They have a good amount of items on their menu, but we all ordered the same thing – The Mushroom Bowl. It is gluten-free and vegan unless you do the add-ons like pulled pork or ramen egg.

In the bowl are mushrooms, peas, wild rice, brown rice, black kale, pickled beets, pickled carrots, and pumpkin seeds. We added the Ramen Egg for and it was worth it. It was a hearty lunch and tasted really good.

The produce is local and organic where possible and all meat and dairy are humanely sourced.

They use beans from Argo Roasters, who are also located in Strathcona. The latte is made with their Equinox Espresso blend, which has a balanced combination of beans from Brazil, Colombia, and Ethiopia. Fairtrade and organic too.

You can also purchase Argo Roaster beans here too.

Overall, I had an enjoyable eating mushrooms bowls and drinking lattes. It’s a nice addition to the neighbourhood with other delicious businesses close by like Strathcona Brewing.
