| - I must say, I am quite a sucker for foods that are beautiful enough for social media, especially those that mirror the cheeky insider food videos you see on Facebook. With that being said, this place can definitely be classified as a one of a kind foodie Mecca, with vibrant, fancy, and healthy foods galore! I live relatively far from downtown, but I was in the area and was so excited to finally have an excuse to try it. Upon entering, I was immediately greeted by the staff and they gave me recommendations of what to try and even suggested that I check out IG if I was just going by what looked pretty (which was funny). The menu had a variety of options many of which were nutrient dense and vegan such as the smoothies, bowls, and mermaid/unicorn/rainbow toasts; indulgent options included things like paninis and grilled cheese. I decided on the $10 fairy tale bowl which was reminiscent of the typical acai/pitaya bowls that we know too well, however the star ingredient is a type of highly nutrient algae called blue magic. The owner made sure to make it look as "instagrammable" as possible, which I highly appreciated! Taste-wise, this tasted as delicious as it looked and to be honest I liked it better than some acai bowls I've had in the past. What was interesting about this place was that it was small...veeeery small, like, the size of a closet. I had no issue with this but perhaps there would be some people that would want to sit and enjoy their food with friends. I am looking very forward to going back to try the interesting, vegan, social media-worthy, gold flake adorned, mermaid toast!
