About this place
Nori toast—seaweed brushed with soy sauce, toasted and tucked between slices of bread—is a Japanese-style offering at Shan. Alongside classic toast, the menu includes toast with cheese, ham or egg, as well as toasted sandwiches, so there are options for a light breakfast or something more substantial. One diner described the cheese toast as crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. The egg toast, meanwhile, has been described as filled with scrambled eggs rather than egg salad.
Coffee options listed include blends and American-style coffee, as well as single-origin choices such as Kilimanjaro, Mocha Mattari and Mandheling. One person who tried the café au lait noted that its bitterness and aroma stood up to the milk. For something sweet after breakfast, there is coffee pudding; a diner reported that the steamed pudding was moderately firm and served with vanilla ice cream.
Breakfast is available, and the café is open from 8:30 to 14:30, except on Wednesdays. The listed payment method is cash only, so check your payment options before setting out.
