Barbarella Juicebar - Ljubljana

Barbarella offer a good selection of bowl, daily dishes and cakes. The place is small with only two tables inside and a good outside space on the summer months. It's a great place for breakfast and tea time, with a large offering that should fit everyone. Quality can vary on the daily dishes, most of the time it's great. I would not recommand their Kamut bread. Updated from previous review on 2021-11-14

Structure of smoothies was very thick, I had to add water to them to make it drinkable. Not very tasty either.

Food is all vegan, English menu available on request. I opted for the quiche and salad. The best vegan quiche I’ve ever had. So much so that I want to buy their cookbook which has the recipe! The filling was lovely, light and creamy, not dry and heavy like so many other vegan quiches I’ve had before. The buckwheat pastry was perfect. The salad was fresh and the basil dressing really flavoursome and not greasy. I also took away a Caesar salad for later that day, I think this would probably be best eaten when buying it or very shortly after as the moisture from the salad made the croutons go soggy. Lots of healthy options here from salads, sandwiches, smoothies and smoothie bowls. Great place for breakfast or lunch. A few seats inside but more seating outside on the pavement. Most people taking away however and it was very busy and popular. 100% will return when back in Ljubljana and I’ll be picking that cookbook up too!

At Barbarella you can purchase a coffee or juice to-go with pre-made salads, sandwiches, and desserts. This place is best for those in need of a quick vegan meal or treat for work or transit. The food looks tasty in the photos, but less so in their packaging. I ordered a quinoa salad with carrot dressing for around €10. A lot of the salads would be easy to make from home. While moderately filling, there wasn’t much flavor even with the sauce. I also picked up a German chocolate cake and chickpea tart they had recommended. The tart was dry and the cake’s filling had a processed texture and taste. None of the food was bad, but given the high price, the food was disappointing.

Barbarella is a small bistro in the center of Ljubljana. I didn't find the atmosphere as loving as it looks in the pictures. My salad was fresh but didn't come with much dressing. For the fact that it is self-service and the salad was rather small, I found the price too high.
