| - This is my go to place for lunch. Full stop.
For $11 inc tax I get a large delicious fresh salad bowl and a giant spelt muffin. I used to get their sandwiches, which are huge (always leftovers) but since I've become wheat-free the salad bowl does it for me.
For a salad bowl, you choose your greens (a mix, arugula or spinach) then six different ingredients (most of them have been flavoured or dressed up) to go inside: barley, tofu, shredded carrots, beets, satueed mushrooms, asparagus, potatoes, chickpeas, cabbage, broccoli, roasted red peppers, artichokes, etc. Although most of the staples stay the same these change from time to time. Then to finish it off you can choose to put some nuts and seeds on top and a dressing, I prefer the citrus.
Because I'm always playing around with the ingredients, it's like having a different dish every time and each ingredient is a flavour explosion in my mouth on its own. It's also a way for me to experiment with flavour profiles.
I've never had the grain bowl, but I like to take things slow.
They have three kinds of muffins: apple/cranberry, sweet potato/date and or the apple/walnut. They are large and delicious although sometimes can be a bit on the dry side.
All the ingredients are made fresh in-house. If you want to go all out, get one of their fresh juices. To treat myself because another $5.50 is stretching the lunch budget I had a blueberry, citrus and mint one and it was so sour, the squish your face till wrinkles in your forehead develop kind of sour, but then it hits you with a refreshing kick and you're like, "whoa, this is the best fresh juice I've ever tasted!". Those also change daily.
I'd give them a 5 star but all of their tempeh contain soy which has wheat and they don't always have non-soy tofu either. I don't know why they don't use wheat-free soy if they're already going the extra mile to be fresh and healthy.
