Shine Cafe

Very nice people and a cute place, so I do want to start with that. I also do not usually leave negative reviews, but this was unfortunately some of the worst vegan food I have had. I ordered the vegan taco and could only eat about half. It was basically a tortilla with a large pile of raw vegetables and some tempeh on top. The tempeh was not like typical tempeh at all. It was very wet, unseasoned, and honestly tasted pretty unpleasant. I understand this is a health-focused café, but there was almost no seasoning and only a light drizzle of sauce, so the whole thing tasted extremely bland. It ended up feeling more like a plain vegetable pile than an actual taco. The staff were very kind and the place itself is cute, which is why this was disappointing. Maybe other menu items like the sa

What happened to the beautiful spring rolls😔? These were a favorite treat of mine when visiting the coast.. but after today sadly I am in search of something new. Rolls were FULL of carrots. No cabbage at all. And just a small amount of avocado, 4 slices in each roll. Tempeh was sparse and buried inside the carrots. Really bummed about this experience.

Visited Shine Cafe and found it to be just okay. The food was pretty average – I tried the TLT and a bagel, and while they were both edible, neither had much flavor to speak of. It felt like something was missing that could have made the dishes stand out. The atmosphere didn’t help either; none of the staff seemed particularly enthusiastic, which took away from the overall vibe. Overall, it’s an acceptable spot if you’re in a pinch, but there’s nothing here that would make me rush back.

I <3 Shine Cafe! I wish I could eat their spring rolls every day! Yum!

Lovely place with lots of vegan options Loved it. The juice blends were refreshing fresh and great combinations. The breakfast taco was extremely flavourful and it was great to have a vegan pancake which was made with healthy buckwheat. The bagel sandwich was delicious too. We took a take out of vegan tiramisu and chocolate and strawberry balls which was awesome. Love this small vegan vegetarian cafe with its lovely friendly staff and service. Must visit if in Morro bay.
