You know you're more than a little bit in love when a cafe/food store is part of your daily life and what's more it's good for you!
You'll find me at Bondi's long time friend, Earth Food store, every morning ordering my coffee, and organic gluten free Buffin (buckwheat muffin). Every day I'm drawn back not only by the nutritious goodies this place has to offer but by the ridiculously friendly staff who seem to make an effort to get to know all their regular customers by name.
While Earth Food is somewhere I usually just grab a quick coffee, chai, fresh juice or veggie tofu rice pocket to go, it does offer a few benches and tables for lingerers to sit down and order something more substantial from the array of organic, vegetarian goodies in the display window. Take your pick from raw bliss balls made of dried fruit and nutty goodness, to quinoa porridge and fruit bowls or maybe just a quick vegetarian rice paper or sushi roll.
What's more, it has an organic food store next door offering fresh produce and enough gluten free products to fulfil a celiac sufferer's wet dreams. While I'm not at all gluten intolerant, I must admit - discovering toasted chia bread with vegemite and butter was a life changing moment for my tastebuds.
While, as always the organic offerings are often a pinch pricer than your run of the mill cafe offerings it's well worth the extra loose change to be greeted by friendly, helpful and humorous staff and quality, nutritious and interesting food products. read more
