Backyard Bowls
Backyard Bowls is a casual spot specializing in nutritious açaí and smoothie bowls, alongside oatmeal porridge and avocado or almond butter toasts. Many items include honey or bee pollen, but staff are willing to substitute these for vegan-friendly alternatives when asked. Portions are sizeable, prices lean towards mid-range, and wait times can be long, especially during busy mornings.
