Generally, I've been going to grocery store route, since most restaurant menus are full of high saturated fat, high sodium, questionable ingredient items, or they're cost prohibitive. Hearth strikes a perfect balance of using high quality, healthy ingredients, while still being affordable. I hope that more restaurants like Hearth open up all over the world. I had the miso soup, it was vegan, soy free, and dairy free, and even though I have no allergies, sensitivities, or ethics based restrictions, I thought it was a tasty bowl of soup, and would happily stop by again for another one, or to try something else.

Went for broke and splurged on a double ($4 more) and glad I did: smooth and satisfying. Need just one! Dinner: Sockeye filet sandwich on a bun that held its own. Served with roasted but not crispy, flavorful potatoes. The enchiladas which are in the Rebar Cookbook are delicious. I kept eating long after I should have. Excellent service. Drank outside and went inside for dinner to stay warm. Great restaurant. Enjoy!

After spending several days at a rejuvenating yoga retreat, the last thing my friend and I wanted…read morewas a heavy meal. Meat wasn't even on our radar--we were craving something fresh, nourishing, and full of flavor. After checking into our hotel, we headed out on a walk to explore Victoria. Well...our "little stroll" turned into quite the adventure and ended with us catching a ferry taxi back. And here I thought Las Vegas was the city of walking! Still in search of the perfect healthy dinner, we asked the front desk for a recommendation. Without hesitation, she suggested Be Love, mentioning its incredible vegan menu and abundance of gluten-free-friendly options. It sounded exactly like what we were looking for. From the moment we walked in, we loved the atmosphere. The restaurant was bright, clean, welcoming, and had a fun, upbeat energy that made us feel right at home. We started with a couple of refreshing drinks and shared the mezze platter, which was the perfect way to ease into the meal with a variety of fresh, vibrant flavors. Then came the stacked tacos...and apparently our hunger had reached DEFCON 1 because I completely forgot to take a picture before we devoured them! If you've ever looked at your empty plate and thought, "Oops...I guess that was photo-worthy," you'll understand. Fortunately, I remembered dessert. We took home the chocolate caramel brownies and a protein cookie to enjoy later. The protein cookie was good, but those chocolate caramel brownies absolutely stole the show. Rich, decadent, perfectly balanced, and dangerously delicious--I would happily make a return trip just for those alone. Whether you're vegan, gluten-free, or simply someone who appreciates creative, flavorful food made with quality ingredients, Be Love is absolutely worth a visit. It was the perfect ending to a peaceful yoga retreat, and I'd gladly return the next time I'm in Victoria.

She answered all of our questions and made some good suggestions. We settled on trying the Blue Majik Bowl, Coffee Break and an almond cranberry salad. All of the products were fresh and fantastic.

It was pretty good, so my friend and I decided to be adventurous and tried one that was made with cashews, almonds, mushrooms, etc. it was definitely not the best tasting drink especially for $10. So, I mean, I would recommend this place but I would be careful what you choose. Healthy drinks doesn't necessarily mean they'll taste great.

This place is a charming cafe located in Friday Harbor…read more The food and drinks here were absolutely spectacular. We ordered a few lattes made with their in-house syrups, and every single one of them was incredible. We loved them so much we went back for them again and again over the weekend we were there. We also tried their chorizo burrito and donuts, which were both outstanding. I honestly want to go back to the island just to eat here again! The ambiance of the place is awesome. It is super kid-friendly outside, featuring a wonderful yard with plenty of toys and things to do, which makes it incredibly relaxing for families. To top it all off, the staff was incredibly nice, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visits. I highly, highly recommend checking out Medio Cafe if you are anywhere near the San Juan Islands. It was so good, and it's an absolute must-visit spot that we will definitely keep coming back to!

I'm genuinely surprised by the nearly 5-star rating based on our experience…read more We visited around 1:30 PM and were told that hot food was no longer being served. We then tried to order a salad, and were told that oh also that wasn't available. honestly felt like they just didn't feel like making anything. The only real option left was smoothies and açaí bowls. We ended up ordering three açaí bowls for the kids and a smoothie. At around $15 per bowl, the portions were shockingly small--only about a quarter full with five banana slice and three strawberries. one bowl was missing almond butter. The protein* smoothie couldn't be made properly because they were out of the protein powder. They offered to substitute collagen instead - not the same thing but ok. no discount. no acknowledgement. I understand that restaurants run out of items occasionally, but between most of the menu being unavailable, the outrageous price for the quality of the output, missing ingredients, and the complete lack of an apology or acknowledgment, this was a very disappointing experience.
