Serotonin Cafe @ Burnley Station – as these italics baffle me, so too does the fact that I have only recently discovered Serotonin Cafe. I was with my bud Cass who is a vegan to the max (animals for LYF) and I had heard about this magical cafe that only serves organic, vegan, serotonin-raising foods. So, to pretend like I knew what was up, I took her here. The menu was elaborate and that was just for the LATTES – you could get gingerbread ones, choc mint and other flavours that I didn’t pay attention to because I saw on the list COCONUT ESPRESSO BOMB. Which I ordered. And out came a coconut with a straw and a lil coffee shot. Was it going to curdle? How was this nut and this other nut flavour combo going to werk? I don’t know science but ever since I was touched by the lips of a handsome Frenchman once, I have come to know heaven – THIS was the drink-equivalent.
Jesus. H. Cheeses. How can this not be on the menu at every single cafe in the city?
Ok dranks aside, the menu was off its head. Bowls of veggie goodness – big bowls – pancakes made of bananas, waffles made of avocado and Mexicans, doughnuts that are covered in chocolatey YASness but are made from THINGS THAT ARE GOOD FOR YOU.
So yeah, if you’re anything like The Sprink – you will go back to this cafe time and time again cos it is so damn good and you’re the type of person who gets addicted to things – healthy eats, handsome men, Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights, whatever.
Oh and final note – instead of seats or stools THEY HAVE SWINGS.
