Cafe Adventures: Monday's

So about a month ago I decided to try out a ‘vegan week’ partly out of curiosity (no butter or milk, what do you eat!?) and as a little healthy kick start to my holidays. While it was an interesting week and pushed me to try out heaps of new and nurticious recipes like spirilina bars, muesli and vegan fries (recipes to come!) it also gave me a new appreciation for the importance of nourishing your body with while some and healthy foods. Enter Mondays café, a litte eatery that is gaining huge popularity as the new a addition to the ‘health café’ food scene.

Vegan, gluten free, vegetarian, paleo or just interested in a insanely delicious and guilt free meal, Mondays has you covered with a large selection of cakes, coffee, and lunch options. While of course it is going to leave your wallet slightly lighter than a normal café, the quality and types of ingredients are nothing compared to the general buttered muffins and toasted Panini’s you find anywhere else. They also happen top Stock Raw Kitchen treats, which is my new current obsession!

While Mondays seems to be doing everything right from smiley, helpful staff to quick delicious service their current location is no smaller than a New York shoebox apartment, with seating for 5-6 people at most. Hopefully with their obvious increasing popularity they will think of relocating to a larger area with more space but for now it’s probably best to order to go, and considerer somewhere else for large catch-up coffees with friends.

 I decided to splash out (Kingsland is a bit of a trip from town anyway) and bought a raspberry chocolate slice, coconut water and a spelt and pumpkin bread sandwich with marinated mushrooms, creamy cashew aioli and spinach.

 So if your body is feeling like a healthy pick me up or if you want to know if the rumors are true, take a trip to Kingsland, Mondays and see for yourself!
