Review: So happy to have discovered this gem! I can't consume gluten so being able to order anything on the menu is rare for me. All of the food here is safe for me to consume! I had their everything bagel with cashew cream cheese and it hit the spot! I also enjoyed a cinnamon bun. My friend had their tofu scramble and it was delish! It's worth the 40 minute drive! The staff is welcoming and they truly care about your experience.

Review: Down to earth people with fresh organic vegan food. The food is consistently high quality, made to order and served with a smile. It is so good to have a vegan eatery accessible to us. We are repeat customers!

Review: So I will provide a review as a whole life Meat-Asaurus and as a new 4 month Vegan. I went to Shayna B's after it moved and expanded its offerings in Westbrook. My first time, as a Meat-Asaurus, I ordered the breakfast sandwich - which over the years has been my addiction-go-to item. When I finished I thanked cook and server Susan for having an egg sandwich on the menu "for us meat eaters." I will always remember her smile and her answer "there were no eggs in the sandwich - we are a completely vegan restaurant, but glad you liked it!" Oh and the bagel was gluten free... Whether you are a meater eater or vegan, need gluten-free or have a food allergy Owner Christine Reed has provided the shoreline with a vegan/gluten free bakery and cafe eatery oasis. While the foods-to-go, smoothies, soups, nachos, personal pizzas, sandwiches, wraps, and specials would be enough - there is the 20-30 foot long glassed bakery case filled with an assortment of yummy delights. The food is fresh, tasty, the portions are perfect and the soups are out of this world. The vegan lasagna in the to-go case was a delicious next day lunch at work. Preordering from the bakery is important around the holidays - we just put Christine's creations out for family/friends and don't even bother saying they are vegan anymore! The cafe is large and is defined by 1. the "front area" with food ordering and baked goods, an assortment of local vendor's items for sale, and comfortable metal seating for eating - on weekends there is usually a music group (1-3 persons) playing for a few hours; 2. the back area provides additional space to eat on more ornate wooden/shore inspired tables and seats, and wall art from children who have come to eat over the year. This area is also used for larger parties. In response to a negative review left on service - This is not a sit and serve place - you order, you relax and food is brought to you. At times - like many places - they are short staffed so your fresh, homemade, vegan gluten-free food takes a little longer... relax and enjoy

Review: This is a great little place near the beach in Westbrook. It offers vegan food that tastes good. They often have local bands playing on the weekend. The Sunday morning we went, they had a great band. You can sit indoors or on the porch. If you enjoy healthy, good tasting food, I highly recommend stopping here.
