Top Juice is a chain of health food restaurants offering a large variety of yogurts, smoothies,…read morefruit, acai bowls, and more! I'm definitely a fan of the fresh and delicious (albeit pricey) offerings. I've had the passionfruit, strawberry, banana, and granola yogurt, as well as the chia yogurt pudding and the acai bowl, and everything has been just delicious! The yogurt they offer is thick, sour, and unsweetened, so the fresh fruit makes for the perfect pairing. The acai bowl has a base of a refreshing acai blend, and it's all topped with freshly sliced strawberries, bananas, blueberries, granola, and coconut shreds! Things here may seem pricey but are certainly delicious, convenient, and of good quality. I'm a fan!

It's rarely very busy and service is fast, meaning you can be on your way with a liquid lunch in no time.

Since it's orange season I got the c breeze, which has orange juice, banana, strawberry. It tasted really good and refreshing, I highly recommend.

But it's not so much the food, but the jolly banter from all the employees, and the thoughtfully composed interior aesthetic that made it a truly memorable dining experience !!

It's a great hidy hole that has little room inside and leaves you wondering how the staff function in such a small space. But they do,it must be the killer sound track and music that keeps them going. I come for the bagels but the coffee (in all its varieties) just nails it. I'm a creature of habit so I go for the vego bagel and still get a silly grin on my face each time I see the old Golden Book menu. Love this place, and it's top of my 'day after the night before' brunch list when staying in the city. Unleash your inner hipster and come try it out.

I thought I'd be trying one of those cafés that offer 'healthy' (note: healthy but not really) alternatives but I was shocked when I looked at the menu and was presented with *genuine* healthy options. I opted for the smashed avo with a Ruby Red juice (beetroot, carrot, cucumber, orange and ginger) and was so happy when I was presented with an appropriate pile of avocado on delicious bread (that I could actually cut) and a healthy size serving of freshly made juice. A plus! The only down fall is that the space is quite small! Get in early (after your gym session, of course) to avoid the crowds as it's a first come, first served kind of place and given the huge amount of tasty items on the menu, it's easy to lose track of time and stay there allllll day long.

They have a big selection of juices and smoothies, around the $5-8 mark. There was a lot of signage of a 'magic South American juice' and apparently if you don't like it they'll give you your money back. A very tempting offer, but I was about to scurry off so I just grabbed an orange and pineapple juice. At $5.40 it was on the cheaper side of juices I've been of late (seriously, cafes are charging through the nose!) but to be honest, wasn't the freshest tasting either. I think the oranges tasted a little old and didn't have a nice aftertaste. Hopefully just an off day...no pun intended. I think next time I will try their speciality mystery juice - at least if it's not up to scratch I won't have to worry!

I woke up Monday morning to an email asking if I'd like to "pop out to Happy Place this afternoon…read morefor a beetroot latte and a raw paleo cake." Who says no to such an offer? (Also: How positively Melbournian!) Upon arrival at this tiny shop on the outside of South Melbourne Market, I was immediately beguiled by the recherché menu. Gems from it include a shroom latte (medicinal mushroom powder, chicory root, dandelion, stevia, almond milk) and an 'I Love Oprah' smoothie featuring monga waratah, a shrub endemic to Australia that's purported to help one find inner strength. After a long peruse I ordered the Mexicano Cacao (raw cacao, cacao butter, chilli, black pepper extract, cayenne, coconut milk) for myself and a cup of the bone broth to share with my mates. The Mexicano Cacao was rich and nicely spicy. But the real winner was the wonderfully toothsome bone broth. I could easily drink a cup a day of this savory stuff. Happy Place isn't set up for hanging out, as there are no seats inside but it's a solid spot to grab a smoothie, hot drink or a light lunch (I loved the look of the seared ahi slices on offer in the salad case!).

If you're feeling a bit bloated I highly recommend grabbing a cup of their $6 broth for lunch. You won't regret it. But Happy Place, owned by nutritionist Lola Berry and Salvatore of St Ali fame, is much more than just a good broth. Here you will find smoothies with Aboriginal leaves that can instil various feelings within you (think strength, wisdom, kindness), salads and proteins galore and lattes of all colours of the rainbow. I went for a turmeric latte, which warmed me up on a freezing June day, while my pals went for the Mexican Cacao, which was truly a standout (obviously I took a sip and then hogged it). It tasted a lot like a spicy hot chocolate. Absolute perfection in winter. While I didn't indulge, there were a variety of salads available for you to grab and go. Because Happy Place are good to Vegan folk, you add your protein separately - there are little cups of chicken, salmon and tofu available to add. While this is pretty much a takeaway place only (there are only a few built in bench seats available), it shouldn't stop you from popping by and grabbing a footpath bench to nosh down on your healthful goodies before you head into the market.

This pop up of sorts is here outside business hours, so weekends at least and maybe summer evenings / public holidays. This is a delightful place to stop and grab a smoothie and watch the passers by, just off Brunswick St, if you're looking for a break from the crowded cafes and shops. Also perfect for take aways if you prefer to drink on the go. Monkey business is my hot tip! Can't go wrong with banana + coconut + almond milk!
