Lunch

Had a cute little catch up lunch date with Sarah today. I met up with her during my lunch break before she started her shift at work. We went to Love Thy Neighbour in Hatton Garden. The one on Bold Street which I've been to twice has shut down. Not sure why - thought that would have been well busier than this one as one is hidden and out the way. Didn't even know where it actually was and it's pretty close to where I work. 

I got the Fresh berries, Matcha and yoghurt fluffy pancakes.

It was nice could have done with more yoghurt but it was filling.

I also got an Amazonian fruits smoothie - Banana, Amazonian Fruits, daily berries and oat milk which was nice. I was debating that or the Match smoothie (Matcha, spinach, banana and oat milk). Kinda wish I got the Match smoothie but thought it might have been Matcha over load since I had it with my pancakes. 

Sarah got a Buddha Bowl - Super Food Bowl - Crispy kale, charred tender stem broccoli, spinach, roasted squash, beets, sour cherries, toasted seeds, pomegranate, citrus pomace dressing and she added chicken to it.

I love the interior which is the same as what they had on Bold Street. We went at 12:30 and it was quiet only a few other people in there and our food was made really quick.

It was a nice catch up as Sarah is leaving the week after we do the marathon to go to Australia for a year to work and travel. I'm going to lose my gym buddy best mate for a whole year - I've kind of accepted it's for good though, I don't think she's ever coming back once she's left. But she should go there's nothing here holding her back and I wish I was brave enough to go. Sadly I'm not and she's going to have to settle for me going to visit her for a month or two! I've told her to promise me she can't sky dive until I visit as that is number 1 on my bucket list that I have to do. There's so many things on my bucket list I can tick off as well when I go so I'm excited to go and visit once she's settled!

Not going to get emotional over it now as we've still got a while and have a lot of things to fit in before she goes but I'm so excited for her to go and start her new journey and to go join her!

Love Thy Neighbour

Went out for lunch today with Holly to Love Thy Neighbour on Bold Street. We've both been wanting to try a smoothie bowl after seeing them all over Instagram. If you don't know what it is you'll probably recognise it if you have Instagram. It was the big hipster thing going round L.A, Australia & London with the clean eating craze last year. 

It's basically a smoothie in a bowl with either granola or porridge oats with fresh fruit, dried fruit & seeds. Super healthy.

Love the interior with the plants in the ceiling.

From a photo they've posted on their Facebook I think the smoothie is made with avocado, spinach, agave, & banana. Granola with raspberries, blueberries, desiccated coconut, chia seeds & berries. They don't have a website yet & don't have a menu on their Facebook page which is annoying. 

All the food they do are all super healthy like avocado on toast, poached eggs, smoked salmon, sweet potato wedges, pancakes, Buddha bowls (also a big Instagram craze), vegan cakes, smoothies, fruit juices, healthy teas & coffees. They're open 8am-11pm & even do cocktails. 

We both really enjoyed & glad we tried it. We were a bit unsure on whether it was a good idea to both get exactly the same thing as they only have the one smoothie bowl on offer. I would definitely recommend, it was refreshing & filling. We just wished we were having it somewhere a little more exotic rather than a cold, miserable, wet Liverpool.

Moose Coffee has been feature in the The Guardian's The 50 best breakfast places in the UK for the North West. The waffle & pancakes are good as mentioned on my blog here back in October. Love how well all these independent business' are doing. Getting noticed outside of the city. Like I've said before I'd much rather support them then the usual big franchises which are all over the place!
