Of course I had to get a smoothie, and this was the large Charlie's Chocbananarama ($10), which has bananas, cocoa, dates and maca powder. It was chocolately banana goodness.
The wraps on special were their new 'rainbow wraps' ($5 for special, $8.50 normally), which had kale, red and green cabbage, carrots, cucumber, beetroot hummus and beetroot cream cheese as well as your choice of either smoked tofu or avocado. I don't know why they didn't just put the avocado and tofu both on the wrap together, which would have been awesome! When I got there, they only had the tofu one left. It was really nice, lots of fresh and crunchy veggies, but I do wish there was some avocado in there as well!
Of course I had to finish up with a plain cinnamon bun from Cinnayum. I love these!
Here is also a slightly shiny photo of their cabinet, which is where all the salads, wraps and sweets live and is entirely vegan!
On this visit I also noticed that they do have some tables and chairs outside and to the side of the entrance, as well as a little bar inside, so you can eat there if you wish!
I have been eating a Charlie's several times lately, so I hope you won't get sick of all my posts about it!

Grace is absolutely adorable! The tofu wrap looks delicious, and you're right, why not have the tofu and avocado??
ReplyDeleteTofu and avocado go so well together, it seems silly not to!
DeleteMmmm....cinnamon rolls! That's one that I miss very much on this detox diet I'm on.
ReplyDeleteNot long to go now and cinnamon rolls can be yours. :)
DeleteA dramatic cat, hehe.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I'd eat there often if I lived in the area. The desserts look fabulous. But I get your point: why not combine tofu and avocado!
So dramatic. Her dramatic face. Her dramatic meow. Though they are quickly replaced by a little squished up face of joy when you pat her. :)
DeleteLooks like a good place to eat! That chocolate banana smoothie sounds especially delicious. It's funny how I never seem to make that kind of smoothie at home but it's always the kind I love to order out at a restaurant ;p
ReplyDeleteGrace is a very cute kitty!!
I saw it on the menu and thought 'but you could make that at home so easily'... and then I thought 'yeah... but you don't'. So I ordered it, and it was yum!
DeleteThat wrap looks delish, I love the sound of the beetroot cream cheese!
ReplyDeleteIt is made by an Australian company, and I saw that they had jars of it for sale in the fridges. Though very expensive! Still, one day I will get some.
