Shaka Kitchen is delicious and run by an incredible staff that works hard and is kind. They care about the community and important causes around them which is so appreciated. I've tried their Banananutty bowl as well as a few smoothies and everything I've had there is incredible! Next up on my list is everything else on their menu!

Shaka Kitchen was amazing with work with for our recent for the Hoboken Public Education Mom's Night out Wellness Event. Kiersten was wonderful to work with and helped us plan our menu, it was all absolutely delicious. We had smoothies, açaí bowls, tacos and amazing cookies! We suggest using them for any event as it was all a hudge hit with our guests! Thanks Shaka Kitchen for helping making our event so special.

I loved everything about this place. My family needed a quick bite to eat before our son's basketball game at Stevens and we picked Shaka Bowl on a whim. The variety is fabulous. My son had a poke bowl, my husband had breakfast tacos and I enjoyed a delicious açaí bowl. The service was efficient, the restroom was perfectly clean and the interior decor added the perfect vibe. Thank you for offering LaCroix to drink! I'm sad that I live 3 hours away, or I would be a regular for sure.
