Great menu with a knowledgeable staff to make the perfect recommendations! Dealing with laryngitis and this place has been a haven to get drinks to help reclaim my voice while on the go... Chill atmosphere with ample seating to relax and hang out! Highly recommend!!! ** My favorite item is the Maui Bowl! **

We were so happy to try the fruit bowl at the Cantin SB tournament my granddaughter played in these past 2 days. So nice to have healthy food choice, for a change. We brought home 2 bags of the amazing granola. We will be sure to stop by The cafe, when we are ever in the Howell area.

Absolutely love Shaka Cafe! The vibe is super chill and welcoming, with beachy decor and a laid-back atmosphere that makes you want to stay all day. The food is fresh and flavorful — I had the nutella original bowl and it was probably the best I've ever had. Coffee's great too, smooth and not overly bitter. The staff were really friendly and helpful, and everything came out pretty quick. Perfect spot to relax, catch up with friends, or just hang out with a good book. Can’t wait to come back!

I’ve been here twice now, in the same week. Since trying it I have become obsessed with it. I want everyone to know about how wonderful this place is. If you haven’t tried it, do it! I’ve had two different bowls, the Coco Loco and the Island Power and absolutely loved them both. Thanks for bringing this yummy goodness to our town .
