SHAKA Siargao

Shaka Siargao is the island’s most famous breakfast and healthy food hub. Located right in front of the iconic Cloud 9 boardwalk, it has become a "rite of passage" for travelers to grab a colorful smoothie bowl after watching the sunrise. 🥣 The Famous Smoothie Bowls Shaka is credited with popularizing the "smoothie bowl" culture on the island. Every bowl is made with fresh local fruits, topped with house-made granola, seeds, and beautifully sliced tropical fruits. * Best Seller: The "Bom Dia" (Acai, banana, mango, pineapple, and berries). It’s the go-to for a high-energy post-surf meal. * Local Favorite: The "Cloud 9 Kook" (Mars bars, peanut butter, and cacao) for those who want something a bit more indulgent. * Price: Bowls typically cost around ₱300 – ₱350. ☕ Vibe & View * Front Row Seats: The cafe features a beach-facing terrace with swings and rustic wooden tables. It offers one of the best views of the surfers at Cloud 9 while you eat. * Opening Hours: They open at 6:30 AM (daily). It’s perfect for the early morning crowd coming off the boardwalk after sunrise. * Health Focus: While they were strictly vegetarian for years, the menu has evolved slightly in 2025-2026. However, they remain the best spot for vegan-friendly, gluten-free, and health-conscious options, including coffee with high-quality plant-based milks. 📍 Location & Tips * Location: Directly at the entrance to the Cloud 9 boardwalk, General Luna. * Peak Time: It gets extremely busy between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM. If you want a seat with a view of the ocean, try to arrive right when they open or after the main breakfast rush. * Beyond Bowls: Don't sleep on their Cold Brew or their fresh cold-pressed juices, which are life-savers during the humid midday heat. 💡 Pro Tip for January 2026 If you’re visiting this week, keep in mind that the morning air can be a bit damp from the occasional rain. Shaka’s open-air seating is covered, making it a cozy place to watch the stormy Pacific waves with a warm coffee if the weather turns.

I love this place! Everything is good and healthy, the staff is very welcoming and kind! Here I spend my breakfast all the time because I can see the waves of cloud9 while having my beautiful and tasty bowls! Thank you everyone to make my day so magic! Coffee is really good and the bowls fantastic!

I’m a big fan of smoothie bowls from Shaka, and as always, everything was delicious. I ordered an iced Americano, banana bread, and a pitaya smoothie bowl—everything was really good. I loved the ambience, and the seating is comfortable enough to hang out for a while. The view is great, the staff are friendly, and overall it’s a very chill place.

Awesome spot right on the beach with palm trees and a perfect view of the Cloud 9 Surf Area. The food and drinks are really good, the pizzas, shakes and cocktails are always fresh and super tasty. The prices are very fair, especially for this location. On weekends they also have a great deal: from 4 to 8 pm you get a free cocktail when you order a pizza, that’s the perfect Combo :) The staff is very friendly and nice. On top of that, there are DJs playing every weekend, bringing great vibes with relaxed, cool music. It’s the perfect place to chill, have a drink, and enjoy the sunset :)

This spot is a great choice for healthy food options. The açaí bowl was very good, and the quinoa salad was also enjoyable—fresh and flavorful. It's the perfect place if you're looking for lighter, health-conscious meals. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to try their coffee, as they had run out of oat milk and didn’t offer any alternative milk options at the time, which was a bit disappointing. The location is a definite plus, with a lovely view overlooking the Cloud 9 boardwalk—an ideal setting for a relaxing meal. As for the service, it was just okay—not particularly memorable, but adequate. Overall, it's worth a visit, especially if you're after wholesome food in a scenic setting.

Awesome vibes, service, staff, music, views, food. Fast Starlink WiFi, X Pizza next door. Cloud 9: ample seating, surf/pier views. Great for to-go, quick bites, or long chills. Repeat-worthy in Siargao; check Moalboal & Siquijor spots too.

A little slice of paradise for healthy food lovers! After a great surf session, this is the perfect spot to recharge. The bowls are fresh, colorful, and generous, the smoothies are creamy and packed with natural flavors, and the cold-pressed juices give you an amazing boost without being overly sweet. The vibe is relaxed, with ocean-inspired décor and a welcoming atmosphere. You can really taste the quality and care in every dish. An absolute must-visit if you’re looking to combine pleasure and balance after hitting the waves

It has amazing voew of the beach. They have parking. Service not very fast but its fine. I love the found because they serve healthy drinks or rice bowl it is good.

Refreshing and amazing! The peach bowl is the way to go would definitely come back over and over again!

a siargao must! best bowls on the island for sure. i preferred the cloud 9 kook even though they recommend bom dia since it's most popular. the view is perfect of cloud 9 as well HIGHLY REC

Nothing like enjoying a refreshing acai bowl in the warm morning sun! After a week of eating a lot of meat and fried foods, this was just what I needed. The location is a little bit hidden but I happened to notice it while we were going down the road and I saw a sign for Shaka Bowls, so we came back after we were done surfing. You can get your caffeine fix here from their choices of teas and coffees, or have your fruits and veggies through their power bowls, smoothies, and fresh pressed juices. They do a bowl and coffee combo too, which was exactly what I wanted! I wanted to try the Bakunawa Bowl but it was a seasonal option only, so I went for the Blissful Butterfly. The colors weren't as vibrant and exciting as I hoped it would be from the butterfly pea flower, but it tasted delicious more importantly! I chose a matcha latte for my coffee, although it was the only drink with an extra charge for the bowl/coffee combo. Their outdoor seating is really nice, all underneath the palm trees and blue skies.

The bowls here on on point!! Delicious and beautifully presented. I had the Bom Dia, which came with a TON of granola packed at the bottom of the bowl and sprinkled on top. I loved that the coconut on top was fresh, not the dry gross stuff. The mango was sliced so beautifully on top as well. The flavor of the bowl was great, and I liked that it wasn't too sweet. The price is a little steeper than other places on the island, but worth it!

Shaka's power bowl is fantastic!!! Everything is extremely fresh and absolutely delicious. If you're looking for a healthy good food in Siargao, I highly recommend this place!!

As I write this review, I want to cry knowing that I won't be able to have this ever again unless I take a trip back to Siargao. This was such a welcome fresh and healthy option and their bowls were absolutely delicious. Beautiful and instagram worthy, they have yogurt/smoothie bowls made from local fresh fruit in different tasty combinations. The Cloud 9 Kook was my favorite with banana, peanut butter, cacao and coconut. The place is right by cloud 9 and a little shack next to the water. My only complaint is that this spot is a bit spicier than others in the Philippines but I didn't mind when it was such a memorable place.

Ah Shaka holds a special place in my Siargao heart. Safe to say I was addicted as I went 5 days in a row and tried almost every bowl. Only gripe is that they don't always have everything. For example, they never had any pressed juices or vegan energy balls while I was on the island. Understandable that they get everything shipped in so they're out of stock of different items a lot. Anyhow all the fruit is super fresh! I was a bit concerned to see a crate of whole cream milk when nothing on their menu has milk as it's all labeled as "coconut milk". Besides that this place is a great brekkie or brunch spot with nice people watching spots out front. Their stools are super high, but once you get up there it's quite nice haha. They also have free wifi that's great when it wants to work. It is a bit pricey coming in at 250 pesos per bowl, 300 if you want to add on a coffee.

This is a great place to rest and reenergize after surfing. Prices are on the higher side but you get real, good quality ingredients. I got the smoothie as I feel the bowls will be too much for me. The tropical island smoothie was yummy and you can really taste the different fruits they put inside. I like that they don't use plastic straws in the island. Instead, they use metal straws for juices and the bigger bamboo straws for the smoothies. It's a bit of a wait to get your order but this is a good sign as it means they are making as you order. Definitely worth a try.

Really awesome Smoothie/Acai bowls! Super delicious and a great way to start the day! Costs was about 250 per bowl as of Sept 2018. Been a few times and can highly recommend!
