Shambala Ancient Grain Bakery Inc.

Yum! I don't need to care about whether their menu is gluten-free, I DO care whether their food tastes good - and it does!! We ordered the french toast and the (vegetarian) biscuits and gravy. The french toast was superb, with a light crust of visible egg on the bread, and a perfectly sweet (but not overly sweet) topping of blackberry sauce and honey. As for the biscuits and gravy, the biscuits weren't as fluffy as I would ideally prefer but I'll give them a pass since they tasted fine *and* because the gravy was vegetarian and very flavorful. We also bought two cookies to-go that are quite good - I really like their thin cookies. We live half an hour away but the eye surgery center I occasionally visit is in Mt Vernon so I plan to be a regular on the days when I'm in town.

This is the first time I've eaten here and I loved it. I haven't had biscuits and gravy in 3 years since I found out I had Celiac's; it was so delicious. And the French toast was yummy with the berry compote. Thank you for making such great gluten free food!!

I have Celiac disease, and it was so nice to go to a restaurant and not worry about cross contamination. The biscuit breakfast sandwich was amazing! I haven't had a gluten free biscuit that good in my life. We also got some bread and baked goods to go, all of which have been delicious. I wish I lived closer so I could go regularly.

—Awesome to find a fantastic menu with excellent numerous vegan options in Mount Vernon. What a surprise. The number of menu items was the perfect amount for lots of choices but not too big to confuse. The only issue…standing in line waiting to order 17 minutes listening to a rambling person figure out the menu instead of knowing what she and her dining partner wanted to order ahead of time—like we did. It helped the wait when the order taker rolled her eyes at me because she was going through the painful order process too—LOL. Then the food arrived 32 minutes later. Well plated, flavorful, and enough food for a quality lunch. The decor is unique with local art for sale. Definitely coming back.

This is a Mount Vernon must! Gluten free, Vegan, non-GMO and delicious! Do yourself a favor and try the fresh baked breads, cookies, scones... the list goes on. 10% 60+ yrs discount.
