Why it matters
Why Shaka Bohol, Tawala is worth your time
On an island where many menus lean on seafood and grilled meat, a cafe that does soy-milk coffee and vegan cakes gives vegetarian travellers a place to sit down without compromise. It is most useful as a breakfast or tea stop between longer meals.
Its limits are plain: it is a light-bite cafe, not a thali or dinner spot, and the evidence is a single 2018 article. Treat it as a lead and verify before building a plan around it.

How to experience it
The 2018 article lists smoothie bowls, smoothies, juices, lattes and cappuccinos made with soy milk, vegan cakes and muffins, and local craft beer. It is a snack-and-drinks place rather than a full Indian-style meal.
For vegetarians it is an easy break, and for vegans the article describes soy-milk coffee and vegan baking. It does not say how sweet the drinks are or what goes into each cake, so diabetic or Jain travellers should ask.
Since the article is old and does not say whether the cafe is still trading, check a current map listing or ask at your hotel.
