Love this little place! It's fun, quirky with friendly service . Every item is hand made from scratch, the juices and smoothies are super delicious and as healthy as you like. They serve fresh, delicious breakfast/lunches like bagels with smoked salmon/avocado and wraps with Cajun chicken-both highly recommended with tasty, fresh, bursting with flavour salad on the side. Simple and delicious. Also great for kids-our youngest loves the nutella and banana smoothie. Perfect for a tasty, unpretentious breakfast. And on the doorstep!
