Sweetfin Poké
spicy yuzu salmon signature bowl
This place has a variety of signature poké bowls that you can make into your own. You have the option to build your own bowl or choose from the signature bowls and add onto that. They let you choose up to 5 add-ons with no additional charge which I loved! My add-ons to this signature bowl were mango, chili marinated oranges, crispy garlic, wasabi peas, and seaweed salad. Make sure that when you go, to choose the crispy onions as an add-on! I made the mistake of not choosing the crispy onion and ended up taking some from my friend's bowl; it's the perfect texture and flavor to balance out the poké!

Eggslut
bacon, egg, and cheese & fairfax with avocado
This Eggslut is at the Grand Central Market. Yes there was a line that wrapped around the stand, but it did go by quickly. Both egg sandwiches were delicious, but I personally liked the class bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich better (I love my meat). The fairfax egg sandwich with the extra avocado did have good flavor and the eggs were nice and fluffy!

Alfred Tea Room
rose milk tea with boba, matcha croissant, raspberry croissant
A very cute tea spot with some yummy tea options. The rose milk tea was so refreshing and satisfying to drink. Both croissants were delicious with the perfect flavored shell and light texture interior.

Bottega Louie
tartufo pizza, lobster hash, steak salad & sweets from the bakery
This pretty restaurant has a bakery section with beautiful sweets filled throughout the glass and a nice, inviting interior. Everything on the menu sounded amazing and the ones we chose did not disappoint. I could have done without the steak salad since there wasn't anything special to me about it, considering the fact that it was quite pricey too. Let me tell you now, the tartufo pizza was life changing! The flavors that hit you when you take that first bite is on another level. The tartufo pizza is THE best pizza I have ever tasted!
In case you were wondering what the tartufo pizza is: Mozzarella, fontina, truffle pecorino, crème
fraîche, black truffle mushroom pâté & soft cooked egg

Ramen Hood
spicy ramen
This Ramen Hood is at the Grand Central Market. My friend and I were in the mood for some ramen and decided to try this out. Everything in this ramen was vegan, which was a first for both of us. We were hesitant to try it at first, but it was surprisingly good. I don't think it can be compared to the usual meat broth based ramen because the flavors of the meat is what really makes the ramen for me. Although it was good I wouldn't have it again.

Urth Caffe
sweets: blueberry pie (a la mode), earl grey tiramisu, fruit tart / drinks: matcha lattes & chai latte
Everything that we had at this place was so yummy and the pretty outdoor seating was a great plus! When you go to Urth Caffe make sure to get the blueberry pie and order it heated up with vanilla ice cream on the side; you'll be hooked after the first bite!

Snow monster
jasmine tea latte with boba
Yes people usually come here for their signature light-bulb glasses, but the tea is also worth the visit! The light-bulb glass is extra charge and an option for customers. You can either get the tea in a regular plastic cup, jar, or light-bulb glass. Whichever one you choose you do get to keep, so the extra charge was worth it for me.

G & B Coffee
almond macadamia latte
This G & B is at the Grand Central Market. This latte had the perfect balance between espresso and its almond macadamia milk. The flavors were just right!
