Overview
You, yes you. Put down that burger. First we told you where all the great new burger joints are, then we told you how to get fit for free, and now we're telling you how to amp up your nutrition. Who needs a life coach when you have us to balance you out?
Brisbane’s first raw organic vegan cafe, Orawgi, is moving up and out of Woolloongabba and into bigger and better headquarters at Hamilton. Jamie Louise and the team have closed the small store on Ipswich Rd to put love and energy into the new headquarters.
With the new cafe and wellness space set to open on September 30, expect to find a new menu using seasonal organic ingredients, with everything made 99% raw. The new store will be open six days a week from 7am–7pm, giving all of those who live and work full-time outside the Gabba a chance to finally try Orawgi's creations.
If the idea of committing to an entirely raw meal makes you feel like a rabbit, then perhaps give the new Sol Natural Foods in Fortitude Valley a guernsey. Open two weeks under the new Alpha Mosaic Hotel, the venue offers organic pizza, salads, raw sweets, cooked breakfasts and craft beer to keep everyone happy. Cheers!
Also on our radar is a juice trend sweeping the city. Teneriffe has just welcomed an organic cold-pressed juice cafe, Press'd, to its streets. All the while, the Liquify brand have been busy securing six sites across the city to open hole-in-the-wall type juice bars and cafes in. The Liquify team are opening Australia's first 24hr juice and superfood outlet in Mt Gravatt, so early morning runs and late night stumble homes can be equally health-conscious.
Did we mention that they all serve kale? Go forth to eat your #superfoods.
