Shambala Ancient Grain Bakery

We went here for a special occasion. We were so glad to find a dedicated gluten free place to eat out. We specified a tomato allergy for one person in our party. We waited over an hour and 15 minutes for our food and the restaurant was not busy. We got our order and the dish with the tomato allergy came with diced tomatoes all over it. When brought to their attention we were told they would give us a refund for the dish and that was all. I clarified that she was telling us no replacement dish without tomato’s and that we would only be getting a refund?! She said yes, it would be another 25 mins or more if we wanted the dish made as ordered without tomatoes and that we would not be getting a refund if that was the case. Not sure how you can just refund one person and leave them without food and take no care in replacing it or offering anything else on the menu that would suffice. I also did notice tons of long term dust overhead, in corners, and on the wall art. I wish I could say this was a great experience but it was a big disappointment :(

Their gf sourdough bread is the best, I buy several loafs at a time. I also love the bagel breakfast sandwich. The cupcakes always taste days old and stale unfortunately. I also have lactose intolerance and appreciate how many df options there are.

All food GF and very good. 3 stars because I didn’t receive 3 items I paid for & when I asked the young girls who were working there they kept assuring me everything was in the bag. When I got back to the hotel, I found I was right, it wasn’t there. I spent $100.00, left a 20% tip (no one served me, I got all to go food) & I tried to tell them twice I didn’t think my food was in there. Paying for food you don’t receive is bad business, asking about your food & being reassured it’s “in one of the bags” when it’s not is worse business. Won’t return.
