ALONG COMES MARY

I have had a new favorite café since December! Follow Your Heart is nestled inside a health food market of the same name located in Canoga Park on Sherman Way. Walking in, you will see aisles lined with delicious, organic foods, vitamins, frozen specialties, baking needs & even boutique-like trinkets up front perfect for a gift.

Head to the back on the left side & you will be shocked to discover a full-blown diner right before your eyes. Grab a seat at the bar, or sit at a table (there’s a patio, too!) & get ready to enjoy the best meal you have had in a while. Here are my top reasons to check out Follow Your Heart:

1) The Staff
Ok, so the vibe does have that cliche’d ‘Hippy’ feel, but whats not to love about such? Everyone is super friendly, helpful & you know the feeling is mutual when they say, See you again!
I also love that you do not even pay your check at the café, you go through the markets check stand. Hows that for the honors system?

2) Everything is good for you. Even the water.
Do you ever find that restaurant water tastes a bit, well, nasty? Not here. All their water is filtered & tastes like water you pay for in a bottle. The building is also solar-powered! 😉

3) Gluten Free Options Galore.
That should be ’nuff said, but I would estimate that at-least half, if not more, of their menu is either gluten-free or GF optional; want a grilled cheese on gluten-free millet bread, or a GF hamburger bun? You got it.

4) You’re already in the market
I love being able to grab lunch or breakfast, & also grab my groceries. Cannot get much easier than that, no?!

And, the most awesome thing about Follow Your Heart…

5) Did I mention all their food, hamburgers, tacos…are ALL Vegetarian, if not Vegan?! You truly cannot tell the difference, my friends. I think my boyfriend has thought his beef is the moo kind, not tofu & grains 😉
