I really wanted to know what made this muffin so mystic, so one day I walked into this low-key storefront. Immediately I felt a wave of good vibes envelop me as Elias greeted me and my partner. He offered us a piece of Apple Cake, and we immediately downed it and bought another. It was probably the best thing I've ever tasted....right now I'm craving another slice (or loaf!) We spent a bit of time giggling at all the cute puns and funny messages written all over his menu while Elias chatted with us.
Since that day, whenever I'm in the area I stop by and say hi. Elias is always a total darling, and his witty sense of humour is really a delight. He remembers everyone that comes in, and greets them with a warm welcome. I've seen him turn customer's grumpy faces into big smiles with his positive energy and silly jokes.
The falafels are amazing, as is the lentil soup, the baked goods, and probably everything else. Food cooked with love and good intentions always tastes better, and this is one place where you can really tell that the chef is putting his heart into each plate.
Elias' Mystic Muffin is a much needed ray of sunshine in this seedy area. This man is truly an inspiration, and that apple cake is iconic.
