Good option while in Shkoder - Edit
Has oat milk, avocado toast options, smoothie bowl and juices. Staff know what can be made vegan also.
Read moreGreat little cafe vibe and a cute spot to do some work at. Would be great to see more vegan options added to the menu but it’s good for Shkoder 👍

Ottima colazione/Brunch - Edit
Si può scegliere di farsi fare le Bowl con il latte vegetale (peccato per il supplemento di 0,80 cents €)e Avocado Toast. I camerieri sono preparati sugli ingredienti. Attenzione perché nella Granola c'è il burro.

Cons: Fare un menù più chiaro, Supplemento sul latte vegetale

Good for a snack - Edit
The cafe offers charming indoor seating and a pleasant shaded outdoor area. We tried two different toasts: one with avocado and tomato, and the other with avocado and almonds. Both were delightful, though they were more like light snacks than filling breakfast. While the menu doesn’t explicitly list vegan options, many vegetarian dishes can be made vegan—just ask the waiter. The coffee was good, and they offer almond milk, though it comes with an extra charge, which is a downside.
Read moreOn our second wispy we had juices and a smoothie bowl. Juices were great and fresh and the smoothie was standard — totally “mid” as Gen Z would say.
Because of the small menu and the inclusion of meat dishes, I give this place four stars.

Vegan brunch options - Edit
Although their menu doesn't have vegan labels, most of the vegetarian dishes are vegan like the smoothie bowls and toasts. Our server knew what vegan was and put almond milk in our smoothie bowls (but then changed us 90 lek extra each!) the prices were pretty good but the extra unknown charge was a shame. They also do juices and coffee.

delicious vegan breakfast offer - Edit
Good selection of vegan breakfast alternatives, although these are not directly labelled, but are listed on request. The avocado toast with tomato was very crispy and tasty. The Green Power juice was not too sweet, but unfortunately a little watery. The staff were very friendly and the café was very modern.

What a breakfast! - Edit
After 10 days in countryside Albania it’s refreshing to go to restaurant and finally talk to the waiter who knows what vegan means. We had amazing avocado toast and for me it was up to this moment the best breakfast in Albania. Place is cozy and modern.

Only eating options for breakfast - Edit
We could only order juices/smoothie as we went on the afternoon and they told us until 6 pm they only serve cheesecakes and muffins/croissants (no toasts or anything vegan to eat) .
Read moreNot sure at which time they close the kitchen, maybe its just open for breakfast.
For the smoothie I have to say that we had to change the iogurt for almond milk and we had to pay a supplent (which nobody told us , not even the menu or the waiter) . The smoothie was quite ok, but It would have tasted the same with water.
The juice was all right
Pros: Huge space and good decoration
Cons: Kitchen closed on afternoon

Nice place - Edit
A good spot for some healthy breakfast/brunch. Menu items marked with green are the ones waiter said could be made vegan by eliminating the cheese/milk. Staff mostly were knowledgeable about the vegan options.
Read moreOnly plant milk option is almond milk and is 80c extra. Waiter said granola was not vegan as it contained milk.
Kitchen closed at about 1.30pm but there's no signs or notice on the menu about this, I was only told by staff once I went to the counter to order something extra which is a little annoying.

Vegan options, not labeled - Edit
Staff was friendly, spoke English and was knowledgeable of veganism.
Read moreMenu partially in English but there were no labels as to which options are vegan and which aren't. When asked, staff can explain and adjust the options accordingly (e.g. include almond milk).
I had a berry bowl and a juice.
They were both okay, the bowl could have been a bit larger.

Great place - Edit
Absolutely loved the food and drinks that were served. Think it says a lot about a place and how future proof they are when they have multiple vegan options on the menu (including coffee and variations of the sort that can be prepared with almond milk). Great inititative that has to be mentioned and applauded, well done! Very friendly staff as well. They were really kind to us. Would highly recommend to visit the place when in the city. You won’t be left disappointed, that much is for sure!

Great food and juices! - Edit
The place looks a bit fancy but the prices are super affordable! The juices are amazing (we got the one with ginger!) and there is an entire section of the menu that can be made into vegan options. The waiter we got spike English and he gave us avocado on toast with some other stuff, fully vegan!

Have options but staff needs more training - Edit
Asked for a cold latte with almond milk, got a hot one with cow's milk. They confirmed it was almond milk until I asked to show me the brand since it smelled too much like a real thing. They then admitted the mistake and make me a new drink. Sooo pay attention! Didn't get to try their food as the kitchen was closed but looked like they had vegan options
Read morePros: Lovely place with vegan options
