I wandered in like a dehydrated zombie after a long night of work, hoping for something healthy that didn’t taste like sadness.

I had the avocado toast which came on a very, very thin slice of multigrain 'bread'. It was piled high with toppings including mashed avocados, tomatoes, hummus, pesto drizzle, balsamic dressing, and seeds. Overall it tasted great but could have done without the hummus because all the flavors seemed to clash a little too much. I'm glad there are healthy...
