Staff have no idea what's vegan - Edit
Unfortunately I thought I'd use this place as a bad for most of my meals whilst in the mountains but Staff have no idea what's vegan. Half the stuff missing ingredients sign. First told me everything was vegan. Then told me that everything has milk eggs and butter. No idea about allergies.
Read moreI came back another day and asked again, what was vegan. On the menu it says the apple, cherry and lazy pie are vegan but the ingredients in the card say they have egg and milk? I'm so confused. I've added photos.

Multiple Vegan options, but disappointing - Edit
Ate here 4 times because it was one of the only restaurants with vegan options. Every single time I was disappointed. The vegan options exist, but everything is so bland and under-seasoned. I had the pita sandwich, oatmeal, wild mushroom polenta, and lentil soup. Everything was essentially flavorless, I had to drench each dish with oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper.

Great vegan option - Edit
We visited twice — once for brunch (8:00–16:00) and once again in the evening.
Read moreThe service was excellent, with servers who speak English and clearly understand what vegan means. The atmosphere was pleasant and welcoming.
They offer vegan options, and many of their drinks can be made with soy milk.
The food was nice, though not exceptional and the desserts were great. Overall, it’s a great option if you’re in the area!

Vegan meals, no vegan cakes available - Edit
The menu included some vegan options, which was a big plus, and the food we tried was tasty and fresh. Staff spoke English and knew what veganism is. The atmosphere was welcoming and the service was kind and attentive. The only thing we missed were vegan desserts – it would have been great to finish the meal with a sweet option. There weren’t any available when we visited (Monday, 2PM). Overall, a good spot.

Unreliable - Edit
Kitchen not open during many of their operating hours and pre-mades have not included the vegan pie option on their menu. Otherwise, seems like a great option if you can make it there!

A fabulous place for breakfast or lunch - Edit
Modern, light cafe with excellent service, delicious and generous food at a reasonable price. The hot chocolate is fantastic after a day of outdoor activities, the oat porridge, falafel meal and shakshuka eggs were excellent. Plenty of vegan and vegetarian options.

Good food, you won’t be disappointed - Edit
The food at Shambhala was good. We tried the falafel sandwich and the wild mushroom polenta. The falafel pita sandwich was a delight, featuring crispy falafel nestled in homemade bread with fresh tomato, cucumber, onion, and a savory tahini sauce. I highly recommend it. The wild mushroom polenta was creamy and rich, topped with flavorful wild mushrooms and chanterelle, though it could have used a touch more salt.
Read moreTo accompany our meal, we had two coffees. The americano was perfectly brewed, but the cappuccino with soy milk was less impressive and might not be to everyone's taste.
At our second visit we tried apple cake. It’s kinda like a German apple strudel, but a little bit more dry. The waitstaff told us at first non of the cakes were vegan, but after asking about the ingredient we understood it was just a lack of understanding what vegan means. We also had a blueberry lemonade, very refreshing.
At our third visit we tried latte with soy and some bread rolls with jam. We also bought a bread. The latte was slightly better than the cappuccino and the bread rolls was not good either; dry white bread with sugary and starchy jam. The bread was good.
Shambhala seems to be a really popular spot but has enough space both inside and outside. It’s also a lot of parking nearby.
Shambhala is an excellent choice for brunch and breakfast, and I wholeheartedly recommend going here.

Amazing place for brunch - Edit
They have a brunch menu available from 8am to 4pm with several vegan options clearly labeled. I had the truffle polenta and it was delicious! I wanted to try the apple pie but they didn't have it that day. The only vegan pastry they had was one filled with apricot jam, so I had that, and it was quite nice! I'd definitely recommend this place for brunch, it's rather modern and the service is good. Also, great value for money!

Tasty baked goods and some traditional dishes - Edit
Helpful staff, after some talking turned out that a bun with apricot jam is vegan, or - posno. Paired super well with soy milk cappuccino. There are also mushroom or trufle polentas, which I heard are a traditional dish in Montenegro. I also saw falafel pitas and other falafel dish.

a few vegan options - Edit
There is a small selection of vegan dishes to choose from, which can be identified thanks to the list of ingredients on the individual pastries. For example, there are 2 pieces of apple strudel for the price of €2.5. It wasn't too dry or sweet, but didn't taste much like apple.

A welcome surprise - Edit
Was craving a latte after our hike and this place looked pretty modern, so we decided to give it a try. It didn't dissapoint. The apple pie was a nice addition. The dough resembled baklava, but it was less dense. The seating, inside and out, is also pretty hip.
