Tasty drinks and tasty brunch! You order at the bar and your food and drinks are brought out to the table. I visited here before they expanded their menu to include meat items, but I am not a deadset meat-eater. I try to embrace veggie and plant-based meals in to my life for various reasons. I ended up with the breakfast tacos which were pretty dang tasty. Veggie chorizo ain't too shabby. Appreciate that they weren't overstuffed with potatoes. Often veggie/plant-based options that I have opted for end up overfilled with the cheapest and blandest ingredient, so I was happy about this. Probably helps that they are (were at the time) fully veggie focused. You know they'll do it right. My partner was not as impressed with his burrito, but he is more of a meat-lover. He indulged me by coming here for brunch one day so he gets points for being willing to try something outside of his wheelhouse. Their social media presence is fun too. They have folks on their team that have their fingers on the pulse of the trends going around on reels and can take part without being too cringey about it lol. Now that they are offering meaty options, I'll probably have an easier time convincing my fella to go back again! read more

Listen, they definitely have to have those signs up that proclaim everything is vegan because I was definitely second guessing it all! Garlic aoili is amazing and those fries were phenomenal. The burger options are great, and you really have to double check. The bacon was a little more obviously not animal product, but everything was delicious! Love the decor and how cute everything is, the back room has space for a larger group to play games or watch TV. The front room has a gorgeous bar set up and everyone is super nice! The bathroom was a little trippy walking down a hallway past a bike shop, but clean and everything worked. read more

Shahar Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

The amazing Shahar food I I have loved for years at a new location! Sunny and bright, lots of seating at the bar and at tables, the staff was so kind and the food came out quickly. Of special note was the kind smile and warm attitude of the person who took our order. Amazing. Loved being able to bring my partner here and introduce her to the best vegan burger in Lou! read more

The decor and ambiance is a divey bar. We were greeted upon entering. They have carry out and also have bar and table seating. They have window sitting as well. I have heard rave reviews about Shahar cafe from yelp elites so here I am.! I had the Classic Burger (vegan )on a brioche bun with a side of fries with house sauce and some crispy wings tossed in an Asian Sing sauce. My food was delicious! They have a neat drink menu and I had the LaRosita They also serve wine and draft beer and a variety of bottles and cans. They have an all day brunch menu, so you know what that means...mimosasteas, coffee, lattes, expresso, and matcha! My dining buddy had the Kicken Chicken with a side of garlic aioli fries. That garlic aioli sauce is sooooooooooooo freaking good! I will definitely be back to try the brunch menu! read more

They reopened down here and my friend and I hadn't been since they were at their original location that closed. It wasn't busy. They have a good handful of tables but it seemed people like going in for takeout. You order at the bar then sit down. I got the double patty of the O style: pickles, cheese, onion, some kind of house sauce. It's not bad. Vegan junk food is all the rage. Definitely filling on its own. It's hefty! Impossible burger patties. My friend got the Chicky Sando and she ordered us half fries and half tots to share. She loved it! I'm glad they reopened! They revamped their menu since the first time I tried the food. read more

Checked out the new location with a friend and a time was had! We specifically went back because my friend (who isn't even vegan) was craving their plant-based burger. The bartender was super friendly and helpful as we made a few choices. The Mango-go-go tequila cocktail was super yummy and a nice combo of rich, smooth sweetness with a hint of fruit from a fresh mango puree. We were so hungry, we forgot to let our camera eat first (iykyk), but the burger and fries really hit the spot. I love having an option for fast food that's plant-based. The mac and cheese was also yummy-gooey-goodness and their plant-based chocolate chip cookies are a dope lil' sweet snack at the end of a salty quick bite meal. The ambiance is bright, airy, and fun. Plus, they had some really good looking cafe drinks I want to go back and try. They also had a backroom for performances, and comedy was going on while we were there! If you're looking for an easy-going place to grab a quick bite, definitely check out their new location on Logan Street! read more

Thank goodness Shahar is back. There has been an unfortunate recent trend of my favorite plant-based restaurants closing, so when Shahar announced they had returned bigger and (hopefully) better I was cautiously optimistic. The hype is true. We had the great pleasure to enjoy the Chicky Sando (a generous slab of crispy vegan chicken complimented by pickles, served on a brioche bun) and the Loaded Stack (fries, slathered with house sauce, vegan cheese, and topped with vegan meat and grilled onions). I've been searching for a replacement for V-Grits' Animal Fries, and the Loaded Stack is absolutely a contender. The inside is cheerfully decorated, with both table and bar seating. The staff is friendly, efficient, and helpful. Thanks, Shahar, for filling a void in the vegan food scene with such gusto and flavor. read more

Shahar Cafe - Loaded stack - yes yes yes! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

i don't know how else to give this feedback except provide it here. this restaurant WAS one of the vegan-only options in town. it's extremely disappointing that you have decided to add meat based options. i do not believe you when you say it's because business isn't doing as well. i go there often and you have tons of customers especially via doordash. it seems greed has won out over ethical choices once again. this has extremely damaged by interest in being a loyal customer. read more

Ambiance 10/10 Food 10/10 Drinks 10/10 Service 10/10 Playlist 10/10 EVERYTHING AT SHAHAR IS PERFECT! The Kickn Chicken was zesty + a tiny bit spicy. I loved the combination of flavors they came up with! The Mac & Cheese was divine - A+ for vegan cheese work! Then that latte!! Yum!! Always appreciate when you can still taste actual coffee next to the caramel flavor! Can't wait to come back & enjoy the sheer fabulous vibes this place oozes!! read more

It's vegan!!!! I was so excited to find an all vegan restaurant. This place is amazing! I happened to show up right when they opened without realizing what time they opened. And the person behind the bar was super friendly and accommodating. I ordered the breakfast burrito to go and they had it ready for me super quick. The burrito was delicious! I love spicy and could've used more of the habanero sauce because it was so good. But overall the burrito was amazing. I can't wait to visit again whenever I'm in Louisville again. read more

Brunch-tastic! I give it four mimosas! I love brunch but it's been difficult to find places that have any options since I went fully plant-based in 2020. I've had burgers from Shahar pop-ups before but a friend and I decided to try their Sunday brunch last week. So glad we did! They have a decent sized parking lot in back and seating up front and in the back room. You order at the bar and then take a seat. We got there around 1 pm and it was pretty packed. The single employee working the front end - taking orders, making drinks, and running food - was so nice but overwhelmed. I ordered the breaky burrito ($15), a jumbo pineapple mimosa ($6), and a side of tots ($6). My friend went with an order of Buffalo wings (everything is vegan). My burrito was stuffed with Just Egg, tots, vegan cheese, vegan sausage, guacamole, pico de gallo, and a delicious homemade hot sauce. My friend loved her very spicy but flavorful wings. We both enjoyed our mimosas. The tots were super crispy but more food than we needed. My meal was over $30 with tip, which is pretty typical for vegan food, but I didn't eat for the rest of the day. I was so stuffed! read more

The burgers are all vegetarian!! Whattt!! And I was blown away on how delicious it was. And the fries and strawberry matcha- what a treat! Definitely check this place out for a nice MEATLESS burger. read more

A guilty pleasure for vegans! All vegan restaurant with what I call a junk food menu- no salads here! There is a bar but you order food through a qr code and they bring it out to you. Shahar has a cool vibe and I love the inside. I really hope that vegans and non-vegans will support local and visit Shahar Cafe. read more

Want a good place to get bad for you vegan??? This is the place! The Philly is AMAZING. The burger is homemade and delicious. The vegan brioche buns!!! Yum! We also got all of the chicken sandwiches. The BBQ was my favorite. The loaded tots were a crowd favorite as well. Most of the guests liked the chicken wings as well. Almost EVERYTHING that we ordered was good. The Mac and cheese was very meh. I wouldn't order it again. The staff was really nice and the place was cute on the inside. read more

I'm so excited this place has come to the neighborhood!! The new brick and mortar on Logan street is decorated so well and the bar is a great addition. My husband and k had dinner here and the cocktails were so phenomenal, hand crafted, and the food came out timely and hit the spot (coming from regular meat eaters)... Will definitely be back! read more

We walked in off the street. The menu did not say the food was VEGAN! I ordered chicken and waffles and scrambled eggs. I thought it was fatty gross thigh meat chicken. HAD I KNOWN IT WAS TOFU, I WOULD HAVE HAPPILY EATEN IT! Instead I thought it was weird meat. I thought the eggs tasted weird. Again, I LIKE TOFU! But instead of thinking wow this is great vegan food, I left there with my food uneaten. My daughter told me later it was vegan!!! How about labeling the menu.? It said "bacon, chorizo, sausage, etc.". Had I known it was vegan, I wouldve ordered a veggie burger and been super happy for eating a healthy meal. Instead I left there thinking, what was that? read more

Please know the entire menu is plant-based. We followed Shahar from their start in the Highlands (amazing blend of their Eastern European and American roots) to their pop ups around town and watched eagerly as they opened another storefront on Logan. The new location is spacious, clean and airy. The food is typical, heavy bar food (though Vegan) and lacks the unique, flavor-bomb of previous Shahar quality ingredients. Food service has been replaced with a QR code though the bar has a staffed bartender. Our food was delivered by a real person but dipping sauces were left off of the order and the wait staff incorrectly identified the two burger orders. Shahar is more costly than some other spots. Burger+Fries=$21+ We might come back but it will not be in our regular rotation even though it is an easy walking for us. read more

So great ! So cute! Yummy and great service ! The chicken burgers are so great and the buns are to die for. We will be back for weekend brunch! read more
