't expect it to be like the other sweet and cold fruit bowl. Nevertheless, it is very tasty, original taste of the ingredients and a great meal to start your day, if you have a big appetite.

Next, the Pitaya Elixir is made with dragonfruit, banana, coconut yogurt, pineapple and pomegranate. The presentation, as advertised, is nicely done, adding characteristics to the different fruit bowls. I particularly like the little dragonfruit ball, with the fan made with banana. The smoothie is cold and full of flavor, mainly the sweet dragonfruit, sour pineapple and the creamy coconut yogurt. The blend of creamy smoothie and crunchy granola textures adds another layer of intrigue to it. I believe no matter which smoothie you choose, you would enjoy it. Oh, did I mention that the bowl is made with coconut shell?

The staff is very friendly and environment is cozy. They provide service water, so you can fill up your water bottle for your adventure of the day.

Highly recommend this place, even for budget travellers, this might be a place to...

630 PHP for two fruit desserts, unfortunately they both of them taste like 🤢 I’m not sure it’s from rotten fruits, bad kitchen, or bad recipe. I was very surprise that it’s actually franchise (means, it’s not from a bad recipe?)

We had ube fruit bowl and mango/passionfruit mix, both of them were so bad. They had weird sour and funky taste. I was so surprised because usually fruits in PI are very delicious.

My partner couldn’t eat them because these taste are like… food poison. We didn’t get sick from them though.

They are not even cheap. We went through from cheap local foods to expensive resort foods, and none of them made us disappointed except this place.

We were super hungry when we got there, but we couldn’t eat them all but left more than half of them. We usually don’t leave food like that.

I don’t usually give a star review, either leaving reviews for disappointed place only. I carefully choose where to eat and check google rates and reviews. Most of time it works well, and I’ve left a lot of reviews 4-5 stars. Unfortunately, this place is one of few...

We’ve know the brand since Siargao 2 years ago. Bom Dia is the bestseller I think because of the Mango. It would be great to have more variety based on the mango flavour. The smoothie bowls are so yummy. The chia pudding too! The only thing I’d love to see different is having soya milk for the coffee (they only have oatmilk given it’s vegan place) And I don’t enjoy coffee with oatmilk. That’s why we come here for smoothie bowl/chia pudding only and then went to Smooth Caffe for coffee. However, if you like it with oatmilk, the coffee+smoothie bowl 380PHP combo is not a bad price. The staff could pay a bit more attention to the customers and chat less between themselves, especially when it’s 7:30 am and you’re the only customer around. Especially post pandemic when there are not so many tourists. We found the staff in Siargao was much more attentive and...
