"The price is a bit high (like most meals ordered through DoorDash), but this was way more satisfying and filling than I expected. I'm used to eating more meaty and savory breakfast meals, and this surprisingly sated my appetite; without leaving me craving for my usual meal type afterwards (a rarity). The fruits in the Peanut Butter & Jelly Bowl were sweet; even the blueberries which I'm used to being tart everywhere else, the peanut butter had small grains with a satisfying crunch to it and complimented the smoothie base and fruits well!. Will definitely be ordering again!"
"Always so fresh and delicious! The portions are perfect because theres not a ton of filler granola like other stores. My favorite place by far! I order at least 1-2 times a week."

"The Royal Flash was recommended to me by a friend and let me tell you, it's so good ! I'm usually wary about juices with ginger because a lot of the time it overpowers the other ingredients, but it was perfect in this one. I also got the Fruit Cup and told them to surprise me and they gave me a beautiul combination with strawberry, kiwi, orange, cantaloupe and pineapple. I will for sure be ordering from Cali Shakes again. "

"On the expensive side for breakfast food, but honestly delicious! The Breakfast Poutine is sooo good! And the Blueberry Pancake was sweet but not too sweet! Highly recommend. "
"Looks great but isn't. Let's talk about value. I paid $6 for 2 sausage links sliced in half which is insane to think about. There was NO lemon flavor in the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes at all and you should know they are not sweet at all without syrup. I had to add a whole lot of salt and pepper to the Jen's Crespelle and not to mention there were pieces of bacon that looked uncooked. It's a shame cause I was very excited to try it since it looked great online. But definitely not worth $40."
