Not vegan!!

As of September 26, this certainly doesn’t seem to be the vegan paradise it once was… contrary to previous reviews there were no vegan pastries (baklava or otherwise) and only 2 vegan ice creams. These were clearly labelled and were dark chocolate and mango. They tasted fine but not great

Cons: Severely reduced vegan options

Vegan ice cream that's not sorbet 🙌

It's not labeled anywhere but the staff says all ice cream flavors are vegan (soy based). They have really interesting flavors (cheesecake pistachio!) and I was so happy they are not just fruit sorbets, yay!

Lovely ice cream!

All ice cream options were vegan and there was a nice and unique selection of flavours. We were told the pastries however were not vegan.

100% vegan ice creams?!

I‘m really not sure, the employee said all of the ice creams are vegan. We asked several questions and he assured us that they‘re all vegan as they are based on plant based milk, because the owner is lactose intolerant. We bought some and they were great, it‘s just really difficult to trust that it‘s 100% vegan 🙃

Dairy in Baklava

I asked if the baklava had dairy and they said yes. Unsure of any vegan options here as zero were advertised on menu

Delicious traditional delights

Very impressed by the variety and quality of the delicious baklavas and mini cakes. Not saturated in sugar but instead full of flavoursome walnuts, figs and pistachio. Perfect with a strong Bosnian style coffee. Amazing location too!

Pros: Knowledgeable and friendly staff, Fresh whole flavours , Great location

Authentic Bosnian caffe with cool vibe

We loved Lasta- absolutely authentic Bosnian caffe with a few very good vegan options. We had Bosnian coffee, baklavas (with walnuts and pistachios) and a fig cake. Everything was super delicious. We can't wait to get back to Mostar and to this place in particular.😄

Nicht klar, ob die Eissorten vegan sind

Die Bedienung sagte, alle Eissorten sind vegan. An der Theke sagte die andere Angestellte, dass alle Sorten Milch enthalten. Die Baklava sind vegan und sehr lecker.

Options available if you ask

Had a vegan sorbet here which was tasty and cheap, not clear what is vegan, you will have to ask!

Vegan Cakes and Gelato

Baklava (pistachios & walnuts) are vegan along with Smokvara (fig cake), and Kadaif (noodle-like pastry).

Gelato is also vegan (all flavours except for Kinder Bueno, Ferrero Rocher, Oreo, and Cheesecake), made with an Italian recipe, using Pregel base.

Great deserts and coffee

I had the Bosnian coffee and baklava, both of which were incredible. I really enjoy the Bosnian coffee. Baklava in general is always very sweet to me, but this one was really really good.

Hi Alison, both of our baklavas (pistachios & walnuts) are vegan. No honey or anything of animal origin. You can also find Smokvara and Kadaif at our shop, they are vegan as well!

Only 1 flavour

Only dark chocolate is vegan (at the moment at least) it was gritty.

Wouldn’t recommend

There seems to be real confusion about what is actually vegan here. No vegan options noted on the menu or on labelling. When asked I was told neither baklava is vegan, either the walnut or pistachio. Previous reviews here also seem confused about what is and isn’t vegan with various versions being told. I was not confident that they were clear on what was vegan and chose not to eat there. Would definitely avoid if you have any food allergies or intolerances.

Not every baklava vegan

Make sure to ask for the vegan baklava. They said the one with walnuts is vegan, with pistachios is not.

Rather than ask which one is vegan it is usually better to ask which one has the animal product, in this case honey. You could also explain that you have a severe allergy to honey then ask if it contains honey. Simply put if you ask if something is vegan in a non vegan establishment they may just tell you what you want to hear or agree with you even though they didn't fully understand you, due to language difficulties.

Hi there, we actually do not use honey in our baklava. It is not common anywhere in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is made with Serbet which is made from sugar.

5* for the location!

If you can get a seat outside, this is a great spot. The inside is a big gloomy. One server had excellent English and was very friendly.
The ice cream and smokvara was really nice.

Thanks for letting me know! Other places has vegan smokvara, but perhaps this one isn’t vegan.

NOT all flavors are vegan, be carefull

The cones are also not vegan. Only the fruit flavors are vegan but still good to ask, because for example the fig flavor is a fruit but is not vegan. Some of the creamy flavors have a green V on the sign but that actually does not mean they're vegan, so you have to ask. Otherwise, nice to have an option for a few flavors of gelato in Mostar.

Pros: Some vegan options, helpful staff

Cons: Badly labelled vegan options

Ok icecream

Like the review downside, i expected all to be vegan but it was Only fruited. I have been eating better vegan ice Cream. But the location is exactly near Bridge so that was cute. And they have the idea of vegan option. Love it!

Pros: All is not vegan, ask them they know.

Cons: Not expensive

Great ice cream but...

Amazing ice cream but not all ice cream flavours are vegan!! I expected all favours to be vegan after reading reviews on HappyCow but on two occasions, staff confirmed that only the fruit flavoured ones are vegan.

Other than that, friendly staff, great ice cream and amazing view of the Stari Most!

So good!

A fully vegan ice cream shop in Mostar of all places was very surprising. There is no sign that all flavors are vegan, so the place seemed to be very popular every time I went there because the ice cream is simply delicious!

Really cool

The fact that there are not many vegan options in Mostar makes it a big surprise that there is a whole vegan ice cream shop. The ice cream was very good and there were interesting flavours available.
