Cute cafe with delicious cappuccinos - Edit
This cafe is tucked on a cute side street and has a nice ambience. The vegetarian avocado toast without cheese was delicious. The oat milk cappuccinos were also wonderful. Came back 3 times in 4 days. The prices are very reasonable and the juice is fresh.

Super gemütlich, ausgezeichneter Service, leckeres Essen - Edit
Leckeres veganes Essen, Kaffee und Smoothies. Das Personal spricht perfekt englisch und weiß genau Bescheid, was vegan ist und was nicht. Wir waren mehrmals dort und wurden immer drauf aufmerksam gemacht, dass die Crunchies beim Müsli in Butter geschwenkt sind. Absolute Empfehlung!

Cafe in the center of Shkoder - Edit
Friendly staff and a nice ambiance.
Read moreWe had the Avocado Basil Toast, which was super tasty. Just make sure to ask for the vegan option — they offered to omit the poached egg (even though it wasn’t mentioned on the menu).

The staff was very kind and aware of all the vegan options! We had the avocado toast, which was absolutely delicious! They also offer plant-based milk, juices, smoothie bowls and very good coffee (also available as decaff).

A must-visit for vegans in town - Edit
As it's hard to find vegan food and coffee in Albania, we were happy to find this little cafe with a lovely backyard. We totally enjoyed the iced lattes with plant-based milk and smoothie bowls. Just be sure to mention that you want it vegan. But the waiter understood and offered what was possible 👌🏻

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.
Read morePros: Preparazione camerieri, Giardino interno , Opzioni vegan
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!
